Well, now I've got my clue, and it ain't good. Looks like week 3 is gonna be the end of the road for me ... in a big way. I should know better than to predict the vote! Oh well ... more time to cheerlead for the rest of you. Good luck everyone!

Ooooooh. Only one person left with a 6+ average.

I'm lovin' my Your Occupation score - still more than 0.6 above my average. :) So far, I've had three straight 6+ scores for this tourney, which has happened only twice before. So thanks again, Dennis, for inspiring me to push myself!

I'm also lovin' the challenges this week. I'll go ahead and say I'll be in Purple and change it later if I get something good for Math.

Good luck, everyone!

Ah, it was a good run. I had two decent scores (and a couple of really really bad ones). But alas, I'm doing much better on the really really bad streak than the decent streak, and I'm out. I did end up shooting a LOT for a challenge I might not have otherwise entered, so maybe that's a good thing, yes?

Boo hoo, everyone's poorer for the absence of Deb. Congrats on the improbable straight sixes, Jeffrey, but if anyone can do it...

This is a motivating little side challenge and a good idea, thanks, EstimatedEyes/Dennis - et al.

Congratulations to all survivors. After eighteen votes my woody has risen just a little over the average...

Congrats to everyone who has made it through to week 3. It's been fun, and I look forward to following everyone's progress. Thanks Dennis EstimatedEyes for putting this together! I have learnt heaps! Good luck, survivors! :D

Yup, and it's not looking good on me advancing past week 3 to week 4:-(

I went back and looked at the other two photo shoots I did to correct one big technical and looked at my 3rd photo shoot submission and BUGGER! I saw that ONE thing compositionwise I did in the previous two shoots was NOT in the final third photo shoot of which I took my entry from. I have a feeling that is why it is not doing so hot, but it would be nice to get confirmation with a comment - so I am just waiting for someone to point it out. Perhaps I should have gone with my other idea which I also shot. Well - outtakes:-)

Oh well, I have had a good run:-) In a way tis a relief because some pressure is off. Congrats to all who advanced from Week 2! Good Luck to all in week 3!

It's not looking so good for me....
ducky is sitting a smidge below my average...
we'll see if it climbs back up at all.

If not, it's been a motivating challenge...thank you EstimatedEyes, for all of your hard work!!

I will also be looking forward to the next one! :)

ok, going back to the update button now. pffft.

Well the good news is I'm up more than a point on my Ducky shot since I posted that! The bad news is I'm still 0.8 points below my average. :>P The worse news is that my Your Occupation score is now back at my average ... at least that one woulda kept it interesting this week!
 08/13/2008 01:29:50 PM · #662
I'm not banking on staying 1.4 above my average all week but its a mighty good feeling while it lasts :) Sadly I don't have good vibes about adding purple doors to my portfolio ;)

Well, if all 35 survivors are willing to bet $5 that they last longer than me I'll pay $5 to charity to everyone that lasts longer than I do

SO, something like a $175 pot for charity + whatever you have to dump in. COOL!

I would also be up for adding $5 per challenge that I have to enter when/after we hit the top ten finalists (if I make it). If 2 or 3+ others are willing to do the same.

Logistics though, guess someone has to pm/mail all 35 peeps to see if they are up for it as they might not all visit here?

I don't have the $25 for membership now, so ergo not the $5 dollars for the bet either. You could make it a sort of sweepstake and someone else could pick up my tab?
 08/13/2008 09:16:26 PM · #668
For charity , you can always count me in.
 08/14/2008 02:33:17 AM · #669
I hope to decide which challenge to entry is this Sunday for the Fourth week instead of last Sunday.
Please entry me the open Challenge for the fourth week

Almost half of the members know I took the picture and I am below my average by .013

Who's joining me in the 4th round?

Barring a sudden drop of more than 0.5 between now and Tuesday, I'll be in.

Dennis: I take back what I said about Purple. I have a great idea for math, and if I pull it off, I'll use that for the tourney. If not, I won't enter and it'll be one of the opens by default.

Thanks.

My score is well above my average as well. I'll be moving on.

I think I might be!
Sitting about .15 above my average right now (knock on wood).
yahoo!
 08/14/2008 11:42:26 AM · #674
too early to say for sure that I'll be moving on ... but I'm currently over my average by .14 ... if my usual roller coaster ride happens then who knows ... either way I'll have an image ready for next week ... just not sure which challenge yet ...
