Don Henley Song Survivor: Actual Miles
Time for Don Henley Actual Miles Survivor, where we vote off Don’s Greatest Hits until we get to the last one standing!
If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview
I'm going to list the songs from Actual Miles here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.
Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!
Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.
If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.
If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.
The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.
For this Survivor, we also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.
Here's how immunity questions work. After the beginning of the round, I ask a Henley-related question. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining song to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. I'll allow two hours for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any song being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful!
The winner of the Actual Miles Survivor is...
THE HEART OF THE MATTER!
Congratulations THE HEART OF THE MATTER.

Round 1 - The Garden of Allah
The first one is a no-brainer for me.
I cast my vote for The Garden of Allah.
Any song where Don quasl-raps is a song I steer clear of.

LOL! I'm probably the only person on this board who actually likes The Garden of Allah- I just find it to be an interesting and different song.
I cast my vote for New York Minute.

Nope - You're not the only one that likes Garden of Allah, Katherine. I agree with you, I like it a lot. However, as usual, I like all the songs on the CD, and do agree that it should be the first one to go. Since it looks like it will go this round, I am going to vote strategically ...
I cast my vote for Not Enough Love In the World.
