[Kate!]

Jake
Vanessa
Alf
Rusti
Dogeatdog
Parmy
and Oliver

You have all made it to Task 4. For this task you will choose 1 forum member to write a week's Diary entries for. Monday to Sunday. Ýet again it's first come first served and you must state in the thread which member you want to be.

There will be one judge for this task, so if you want to do it please express your interest here. The judge will choose the Diary he or she likes best and that person will be immune from the next Elimination. Start a thread in Chat and Games. Please title your thread for example Vanessa's Diary. You can choose any forum member except the judge or yourself. Other players are acceptable choices.

Oh and just to throw a spanner in the works its a double Elimination this time.

Make your choices carefully. Have fun xx

AMENDMENT: You may choose yourself if you need to. Or if you are really stuck you may choose a character from the world of TV and Film.

[Kate!]

Hang on just realised I need the judge before you start writing your Diaries. I'll ask Cherie.

[Vanessa]

What do you mean a diary? I don't understand.

[Alf]

I'm gonna struggle with this. I've never wrote a diary in my life.

[Kate!]

I'm gonna struggle with this. I've never wrote a diary in my life.

I have every faith in you Alf.

[Beso]

I will do one for sherriff if hes ok with it.

[Vanessa]

I have every faith in you Alf.

Can you explain what we have to do? I don't get it.

[Kate!]

What do you mean a diary? I don't understand.

A daily record written up of what happened during that day in that person's life. You can make it as long or as short as you like. Wait till someone posts theirs and get a bit of inspiration. I've not set a deadline yet.

[Kate!]

Parmy:Sheriff

[Vanessa]

A daily record written up of what happened during that day in that person's life. You can make it as long or as short as you like. Wait till someone posts theirs and get a bit of inspiration. I've not set a deadline yet.

All in one thread?
I choose Michael, he makes me laugh.
I want to try and write something light-hearted.

[Vanessa]

I'll do it tomorrow morning. It's already late . Getting sleepy.

[Kate!]

All in one thread?
I choose Michael, he makes me laugh.
I want to try and write something light-hearted.

Yes all in one thread. 1 post per day Monday to Sunday. Good choice Vanessa.

[Kate!]

Vanessa:Michael

[Kate!]

Ok I can now announce that our Judge for this task is Liam. Cherie and Niamh will be judging the next one.

[Oliver_W]

Yes all in one thread. 1 post per day Monday to Sunday. Good choice Vanessa.

When's the deadline?

[Oliver_W]

I'll do Arista

[Kate!]

When's the deadline?

I've not set one yet. Let's say 6pm Thursday evening. I can extend at my discretion if people are not finished.

[Kate!]

I'll do Arista

Arista doesn't like stuff like this, he'd object I think? Maybe ask him first sweetheart.

[Oliver_W]

Arista doesn't like stuff like this, he'd object I think? Maybe ask him first sweetheart.

No that's fair, I'll pick someone else, hang on

[Oliver_W]

ThomasC is fun, I'll do him :D

[Vanessa]

ThomasC is fun, I'll do him :D

Good choice. And he'll be happy to be picked :laugh:

[Beso]

Parmy:Sheriff

Sherrif says he cant allow it, something about his deputy getting shot for no reason the last time he agreed to something like this.



So I will pick Liam please, if hes ok with that.

[rusticgal]

Vanessa can I do a diary for you?

[Vanessa]

Vanessa can I do a diary for you?

Usually I would say yes. But I've been made fun of recently and I'm still upst about it. :(

[Oliver_W]

Sherrif says he cant allow it, something about his deputy getting shot for no reason the last time he agreed to something like this.



So I will pick Liam please, if hes ok with that.

He's the judge, surely it would be unfair?

[Beso]

I think its to intrusive to to expect anyone to be comfortable with this. Cant we just do our own

[rusticgal]

Usually I would say yes. But I've been made fun of recently and I'm still upst about it. :(


Awww I wouldn’t be unkind…you are so sweet. No worries xx

[rusticgal]

I think its to intrusive to to expect anyone to be comfortable with this. Cant we just do our own


Let’s do that….we can take the piss out of ourselves :laugh:

[Beso]

Let’s do that….we can take the piss out of ourselves :laugh:

Sounds fair to me.

[Kate!]

Ok you may choose yourself then. If that makes everyone happy. Or you can carry on with who you've already picked?

Nobody can pick Liam as he's the judge.

[Kate!]

Ok you may choose yourself then. If that makes everyone happy. Or you can carry on with who you've already picked?

Nobody can pick Liam as he's the judge.

Please all reconfirm who you have decided on doing?

[Vanessa]

Can I pick myself then? I would definitely find it easier.

[Kate!]

Can I pick myself then? I would definitely find it easier.

Of course if you like. Although Michael would have been a funny, sorry funnee, choice. Loads of material there and I doubt he'd get offended.

[Oliver_W]

If Vanessa doesn't want Michael, I'll have him :D

[AnnieK]

Usually I would say yes. But I've been made fun of recently and I'm still upst about it. :(

Who has made fun of you :fist:?

[Vanessa]

I've changed my mind. I'll do Michael. Is that ok?
I was having a crisis of confidence last night.

[Vanessa]

Of course if you like. Although Michael would have been a funny, sorry funnee, choice. Loads of material there and I doubt he'd get offended.

Ok. You've convinced me. I'll do Michael.
Sorry for changing my mind. I was upset last night.

[Vanessa]

If Vanessa doesn't want Michael, I'll have him :D

I would like to do Michael, if that's ok. Sorry for changing my mind

[Oliver_W]

I would like to do Michael, if that's ok. Sorry for changing my mind

No worries, I'll keep Thomas :dance:

[AnnieK]

Ok. You've convinced me. I'll do Michael.
Sorry for changing my mind. I was upset last night.

Why were you upset? You are doing great in this :love:

[Vanessa]

No worries, I'll keep Thomas :dance:

I'm so sorry. I'm all over the place today :sad:

[Alf]

If anyone wants to join this game they can take my place.

[Cherie]

If anyone wants to join this game they can take my place.

arrgh dont go now Alf

[Oliver_W]

If anyone wants to join this game they can take my place.

Just choose someone and take the piss.

[Alf]

arrgh dont go now AlfTake my spot.

[Alf]

Just choose someone and take the piss.I didn't know what the game was. I took part because Kate asked me so I agreed to give it a go, but it's not for me.

[Kate!]

I didn't know what the game was. I took part because Kate asked me so I agreed to give it a go, but it's not for me.

But you're doing really well Alf. Please stay. There's only 2 more tasks and they are easier ones.

[Kate!]

Task Deadline extended till 12 noon tomorrow ... Friday.

I don't think I've given enough time.

Please reconfirm who you are writing as, whether it's yourself or someone else?

[Kate!]

Parmy and Alf have quit. Therefore this is a single Emination only.

[Vanessa]

Was it supposed to be a double elimination? D:
I've chosen Michael. Because I've been really miserable the last couple of days and his posts are making me laugh so much. :laugh:

[Kate!]

Ok. Start writing your diaries people, let's see those threads get posted today. Deadline reconfirmed as 12 noon tomorrow. :love:

[Vanessa]

Rusti, you can choose me if you want. I trust you. I know you wouldn't write anything malicious.

[Oliver_W]

ThomasC is a ray of sunshine, so i'll stick with him.

[Cherie]

Aw Parmy with your turn of phrase you would have been good at this

[Dogeatdog]

I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ve got the time to write 7 diary entries by tomorrow I wouldn’t even know where to start either cause I’ve never wrote a diary in my life. I think I might just back out the game.

[Cherie]

Maybe you should reduce it down to a weekend Kate...Friday night to Sunday night?

[Vanessa]

I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ve got the time to write 7 diary entries by tomorrow I wouldn’t even know where to start either cause I’ve never wrote a diary in my life. I think I might just back out the game.

They don't have to be long. They can be short. I've just done mine and it didn't take long at all.

[Vanessa]

I'm making just one thread.
With what happens daily. That's the way I've done it.

[Kate!]

I’ll be honest I don’t think I’ve got the time to write 7 diary entries by tomorrow I wouldn’t even know where to start either cause I’ve never wrote a diary in my life. I think I might just back out the game.

Please don't do that Shaun. Just take your chances with the Elimination. The next task is much more up your street I promise.

[Kate!]

I'm making just one thread.
With what happens daily. That's the way I've done it.

That's perfect 🥰

[Vanessa]

I'm still checking it.
Not sure it's great, but all I can do is try.
I neve expected to get this far anyway. :laugh:

[The Slim Reaper]

Last person standing, wins.

[Kate!]

Last person standing, wins.

I'm really down hearted.

[Kate!]

I'm still checking it.
Not sure it's great, but all I can do is try.
I neve expected to get this far anyway. :laugh:

I'm sure it will be great Ness, I loved your poem too. ♥

[ThomasC]

ThomasC is fun, I'll do him :D

What a babe. Make it saucy

[ThomasC]

I think its to intrusive to to expect anyone to be comfortable with this. Cant we just do our own

Don't be such a snow flake
I love it

[ThomasC]

If Vanessa doesn't want Michael, I'll have him :D

You bitch.

You two times me

[ThomasC]

ThomasC is a ray of sunshine, so i'll stick with him.

Ohh I take back my comment xx

[Kate!]

Thomas is another extremely good choice. Lots of personality to work with.

[Vanessa]

I'm really down hearted.

We really appreciate your efforts, Kate. :hug::kiss:

[AnnieK]

Looking forward to reading these :love:

[Kate!]

We really appreciate your efforts, Kate. :hug::kiss:

Thanks sweetheart.

It's just I'll have to make the game shorter with three people quitting all at the same time. It's dispiriting. Feel a bit cheesed off.

Next Task is a fun one and then it'll be the Final.

[Vanessa]

When is the deadline? I'm not sure about mine.
I'm still working on it.

[Kate!]

When is the deadline? I'm not sure about mine.
I'm still working on it.

12 noon tomorrow. But you are allowed to post it and edit it right up until then with any changes you want to make.

I hope one of the contestants posts soon. It might kick-start the others.

[rusticgal]

Do you want us to post it on here??

[Kate!]

Do you want us to post it on here??

No thank you. I'd like you all to create a thread called Vanessa's Diary (or whoever you are writing about) please.

Can't wait for the first to post .

[rusticgal]

Rusti, you can choose me if you want. I trust you. I know you wouldn't write anything malicious.


Vanessa...I wouldnt write anything malicious. I will send it to you first and if you are not happy with it I will not post it...:hug:

[Strictly Jake]

I'll give this a go. But can I do it about something really random like Peppa Pig?!

[Kate!]

Vanessa...I wouldnt write anything malicious. I will send it to you first and if you are not happy with it I will not post it...:hug:

Great idea Rusti.

[Kate!]

I'll give this a go. But can I do it about something really random like Peppa Pig?!

You may do so. I will allow it as I don't want another player to quit. :bawling:

Let me just amend the OP then.

[Strictly Jake]

I'd never quit Kate don't worry about that. It's just the kids watch Peppa pig so flipping regularly I know what her week would be like

[Strictly Jake]

So yep that's my choice. Peppa pigs diary. I'll do it tonight. I think the others should pick a TV character too. I even think Alf and Parmnion would t mind doing a TV characters diary!

[Kate!]

Yes this is very true. Gonna pm Alf and Parm and see what they have to say. :hehe:

[Vanessa]

Yes this is very true. Gonna pm Alf and Parm and see what they have to say. :hehe:

They would be really good at this!

[Vanessa]

I apologize in advance for mine. :joker:

[Beso]

Yes this is very true. Gonna pm Alf and Parm and see what they have to say. :hehe:



It's still a no...you keep changing rules from week to week...like suddenly it's not ok to write about the judges when it was fine last week.


You keep trying to make it tougher for some to win than others, just like you tried during strictly..


I will await Jake's games from now on, they are run better and much fairer.

[Kate!]

RIGHT. I'll have my say. You throw your toys out the pram everytime you don't get your own way. It's very pathetic and doesn't suit you Parm, otherwise you're such a lovely man.

My game is fair, and don't dare say otherwise. Also I'm totally impartial which is why I don't make myself a judge as well as hosting.

I have worked hard on making this game, it's not easy you know to keep everyone happy and the tasks flowing.

Also that's how Elimination works, every task is different and has different rules etc.

Maybe I'm not as good as Jake, but I don't deserve your remarks. I try to make things lively for the forum and the people I love.

That is all.

[Vanessa]

OK, mine is ready.
Here we go....

[Kate!]

OK, mine is ready.
Here we go....

Looking forward to seeing your thread. X

[Vanessa]

I have to thank Micheal. He has made me laugh these days, when I was feeling so down.
I'm still laughing at his last thread :joker:

[Alf]

Sorry Kate, I just didn't anticipate what the game was, I didn't think it would be like this. I'm just not into it.

[Kate!]

Sorry Kate, I just didn't anticipate what the game was, I didn't think it would be like this. I'm just not into it.

Ok Alf. I respect your decision. I was hoping you'd take your chances with Elimination this task and if you survived you'd enjoy the next one. Never mind.

Xx

I wasnt trying to get my way...so you can jog on with the toys out the pram scenario.

(nice to see what you really think though) but it just proves my point about your unfairness.

You thought I was being serious calling you a grass, you got all snappy...that is where this started, absolutely nothing to do with toys and prams


You down right refuse any suggestion from me, yet bend over backwards for your little pets.


You have favourites in this game, and you did in strictly, and you blatantly try and sway others to come to your conclusions by commenting on the game before any votes have been made.

I don't have little pets, as you put it, and how could I be unfair in Strictly when it's an anonymous format.

Bollocks Parm. Grow up a bit.

Stop attacking me. I thought we were good friends. Clearly not.

I have been very impartial in this game and have had nothing but praise for every contestant equally.

To repeat what I said before I picked judges rather than do it myself for that very reason. Stop making wild accusations.

[Dogeatdog]

Thanks sweetheart.

Kate I do apologise if I’ve upset you that isn’t my intention but I do think this game is being rushed especially with the tasks that are being given to us. I’m happy to take part in the game but I need some time to actually complete the tasks (especially to a good standard) because I’m working full time and my social life is really busy atm.

Finding the time to write a 7 day diary about someone or searching through countless threads in the first task is something I’m not going to be able to do in 24 hours, it’s impossible for me at the minute to do that.

Ok. I understand where you are coming from and I'm not upset with you at all. I'm just doing the game to the best of my ability and it is quite an intense fast paced game. I probably won't run it again. Thanks for taking part.

[rusticgal]

Just sent mine to Vanessa for approval….

[Cherie]

it has been a great game Kate with great tasks but I do think you need to take on board that 4 tasks for people who work is just too much, I do hope you run it again and I would take part if it were run at a slower pace with at least two days between tasks

[rusticgal]

I agree with Cherie…maybe even 3 days between tasks. The first one I have to admit I couldn’t be bothered with…
The others have been great…

[Kate!]

Liam will post his decision in here when he is ready.

[Vanessa]

Good luck everyone. I'm going to try and get some sleep.

[Kate!]

Morning everyone. Today is the day you'll discover who makes the final. :amazed:

[Kate!]

Unsure if Liam is still judging? Not heard from him since yesterday. I'll give it till 10 am then I'll come up with an alternative x

[Liam-]

Just reading all the entries now

[Kate!]

Just reading all the entries now

Thank you Liam. Much appreciated.

You grow up, you cant even take a joke...

Telling me to grow up, who do you think you are?


You say it's a strategic game....yet when someone is trying to be strategic (ie me, by hiding my vote of alf from alf) in you jump with your big mouth giving it all away.

So yeah, maybe you grow up kate, and for heavens sake start being able to take a joke, or at least realise when someone is joking.

[Liam-]

Well I’ve read everyone’s entries and I’m pretty impressed and I’ve chosen my favourite.

While I very much enjoyed the emotional whirlwind that is the downfall of that annoying fictional pig, I can’t in good conscious put it ahead of the eerily accurate rendition of a week in the life of our resident food delivery con artist.

Vanessa wins.

Ok Parmy, you've had your say now. Can we call a truce and move on.

[Niamh.]

Well done Vanessa, it was REALLY accurate :laugh:

They were all great tbf, Jake your presentation was fantastic too

[Vanessa]

I won? That can't be true. :shocked:

[Kate!]

Vanessa Jake Rusti and Oliver

It's crunch time.

Please pm me the name of the person you want to Eliminate before the final.

Vanessa is exempt as she won the task.

[Kate!]

I won? That can't be true. :shocked:

It is. Pinch yourself!

It was so funny love xx well deserved.

[Vanessa]

Vanessa Jake Rusti and Oliver

It's crunch time.

Vanessa is exempt as she won the task.

Ok. Give me a minute. I'm at work.

[Cherie]

Well done Ness, great work

They were all brilliant though :laugh:

[Vanessa]

This is so hard. I genuinely liked them all.
Well done everyone.

[Kate!]

I have three votes. One more and we'll know our finalists.

Good luck all.

Exciting!

[rusticgal]

Vanessa...well done but I thought they were all brilliant...displaying a great sense of humour...

[Kate!]

Well. Here we are.

So I can now reveal that....

Jake.... you got two votes
Oliver.... you got two votes
Rusti.... you got no votes and are in the final.

So we have a tie ladies and gentlemen. Jake and Oliver.

I'll be back in a few minutes with a solution.

Bear with me.

[rusticgal]

:cheer2:....sorry boys. Those Diary posts were brilliant, I relly did'nt want to pick either of you :wavey:

[Kate!]

Ok. So I've decided to ask Liam to cast another vote, this time he will be sending either Jake or Oliver through to to the Final to break the deadlock....

[rusticgal]

Everyone OK with this?


:thumbs:

[Kate!]

:thumbs:

Right, hope the others agree Rusti. Just gonna consult with Liam. Watch this space.

[Niamh.]

Congrats Rusti, good luck Jake & Oliver

[Kate!]

Right, I have asked Liam as the current judge to choose the third finalist.

If he wants to of course.

Let's see.....

[Strictly Jake]

Good luck Oliver. I want to win this so bad as it's a game I haven't hosted for a change

[Liam-]

Both entries were very good, both made me laugh, but depressed, orphaned, brother has been made into Gregg’s, Peppa Pig is very hard to beat, so I have to give my extra vote to Jake

[Strictly Jake]

Oh my goodness thanks so much liam

[Kate!]

Thank you Liam. You've been a great judge.

Sorry to lose you Oliver, you've been wonderful throughout. Was nice to get to know you more.

Congrats Jake.

Jake Rusti and Vanessa are the finalists. Xx

[Kate!]

You may reveal who you voted for if you wish. I'll keep it confidential otherwise. X

[Strictly Jake]

We don't need to reveal

[Kate!]

We don't need to reveal

Yes, agreed.

[Beso]

I can provide the caption photo if you want.

[Niamh.]

Oh I'm looking forward to this one, I like a good caption

[Beso]

[Kate!]

Yes Parm. Please feel free to post any caption pics from these categories. The players can use them if they like.

Big Brother
Animals
Politics

[Beso]

I will do one from each, and hopefully naihm can edit to show the pictures.

[Kate!]

I will do one from each, and hopefully naihm can edit to show the pictures.

Actually would you mind at all Parm to choose one pic. I'll call it Parmys choice. It can be from any category you like.

So each contestant will have 4 pics in total to caption.

Thank you.

[Oliver_W]

Good luck guys!
