LJ Idol 2 - Top Three Voting
This week has been the most important so far for our three remaining contestants, and there were some pleasant results. All three women remaining are respectable competitors, but obviously, only one of them can win. This choice is all yours, America. Tonight you will determine which two contestants will battle it out for the ultimate victory, and which one will be let go from the competition. This week's challenges were: Create a LiveJournal post that addressed all nine eliminated LiveJournal Idol 2 contestants, leave voicemails on my cell phone from 8:00-12:00 during school, and to come up with a creative response that tied together Mary's fake grave, Kellie Pickler, and LiveJournal Idol 2. I will begin by giving my personal remarks about the contestants, and then I will show you what they have done and let you decide for yourselves who deserves to move on to the final round.
Kristina Ronald - Kristina, after your resurgence in dedication to the competition that you showed last week, I was a little disappointed by this week's efforts. During the week, you failed to make any cell phone calls, which was especially disappointing seeing as your schedule is slightly less rigorous than, say, Rebecca's, so you should have found the time to make at least one call. It appears that you attempted to redeem yourself late in the game by throwing together two of the challenges. However, you obviously didn't put as much effort into them as they deserved, and that may show in the voting. Your tribute post to the eliminated contestants was fine, but it wasn't particularly funny or emotion-evoking. You did a decent job though. Also, I respect the effort you put into your creative response, as it was sort of enjoyable, but it didn't seem as though you put a whole lot of thought into how you were going to work the story - for example, Mary's grave is not really even mentioned in the story...she is buried with her parrots?? Come now, Kristina, you could have thought of something a little more witty. Still, you did complete two out of the three challenges, so you may in fact make it to the finals, but the chances of you actually winning this whole thing are pretty slim.
Rebecca Levin - Oh, Rebecca. I have to say, I was very impressed by your performance in the cell phone challenge. Your calls were very long, and I like that you made the calls while you were actually walking through the hallways instead of sneaking away to the bathroom or something, that was very brave and LJ Idol-worthy of you. However, while I am sorry that you were feeling ill today, that still does not make up for not completing the other two challenges. I know you are busy, but you couldn't have been THAT busy to not have had ten minutes to throw together a tribute to the eliminated contestants. I'm not sure whether or not you will get through this round, it's going to be really close. We'll see what the viewers think.
Mary Hanrahan - Mary, I don't need to bother praising you because your efforts speak for themselves. While you may have been ever-so-slightly outclassed with the cell phone challenge, overall you were far and away the best competitor this week, and you have been far and away the best competitor of this competition, in general. And I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I predict that you will receive far and away the highest number of votes this week.
Well, that's what I thought, but you have every right to disagree, America. See the results for yourself.

Well, America, the fate of these three women lies in your hands. What will the Final Two be? Kristina and Rebecca? Rebecca and Mary? Kristina and Mary? It could be any of these.
