Back Up Judges...

[Jobeelurker]

Hey Steven, it's me Jobee!

First off I have really enjoyed this series so far, it's been fantastic (I know I havent posted much at all or shown much interest but I have been following) I'm rooting for Elisha to win btw!

But one small query-type-thing...you've got back up judges, and they don't seem to have been used yet...I know it's good that you have a dedicated panel of judges and they send in comments on time and stuff, but on that one occasion where you had Ollie instead of Charly I was a bit like "eh?" Ollie isn't even on the bu-judges and surely if 1 judge couldnt send in comments for whatever reason you'd replace them with a backup judge, not just some random person lol...well Ollies not that random but still, he wasnt on the original bu-judge list lol

Erm...anyway my points got lost in this long-ish post so I'll just shut up now...but you get my drift yeh?

I think I might be able to explain this.

First off...Steven WAS a back-up judge and Amy was set to be an original judge. Amy started college and Steven took over naturally. Jeanie, our beloved Sim Idol 1 winner, is also a backup judge....but she also is a busy woman as well...booking gigs, competing, giving back to her community, etc. Anyway, the time I was gone, I was in the process of moving and I really couldn't get my comments in on time because my computer wasn't set up. I got back on the internet a day after the release of that episode. I still posted my comments though.....hehe. . The answer to your question therefore was that Ollie was available and the others weren't.

FYI, I would have been available had I been asked.

I am a busy person, but I would make time for something like this.
Ollie was available and in the loop. Sometimes it's a matter of "right place, right time". That's cool.

Jeanie

Because I felt Jeanie was kind of busy w/ International Internet Idol [vote for her!], I didn't want to disturb her daily routine. And yep, Ollie was online of MSN, and it was an emergency...so I said why not.
