The November Contest: "Thanks to Lost for..."
11/26: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED... WINNER ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
I vowed to post the November contest in the month of November (unlike, say, what happened with the October contest), and I'm stickin' to it!
This time, we're going back to a luck-based format, but I'm still going to make you work just a teeny bit. Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, let me know what you're most thankful for in regard to Lost. It can be funny or serious... like, "I'm thankful for Shirtless Sawyer" or "I'm thankful to have met other Lost fans" or whatever. I'm just going to draw the winner out of a hat (though I might feature a few of my favorite entries in my next post)... so all you have to do to qualify is write what aspect of the show you appreciate most. There is no specific format I'm looking for, sentence-wise.
Since the September contest winner, DWTenent, picked the Shannon action figure (he already had the Kate figure), Kate is back up for grabs in this contest.
If you do not want the Kate action figure but still want to submit a comment, PLEASE write: "DO NOT WANT TO WIN" in your entry.
I will close this contest the night before Thanksgiving at 6 PM Central Time, November 25.
I'll accept just one entry per person. Even though Thanksgiving is a U.S. holiday, ALL Lost fans obviously have something to be thankful for about the show, so I'll leave this contest open for anyone, though I reserve the right to negotiate with the winner if he/she is internationally based and the shipping costs end up being outrageous.
So there you have it... good luck!
I will announce the winner at some point between November 26 and 30th.
In the meantime -- to all of my American peeps -- Happy Thanksgiving!
*** And heads up... one of the next contests I run will be Twitter-based, so if you are on Twitter you can follow me at @erikaolson to get the details next month. (And don't worry, I'll still have blog-based contests going at the same time.)

I am thankful for an intellectually stimulating TV show and for the religious and philosophical themes over the first five seasons.
I'm thankful for the sweet and amazing new friends I've met because of Lost!
I am thankful not just for LOST, but it's unique formula that brought an entire group of people together that have now formed RL friendships and given us a cyber family just as good as the one at home. Oh, and to TPTB for loving Michael Emerson's "milk" line and keeping him on all these years.
I am grateful for the delicious food served at our LOST viewing parties. Kate may not do Taco Night, but we certainly do!!
I am thankful so many wonderful things LOST has brought into my life. For example:
-the hope that television series can be entertaining and smart at the same time.
-josh holloway; just think, he would be in real estate right now, if it weren't for LOST. Then, we'd have no Sawyer to love.
-& of course, i am very thankful for all the friends I have made all over the world, thanks to our mutual fascination with this program. LOST debuted at just the right time. I can think of no other program that has compelled me on so many media fronts. B/C of the internet, it was possible to truly become a LOST fanatic, thus meeting/chatting w/ so many fans and reading so many insightful blogs, like this one. =)
I am thankful for Desmond's accent.
I am thankful for the best TV experience i have ever had in my life.
For making my head spin - in a good way. For great characters like Sawyer, Locke, Faraday and Desmond. For keeping up with the US and so avoiding spoilers. For enabling me to be part of the coolest gang in the world: Lost followers united via Erica's insightful blog. :)

I am thankful for a wonderful story well told.
I am thankful to see that the majority of the cast has found other work before the freakin series is over. The actors should retire after the show. Whenever I see them on another show now I cant accept them in that role. Its like "Oh, hey, theres Penny in a different show." At least Smokey stayed true.
I'm thankful for ARG's i dont think i would survive the haitus without them.

Has asked our thanksgivings in this contest post
For me and Lost, the answer is simple
I'm thankful for Kate's cute little dimples
. . . . I'm thankful for the rest of kate as well.
I am thankful for the PTB at ABC for greenlighting a show that is the perfect storm of smart writing, a complex story with wonderful mythology, superb acting, and the gorgeous backdrop of Hawaii (that can seemingly turn into any part of the world).
I really don't want to think about life for all of us after this wonderful show goes black!
I am thankful to Lost for all the new friends I made in the last month online and right at the Beach Camp during filming!I now am talking to and making plans with some of these new friends more than my 'regular' friends! And for being blessed enough to be able to travel to Hawaii three times since the show started and seeing all that beautiful scenery and nature up close and personal!
I am thankful for LOST for without it there would be no Locke and without locke there would be no LONG LIVE LOCKE!!!!
I'm thankful for dark-haired Claire (it was way back in Season 3, but I still can't forget it!).
In the middle of a time when "reality" shows are dominating the airwaves, I am thankful for a show that doesn't talk down to me, and actually encourages me to think. I worry that after Lost, this format may be, well, lost. ;)
I'm thankful to Lost for presenting me with a great reading list.
I'm thankful that LOST is such a great show.
I am thankful for the season coming to an end, now I can start worrying more about my children then lost.
I'm thankful that there is no smoke monster living under my house. At least I don't think there is.
I'm thankful for someone who's a more devoted LOST fan than I am who reliably posts episode summaries and provides insights, observations and cross-referrences (without spoilers)! Thank you "e" - you've done a super job!
I'm thankful that, with so many great characters expected to return for cameo appearances in Lost's final season, there has been absolutely no mention of bringing back the deeply annoying Achara, played by the deeply untalented Bai Ling.
For giving me characters that made me cry when they died.
Never happened to me before this wonderful show.
I'm thankful for all beautiful girls on the island. Why couldnt I crash whit so hot girls?
I am thankful that I have gotten so Lost in this show all these years. I will miss it like crazy - I have asked my family to get me the boxed set for Christmas in 2011
I am thankful that John Locke will always remain alive in the hearts of those who love him.
I am thankful that I finally know God exists. Because only God, with his infinite cosmic sense of humor could POSSIBLY cause—of all days—that next years series finale will fall on a major Jewish holiday, thus preventing me from watching it.
Good one God.
