I thought of that, too Hype. Every time Vespertine came second, you won. Every time Marq came second, I won.

R.I.P. Element 
Really getting down to The Wire (just imagine I linked Haim if I weren't on morbileh) now, I guess someone has to go even though it's lame.
I have no idea what challenges are left

It would be HILARIOUS if Matty forgot about those, and my post just reminded him, impacting him into making it the challenge!

Welcome girls to a QNN Recap report on this weeks episode of ATRL's Next Top Member!
This week the girls were challenged to come up with new challenge ideas and present them to the judges. Most contestants did average but on the runway Matty asked a serious question: Who has the least and who has the most potential to me ATRL's Next Top Superstar!
Drama quickly arose as long time friends iHype and Vespertine clashed with resident gays Element and Citrus. Vespertine was quoted as calling Citrus a white twink who is basic! The drama escalated when Element stormed off stage.
Citrus being able to bring Element back on stage where he let out a very moving speech. Sadly that wasn't enough because he ended up in the bottom two having to post for his life against Marq (who for the most part just stood in the corner rolling his eyes at the other four contestants for their feuding).
Sadly Element went home to some tears, and back at the house the drama escalated with the houses janitors Subomie and Cupid clashed again with iHype! iHype not letting this phase his new win, just did cocaine in his room with Vespertine to cope.
What's in store next week!

That was quite a ride, and it is sad that I have to get off right before the end! However, I can not complain AT ALL with coming in fifth place. That is a huge deal, especially given my bizarre roller-coaster chart run in this competition. All five of us are awesome members, and I am honored to have made it so far with them -- they all deserve a slot in the next round, for sure! In retrospect, I can't believe that I made it this far. I signed up at the last minute due to Matty's infamous delays... basically on a whim. I wanted to watch this season, and join the next one, but clearly something drew me to sign up for cycle 12. Once the game started, I was convinced that my time would be coming to an end quickly. There were quite a few rounds in the middle of the competition where I would message Citrus, and be like, "OMG it's my time. I'm doomed  "... In the earlier rounds, something was not clicking with me for some reason. I think I was content with skating by in the middle, and not really pushing myself to the next level. When I was the last to be called safe in round 6, I was convinced it was my time to go. However, you can't let the environment take you down, and instead you have to rise like a phoenix, and spark a fire in your heart. Being in the bottom two absolutely pushed me to approach this competition from a different angle, and I am incredibly proud of my entries in the past three rounds. My GIF still gives me a chuckle, my smiley is a little creation I am proud of (and have seen a little bit around the forum), and my musicality entry is probably my formatting apex (I like the story too!). This round, I was pleased with my challenge idea, but unfortunately it fell a little flat; in a competition so close, any little thing can affect the results.
Thank you to all of the judges for your constructive feedback each round that has pushed me to excel and grow. I really appreciate all of your hard work. Of course, this speech would not be complete without thanking Matty. I am so grateful for your dedication to this competition, and it is a testament of your hard work and passion that this game has grown to be such a juggernaut. You are an awesome person, and I am honored to be referred to as "the new Matty" in the Games section. Thank you for your support and mentorship!
Thank you to the public and my fellow cast members for your strange commentary since day one. I didn't realize some of my entries would be so controversial, but all of the comments -- positive and negative -- helped me learn and grow, so I am extremely thankful for each and every one of them.
All in all, this experience was incredible, and it truly is not an ending, but the beginning of a new phase of my membership on this forum -- who knows what will be in my future here? In addition to evolving as a member on this site, I believe the rigors and introspection offered in this competition will allow me to grow in real life. 2014 was a bleak year, and I personally felt like I was losing my sense of direction. I am in college, but I am really unsure of my major selection and potential career path. Some really burdensome events happened in 2014 too, and I had to take on a lot more adult responsibilities and stresses. I do have to wonder if some of my baggage from 2014 carried into my mediocre earlier entries here. Anyway, my rebound in this competition fills me with optimism and excitement for this new year. I think that 2015 will be a positive and fulfilling year, and hopefully I will establish my future path more, as I establish myself further on this forum. I will maintain that enthusiasm, and if I learned one thing more than anything else: I should always be unabashedly me, regardless of what others think.
I am really excited to see how this plays out! Good luck to all four of you. May the elements be with you!  (I know this Element will be perched in this thread.)
Much love,
Element

Wow, iHype. won? Interesting.
Shocked and devastated to see Element go. He blew me away these past few weeks and was currently sitting in my ideal finale. I always love when members just emerge during a cycle, and he made quite an impression. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, your hilarious presence in this thread, and your beautiful goodbye speech, Element.
