American Idol Rankdown 2.0

featuring Seasons 1-17

 

Last season, the Idol Rankdown set a record with 12 judges making deals and backstabbing one another to get

their favourite contestants into the final vote. In the end, Season 3's LaToya London was the one left standing after the

all the dust settled. This season, there's more contestants and less judges, so there's sure to be even more drama!

The Rules: (stolen from the SYTYCD rankdown)

  • We will have 7 judges that will embark on a mission to collectively rank every Idol contestant.
  • At the beginning of the round random.org will determine the order the judges will nominate.
  • Whoever is chosen to nominate first will nominate a predetermined amount contestants and the other judges will have 24 hours to save one Idol contestant and cut one. Cuts and save are on first come, first serve basis so get to it fast!
  • Since this is a rankdown you should have a writeup prepared for whoever you're cutting to explain your reasoning (they don't have to be too long, I expect just a minimum of 100 words).
  • After decisions have been made on those contestants, the next judge on the list will do the same thing, and the other rankers will again, cut and save.
  • We will cycle through all the rankers until they have nominated and then the round will end.
  • At the beginning of each new round I will reveal a pre-planned twist to the round, and we will also create a new nominating order from random.org
  • Once the nominations are posted you will have 24 hours to make your cut and save. If you do not make your cut in time (unless you tell me you're going to be away) you will get a strike and whoever made the nominations can make the cut and save. Three strikes and you're out and I get to name a new judge in your place.
  • If you wanna get your cut in right when you see the nominations and wanna take time for your write-up, you can post who you're cutting and saving and then you'll have half an hour to make a new post with your write-up. However, the contestants are back up for grabs if you take too long to edit. When I say half an hour, I mean 30 minutes. If you make your cut and save at 12:15, you have until 12:45 to post your writeup. Another ranker cannot swoop in and take your cut and save until 12:46! YOU CAN RESET YOUR TIME ONLY ONCE IF YOU ARE WORKING ON YOUR WRITEUP FOR A LONG TIME.
  • Make sure all your nominees are within the confines of the twists and the rules of the game (i.e. no one who has already been eliminated or was saved last round are among your nominees). If this rule is broken, I'm afraid the round resets and you will have to completely renominate.
  • THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EDITING ALLOWED ON YOUR POST WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING AND SAVING! IF YOU EDIT THAT POST FOR ANY REASON AT ALL, YOUR CUT AND SAVE IS NULL AND VOID!

 

To Play:

  • You don't have to have seen every season of American Idol but I expect you to have seen a decent amount of seasons of it. It's also easy to find past seasons and performances on YouTube.
  • Every time I have seen this game get played people will inevitably go for the big dogs and it WILL get cutthroat. If this does not sound like your kind of game don't sign up. DEALS ARE ENCOURAGED.
  • I expect you to be active enough that you can write about 100 words about 1 contestant every 24 hours. If you don't think you can log on once days to do at least that, don't sign up. If you plan on going on vacation or being away for a while, just let me know and I can get a substitution for you while you're away.
  • There will be an application you have to fill out so I can make sure I don't have 7 rankers who all have similar opinions. However, I do plan on choosing rankers who have seen the most seasons to participate or first come, first serve.
  • You don't have to even be super active on the boards to play! If you're a more mysterious poster, that might make it easier for you to hide your faves and help them sneak through the cracks.

wtf did we do for those last 4 seasons (except Trent)????

Dennis won because there was a fight between the Maddie and Jurnee fans to make their respective fave the last one from that season, and both of them got cut when Dennis was still there. :rofl:

Except Caleb was the rightful S13 winner? :unsure: 

I kinda agree even if I was (shockingly) rooting for Jess and don't like Caleb.

 

Also remember @*Wallace's curse with Dexter :dead:
