Our Finalists

[clauderainsrm]

I couldn't have planned this if I tried. I certainly didn't have it as "this is going to happen" on my radar when I started the season

I mentioned this in the results post but I'm so honored to be in the finals with Gratefuladdict. She's one of my favorite people and my favorite writer. I'd love to see her win!

Dude. Likewise. I don't see a downside, no matter how this turns out!! ♥

I said my pompoms to you guys in the other post too.

Open Topic. heh. I hate that.

I was expecting "Why I should/the other person should win."

or, you know, some unforeseen hoop to jump through.

I really thought we were going to have one of those hell weeks this season, and we never did.

[clauderainsrm]

"Why I should/the other person should win."

That topic is reserved for full seasons. It's a rite of passage. (and mini seasons always end with "Open Topic")

Which isn't to say that the mini-seasons didn't do an unofficial one with their Open Topics. :)

Wow.

I just realized that whoever wins this will be the furthest from EDT that has ever won a season or mini-season!!!

I'm telling you, Gare... Timing makes a difference!! 8pm Eastern deadlines on a weekday, for example.

"Oh, we have till tomorrow!" lrig_rorrim tells me.

Nope. The deadline is at 5 and I work till 5.

There have been some really frantic, lunch-free lunch hours this season!!!

[lrig_rorrim]

It's true! I am MEGA impressed with all you've managed to get done between time crunches and baby wrangling and work and everything!

[prog_schlock]

The irony is I'm writing this from Vancouver in the airport and will be posting my entry from Toronto.

Wow, it's like, season 6 all over again. Blast to the past. Make it good, you two. And congrats to kathrynrose and orockthro!

[gratefuladdict]

Season six?!?!

[talon]

Season...what season were we?

[gratefuladdict]

My first season was five. I played six, but I didn't get anywhere near the finals till last season.

When did we intersect? Do you remember??

[lrig_rorrim]

Soooo what happens if they tie, asks the person who managed to tie in a mini-season finale in the past.... ;)

[anyonesghost]

Unsurprisingly, I was going to ask that question too. ;-)

[lrig_rorrim]

*grins* But of course!

Looks like we'll still be the only co-winners in Idol history. Weird, that.

[anyonesghost]

Nah, Gary would only fall for that trick once be so generous in the right circumstance. :-)
