ATRL's Next TOP MEMBER Cycle 10 | Most/Lest Potential!!!
SPECIAL EVENT
MOST/LEAST TOP MEMBER POTENTIAL
WHAT YA'LL SAID

Most potential:
In all honesty, I have to say that it’s me who has the most potential. Why? Because I have consistently had one of the best entries (judging by the rankings). Out of everyone who is left in the competition I'm the only one who has been called first twice and I have the best average.
But even without these receipts I think I have the most potential. I can grow more and more and this competition always makes me want to work harder. I get along with everyone even when there were misunderstandings sometimes. I got back on track and managed to maintain a nice relationship with everyone.
Least potential:
I hate this part. I really do. Will I say the one with the lowest average? Or will I say what I personally think?
I will not go with the lowest average because that person’s peak can be stronger than most people’s peak here.
I unfortunately have to go with my good sis Citrus on this one. And I really don’t like to do this because I have witnessed how much you grew over the weeks. But something in your entries is lacking for me. Sometimes I like them sometimes not so much. But they never wow’ed me. I think you’re a nice guy and you’re doing so well despite being so new to ATRL. But maybe it’s exactly that - you’re new. I really am sorry to do this, buddy. |

Most Potential:
As much as I like the rest of these gurls (And yes, somehow each one of them has managed to grow on me.  ), I definitely have the most potential. I’m a newer member here (and the youngest in this game, sorry Katie  ), which I think has both helped and hindered me. I’ll be the first to say that I’m not perfect by any means. My banner for this challenge was whack because I didn’t feather my edges the way I normally do, which threw some of the letters off. I tend to insert too much humor and sometimes it takes away from the entry. I can also be a little on the messy side because I tend to have to rush my layouts. But I realize that and am working to go above and beyond it. Matty said it the best:

Least Potential:
If it hadn’t been for this round, I would’ve said Funky right away. Hopefully lightning strikes more than once for him.
Now, however, I’d have to say Nicki. That surprises me, since I thought he’d be sweeping this competition Kitt-style since the first challenges. My biggest concern is that he doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp of self-criticism. Each week I read comments like, “Coming for that #1 spot!”, which would be fine if it was true. Being able to note the flaws in your entry before you submit is key to this competition. Unfortunately, that’s something I just haven’t seen, especially in the last few weeks. I think he has potential, but I don’t think it’s as the winner of this cycle. It pains me to say that, since Nicki was one of the two I wanted to be in the Top Three with at the beginning. I think he could slay another cycle if he took some time and figured things out. |

Most Potential
I believe that I have the most potential to be a Top Member. Despite my slip-up during the branding challenge, I have shown through my entries and my improvement in rankings that I am here to win and represent both this competition, and ATRL as a whole, as the newest Top Member.
Least Potential
I hate to say this because I really like them, but I feel like Citrus has the least potential. I haven't seen any true shining moments from him and for most of the challenges he has stayed near the middle of the pack.

MOST TOP MEMBER POTENTIAL:
Nicki
Nicki has already proven herself to be a top member. She is recognized widely on ATRL, notably in the games section. Nicki also takes risks. Some of her entries may not be the best, but they stick out. Her personality just sticks out in all the challenges. She isn't afraid to go outside the cookie-cut- shaped formula. She isn't afraid to take that extra leap of faith to try to set the bar high. Her getting eliminated just proves how you sometimes have to fall/ hit rock bottom before you're able to rise to the top. She came back with a vengeance and isn't going anywhere soon.
LEAST TOP MEMBER POTENTIAL:
DOMINO
Everything just seems manufactured. I feel as though he just hides behind his pretty entries and hopes that adds bonus points. Yes, he took chances with advanced formatting, but formatting isn't all that. Like I mentioned before: "The most beautiful cake looks good, but it may taste like ****. What are you going to do with a pretty cake that is essentially ****." He doesn't take real chances. Another example is the last challenge- the musical journey. It's like he's trying to fit in this perfect mold. Also, it may be a time zone thing; but him being the first person to submit his entry is another thing. Him rushing doesn't allow him to take his time, which hinders the ability to produce an amazing entry. Just take a chance; allow more than 24 hours to pass before submitting. An amazing idea may strike when you least expect it. Another thing is, I see him blending in with the rest of ATRL. His entries just scream "LOOK AT ME!" I need to see him in his entries.

1) Who has the most top member potential and why? I feel like Avery has the most potential to be a top member because he knows exactly who he is. He has an individual sense of humor and posting style that is unique and immediately recognizable. The other contestants haven't been able to carve out their lane as well as him.
2) Who has the least top member potential and why? Nicki. He was already eliminated once and continues to submit lackluster entries. I know he has potential deep inside, but he's having trouble channeling it into creating exceptional entries.

Most Potential- DOMINO, Has exemplified extraordinary Top Member qualities. Most entries have showed this. Shows consistency and always does their best.
Least Potential- Citrus, Being a new member, they have not had the time to really find themselves yet. Their entries have been pretty similar throughout the competition and I really see no growth. Just plateauing to be honest.

Fierce and Love

Aww thank you Nicki Minaj. 
That was very unexpected Funky. You really dragged me a bit.
I thought someone else would have said that I have the least potential.

OMG WAIT
Funky you sound really pressed now that I have read it again.
You could have said it much nicer. I really tried to compliment the one who I think has the least potential because I really think every single one of us deserves to be here.
When I translate your text it says you hate me and I don't deserve to be here.
What kind of ****ery.
And the reason why I submit first is because I don't have time otherwise. I have full days at uni. And when I come back home at night I am tired.
So I submit them early in the morning.
Anyway lemme keep it cute.

I always had the lowest contestant average, so this isn't that surprising, tbh.

Nope. I don't say I'm going to reveal them so you'd think I won't reveal them and get your true intentions out. Then I go ahead and post them 
But you could have saw last cycle and I posted theirs

Now sis...
#1- Least top member potential doesn't mean none at all. It was hard to choose because everyone here has top member potential. Don't read into it THAT much.
#2- In regards to you submitting first, I mentioned how I didn't know I didn't know if it was a time zone thing or not. Now that you replied I now understand. Most of us here are in college. I understand sis, don't be a dragon and breath fire at me 
#3- Sis you know I'm the least pressed person, let's calm down. And like I just said, I thought these rankings would be anonymous/ private

Sis you are great!
And I am the only one who spoke directly to you because I don't like talking behind people's backs.
