~~ Odyssey Episode Competition ~~

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

~~ Odyssey Episode Competition ~~

Post by shadowdog »

Image

There have been many Competitions going around these forums these days, such as the character competitions and my PIXAR competition I started a few weeks ago.

I thought it would be a cool and fun idea to apply this concept to Adventures in Odyssey episodes!!

Here are the rules: :D

-There will be ten episodes. Each episode with start with ten points.
-You choose an episode to take a point from. Then, you choose an episode to give that point to.
-When an episode hits zero points, they are out of the competition.

**When we get down to two episodes, the competition will stop. At this point I will put up a poll with the final two episodes. It will run for one week. Whichever episode has the most votes, wins!** (In case of a tie, whichever episode had more points before the poll started will win)

I will have an awards ceremony when we have a winner!!


Without further ado, here are the ten episodes that will fight for your vote - put in random order: (I put album # and summaries next to each of them---just in case you forgot what they were about ;))

Snow Day [album 36: Danger Signals] Summary: When school is cancelled due to snow, Alex Jefferson accepts a job to deliver cookies to his grandmother. One his way, he must endure many trials and tribulations

A Code of Honor [album 22: The Changing Times] Summary: Jack Allen and Jason Whittaker find a mysterious codebook in Whit's workroom that leads to a secret gang called the Israelites

Castles and Cauldrons, I and II [album 8: Beyond Expectations] Summary: Jimmy Barclay's Cousin, Len, comes for a visit, and brings along a very mysterious- and dangerous- game

Solitary Refinement [album 28: Welcome Home!] Summary: Eugene considers joining a monastery to get over the pain of losing Katrina

Best of Enemies [album 48: Moment of Truth] Summary: Both Connie and Tamika Washington have to deal with new- and very challenging- roommates

Always [album 45: Lost and Found] Summary: Aubrey Shepard prepares to leave home for college, but her little sister Bethany doesn't want her to go

The Curse [album 12: Home and Abroad] Summary: And "Indian Medicine Man" puts an ancient curse on Whit- and it seems to come true!

W-O-R-R-Y [album 26: Back on Air] Summary: Erica Clark tries to look her best for school pictures; Sam Johnson worries about the upcoming Academic Olympics

Slumber Party [album 35: The Big Picture] Summary: Mandy has a difficult time keeping control of the girls at her slumber party

Karen [album 3: Heroes] Summary: Donna Barclay tries to cope when her best friend, Karen Crosby, becomes ill with cancer

This will be the "ballot":

Snow Day - 10 points
A Code of Honor - 10 points
Castles and Cauldrons, Pts. I and II - 10 points
Solitary Refinement - 10 points
Best of Enemies - 10 points
Always - 10 points
The Curse - 10 points
W-O-R-R-Y - 10 points
Slumber Party - 10 points
Karen - 10 points


Please limit you vote to three a day. Thanks!

I put a lot of work and time into this. I hope it turns out to be fun and popular for all. Thank you.
Let the battle begin!!

Boy, that was hard! Most of those episodes are pretty good, with a few clunkers. I'm guessing you purposely didn't put any fan favorites in there so that there wouldn't be any unevenness. Although Snow Day and Slumber Party are almost universally known as two of the worst Odyssey episodes. ;)

Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.

I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.

Uh, I like Snow Day. o.0 So, honestly, not everyone and their mom hates it. Gees. o.0

+1 to Karen because it means so much to me, and -1 to C&C, because I find that one scary. And to me, the worst.

I actually happen to agree; C&C is almost certainly the creepiest two-parter in Odyssey history, and one of my least favorite episodes to listen to; in honesty, I haven't heard it in years, for that reason.

Nevertheless, it's still technically well-done, which is why I haven't voted it down yet... but I won't miss it at all if it ends up leaving this competition early.

Not sure "The Curse" is *that* good, but I'd rather get rid of the obvious weak episodes before we start undoing each other's votes.

Slumber Party is just annoying, and Karen was a touching story. Karen had such a powerful storyline; I don't know why anyone would vote it down.

Solitary Refinement - 7 points

Solitary Refinement was OK, but if I had to choose, I would probably rank Slumber Party ahead of it.
