Amazingly huge full-size version here.
So today is just a mishmash of things we need to catch up on as I haven't had a chance to blog since Monday and so here's everything that's happened since then which most importantly is this: Yay! He's safely home!
And also this stuff.
From Our Extreme Déjà Vu Dept.:
Attack of the Incredibly Obvious Votebot
Interesting Poll Numbers
Standings as of about 6 am EST today.
So almost exactly a year ago we were busy voting endlessly for Johnny to win Improv-Ice after his scorching performance to "Sexy and I Know It"...
(Yes, of course, go ahead and watch it again. I'll just be here. Or, more accurately, there, watching it with you.)
...and then we noticed that some of the voting activity on the poll seemed... odd.
And so this week, whilst we were voting endlessly for Johnny to stay in first place in the Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off Fan Favorite poll—the place he has occupied pretty much the entire time the poll has been open, since before the show even began—we noticed (stop me if you've heard this before) some of the voting activity seemed...
Yes. Well. IDK. All I know is, on Monday, while multiple people were reporting to me that they were voting madly for Johnny at that exact moment, I sat and watched another competitor's votes increase steadily by 1 percentage point every 5 to 6 minutes, like clockwork, for much of the afternoon—while all the other competitors' percentages kept dropping.
By Monday night that unusual activity appeared to have stopped, and so we once again have been valiantly voting to return Johnny to first place. Although it appears that a staggering number of votes were logged on Monday, so it's been a real uphill climb to even make a dent. But we're trying: Current frontrunner Hines Ward has dropped from a high of 81% on Monday to 63% as of this writing, while Johnny has now moved ahead of Daddy Dean, from 3rd place with 6% to 2nd place with now 15%.
So please do keep voting for Johnny 10x per day from every available device—PC, phone, laptop, iPad, etc. Your votes can help Food Network see that they made an excellent choice by inviting him to participate in the show!

(See What I Did There?):
Auction Redux!
This fabulous jacket from Ignition, seen here on Johnny
as he leaves an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show,
is available again as a relisted item!
So Johnny's auction mostly ended on Monday, but a number of items have now been relisted, which means if you missed out the first time around, you're in luck: It's not too late to own a piece of Weir Gear! Go check it out and see what treasures you could take home.
Pro tip: Use eBay's max-bid feature to better ensure your chances of winning an item you've set your heart on. And be patient: If you bid early, you risk driving the price up beyond the point of affordability. Instead, wait to bid until the last 10 minutes or so of an auction.
When you're ready to bid, enter the absolute highest amount you are truly willing to spend for the item.
For example, let's say your item has one bid on it for $89. Instead of entering $91 (or whatever the next highest bid has to be), enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay—let's say $300. eBay will then bid automatically on your behalf—and much faster than you could enter bids manually—in increments, until it reaches your max amount.
If you're in a serious bidding war, you can increase your max bid at any time, and eBay will keep bidding for you at lightning speed up to your new amount.
Good luck, and happy bidding!

Will everyone please pray, cross your fingers, light a candle; that I get a "real" job soon, so I can purchase lots of Team Weir-Voronov items?
