I had a doubt in the back of my mind that I wasn't personal enough, but I feel like if I had added more, my entry would've been too long. I was trying to keep it concise, but I should work on being able to convey a lot with a little.

Your avi is what stood out to me this round, work on crafting a better-rounded entry in the next challenge, because I have faith you're getting through.
|
Thank you for pointing this out, I also need to work on presenting myself via my brand of intelligence in my entries.
All in all, thank you judges for the feedback. Your comments were mostly positive and I'm grateful and happy for that, but I definitely need to tweak a few things in my entries and I'll be well on my way.

11) ZAID / STARACADEMY1990
I know you fairly well and I know you are better than this position. Your avatar wasn't that bad and did stand out, however it was Chris Brown and unfortunately the bias may be a little too strong against him. Start changing their minds because you aren't the usual Chris stan.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 8.4
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 1
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 0
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Will Anna and Kavish please step forward.
I only have one name typed out in the Teal font below and that person will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
Anna --- Oh how the mighty has fallen. Last challenge you were top two, now you are in the bottom two. In this competition you can't afford to slip that hard, it may cause you the competition. Your avatar was cute and different, though from the avatars others had yours didn't stand out. Your story made up for it though. That may have been your downfall, leaving it a bit lackluster. We know there is more to you, you have a big fan base.
Kavish --- Same with Anna, oh how the might has fallen. Last challenge you were in the top four and now you are in the bottom. Like Anna as well, your avatar is different from those on ATRL, but it is very dark. You explained it well, but it was too much. You had most us losing our attention while reading. It was beautifully written, but could have been better. I'm going to say with you as well, we know there is more to you.
So who stays?
12) ANNA / BORNTODIE
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Next challenge, bring out us some personality to stand out from the others. Think of your brand you gave yourself and crank it up a notch. You have the qualities, it is time for us to see them.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 9.4
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 2
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 0
Kavish --- JUDGE AVERAGE: 11.6
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 1
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 1
I'm sorry to say, but you are done in the competition. Your avatar has such a strong meaning to you and we can not judge that. However, compared to the others it just didn't stand out. If it can't stand out against 13 others, how is it going to stand out from thousands of members. There is a top member inside of you, I can see it. If you work a bit harder, we'll be seeing your name and avatar a lot more.
Keep an eye out for Matty mail where it'll explain the next challenge!!!
Fierce and Love
- Matty

This site's absolutely doing the most with its damn overcapacity messages.

-Your clip has "Leggo" in it, which makes Chris Brown stans seem not as bad as everyone is making them out to be? I don't quite follow the logic.
-I appreciate the usage of a Chris avi and the very brief mention of how you were unique in 2011 by being one of the only ones to have a Chris avi but I honestly wouldn't have known that was Chris if it wasn't for you.
-Side note: The lucky charm line was very cleverly in a different color but considering it was a lucky charm, I would have thought green was a better choice, followed by a instead of a .
|
I honestly thought my entry was too long because Matty said few sentences. So I tried to cut down on a lot of the details and hoped to just focus on the main points. 
As for the confusing part, it's my fault for not separating both statements. #ImmigrantProblmes 
I meant to say it stands out that it has "Leggo" rather than just a clip. And in the other part I wanted to stay that CB stans are viewed on this forum as "bad" members, and I just want to prove that wrong.

Thank you so much for the kind words

|
I honestly didn't know how you felt about CB. I was afraid to submit this avi because of possible backlash. But I figured if I don't take risks and stand behind what I support, what's the point of all of this? 
I'm glad you looked passed him

I didn't find the content of your entry too convincing. I commend you for using an avi that's important to you, but it could be interpreted as a little self-indulgent to use it as a "good luck charm." Part of this competition is evolving to stand out from your peers. I don't think you had a terrible avi by any stretch, but I also don't feel it stood out as much as you'd hoped it would. I have no hard feelings toward Chris Brown stans, and I think you have the potential to stand out more than you currently are. Be a bit more calculated in your approach to the competition. After all, it is a competition.

I will put in more effort into the next challenge

Short and sweet with, shall I say for the heck of it cause of the artist, swag? When I first saw your entry and saw you changed your avatar back to the Chris Brown avatar, I was like “oh no, Katie is not going to have it.” I was surprised to read that she turned the other cheek and didn’t judge based on the artist (yes she turned in her comments beforehand and I read them). As for the avatar, it does stand out because of the color Yellow and the word Leggo; that kind of rhymed. I also appreciate the purpose in wanting to change the opinion on some of ATRL’s minds about Chris Brown stans.

Thanks Matty

not you forgetting Kavish and foreshadowing his elimination
well, after seeing I was in the bottom 2, I was prepared to leave. I did not expect my entry to flop so hard and I'm sorry I disappointed the judges. I'll try better next round. honestly though, saying that my avi does not stand out because of its quality, I thought that was a bit harsh. I guess it's my own fault for not addressing that in my entry though.
so sad to see Kavish leave though, I know he could have brought a lot to this competition

At least he'll still win Platinum Hit
