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!
Finally a challenge that entails blogging. You'll probably not post this comment either. But you should get some feedback. This has been a lame year as far as the challenges go. Karaoke? For christ's sake what the hell does that have to do with blogging? Nothing. If you want to find the best gay blogger do a little surfing and you'll actually find plenty or worthy and talented candidates out there. I have contacted AussieBum about their sponsorship regarding this contest and I have gotten a very interesting reply. Good luck getting any big name sponsors for this contest next year!
Toby: Woof for your feedback, Joey. Your definition of what constitutes blogging seem to be alot narrower than ours, quite like your assumption that we won't be posting your fair comment. We will be conducting a post mortem with our sponsors (thanks for your initiative in contacting our sponsor, how proactive!), and we're sure there's alot of room for improvement, but none for complacency. We worked very hard for this year's GB, just like we did for last year's. We never claimed to be the best of anything. And we have every intention to make next year's better, in a new format.
We'll take constructive criticisms, but dude, an email like "no@fuckyou.com"? Okay, maybe you did mean well. Happy Hols.
Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making this contest a reality. It's been funny, informative, and... if we count the karaoke part... excruciatingly painful.
Warmest Regards,
Ken
I think the challenges were meant to challenge the contestants into thinking and doing things they don't normally do. I think it's great that Aussie Bum sponsored this contest! I would have NEVER considered their clothing and underwear before this contest came along. Now I got a couple of the sexy swimsuits for my boyfriend this Christmas.
I really enjoyed the Karaoke challenge because it forced all these guys to put themselves out there in a vulnerable way. You're just mad because you wanted the contestants to sing Madonna songs and got Blondie and Crystal Gayle. REAL blonds.
I don't know what Joey is talking about. I really loved the gay bloggies. It introduced me to a lot of great new bloggers and always managed to put a smile on my face (the aussiebum model in the corner didn't hurt either!). Thanks again for a great contest and I can't wait until next year.
My My Joey, what do you expect for free entertainment?
My review of round twelve is up at my blog. I think karaoke was a great idea, I just wish Frank had gone along with it. But then, blogging is individuality, so that is his idea of karaoke.
If you have a round 13, please have the contestants watch "2girls1cup" and make a video of the reaction.
The way I see it, anyone can decide at anytime to hand out their own 'awards' and host their own contests on their own sites. They are welcome to work hard to find interesting content, willing sponsors, and go for it. If you don't like the participants or the way the contest is being conducted click that beautiful X in the top corner of your browser and shut the fuck up. Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors, sweetcheeks, because not everyone has the same taste.
I personally enjoyed the competition, even though I am completely ashamed of the disgusting behavior displayed in the comments on some of Craig's posts. You may not like his sense of humor, but you have to give him props for putting more effort and thought into making something entertaining than any of the other contestants.
By the way, do you plan on ever announcing the results?
