So I was talking to Iggiesus and I realized Stevie was the last survivor from Season 2.



Season 1 wins.

and kavish

[ethan]

Hell yeah, Season 1 rules

We have t.a.t.u, who was definitely an early favorite with the highest overall scores during the first few rounds. We were desperate to get him off ASAP because of what a threat he was. In fact, he won "Biggest Shock Elimination" and "Most Undeserving Elimination" at the Survivor Awards.

We have DanceForYou, who was definitely slaying the competition until her too early elimination, which was met with a lot of disdain from the judging panel considering she was their favorite contestant. She received 2nd place for "Most Undeserving Elimination" and 3rd place for "Favorite Player" at the Survivor Awards.

We have ethan, like c'mon, I was hard to ignore during Season 1. At the Survivor Awards, I won "Biggest Threat", 2nd place for "Favorite Player", "Best Strategic Player", and "Biggest Shock Elimination", and 3rd place on "Most Undeserving Elimination".

And we have medo, a popular player who left too soon as well. He won "Most Undeserving Elimination" with t.a.t.u, as well as 2nd place for "Biggest Threat", and 3rd place for "Biggest Shock Elimination", "Favorite Player", and "Best Strategic Player" at the Survivor Awards.

So, we were all there on "Most Undeserving Elimination", looks like we've gotten our revenge! We were all stand-out players and I think it's fitting that we've come back to slay All Stars. Here are all the Awards (Part 1, Part 2) if anyone wants to look at them.

Sorry, Kav, you're a newbie (which I think is pretty frikken cool -- like, you came into this competition without prior experience and have still slayed, beating out like 20 veterans)

The thing I'm probably most looking forward to regarding the rest of this gassed-out season is seeing whether or not it wraps up quicker than I Love Money.

Which snail of a show will cross the finish line in a shorter amount of time?

[Tymps.]

I Love Money already finished

[Dylan']

Clearly the date is being moved back as I had no time to send the summaries to anyone but ethan.

The EP is still due the 8th. The summary will be due later. They will be sent this weekend. I'll keep you all posted.

What happened to T.a.t.u tho?

[rihannabiggestfan]

Good job, season 1.

Hugs to Slim, Nicole, and Anna (I still think of you as a contestant )

[Lippy]

Okay let's finish this tragedy and crown me as a winner I brought the meltdowns

[Stevie]

[Tymps.]

Hmmmm....

1. Denial and Isolation

The first reaction to learning of terminal illness or death of a cherished loved one is to deny the reality of the situation. It is a normal reaction to rationalize overwhelming emotions. It is a defense mechanism that buffers the immediate shock. We block out the words and hide from the facts. This is a temporary response that carries us through the first wave of pain.

2. Anger

As the masking effects of denial and isolation begin to wear, reality and its pain re-emerge. We are not ready. The intense emotion is deflected from our vulnerable core, redirected and expressed instead as anger. The anger may be aimed at inanimate objects, complete strangers, friends or family. Anger may be directed at our dying or deceased loved one. Rationally, we know the person is not to be blamed. Emotionally, however, we may resent the person for causing us pain or for leaving us. We feel guilty for being angry, and this makes us more angry.

The doctor who diagnosed the illness and was unable to cure the disease might become a convenient target. Health professionals deal with death and dying every day. That does not make them immune to the suffering of their patients or to those who grieve for them.

Do not hesitate to ask your doctor to give you extra time or to explain just once more the details of your loved one’s illness. Arrange a special appointment or ask that he telephone you at the end of his day. Ask for clear answers to your questions regarding medical diagnosis and treatment. Understand the options available to you. Take your time.

3. Bargaining

The normal reaction to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability is often a need to regain control–

If only we had sought medical attention sooner…
If only we got a second opinion from another doctor…
If only we had tried to be a better person toward them…

Secretly, we may make a deal with God or our higher power in an attempt to postpone the inevitable. This is a weaker line of defense to protect us from the painful reality.

4. Depression

Two types of depression are associated with mourning. The first one is a reaction to practical implications relating to the loss. Sadness and regret predominate this type of depression. We worry about the costs and burial. We worry that, in our grief, we have spent less time with others that depend on us. This phase may be eased by simple clarification and reassurance. We may need a bit of helpful cooperation and a few kind words. The second type of depression is more subtle and, in a sense, perhaps more private. It is our quiet preparation to separate and to bid our loved one farewell. Sometimes all we really need is a hug.

5. Acceptance

Reaching this stage of mourning is a gift not afforded to everyone. Death may be sudden and unexpected or we may never see beyond our anger or denial. It is not necessarily a mark of bravery to resist the inevitable and to deny ourselves the opportunity to make our peace. This phase is marked by withdrawal and calm. This is not a period of happiness and must be distinguished from depression.

Loved ones that are terminally ill or aging appear to go through a final period of withdrawal. This is by no means a suggestion that they are aware of their own impending death or such, only that physical decline may be sufficient to produce a similar response. Their behavior implies that it is natural to reach a stage at which social interaction is limited. The dignity and grace shown by our dying loved ones may well be their last gift to us.

Coping with loss is a ultimately a deeply personal and singular experience — nobody can help you go through it more easily or understand all the emotions that you’re going through. But others can be there for you and help comfort you through this process. The best thing you can do is to allow yourself to feel the grief as it comes over you. Resisting it only will prolong the natural process of healing.

I guess we're still at the first stage.

That headline was just to bring in the ratings, considering I'm a fan favorite.

Summaries have been sent to everyone. Please send it to me when you are done (and the indie EP as well).

I am not setting a deadline but it would be great if it could be done until the end of this week.
