Week 7 Elimination: Who will make it to the Top 5?

Whew...The Spaghetti Westerner here.  It's good to be back after a two-week hiatus! I was buried in flour and sugar, baking 300 cookies and a wedding cake.  Not nearly as exciting as this Blogger Idol stuff.

I, for one, cannot believe it's already November.  And I can't believe we're this far into Blogger Idol.  Where has the time gone?  We're already at the point where we get to start handing out prizes.  I hate seeing people get eliminated from this competition (even though I know it has to happen), but at least now they get something in exchange for all their hard work.

This week's winner (see how I'm spinning this whole being eliminated thing...) will receive:

GIANTmicrobes

Founded in 2002, the mission at GIANTmicrobes Inc. is to produce unique and interesting gifts for children and adults alike. Whether your interest is educational, medical, or just plain entertainment, they are your number one source for all things microbial! The winner will receive their choice of one giant Gigantic plush toy.

Boogie Wipes

Boogie Wipes® are the first ever saline nose wipe. They are a great solution for kids’ sore, red, runny noses. Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Winner will receive two 90 count canisters and several individual packages of Boogie Wipes.

I also want to thank our guest judge, Red Vines and Red Wine.  I've loved getting to meet all of our guest judges this season.  They're awesome.

Alright...so who will it be?  Who's moving on, and whose journey toward the Blogger Idol crown ends today?  Let's find out...

Week 7 Voting Has Begun!

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through season two of Blogger Idol!  Just six contestants remain out of our original Top 13.  The good news is that each contestant from here on out gets a prize. You know...thanks to our awesome sponsors and supporters.

This week our contestants wrote about choices that changed their lives.  It's hard to know where any of these bloggers would have ended up if they'd taken the other path, but we're glad they ended up right where they are: Here at Blogger Idol.

So read them now, and pick your favorite.

Manderstanding: My Chosen Path
Pile of Babies: The Devil I Don't Know
Martinis and Minivans: It Was Time to Choose Me
Dad and Buried: French Exit
Crazed in the Kitchen: Home is Where the Heart Is

The closer we get to the end, the more important each vote is to make sure your contestant stays in the race! Vote Now!

Week 7 Play-at-Home Link Up

Every decision we make changes the outcome of our life. This week's assignment theme is "There once was a chance I didn't take...". You have to write about a chance that you regret not taking, or a chance that you had, that you didn't take, that may have turned your life in a totally different direction.

If you are having trouble thinking of an idea, try thinking on a smaller scale, instead of a larger one. What if you never would have broken up with that boyfriend in high school? What if you never would have had your first child? What if you would have kept your mouth shut during that arguement, and not told someone how you really feel?

When you are all done, post your link here! If you post, make sure you go back and read, and comment on two posts, with suggestions about how they can do better!
