    Default Best of Timothy B. Schmit Song Survivor

    Time for the "Best of Timothy B. Schmit" Survivor, where we vote off what we've determined to the be the best of Timothy's music 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 determined by our "Best of Timothy B. Schmit" thread 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 Daylight 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. This holds true even if your vote is a mistake. Sorry, them's the rules!

    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.

    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 Schmit-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. You must include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune in your post in order for it to count. 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!

    And the winner is...

    The Shadow


    Songs eliminated:
    So Much in Love - 4/02
    Let It Be Me (with Jackson Browne) - 4/04
    Playin' It Cool - 4/06

    OK, this is hard, but in spite of the fact that I put it in my "Top 14" earlier....

    I cast my vote for "Let It Be Me."


    I liked Willie's idea of it as a "bonus track" better!

    Well, I want to do this. I can't claim nearly as much familiarity with these songs as the 'real' Tim fans but I will give it a shot.

    Ironically, the song I have known the longest is the song I want to vote off first. I cast my vote for So Much In Love, which I am afraid I have always found rather twee.

    After much deliberation on my part (it was rough listening over and over and over to these songs ) I have decided to cast my first vote for...

    In Roxy's Eyes

    His voice is absolutely beautiful in it but it just doesn't do much for me.

    Looks as if most are ganging up on So Much In Love this round--which I must admit, kinda surprises me. Any reasons anyone?

    Is anyone else thinking, life is stressful enough, why am I adding this game to it? I really need to lighten up during these games.

    This will be pretty hard for me, too, as I don't know Tim's songs very well, but I'll give it a shot. Hopefully, no one will get mad at me. I have a list, so this time I'll go with the flow.

    I vote for So Much In Love to go first.

    Soda, thanks for putting all the links to the songs up. I gave them all a listen last night. I have a couple thoughts of what needs to go first... and amongst them is So Much In Love, since others are feeling similiar I'll make that this rounds pick.
