I'm not much on reality shows, especially competitions like Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, Thinking about Dancing with an Idol, Dancing with a Brother, or American Idol. Give me a good Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe or Deadliest Catch and I'm the happiest of campers. So why, then, am I actually participating in a competition like Blogger Idol? Well, I'll tell you. It's not televised, no one is judging me, no one is calling me Dawg, Ryan Seacrest is NOWHERE to be found, and it's free publicity for my blog. And you know my mantra, if it's free, it's for me. So go checkout the voting at Blogger Idol and who knows? Maybe I'll get a few more readers out of the deal. Maybe I'll get a prize. But I blog anyway, right? I may as well try to get a little something out of my blog besides carpal tunnel syndrome. The prizes are very cool ranging from a Samsung Galaxy Tab to Boogie Wipes.
Don't spill my secret but I'm actually hoping for first runner up. Come on, you know me, I'm addicted to chocolate and the prize for first runner up is a Ghirardelli Chocolate gift basket. You should be applauding me for not having an over-inflated ego. Do I think I'm an awesome enough blogger to win the Tablet? Nah. But I just might be mediocre enough to win the Chocolate. And that's good enough for me.
So, auditions are open now and will close on September 17th. The top 12 finalists will be chosen on September 20th. If I'm in the top 12 (remember, it's ALL about the chocolate and I DO share) I will be tasked with an assignment, and all assignments will be voted upon starting on September 26. Please stay tuned for more details, and don't forget to visit my Facebook page and my Twitter page.
When the voting begins, there's chocolate for everyone. Because that's how I roll. Now spread the word please.
I can't wait to vote for you. What's not to love about someone so ambitious they will pass up first prize for the all important chocolate? You are my kind of woman. If you do win first prize though, that wouldn't be so bad either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Lillian. There could be some chocolate in it for you if I'm first runner up. ;)

They will announce the top 12 finalists next Monday. If I am chosen, they will assign various writing tasks, we'll have a few days to complete these tasks and when we post them, the voting will start. I'll keep you posted! Thanks, S!!

Will you share the chocolate with other bloggers if you kick our asses? I could use a good dark, sweet, endorphin rush! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Tracy! I'm nothing if not generous with my first runner up prize!!!
