I've always wondered about your name...I like it though, it certainly stands out. To be honest, I didn't feel like this entry came across as purely genuine, and even came across as a reach in some regards. I mean, first you said you randomly and intuitively added "jukebox" to your name, but later in the entry you said you chose that because you sucked at technology like microwaves. Which is it? I don't know why I get the disingenuous vibe (and I could be way off) but this just felt a little calculated. I did find your perspective on having the right sounding amount of syllables a unique and interesting thought, however.

I'm sorry I seem insincere. I don't mean to be...I just....I'm sorry.
It's both. It was intuitive, but shortly after entering it in I realized the meaning it had to me. Sorry I should have been less scatterbrained, as Edge pointed out.

Wait, you joined last September? I could've sworn you've been here for like two years+ Well that says a lot about you, in a good way! Anyway, "theoyella jukebox", I don't really like it, not something I personally would have chosen, but there's something about it that makes it memorable. I think this is another case of the poster making his username memorable and recognizable. So that's always a good thing!

It's true! I joined in September last year. 
I lurked for about two years prior though.
I don't know how to make my entries look pretty and presentable, but I'll definitely try harder in that department for later challenges.  as well as being more concise.

I just don't understand.  But I thought about the "K" vs. "k" in the header as well, but felt it was more aesthetically pleasing there with a lowercase instead.  I thought it might be confusing, but in the end I didn't think it'd be a big deal so I went with what made me happy there.
Doc, I would have never guessed you'd prefer the old name, tbh.
Katie.  My "girliness" is just a part of me. It's like my skin color, I can't help it!
It's like my critiques were posted and in sync with the range of hate to love.

It's how I originally know you. Why wouldn't you have guessed?

Edge is such a good judge... and I'm not just saying that because when I messaged one of you (  ) earlier, I said almost exactly the same things. He's like really good

I thought you would have sympathized with the whole leaving the ratchet name thing.
But I guess we have different reasons there.

HERE & HERE
Now it's time to see who is going home!!
11 members stand before me, but only 10 will continue on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
The first member I call has been deemed best of the week and will have their name displayed in my signature until the next judging...
The best entry is...
1) KITT
Either we really need to start judging you more harshly, or you're just doing that well! It feels like, after your smiley challenge, you were like oh hell no. Don't start stressing again about having to maintain this position. Just be you kitten****.

9) THEOYELLA JUKEBOX
Your username is already unique and stands out. Your entry, however, compared to the others, made it less unique. You got overshadowed by a lot of others. You have a unique name, you have to own it when talking about it.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 7.33
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 0
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 1
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Will Diego and Daniel please step forward.
I only have one name typed out in the DarkOrchid font below and that person will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
Diego --- The Struggle. I'm seeing a pattern with you. You have a hard time explaining you. I say that by looking at your average overall rankings with the Branding challenge and this challenge, which are your worst. Personally I would have loved to see attitude in your entry explaining your name 'Attitude'. It felt like you were missing from the entire thing.
Daniel --- You are basically in the same boat as Diego here. However, a comment from a judge caught my eye, it was from Katie. You seemed more invested as the Diary Room last cycle than actually being in the competition this cycle. You are a friendly fun guy, but we haven't seen that much lately. You just keep sinking down.
So who stays?
10) ATTITUDE
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Don't go flopping like Ciara, find your inner Goodies and roll with it.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 8.83
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 0
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 0
ImARudeBoy --- JUDGE AVERAGE: 10.16
DEEMED BEST by COMPETITORS: 0
DEEMED WORST by COMPETITORS: 5
I'm sad to see you go. At this point in the game it continually gets harder to say goodbye to someone. I saw so much top member material in you, I just don't know if you see it yourself. I see big things in your future, just not in the near future. I'll be seeing you in June when Teen Wolf starts though!
Keep an eye out for Matty mail where it'll explain the next challenge!!!
Fierce and Love
- Matty

Happy 5,000 post. 
666 
Am I the only one who is getting increasingly worried every time I send the "submit" button for my entry. I now how to think about everything about my entry, because each judge focuses on different things. Like with my avatar challenge it seemed like it was too overwhelming, so I started to tone my entries down. Then on this challenge everyone popped out these cute layouts and presentations and I was like ****. . Watch I do the most next time and get docked points for that.
But this is top member, so the best of the best is required, so I will deal, and just try to do my best each time. 
Sorry to see you go ImARudeBoy You were cool.
Congrats Kitt.!!!!
