Gift of Screws Survivor Rounds 1-3
 

Yep, we've run out of released albums, now it's Gift of Screws. This one's for the die-hards. Almost the end....

The Rules:

Please familiarize yourself with these rules because these are the standards
by which votes will be counted.

The way the hosts post: We will always post official results in the same manner
(+4 Red) and our goal is to make it easy for you guys to
follow what’s going on. So if you’re confused, look for our posts. We will
announce a) when the voting period has begun and ended b) who has immunity and
c) results.

VOTING:

- Voting periods begin AFTER immunity is assigned and ends at 6:00 EST
that night. Either rezamatic or I will post an official beginning and ending
announcement. If your votes are before or after those posts, then they do not
count. See below for how immunity works.

- When you vote, type 1) The round number and 2) the name of the song in your
subject line and ONLY that. We will tally the votes by the subject line, so
if it ain’t in the subject it doesn’t count!

- Votes can NOT be changed once they’re posted. We count your first vote and
that is all.

- 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 we’ll have a sudden-death immunity question
ready which will allow someone to make the call themselves between those two (or
more) songs.

IMMUNITY:

- After we tally the scores, we will announce the results and post an immunity
question/puzzle/etc. and await a response post. In order to be considered,
the answering post must contain both the following: 1) the correct answer and 2)
the choice for immunity. When we get that post, it will then be VERIFIED by
us in bright red letters confirming who has immunity this round. So again, if we
haven’t posted, nothing is official! Once we confirm immunity, the voting period
begins. There is no immunity question for Round 1; we'll start that on Round 2.

Thanks for playing and have a good time!

The songs for Gift of Screws survivor are:

Given Thing
Gotta Get Away
I Am Waiting*
She Smiled Sweetly

*We feel Lindsey’s inclusion of this on his Soundstage without Fleetwood Mac
makes it a solo outtake as opposed to a Fleetwood Mac outtake.

Let the games begin!

ROUND 1 BEGINS NOW.

Round 1 - Given Thing
 

Given Thing. Sorry, Gerald, but he's incoherent. I just can't justify keeping it around.

Round 1-- Given Thing
 

Where's SGCYM? That not considered Gift of Screws?

Round one-Given Thing
 

???????...............

Round 1: Down on Rodeo
 

Lindsey certainly considered it part of Gift of Screws 2001 (as he did Miranda, Steal Your Heart Away, Red Rover, Come, Murrow, Bleed to Love Her, Say Goodbye & even Go Insane redux).

I had to vote off Down on Rodeo. I'm sorry, but I just hate it.

Round 1 - Given Thing
 

.....................

Round 1 - Try For The Sun
 

I like all of them !!! I enjoy Given Thing !!

round 1 given thing
 

***********

The only reason I can think of is because "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind" was actually officially released but in a very limited form - on the GLAAD Awards CD if I recall correctly.

Round 1 "Given Thing"
 

Haven't heard it. :shrug:

Haven't heard "Blue Turns to Grey" or "I am Waiting" either.

1 - Given Thing
 

Haven't heard it, either.

Try for the Sun
 

Love love love Given Thing. I know it won't last but I just can't bring myself to vote for it. Yet.

Round 1: Given Thing
 

I've got my sights set on Blue Turns To Grey next.

It was released and therefore was categorized as a non-album track. If you remember, it did quite well in that Survivor. ;)

I don't even remember that Survivor! :laugh:

Round 1: Given Thing.
 

Good song title, though.

Noooooo, don't do it!
You gotta be kidding! The whisper/singing at the end is so sad and beautiful!!

Round & Round #1: "The Singer Not The Song".
 

Out with the Stones covers first, they hardly add anything hugely different to the originals. And it isn't easy to judge "I Am Waiting" based on a mere snippet, methinks.

round1: deep dense
 

..................10

I am Waiting
 

Can't Keep a song that I have never heard the complete studio version of.

Round 1 - The Singer Not The Song
 

sniff sniff it's a sniffin' thing.........

Round 1: I Am Waiting
 

The one I'm most unfamiliar with.

Round 1: Try for the Sun
 

I love them all, but I guess this one is my least favorite of the bunch. :shrug:

Round 1 - I Am Waiting
 

Have never heard the frickin' thing. November 8th, at least, I should hear the live version.

Try for the Sun

Round 1 I am Waiting
 

..................

Round 1 - I Am Waiting
 

I haven't heard enough of it to make a good enough judgement of it. :shrug:

David, you need to put your title in the subject line for it to count. :)

About "I Am Waiting" - I had totally forgotten that most people hadn't heard the full thing since I was at Soundstage.

Ah well, it'll be gone quick, no real damage done.

Hey Nancy, you're messaget hing is full so I'll post this here; I'm real sorry about what happend to you over on Seven Wonders. I jsut wanted you to know that I didnt whatsoever bring religion into it. I just didnt appriciate someone I know to be a good person attacked. :)

Try for the sun
 

There. that better? LoL

Round 1 - Deep Dense
 

Confound you!

Well, I don't hate it, but ... ah, I can't even remember what it sounds like.
