(It feels oddly weird to post my own decision. But here goes... )
Dan: Well, gee, xMuffin, I'd love to fight your cause, but where'd your fanfic go? There's a number of things that'll kill your chances here in Compy's Comp, and letting your fanfic die has gotta be topping that list. No story, no sale. That's the stone-cold truth of it.
This is ultimately an easy choice. (g)ooogle goes through.

This is a difficult choice. I didn't want this to happen so soon. It's only the first week. Unfortunately though one of you has to go. I really wish I could've spent more time with you so we could grow together and stuff, but it looks like my group is going to be down one. Hopefully, this streak won't continue and we'll be labeled as the weak group. I want to grow from this and I want to fight back. I've always been a fighter. My early writing career on here was bleak but I fought against the odds and prevailed. Hopefully, that pattern can continue here too.
But I'm trailing...blathering, if you will. I have to choose one of you to stay and one of you to go.
Let's be real though. Even though it's difficult for me to have to pick between two of my contestants, it's clear to me who deserves to stay and who deserves to leave. Both of you haven't been on top of the board activity wise, but I'm going to give one of you a second chance.
The person I say should stay is.......ooogle.
I'm sorry xMuffinx. This is the end of the road for you. I doubt you even care at this point though. You don't have a story on the board and you haven't been very active. There's always next year.

Thank you for the Reese memories (7/9/13-9/27/17)
Due to Computerfan's busy schedule, he has decided that Results Shows will now be posted every two weeks rather than every week, he apologizes for the inconvenience.
[The theme music plays, and xMuffinx sighs and bows her head. She then nods with a smile, hugging a relieved ooogle. Liv comes back on stage, hugging ooogle first before she leaves, and then xMuffinx.]
Computerfan: Four votes to eliminate xMuffinx... Well done, ooogle, we'll see you next week. But xMuffinx, I'm afraid this is the end of the road for you. Thanks for entering, you got through auditions and made the final 24... But that's it. Don't be discouraged! To make the final 24, you have to be a good writer, and you should be proud to get this far. Good luck with your writing, and we hope to see more of you!
Ladies and gentlemen, 24th place... xMuffinx with Dream Jumping!
[The audience cheer loudly.]
That's it for week 1! Join us next time as we see who's next to fall short of the prize... Week 2, 1st September... Be there! Thank you, goodnight!
I'm going to give it to you short and sweet this week, but as of next week (or whenever Liv's ready) it'll be back to normal.

MAMANATOR - CHOCOLATE GROUP - 5 THROUGH kdpuppy - Grandeur
BUZZYRECKY - VANILLA GROUP - SAFE
LIV909 - MINT GROUP - 4 THROUGH ooogle - Letters to Waverly
Liv909: As much as it kills me inside to get rid of another Mint contestant, I have to face the facts. ooogle may be the 'better' writer, but she's been inactive since the 19th and her story hasn't had an update since the 7th. She's going on a month of inactivity, so as much as I would like to keep her around because I think she's good, I'm going to have to keep kdpuppy. She needs some work and she needs to update as well, however she's the more active person. Eliminating her wouldn't be fair, so kdpuppy stays, ooogle goes.
Right, one vote to eliminate ooogle... Two more and she's out, or it can bounce back and kdpuppy goes. Let's see.
Right... Me. Again, like last week, I don't even have to look at the stories. I've obviously seen both before and I know the quality comparison. No offence to kdpuppy, but if ooogle was active, I'd be saving her again. But she's not. And nor was she ever exactly talkative around here anyway. kdpuppy's always shown interest, to me anyway, in improving her writing, taking part, and such. So... I'm eliminating ooogle.
congrats everyone who made it through and good luck to kdpuppy and ooogle

Well, I haven't really been, uh... keeping up to date lately, so I'm not in a position to say which contestant has been more involved with the competition and deserves to stay. But seeing ooogle here again is a big worry. On the other hand, I remember kdpuppy needing some work. So it's not like I feel good about this either way. What the other guys say is true, though, and I can't deny it. Sorry, ooogle, but I'm gonna have to kick ya.

Buzzy: ALthough I'm tempted to eliminate kdpuppy and save ooogle, it seems like there'd be no point, and Compy brought up the activity thing, so I might as well just choose to eliminate ooogle as well.
There we have it, four votes to eliminate ooogle. Although you may never see it, I'm afraid you're out of the competition at 23rd place. Thanks for being a great contestant, you defeated xMuffinx in the first week... but you fall short here. Good luck with your future writing!
-Vanishes in a poof of smoke... and reappears at judge desk-
Unfortunately, that's 4 no votes for ooogle. I'm sorry! Better luck next year.
As for everyone else, prepare to go into Week 3! This week may seem pretty quick, seeing as how today's Tuesday hank it's tuesday. Like I said before, the Mystery Challenge is cancelled unfortunately. I'll have to gather everything together and kinda sort things out. Then we'll have something more exciting planned next week. In the meantime, just stay active, work on your stories, and revel in school not
Lots of strikethroughs today. Speaking of strikethroughs, we got new lists.

New lists means less people. Mint group suffering two casualties, and Vanilla one. Dan's lucky as a plump berry and gets to keep all 8 of his peeps. Lucky man. Anyways, please encourage your readers to vote vote vote vote. Can't stress how important it is for yourself. No votes mean...bad things. So VOTE!

[A stage is shown. Lights flash in and out daringly. Mini fireworks explode over the crowd. The throng cheers with delight. A yellow giraffe strides out on stage. People clap and cheer. The giraffe smiles humbly and bows her head. She looks at the judge's table in front of her. Sadly one seat is missing, which belongs to a very deserving Mamanator. However, a black cat, a purple squirrel, and a red frog fill the job perfectly. The giraffe grabs the microphone and waves to the crowd in the stadium.]
Liv: There goes the budget, folks!
[Some laughter pierces the group. Liv shakes her head.]
Liv: But anyways, it's that time again, everyone. Time for the results. I know it's different that I'm behind the mike instead of ol' Compy, but I promise you nothing is different. Let's begin shall we?
[The crowd cheers. People hold up signs they've written on. Others chant and cheer for their favorite contestants. Then of course, there are the patriotic bunch who paint themselves vanilla, mint or strawberry and sing special anthems. Liv points backstage.]
Liv: All of our contestants are back there waiting patiently for this moment. I can't imagine how nervous they all are. The first person through to Week 4 is......
