This was a great (learning) experience and the entire QC Team would like to thank everyone for their participation. And mudslinging. Until Gay Bloggies 2008, this is Toby the wonderpooch signing out. Ciao woof ciao!
We saw their takes on The Hottest Guy and the votes have been tallied. A major brauhaha brewed over OMG Frank’s post. Whether it was a sly jab in BryanBoy‘s ribcage or a genuinely heartfelt choice, the two boys aren’t at the bottom 3 this Challenge! So we say smart move! Remember, strategic planning may be the key to winning this game.
Our Bottom 3 for Challenge 7 are: Fausto, Ernie, and D.Mike. Who got the boot?
We tasked the remaining seven to get behind the lens (but most ended up both in front and behind, these boys are flexi!!) to create a short film of no more than five minutes. The results are interesting – From Fausto’s very messy kitchen table top to Frank’s record spinning (except the record was something else, Meow!) to Bryanboy’s hilarious ode to Marc Jacobs to a very cool-looking D. Mike in his kuruma. We also get to be in bed with Chris (not sure if his briefs were on), see Craig shoot blanks (uh huh) in his backyard and how can we forget Ernie’s very first gay porn, his tribute to us!?
The guys put in alot of hard work (some forgoing sleep), so please lend them your support, and start thumbing!
Results for our year-end examination have been released over at Gay Bloggies. Who got the perfect score? Who’s the careless one? Who poses the most threat to the other contestants? And the question everyone’s asking – Who’s got the boot? Check out the scholar rankings now.
You’ve seen the Vanity Shots, we’ve counted the votes. Here are the bottom three for Challenge 4:
Richard, Proceed At Your Own Risk
Fausto, Feast of Fools
Dan Renzi, How Was Your Day, Dan? It’s goodbye for….
A quick progress update about the blogmatch over at GB07. The votes have been tallied and Arjan got the boot after Challenge 2: Nature vs Nurture. Hopefully we’ll inch closer to an answer within this lifetime, but until we get there, this topic is relevant and worth some mud wrestling cos it is the basic premise in which many conservative communities reject embracing their gay counterparts. For these people, who had the luxury of never having to “choose”, they view it as a lifestyle choice for us.
If you haven’t already done so, do check out the various viewpoints of our bloggers regarding this topic. Some really great points and personal experiences shared.
We’re down to 10 blog warriors now, and for Challenge 3, they’ve been tasked to indulge us in their Guiltiest Pleasures. Remember to cast your thumbs up, or down. We don’t need to remind you to vote objectively, do we? Have fun with those thumbs down!
We’re going into Challenge 3 at the Gay Bloggies and as with all things, we start off easy peasey. However, those gungho surviving bloggers are cooking up a storm wanting “heavier” challenges. They felt introducing themselves and confessions about guilty pleasures are for lil kindergarten kids. Looks like we have a Challenge on hand ourselves!
While we have a bag of Challenges lined up, we’re now opening it up to the floor to collect more ideas and hopefully be able to get some meaner, tougher, harder, throbbing Challenges that will truly test the capabilities of our bloggers, so we can set the good ones from the truly great ones. Tell us what you want the Gay Bloggies contestants to do. Be creative. But please, no suggestions about creating “a self-demo video about monkey spanking”. We already have that lined up. KIDDING!!
Please leave your ideas in the comments section. Thank you and if we decide to use any of your challenge ideas, we’ll let you know!
WOOF! Hello peeps! This is Cadet Toby, giving y’all a roundup of all the witty action over at the Gay Bloggies 2007.
After a gentlemanly and mandatory round of self-intros (don’t worry no one got the boot yet), we’ve entered our very first Elimination Round –Challenge 1: Confess Something You’ve Never Written On Your Blog. This is when it gets exciting. Read all twelve never-been-blogged-before confessions – including a bad and very literal case of chocolate overdose, finger-licking, hot dog buns, a 6-minute cellphone sex video, and an unwanted pregnancy!? – and cast your votes now. We’ll be collecting votes until end of Tuesday, 13/11.
Who will get the boot, and which eleven will continue to battle for the top prize? Stay tuned.
Hello peeps! Welcome to the 2008 Gay Bloggies! Through the next few weeks, I, Toby, shall be your humble Master of Ceremony (the boys at Team QC said I had been vacationing way too much lately and I concur so let’s just say I purposely drew the short straw!)
So here we have our Top 12 Blog Warriors, all shiny and ready to pit their blogging prowess against one another. What’s going to happen in Battle Royale? I’m so nervous just thinking about it my little paws are trembling…
We’ll be dishing out Challenges (ranging from the intellectual to the silly and somewhere in between, some time-sensitive, some not) and after each one, we’ll be booting one fella blogger outta the race based on popularity.
Here’s where you come in, dear QC readers. On each Bloggies post, there’s a big thumbs UP-and-DOWN button. You get to chose who gets the boot after each Challenge, so give a thumbs UP for those Challenge entries you like and thumbs DOWN for those who didn’t quite hit the mark. You may wish to wait until you see all the responses before you chose to vote. We’ve all watched enough reality programmes to be well-schooled in how all this works.
The boys at QC launched these Gay Bloggies to have fun, so by all means, join the festivities, comment on the posts and vote for your favorites.
We’re going to start with an easy peasey challenge for everyone to get to know our twelve contestants better. Head on over to the Gay Bloggies 2008 Battle Blog to see for yourself. Let the battle begin!
