I was all set to end the Rumormonger Idol Round 1 poll and reveal who’s getting kicked off – but the poll is tied! We can’t have that… So for now, the poll is still open, and today’s new voting bonuses are a sprite strip in which Ebb suggests Rumorbot could cast the tie-breaking vote, and a bad translation of today’s strip instead!

The Rumormonger Idol Round 1 results are coming soon – so if you haven’t voted yet (and still want to), now would be a good time!

Meanwhile, there are two new voting bonuses up today – a sprite strip in which Ebb discusses his Round 1 performance with Rumorbot, and a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!

The votes are coming in for the “Who Gets Kicked Off” poll, but there’s no clear “winner” yet!

For today’s voting bonuses, there’s a sprite strip in which Rumorbot gives his reason for dropping out of the contest and becoming a judge, and there’s a bad translation of today’s strip. Thanks for voting!

The contestants are done for Round 1 of Rumormonger Idol – now it’s voting time! The “Who Gets Kicked Off” poll is up now on the forum.

On a related note, there are two new sprite strips up for today’s voting bonuses – At TopWebcomics, Contestants 5 and 6 discuss Round 1, and at buzzComix, they find out what contestant dropped out before Round 1 even started. Thanks for voting!

That “Idol” TV show is done for the season (the contestant I preferred out of the final two actually won, which was a bit of a surprise), but Rumormonger Idol is still going on! Contestant 3 and Contestant 4 are up now as today’s voting bonuses.
