CHALLENGE 05: ENLIGHTENING EXPERTS

From March 15, 2006 | Permalink

Challenge-05.jpg

Tim, Thom, Alex, Zoe, and Tim & Morgan are The Final 5!!!!!! Like the Mount Rushmore plus 1 of the world's greatest reality blogging show. The competition seems to be flying by, but there is a lot of great Ultimate Blogging action still to come. It's getting harder and harder to say goodbye to our eliminated contestants. Daniel and Mike D. gave us such great entries and we will miss them much. It appears like there were two factions in the vote this time. I have a feeling there will be more unexpected votes in the near future. I think this is still anyone's competition.

The most important thing in the game at this late juncture is most definitely immunity. It's the only thing that assures that you will be around in the next challenge, and as we have progressed the battle for immunity has become closer and more heated.

For the fifth challenge we turn to each one of our remaining blogger's strengths. We ask them to show us/tell us/bring us in on what they are good at. This challenge should provide our final five with a time to shine, a time to share their specific expertise. We need to know what separates them from the other bloggers. So, we are looking for the person is best at showing what they are best at. META!

The entries for this challenge are due on Friday March 17th at 12PM PST. We are incredibly excited to see what our Final 5 comes up with for this one. The most important challenge yet, the most valuable immunity yet.

woah! I'm stunned. Sorry to see you go, guys.

4 Liz 5:17 AM on 03/15/06

My poor little heart is just in pieces. You guys have become my friends over the past two weeks, and I'm sad to see both of you go. (For real, Daniel! I promise! And I fully expect a snarky response, brother.)

As for my expertise versus the others'? Shit. SHIT. Time to get creative.

And Jona!? You scared the crap out of me on top of that car! Please don't kill yourself for Ultimate Blogger. Take care of Dudeini!!

5 Zoe 5:26 AM on 03/15/06

Who knew one vote could be so powerful? (I guess the voter knew). Congratulations to the other final five. Let's do this.

6 Thom 8:53 AM on 03/15/06

I think the Top 5 is just as it should be. Congrats, dudes, and good luck!

9 Karen 12:18 PM on 03/15/06

ah man - d and mike d? ouch.

mike d. - i still find myself chuckling at the french horn blues. that was so badass. heh.

d - now you can focus on what you really wanted to do with life: make wicker baskets for the elderly, and fill them with various fruits from the southern region.

(btw, typo in the post: march 15th is today.. the 17th is friday)

I totally got your license plate, Steve. Now I'll be on the look-out for a black Isuzu with your digits every time I leave the house.

11 Roo 12:54 PM on 03/15/06

12 Steve Schroeder 1:20 PM on 03/15/06

tim not allying? ... be wary thom.

13 the dark shadowy figure 1:39 PM on 03/15/06

Anyone want to guess whether we're voting off 1 or 2 people after this challenge?

It's such a gutwrenching process at this point! I can't be the only one agonizing over it, can I?

(Contestants?)

14 Real Girl 1:42 PM on 03/15/06

What a wonderful creation story, Dudeini! It was my pleasure to follow along with the sound off, as I do, when at my place of employment.

15 Rebecca 1:45 PM on 03/15/06

has the internet rendered writing redundant i wonder....?

16 piu piu 3:09 PM on 03/15/06

Lies. Whats with the Mephisto fellow trying to slander my shiny blog name.

17 Tim 8:44 PM on 03/15/06

19 waferbaby 10:18 PM on 03/15/06

For the first time in awhile, I agree with Piu.

20 Joel Conrad Bechtolt 11:53 PM on 03/15/06

Through the magic of the IP address I can reveal the identity of "THE DARK SHADOWY FIGURE" if you like.

Do you like?

21 Dudeini 12:06 AM on 03/16/06

*sniff* :( no. bad magic. bad!

22 THE DARK SHADOWY FIGURE 12:23 AM on 03/16/06

Ooh! I wanna know! Because I'm like a little girl and have no patience for secrets.

23 Zoe 6:09 AM on 03/16/06

jona,

i am totally pumped!!!

24 jac 5:49 PM on 03/16/06

Jac,

YES. The grunge flashback was basically a test to see what the YACHT video will look like.

YACHT GRUNGE VIDEO COMING SOON!

25 Jona 6:40 PM on 03/16/06

Friends! I'm sad to have gotten the boot, but I'm happy to have met all of you. I very much enjoyed my stay with Ultimate Blogger.

Keep on Rocking and keep giving pixels a chance.

26 mike d. 10:17 AM on 03/17/06

In response to Piu and JCB, personally, I like the writing posts better, but that's just me. Writing will never be obsolete, but other mediums give more people a chance to express themselves, who might not do so in writing.

27 Sweet Lucy 4:12 PM on 03/17/06

I thought you werent allowed to pump your own gas in oregon.

28 yung heet boi 12:48 PM on 03/20/06

Nice observation! We crossed the border to Washington where freedom reigns.
