Double checking, Brad is indeed correct and fw91 is not in the Sing-Off by one point. So, the sing-off is between Roxie Daggers and Stinger4Christ. Mistakes happen I probably wouldn't of caught that if it wasn't the Weezer song since it was my fav of the round but I hate to see someone go to the sing off and possibly be eliminated because of a small mistake.

At least it's taking someone out of the Sing-Off. I imagine that is a lot less frustrating for a contestant than finding out that they aren't safe and have to do the Sing-Off. Speaking of which, one sing-off song is in.

I knew it was going to be close but I didn't think it would come down to only 1 point. We only have three Rounds left . Don't know how I feel about that. I'm glad we've made it this far but, damn, wish we could keep going. Next Season I guess.

I'm glad we've made it this far but, damn, wish we could keep going. Next Season I guess. hard to beleive we started way back when in February Funny thing is, we probably still have the fastest pace of any of the Seasons. It's just that we ended up having the most Rounds . I think we waited, at most, 4 or 5 days due to judging and, typically, we were able to do at least one Round a week and get the start on another one. The first songs were posted in the main thread on Feb 26, 2013; We are about 23 weeks in and we've averaged well over a Round a week and, if you added the Elimination Sing-Offs, that's incredibly fast and efficient. Then you figure we started with 17 contestants, have had internet and other communication problems, people with work and school commitments, song changes, etc. and we've still gone at a brisk pace.

FAN Idol Elimination Sing-Off #11 Roxie Daggers vs. Stinger4Christ KingOrangeTyger: Contestants, Judges, Audience Members, please give a warm FAN Idol Welcome for WWE Monday Night Raw GM, Brad Maddox!!! *A bit of momentary confusion, with the crowd going "Who?" for a moment until the Judge continued with his introduction* KingOrangeTyger: We are pleased to have you take time out of your busy schedule and serve as Guest Host for Sing-Off #11. Now, Mr. Mad Ox- Brad Maddox: That's Mr. Maddox. We at World Wrestling Entertainment are proud to be the better half of the Freakin' Awesome Wrestling Entertainment Network. (Flashes Grin) KingOrangeTyger: Beg Pardon? Brad Maddox: In the tradition of great entertainment mergers: 20th Century Fox, Bradgelina, Brickie, and so forth, we at World Wrestling Entertainment are proud to announce the birth of the Freakin Awesome Entertainment Network! KingOrangeTyger: Mr. Maddox, I was not aware of such a corporate merger. Perhaps if your employer, Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon, would communicate in a clear, professional manner with our FAN Lawyers as opposed to sending us violently insane guest judges, why- Brad Maddox- Well, I'm not violent or insane, in fact- KingOrangerTyger: What was the deal with Demented? Was he impersonating Bray Wyatt or was he Bray Wyatt all along? Where in the hell did Harper and Rowan disappear to, if indeed they were Harper and Rowan and not impersonators like Demented? Look, if you want to partner with us, perhaps you should supply some security because, in the name of Gorilla Monsoon, our own forces are ill-equipped to handle psychotic clowns, prima donna dancers with huge muscles, and Scott Steiner. He showed up with chain mail and a pipe, for crying out loud and he was the best of the lot by far! Brad Maddoz- Mr. Tyger, nothing will go wrong with me here. I am the General Manager of Raw, the best ever, if I do say so myself. Monday Night Maddox brings the ratings every week and I'm sure Maddox Awesome Network's Season of FAN Idol will really pick up momentum. We'll have to make changes this moment in order to pick up the ball that YOU dropped. KingOrangeTyger: Sigh... Many changes were implemented and, as Mr. Maddox was hard at work on implementing even more, the Elimination Round contestants gave these two songs to the Judges: It Ain't Over Till It's Over- Lenny Kravitz www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAhKf_Ro4ZUvs. Asleep- The Smiths www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy0NySCmuFU

This is really one hell of a sing off you two.
It really is a shame that there isn't a second judges save (just for an occasion like this one).
Two really amazing picks. Way to bring it you guys.

Yeah, this one might go down to the wire. Three judges' votes are in. Regardless of who leaves, a potential winner will be going home. I've said that often throughout the Season but I don't think those words have had the meaning then that they do now.

A verdict has been reached for our 11th Sing-off. This will be our last Sing-Off, as the final two Eliminations will occur in the main Rounds themselves, as will be explained when the time arises. There are four Contestants left in FAN Idol Season VIII: ANONYMOUS GM fw91 Roxie Daggers Stinger4Christ ANONYMOUS GM and fw91 have already moved on to Round 32: Judges' Choice II, with ANONYMOUS GM earning the ability to decide the Host's category from four different choices. Roxie Daggers and Stinger4Christ were sent to the Elimination Sing-Off. Between the two of them, they have won about a third of the Rounds so far this Season, an impressive number considering the level of competition. The preceding three Rounds were so close that only one point saved fw91 from turning this into a three way battle for survival (thank you again, Judge Major Brad for catching my error). That slim margin of victory serves to illustrate just how evenly match the final four are and what we can expect in the Rounds going forward. Let us concern ourselves with the present, however. The decision was not unanimous. Roxie Daggers. Stinger4Christ. Please step forward. Roxie chose Lenny Kravitz's It Ain't Over 'til It's Over by guitar maestro Lenny Kravitz while Stinger4Christ selected New Wave icons the Smiths, fronted by the legendary Morrissey, and their Asleep. With this Elimination, we will be down to the Final Three competitors. It takes an enormous amount of skill, resourcefulness, and good luck to have reached this far in the competition but I believe that each of the Final Four deserve to be where they are at and, together, they form perhaps the most formidable final four that FAN Idol has ever seen. Regardless of who goes home, the competition will become even more intense, even closer, as we move forward. Both Elimination Round competitors should be proud to have reached this far, as both possess the skill to win this competition. Sadly, someone has to be eliminated and we will have to say goodbye to that competitor. With a score of 3 votes to 1 and mathematically clinching victory, the competitor moving on to Round 32: Judges' Choice II is... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}
Roxie Daggers!!! You continue your amazing Season by choosing a clutch song featuring the ultra talented guitar icon Lenny Kravitz channeling an amazing fun groove! You will certainly continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Congratulations!
Stinger4Chirst, that means, unfortunately, that you will not be the winner of FAN Idol Season VIII. However, you put on an incredible performance this Season, winning or co-winning several Rounds, and drawing up an amazing song-list. Combined with your finals reaching performance from last Season, that places you among the best contestants to ever play this game. I hope you continue to play, as you add an enormous amount to any Season that you are part of, as well as consider being a judge or Host for future Seasons, as you certainly possess the knowledge necessary to do an amazing job in either role. Congratulations on playing so well this Season!!!
Everybody, please put your hands together for Stinger4Christ!!!

Stinger, your song choice was awesome and made me nervous. You didn't make this one easy at all, that's for sure.

I know it had to happen eventually, but it's weird only having 3 contestants left. I need to pester cage and sloth and others and get them to post in the thread again.
It's a bit funny reading ANONYMOUS GM's comments throughout the game saying, "Well, guess I'm done." Still around.
All good things have to end, however, and I wonder what everyone would like to do after this?

Still lurking. Just not posting. Lol, I know, I've seen you "like" a couple of posts here and there. Not sure who'll host or if we'll take a break or do something else for a bit. I'd like to play, judge if necessary, but I won't host the next one. Love hosting but I'll need a bunch of new categories and I think it's best that we have more variety in hosting, judging, and contestants. I've loved the contestant pool and the judges have been awesome but it's best if people switch roles so it won't be the same. Waffel should join up for the waffle posts alone. That was fun last Season.
