Blogger Idol: Day 4 of Fan Voting - The Sassy Six
BREAKING NEWS: Animal Mind Exit Interview
Were you as surprised as Simon was that you made it to the final 8?
I was not surprised by my success, given that I make more money as a professional writer than many country lawyers make in their careers. My only surprise was Simon’s surprise.
You’re trapped in a closet and you can only bring in one Blogger Idol contestant with you, who are they and why?
If trapped in a closet, I would, of course, bring Erica AP with me. We would make loud, passionate love.
What are your future plans after being eliminated?
My future plans would include more creative writing, better graphics and fending off all of the stalkers you sent my way.
Punky Style Exit Interview
You were ahead on Blogger Idol for 23 hours and in the last hour you
got out voted. How does this make you feel?
Honestly Gregg I’m a little relieved, My heart just wasn’t in it to
win it. and the press has been really hard on me for the pass week.
The headlines about me having no talent and just being kept on the
show because of my skimpy outfits was painful to hear.
You made it to the final 8 and lost, where do you go from here?
I think I’ll lay low and go back to spending time with my close
friends and family until the publicity dies down. And I got some sweet
Rollerblades last week, so I’ll be doing some blading to clear my
head.
You’re on a desserted island and you can only bring 2 (bloggers,
judges or host) who do you take with you?
Do they have to be bloggers from this competition? If so I would bring
the atomic blog boys…they make me laugh. I’m routing for them to go
all the way!
I really want to thank all my fans(mike honcho and kyle) that helped
me make it this far.
I hope I’m not too much of a disappointment to you.
peace, love and bad outfits

New photos have started trickling in from this right wing religous website..
As I sit here watching “Stranger Than Fiction” and thinking of the past days comments and exit interviews what comes to mind is that all these Bloggers are living life through electronic words while some higher power dictates to them. OK, so that sentence made absolutely no sense or makes no correlation towards the reality that is Blogger Idol, but I was dying to use the movie in a sentence today.
We’re getting closer and closer to the finish line and we’re almost ready to announce a winner and in a way it’s kind of sad. It’s sad because the person that wins Blogger Idol will probably have the same amount of talent that Sanjaya has in American Idol. Who wants to claim Sanjaya blogging talent?
With over 12,000 votes in the elite eight this has been by far the most popular day of voting thus far in Blogger Idol. 6 remain and the grand prize looms in the balance. THIS IS BLOGGER IDOL!
The next 2 eliminated are:
Animal Mind

So you boot my girlfriend off the show, then you put a picture of me and my peeps up? She’s in the corner crying now. Now I’ve got to clean this mess up.
Kyle: I didn’t do the voting the fans did. No worries we’ll give Punky a good send off! The kind of send off Jesus should’ve had!
Fair enough.
I can’t imagine why Punky got voted off last minute…
dirty: b/c Atomic Blog has psycho crazy fans that like to not only ruin peoples dreams in blogge idol but probably also ruin auctions on ebay. do you know those people who wait til like theres 9 seconds left in the auction and then they outbid you?!?!
I don’t shop on Ebay…
Dirty is a whore. Just sayin. System is flawed. Blogger Idol is rigged. Sorry, someone had to say it again. Gregg, you are almost as bad as the real American Idol.
HAHAHA!
Gregg: you saying I sat at my computer last night and did nothing but vote for myself? Sorry, I didn’t, I only get online at work!
and we had actually figured we were off, but someone pulled through for us and voted to keep us on. why are you bitching about people voting last minute anyway, they can vote whenever.
I just want to say THANK YOU to who ever was voting for us last night. We actually posted on our blog with our goodbyes to the contest. But someone out there loves us.
Dave: I’m trying to create some drama son! I guess it’s working. I found out who did the extra voting and it’s kind of “Dirty” if you ask me!
Yeah I just found out she was pulling for us again, NICE!
Drama is good, but people (Honcho) should not get their panties in a bunch when one of their favorites gets voted off.
Mike: will you still play UNO with me on LIVE?
Gregg: did you get permission from Paul to whore out his pictures and post them on your flickr?
Mike Honcho is just mad because he never gets laid…Poor Mike…
I’m sorry I let you down mike honcho…but I didn’t want you wasting a whole day of guitar hero so you could vote for me.
HEY! Why does it say ELIMINTAED next The Atomic Blog in the list? Are you already getting prepared for us to lose today?
and yes, my typing sucks, you know it should say
Wow. The Atomic Blog has the best fans EVER. What a surprise to find we are still in this thing.
And thanks Punky, for taking us along on your deserted island vacation! I’ll pack my speedo now in case that ever happens!
dAVE: i wrote the blog last night and it looked like u two were goners…i edited tit this morning but i guessed i missed one edit
paul: do you have a photo of you in a speedo?
It’s all good gregg, I really was not worried. I too thought we were goners, so you can imagine my surprise this morning when I saw the results.
I guess we need to make a trip to Ohio to pay Dirty back for all she has done
Gregg : yes I will still play UNO on XBOX with you. I will even make the trip out in the winter storm we are having to buy that damn camera today.
Dirty: I do get laid and that is reall none of your business. Just because I don’t spread my legs on the internet for the freaks out there, doesn’t mean I don’t get my fair share of fish wrinkles, axe wounds, meat lockers, or ham wallets. Thx.
Erica : Looks like I will have to pull for you now. You were my second choice. And yes I’m sure we all know why.
Dear Mike Honcho…Please stop taking the internet so seriously…it isn’t a video game or anything. You do not need to justify the amount of sex you have because it is obvious how you spend your spare time…I know better than that.
Dave: the world was shocked you made it!
Mike: i can’t wait to see your pimpley white ass on LIVE
dirty: Mike’s a STUD fyi
Gregg…I seriously doubt that.
Sanjaya blogging talent? OMG. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHHAHAAHH!
Admitting to it WAT?
Wow - I can’t believe I won!!! Thanks for voting for me Mike even if I am a second choice. WAT sure has some strong headed fans…
I have to ask…
Gregg where did you get this picture of dirty?
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/32/56252342_5f7300cd3c_b.jpg
punky: ouccchhhh
Still looks younger than a REAL picture of Punky…
haha…hey she’s been bad mouthing me on everyones blogs all week and not a peep out of me.
punky + dirty: i dunno if my server can handle a cat fight!
we might need to do a PPV Blogging Match
Dirty vs Punky “A Battle of the Ages”
Not YOU…your SITE and your “STYLE”…
Erica, I’m still holding in there for the offical role of shoe-buckler or towel-holder or something.
Isn’t anyone going to vote for Travis? The man’s a king among servants!
kyle has not emailed me back all morning…I think he’s ashamed that i got voted off blogger idol.
QofD - what do I have to do for you if you win? I have been voting for Travis but I 4 votes every once and while just don’t add up to what WAT will get later… Haha…
punky: maybe he’s just the opposite and he’s so damn proud of you that he’s out baking you cookies, ordering you flowers online and getting himself all pretty for a night of nesting
Gregg: why would the world be surprised that we made it? Yeah our fan base may not be that of say, an RSM, or QofD, but we have a solid force that keeps us in the hunt.
Don’t underestimate us.
I had a solid force behind me. But I’ve since crippled my clicking finger and can no longer vote for myself
Dave: I’m surprised by the fact that two guys named “Paul” & “Dave” can really be bloggers without really owning a burger joint/pizza shop.
“I’m surprised by the fact that two guys named “Paul” & “Dave” can really be bloggers without really owning a burger joint/pizza shop,” Says Gregg O’Connell. How’s business down at the pub, lush?
gregg: think before you type dude. What may sound funny in your head, may look pretty stupid typed out.
Who should I fuck over tomorrow morning?
Dave: what may look gay on my blog is really me trying to be funny.
English is a second language for me dick4. If I make mistakes with how I describe things it’s b/c my ESL teachers weren’t the best.
Oh ya Go suck Paul’s little dinky behind the shed before mom gets home!
I don’t take the internet seriously Dirty. I’m am very ahrsh and to the point. That is me. Sorry if I offend you. Stop breeding hell children, get off the computer once and a while and go outside of OHIO to see the world. It is much better than the nuclear waste dump of a state you live in.
Punky : Kyle has been playing Rainbow Six with me on XBOX all morning like he said he was going to.
Gregg : My ass isnt pimpley. It shaved and smoothas a baby’s bottom.
Erica : I love you.
Booblady : Please tell me those are your real boobs in the banner.
Paul + Dave: I’m putting us on the undercard of the Punky vs Dirty PPV. We will be in a steel cage handicap match. Don’t pussy out!
I want Dirty in a match. Hair band match. Who ever loses shaves thier head.
Mike: that kind of match sounds awfully familiar…hmmm
The entire time all old hairband music will be played. Poison, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Dokken, Ratt, G-N-R, Trixter, Kixx, Lita Ford.
I want in on a specialty match. Who’s down for an Ultimate X Match?
Dear Mike Honcho…I don’t take the internet too seriously…it’s a fucking joke dude…get over it. The only person that is allowed to call my children “hell children”…don’t ever talk about my kids…they are far cooler than you will ever be. I am harsh and to the point also and your pussy ass couldn’t take it when I talked about someone you are friends with…get over it and go play some more video games so that you can one day amount to something great.
PS…Ohio has great style…don’t forget it.
I meant I am the only person that can call my kids “hell children”…leave my kids out of it loser.
IT’S ON O’CONNELL!!! Tag Team match - Dave and I versus you and your dog.
If QofD wins then you will know that real talent won the competion , yes?? Mind you, the only other blogger me has read every once in a while is Travis and it looks like Travis is gonna be out soon.
YAY to QofD if she goes all the way and comes out the champ. BUT, if this Idol is anything like the one on TV then the 2nd place winner will be the one with one hell of a lot of talent… NOTE: to all in the competion…yer all good and me is not saying yer not. But this girl has her own opinion just like everyone else and will not sling dirt like me has been seeing from some of the bloggers. And no, me will not name names.. You know who you are and you have to live with that.
Good luck QofD
NW
Paul: Herbie’s gonna bite your ass so hard that blood will come out!
Do annomyous votes count? Me has voted quite a few times without loggin in through me blog. Wondering if those votes count???
Thx
NW
Good luck all.
I thought you don’t take the internet serious Dirty? Why so mad? I strike a nerve? Sarcasm is a virtue many posess that obviously you don’t have. The only serious thing I said was that OHIO is a nuclear waste dump of a state. It is. The Browns left the state to become the Ravens and look what happened, they won a Super Bowl. The browns came back and still suck. The Indians couldn’t win a title if they tried and i think they do sometimes. They made a mockery of the Indians in Major League. Ha. Ohio State…….you got punked by Florida in football and basketball. Try something more your speed like knitting or horseshoes.
Newfieswoman - I hope people realize that during competitons such as thisone, things are said that may or may not be true, but they do sting. It’s all a mind game. But it’s all in good fun, I hope.
And we appreciate your support for all of us.
Travis, I’m voting for you even though I think you and I both know that Erica looks like she’s going to sweep this thing. I’ve already called “shoe buckler” may I suggest you beg her for the position of “personal body guard”? You could, like, carry your Airsoft guns and shit.
Ha! I already have my role down as Erica’s Pretend Blog Prom Date! It’s in a published post and everything. That’s as good as a binding contract.
I’m riding your coattails, baby!
VOTE ATOMIC BLOG IN BLOGGER IDOL ‘07! Or second place is good too. Third would be… you know what? I really don’t care.
How’s about i carry my real guns?
Third would be… you know what? I really don’t care.
I’ll arm-wrestle you for third Paul, and I’m jealous of your pretend blog prom date status.
I’m thinking of upgrading mine to Erica’s Pretend Blog Ovum Donor or something. So when she wants to have cyber kids I can assist. Because I’m giving as shit like that.
Travis, I’d forgotten that you carry around real guns with live ammunition. Hmmm… do you think you might make Erica squeamish if you were to pack around an assualt rifle and a bandolier of ammo?
I’m picturing something like Rambo. Only with a cape and less muscles.
ANIMAL MIND EXIT INTERVIEW IS LIVE!
As long as I get to wear my Spartan Costume - http://blog.howtokillpeople.com/wordpress/?p=74
QofD - I don’t think I will win. I really think WAT or you will win. Although I do have a fan who voted 3000 times for me… they posted a comment about it on my blog!! SO - if you win, what do you want me to do? I can pour a mean glass of wine…
Travis - I think you should start off with airsoft guns but if it starts to look like I’m not guarded enough you can pull out the big guns.
Mike - Diamond necklace = date. Haha…
Yes, me know its mostly mind games and that sometimes things stings hurt. LOL. Me still say QofD should win even though me hasnt read any other blog…..LOL
Live amno Travis?? Me got a CrazyCat an a AK47… TEEHEEHEE.. Queen ya need him?? Me will send him……..LOL
Erica, any wine-pourer is a friend of mine. Hell, after a couple of bottles Hitler could be my friend. I’m forgiving as hell when I’m drunk.
Travis, would Erica have it any other way? If she were Blogger Idol would you dare leave her Spartan-less?
Erica
My only qualifier is being able to wear my spartan costume. I’ll start by carrying a BBQ fork and work my way up from there.
QofD - no…
[...] Catch Punkystyle’s exit interview over here. [...]
It’s getting pretty crazy over here ever since you kicked Punky off:
http://blog.jaggedlines.com/?p=40
kyle: you put the uglyness of this contest into such beautiful poetic words that only spike lee could dream to do.
Punky’s time spent in blogger idol will always be remembered as the blogger that gave so much to so many…
Dirty you could learn a few things from Punky as a person!
Mike Honcho…
The internet be not taken seriously to have nerves struck when it comes to one’s children…how would you like it if I talked shit about your XBox?
I am proud that you have so many lovely things to say about Ohio…please, go on…I agree with my whole heart. What this stat does have to offer is free babysitting, over-alls and permission to wear slippers in public so I think it’s a fair trade off.
I am open to call a truce with you as long as you are okay with the fact that I don’t like Punky’s blog…I was looking for writing…not neck down shots of clothes that I wouldn’t be caught dead in, sales and things for sale…not my thing…where you probably don’t want to see pictures of my kids and my dog.
I’m sure punky is sweet and a fun person to hang out with…I just didn’t like her blog…so sue me.
Gregg…I need advice like you need classes on how to come off gay…
And Gregg needs to learn how to credit his sources
dave: for what didnt i credit my sources for?
“The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about”
I love the attention…can we talk about me some more?
The pictures you have up that Paul has on our site. You could at least have asked permission before putting them in your flickr site. Just sayin’
Dave: oh come on dawg this is the internet! Next thing I know you’ll be getting all religious right wing on my ass!
Look at the credit next to the photos!
Ha, funny. Makes no sense at all, but whatever.
Thanks.
Dave: neither does your fake made up name “Dave Evanns”
You’re lucky I even I borrowed those graphics son!
I smell blogfight!
I don’t see how that makes us lucky.
And whatever, I am done arguing about this.
lawdy, Newfie, ya gotta read Erica , she is a hoot…actually i think her and Queenie aughtta be co-winners with Travis the Sparten there to guard and relay all requests to them. (couse….he could be paramour to both as well)…LOL!
dirty and I blogfight WAY better then you two do…just sayin
I really was not trying to start a fight.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
Somebody use a “Your Mom” joke!
Yo Mama’s so dumb that she tripped over a cordless phone.
Oh wait…did you mean gregg and dave.
Dave: I don’t fight anyway because I’m a GIGANTIC pussy in real life!
Kyle: wanna thumb wrestle?
Of course I want to thumb wrestle. I’m more in to the Greco Roman Thumb Wrestling myself… but to be honest, I’m out of baby oil.
oh and BTW, I downloaded the full version of UNO, so we can enjoy some uno. I’ll snag the camera soon… call up Mike Honcho and have an Uno “three-way”
Dirty : Truce, but why else would males want to go to a woman’s blog site. To see neck down pictures of her in outfits that don’t really fit. I mean come on. What guy really looks at a woman’s face the first time anyways. I do know Erica has a beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that I noticed her wonderful rack first.
Punky : You got screwed. Blogger Idol is a framework of sham. Did someone say ghost mouse, where you can train your mouse to do repeated actions over and over again? Voting system is flawed and gregg O’Connell is to blame.
Gregg : Fix your system or i’m on the next flight to Pacific Beach to hunt you down and beat you at UNO face to face.
Kyle : UNO threeway. I’m kinda intrigued but I think more topless women need to be involved.
Topless women are always encouraged and invited for Uno threeways.
And the more the merrier.
Ladies…….
guess who’s sleeping alone tonight!
Who says you weren’t invited…. sleeping alone… Emma?
its not emma
Can I get a retraction?
get off the internet and come pick me up…freak
HAHAHA internet relationship fighting. Fight the good fight Kyle.
Gregg, this is the strangest and most interesting comment thread I’ve ever read. Sex, fights, imminent copyright lawsuits, boobs and more boobs, wheeling, dealing and maybe a little squealing. I knew you were tough as nails and funny as hell but genius? I confess I missed that, until now. I believe your the blogoshpere’s einstein…
Pirate - the gossip and scandal IS quite intriguing but please don’t make Gregg’s head any bigger.
Dammit. I’m out. I can feel it.
I’m so sad right now. All my hard work.
My poor mother is almost in the hospital now because of me. Her right hand will never be the same.
Come on, gang! Let’s vote for Boob Lady! And Boob Lady’s mother! THIS is why I MADE that banner - SHE NEEDS OUR SUPPORT NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!!
But…
… you should still vote for the Atomic Blog too, every now and then.
i want Greggs head bigger…..don’t stop now…geeeeeeeeeeeeeze
Carrie on Pirate! LOL
Paul, you rock. Wanna make out?
Pirate: I’m glad you can see my genius in blogging, finally someone can appreciate my weirdness
Yes! Of course!
I told you all that WAT will win… His fans sneak up on us at night and he always wins…
Dammit. We need to band together.
WHAT THA HELL?! WOW! I thought for sure I was out today.
WOO HOOOOO!! HOT WAT is da MAN!!
[...] by Paul Hughson Here’s all the banners I threw together as we head into the homestretch of Blogger Idol Season One… I included one banner with Katharine McPhee because we can really use her endorsement. [...]
[...] So I started making banners to raise awareness of our being in Gregg O’Connell’s Blogger Idol Season One… and now I can’t stop. I made one for Kyle the other day, and now I have one for Punky. [...]
