Let me just make ANTM Cycle 12 the cycle of uglee... meaning no one will format their entries. They will have to have their entries solely do the talking, no hiding being the glitz and the glam.
Controversial doesn't begin to describe our next contestant, a stand out from the beginning and one who could have taken it all home but due to some issues was eliminated from the game, please welcome Mimilamb!
You were probably my first pick to be in the finale, and I honestly thought you were going to go all the way, are you disappointed in how it all went down?
Anything that isn't a win is a disappointment
Do you think you could have won?
Yes definitely
Now we all want to know, why did you submit so late?
It was a hard challenge for me because like I said in my app, I struggle with writing about myself. I know that's not an excuse but it's what happened
Are you really a woman?
These bloody tampons don't lie sis
Do you consider yourself the Carmen Carrera of Top Member?
I don't know him. I'd say I'm the Jennifer Hudson of the competish.
Now this is a very important question, and I want you to take this seriously. Do you have anything you would like to plug or promote?
Go watch X-Men: Days Of Future Past and Maleficent y'all
Do you think your elimination was fair and justified?

I assume this isn't really serious, but this formatting/b=10 = hiding has come up a few times, and I never thought that the formatting hid anyone from having their content be judged. It was very rare that formatting was brought up by judges, and little or badly formatted layouts didn't stop someone from being near or at the top at any point if the entry was good. This a huge difference from last cycle and all of the ones before. [Let's call that the Domino effect that gave rise to the anti-formatting movement. ]
Formatting just makes it fun for the contestants, it's rewarding to make something look nice and keeps coming up as to why people want to rejoin or joined.
Top Member always brings in new people to the games section from all over the forum, and this next contestant is proof of that. A hidden gem in the competition who despite keeping it quiet made a big impact, please welcome Sam Jay! (get your reading glasses out)
So, I have to say I didn't expect you to make it this far, but you had pulled some fantastic entries, and I think surprised us all with how well you did. Are you proud of where you ended up?
First of all, I'll take that as a compliment. It shows me that I was underestimated, which I certainly don't consider a bad thing . I am proud of where I ended up. Obviously I was in it to win it, but from around the third week in I realised that this was actually going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be initially. As I've said before, ANTM was suggested to me by collin, as he thought I may enjoy it. Before ANTM, I hadn't had any experience with the Games section, which I feel definitely was a disadvantage for me. So yeah, coming fifth place against such tough competition with a lot more experience than me in that area, I was pretty satisfied.
Do you ever feel like you got lost with all the big personalities in the house?
At times, yes. For quite a while I was one of the least active in the ANTM thread itself, which may have made me slip under the radar a little despite my initial high rankings. Initially I found it hard to connect to the others since most of them already knew each other and I was one of the few newbies who didn't really know anyone at all. As the tournament went on however, I felt that I came into my own, and my personality was definitely up there with the big boys, so to speak.
No T, No Shade, but how would you have felt if Mimi got to stay despite her not submitting anything that week, since you were in the bottom with her?
I definitely would have felt hard done by. Looking back my entry was definitely the worst of the bunch, but at least I managed to get something up. I feel that above anything else, commitment is absolutely necessary in order to be a top member, and to be allowed to progress missing a deadline over somebody else who had put something up wouldn't be in the true spirit of ANTM, in my opinion. I also feel as if my back catalogue wasn't particularly weaker than MiMi's anyway.
Now I know this is on some people's minds, and I'm going to ask Huga the same question. How do you feel your placement would have been differently if Mimi and Jax stuck around?
There's no doubt in my mind that if the mess that went on that challenge didn't go down, I'd have been eliminated in seventh place. Not only was my entry labelled the weakest, our of the five that were judged, the negative comments that related to mine would've have related to Jax's or MiMi's. I really missed the mark on that one. Likewise, I wasn't deemed to have Top Member potential by the three special judges, so I would have been out either way. I will say though, assuming I had the worst Music Taste entry and Jax and MiMi received at least one favourable comment from the three special judges, MMMinaj was also deemed to not have Top Member qualities and may have been eliminated in that double elimination if it wasn't for Jax's ban and MiMi's failure to submit, and he ended up winning the whole tournament. I guess some things do happen for a reason.
Any last words?
Finally, I really enjoyed my experience on ANTM. I learned a lot about myself as a member, but more importantly, I learned a lot about myself as a person. I'd like to think that I do still have Top Member potential and I will continue to work and craft myself as a member, but this certainly won't be the last you'll see of Sam Jay. Perhaps not next cycle, but I do plan on going for the title another time. As I said, I came to win, and this was just a little speed bump on the way to the top.
Next up we interview the elusive Cycle 10 runner-up chanteuse TheSeenScene. We find out how he feels about DOMINO requesting a permaban after taking the rightful crown away from him, and how life has treated him post Top Member.
Hey hunTy gorl'T diva yes gawd, what did you think of this cycle?
It was interesting to watch from the sidelines rather than compete this time around; as a frequent visitor to the Top Member house I can say this was a great cast but I felt some didn't live up to their true potential.
Did you want to compete again?
Not on this cycle; I'm still patiently waiting for All-Stars to be announced.
How do you feel about DOMINO permabanning himself?
I'll just say that I'm glad he did what he felt was best, but I lowkey wish he would have done it last cycle so I could have won the crown.
How has life on ATRL been since last cycle?
I've kind of taken a backseat since then. I did sign up for Big Brother but those girls and gays were intimidated and snatched my wig. I'm not in any games at the moment and don't see myself taking part in any until the Fall.
Lastly, what's next for you?
I'm going on a cross-country promotional tour for Adore Delano's iconic new album, Till Death Do Us Party, which is available on iTunes now.

I know, I'm just kind of being overdramatic
People keep talking about the formatting when I have never stated, sometimes I do, that you have to format your entries. People take that upon themselves due to seeing what others have done in the past. Is formatting nice, yes it makes things esthetically pleasing for the eye. Is it necessary, no not at all. As judges we look at your actually entries and if you happen to display it nicely we may give you extra props, but nothing was ever solely decided just because of presentation.
Cause you're right about the 'little or badly formatted layouts didn't stop someone from being near or at the top'... cause didn't Minaj get a top call out for his rushed submission and didn't go all out?

Messy at me using someone (which looks shady af, when it really wasn't meant at anyone, and if it was, it wasn't MMM) when I meant anyone.
