Week 2 Elimination: Who will be leaving us?

Hi all.  The Spaghetti Westerner, here.  You know, when I first found out I'd be hosting these elimination "ceremonies," I was super excited.  Then I found out that the host doesn't even get their own trailer.  Or hair and makeup people.  Or free bagel and donut buffet. Ah, well, we can't all live the rich life, right?

And yet, I keep coming back because there's nowhere else I'd rather be.  Except maybe on a Caribbean cruise.  Or winning the Miss America pageant.  Or being pampered from head to toe at a lavish day spa.  But we won't count any of those options.

So, first off today, I want to give a shout out to Michelle, who blogs over at Thoughts in a Dry Season, for responding to my distress about the single-space-instead-of-double-space-after-sentences debate.  When I read your comment on last week's elimination post, I was overjoyed to discover that someone - anyone - had even read the text that comes before the long-awaited elimination video.  And thanks to your vote of confidence, I've embraced my antiquated but consistent double-spacing ways.  I owe you.

Next, I need to thank our play-at-home contestants.  You guys are doing a great job, and it's really interesting to see the way you approach these topics.  Next week, I will be commenting on and critiquing play-at-home entries number 5, 12, and 18.  I know you'll all be aiming for those spots since I'm sure my comments are highly coveted and sought-after. 

And finally, I'm happy to announce that we've seen the resolution of the technical issues that we experienced last week.  Comments are up and running on the assignment posts, and I really enjoy the dialogue from the voters. 

Oh, one more thing (and really finally this time), I want to say a heartfelt thank you and farewell to Edward Hotspur and Forever 51.  I hate when anyone gets eliminated (though I know that's the fate of roughly 92% of our contestants), but I'm hoping you won't go far.  The blogosphere isn't that big after all.  I look forward to seeing you around.

Here it is: The Week 2 Elimination!

  1. Hoping we won't go far? That's a TERRIBLE thing to say!

    Just kidding. I know what you meant.

    1. Oh man...yeah, in retrospect that sounds pretty awful. But thank you for knowing what I meant.
