This was a great experience and the entire QC Team would like to thank everyone for their participation. We will be back next year with an ALL NEW format.

This is it. We've come to the final round. Here's your chance to prove yourself to the Bloggies Voters. You decide the topic, the content and the message of your final entry.

Make it count, make it good, and make it the best to win!

Good luck to all 3. As for the readers, hit the thumbs!

We've heard the final 3's new year resolutions. And I guess it is time to say goodbye to another blogger.

NAH! That was a no elimination round! So Craig, Fausto and Frank are all safe!! You can all heave a sigh of relief now. BUT BUT BUT - the votes still count, and here's how we're going to do it. The votes for Challenge 10, along with the final 2 more rounds will all be totaled to determine the eventual winner, 2nd and 3rd places for this year's Gay Bloggies.

The great thing about elimination is you get rid of a fierce competitor. The no-so-great thing is they get to set this challenge for you! We asked BryanBoy to give us a challenge for this round and here's what he came up with:

Challenge 11: Karaoke Superstar!

Lets play karaoke and showcase your VOICE! Record a video of you singing, with your real voice, to an ENTIRE song (start to finish) of your choice. Anything else you want to add is up to you.

Give your ears a good cleaning, folks! Then rock those votes.

This new Challenge is courtesy of D.Mike - Gay Bloggies' sexy Fourth Runner-Up. He wants to know...

What is your new year's resolution for 2008?

My my, how many haters/supporters are there in da house? APLENTY! Just look at the slew of comments here and here (over a 130? Woohoo~!). The fangs and claws are everywhere this last round, and you fellas got Toby here trembling... whatever happened to EMBRACING differences? (if you thought some of the comments were vicious, you haven't seen those we trashed!). Please boys, let's keep things civilised.

Onward! The votes are in for Challenge 9: Grand Tour and the blogger with the fewest votes is... BryanBoy.

BB, we are sad to see you go but getting to the top 4 isn't too shabby at all (good thing you seem to be taking the boot in stride... now that's the sporting spirit we like here. And how true, there's always next year! We will be in touch with your cash prize and free 1 year porn memberships as soon as the contest ends. You sweat glitter still!)

With three contestants left - Craig, Fausto, Frank - there will no longer be a list of bottom ranked bloggers given from this point forward. It's showtime!

It's time to get closer! Give us a grand tour of where you live (You can go Macro - town, neighbourhood or Micro - home, bedroom, etc.)!

Hope everyone had a fab weekend! We did over here at QCHQ. Woof! It's getting so cold!!! Thankfully my fur coat is growing longer-er by the day.

Those Important Moments were poignant, aren't they? Thanks for sharing, you guys.

But it's that dreaded time again, and Toby must dish out the results. At the end of Challenge 8: Most Important Moment here are our bottom 3 (in no particular order):

D.Michael, CitizenDangerX
Fausto Fernos, Feast of Fools
Craig, Puntabulous

The blogger with the lowest votes this round and therefore eliminated from the competition is:

D.Michael, CitizenDangerX

We are sad to see Michael go. =( We are getting down to the wire kiddies, and anyone who gets booted out at this stage will be painful as the mighty could begin to fall! Michael we will be in touch with your 5th place prize info soon! But before we get too maudlin, it's a great achievement to be in our Top 5. So hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Mike!

The year is coming to a close. Looking back at the year, share with us your most important moment of 2007.

Good Thursday to you all!

It's that time again... to say goodbye to one of our awesome bloggers.

Challenge 7: Hottest Guy On Planet Earth

The Bottom 3, in no particular order:

Fausto, Feast of Fools
Ernie, Little Yellow Different
D.Michael, CitizenDangerX

Lowest votes went to:
Ernie, Little Yellow Different

Ernie we are sad to see you go, but hope you keep watching and rooting for your favorite blogger. Your Marker Porno Flick shall remain a GB2007 highlight. We will be in touch with your prize info soon!

Share with us who you think is the Hottest Guy on Planet Earth. Go all out to convince us.

Good Monday to you all! Judging from the number of comments, controversies and votes generated, this last round appears to be a hot one! And hotly contested too.

Frank's feline spinning demo didn't go down well with the perhaps too overtly sensitive animal lovers (dun worry Frank, we get cumloads of whiners everyday at QC. For us it's just called Tuesday). Aaron & Shane from CollegeDudes247 (our kind Platinum Sponsor yay!) responded to Ernie's 2-min marker-p0rno re-enactment. And guess what the vid BryanBoy did on Marc Jacobs landed him? A call from Marc Jacobs himself!!

All good times. But it's also that time again... to say goodbye to one of our awesome bloggers.

After end of voting for Round 6: Create A Short Film the bottom 3 in no particular order are:

Chris, About a Boy and His Briefs
D.Michael, CitizenDangerX
Ernie, Little Yellow Different.

The blogger with the lowest votes was Chris, About a Boy and His Briefs.

Chris, we are sad to see you go, but hope you keep watching and rooting for your favorite blogger. We'll see you around and don't be a stranger!

Make a short film (no more than 5 minutes) on any subject matter. It can be of any genre - Comedy, Documentary, Horror, etc. Share with us the inspiration behind the piece.

Happy Thumbing!

Phew, what a challenge tabulating the points! My poochie lil brain has got the workout for this week. And it looks like our contestants got their brain massaged too. I'm sure you guys are anxious to find out not only who got the boot, but more importantly, how each of our students fared. Without further ado, here's their report card for Challenge 5:

Craig (Puntabulous) ---> +9 (Woot! We have a scholar in the house! And looks like he's popular with his peers too!)

D. Michael (CitizenDangerX) & Fausto Fernós (Feast of Fools) ---> +7 (Mike, looks like boarding school taught you well! Fausto, very detailed work. Impressive!)

Ernie (Little. Yellow. Different.) ---> +5 (Keep up with the great work and sorry about putting you through those speedos!)

Bryanboy (Bryanboy) ---> +3 (Internet Wayback Machine? You deserve bonus points!)

Frank (omg blog) ---> +1 (You did fine if not for those boot off votes cos they see you as a threat!)

Chris (About A Boy and His Briefs) ---> -3 (Gotta start paying more attention to the women, boy!)

Dan Renzi (How Was Your Day, Dan?) ---> -22 (!!!! The principal will like to see you in his office.)

So there you have it. Dan Renzi gets the boot this round for playing truant and staying home to watch TV. Bye Dan, thanks for your participation and for speaking on The Derek and Romaine Show.

To the other contestants, thanks for your sporting spirit. On with Challenge 6!

Answer to last question will NOT be posted. Whoever gets mentioned will get -2.
Last blogger to submit entry gets -2.

Good luck to all contestants!

The results are in for Challenge 4: Vanity Shots. We hope you enjoyed the photos, however self-loving that was (hey, we have to after all those smut on QC right?) We have 2 surprise contestants at the bottom 3 this time. Unpredictable, but here are our bottom 3:

Richard, Proceed At Your Own Risk
Fausto, Feast of Fools
Dan Renzi, How Was Your Day, Dan?

The blogger with the lowest vote count is Richard. We thought Richard put in alot of effort into taking those shots even though he had admitted he wasn't that fond of the Challenge (a healthy sense of humour saves the day!), and we particularly like how he had some tongue action on us! Thanks for the participation, Richard. We'll see you around the block.

Oooh, Toby lurves the camera! I like to cock my lil furry head to one side and turn on my doe wide eyes for a snap or two! That look works very well with the guys at QC. I earn my treats the easy way!

Seeing that it's Thanksgiving weekend for most, we decided to go lite on the Challenge and let the boys go heavy on their turkeys! Erm... that didn't come out right... anywayz! We tasked the boys to ham it up for the cameras!

Challenge 4: Take Vanity Shot(s) of Yourself Incorporating the Colour Orange or QC's Logo, or Both! You May Post As Many Photos As You Like

Say Knob Cheese!

We're collecting Thumbs action for the next two days (ends 27th November), so vote away to keep your favourite/funniest/besterest blogger in the game!

Speaking of guilty pleasures, I think one of mine is booting someone off after each Challenge!! I was just joking. It's actually very difficult and if it's up to me, I'd like for everyone to stay! Let's get down to the tally!

Here are the bloggers who got the lowest votes for the last challenge, in no particular order:

Chris, About a Boy and His Briefs
Richard, Proceed at Your Own Risk
Scott Anthony, Scott Anthony

The blogger with the lowest votes, and thus eliminated from the competition is: Scott Anthony. It came as a surprise cos Scott wasn't even in the bottom three for the past tallies! In fact he was quite high up there for the first two rounds. Chris and Richard have both been in the bottom three for 2 Challenges in a row, but they've escaped the boot so far. We're also seeing some big changes in the top spots based on the numbers so anything can happen. So, remember to vote for your favourite blogger to keep them in the race.

Scott, we're sad to see you go. Thanks for your active participation. We'll see you and your lil hot butt around the block!

Guilty pleasures - here's a challenge to divulge everything and anything you're just a wee bit embarrassed by yet indulge in anyways! We invite the ten of you to 'fess up and tell us about those things you hate to love but just can't help yourself.

It's me again, your favorite Gay Bloggies-loving pooch! The votes have been tallied and here are the bloggers who got the lowest votes for the last challenge, in no particular order:

Chris, About a Boy and His Briefs
Arjan, Arjan Writes
Richard, Proceed at Your Own Risk

The blogger with the lowest votes, and therefore eliminated from the competition is: Arjan Writes.

Arjan, we're sad to see you go, and will miss you. Thanks for your participation. We look forward to seeing more great music news and writing from your blog.

This is a topic we have all thought about and discussed with our friends. Are we born gay or are we turned gay by our environment?

Discuss...

Voting for this challenge ends at the end of the day on November 19th, 2007.
