Before we get into the entries themselves, we all must say goodbye to one your fellow contestants:
JustLuke
I'm just making it more obvious he's out because he stated so in the thread 
Challenge #5 Entries
Challenge description
This is only the part that talks about why y'all want to be in the competition. The Full entry with some possible dragging is to be sent to the judges only, as mentioned in the challenge description
 Bloomers Entry
Round 5
Endurance, it’s not just the name of Element’s (very fun) ATRL game I lost, it also describes my greatest strength in any competition. As a contestant and person, I can be put through the wringer and I will still fight to bounce back to the best of my ability even when the odds are against me; I will give any competition my all but also, most importantly, I will still have fun while doing so. I may not have outright dominated the past couple rounds of I Love Money 3, but I believe that I have consistently performed well across the challenges that we have had so far. At my core, I’m a team player and will do anything to support my team or people I believe in and I believe that I've worked hard enough to move on; in the game so far, that included reaching near expert status at the Pendulum game to try and save my team from inevitably losing the challenge; desperately attempting to make myself useful and contribute in our first challenge to take some of the burden off of the much more talented Element, Era, and Citrus; or even cold-calling random members and advertising in my YTT thread and signature for votes in the third challenge (I’m pretty self-conscious and don’t like to call much attention to myself or ask people for things, so that was a pretty difficult challenge in particular).
If I move forward, I will continue to take on any challenge and fight each and every round; but I’ll also have fun while playing too since that’s been my main goal in the competition (besides winning the cash prize that is  ) GotSkill Entry
I deserve to stay here because I'm an active member of this game. Even if I "forget" to vote who leaves (aka I don't want to vote against my teammates  ) I always participate in the challenges and try to take charge when possible. Especially when playing games I make sure to encourage everyone to keep trying. During this past challenge I was the first contestant to submit. I always check in to the thread every day and try to post to keep it alive when I can. Bey_Rihstan Entry
Why do I deserve to be here? Because I want it. As I said in my app, this is one of the first games I saw before joining and I wanted to take part in it. It'd be wonderful to have it be my first actual victory. Outside of challenge 2, I've at least attempted each challenge and not just ignore the game. I believe I've won each challenge (as a part of the gold team) & I've eliminated one of the biggest competitors in the game. That's what I've accomplished. Think of the merger as a comeback. I'm ready to slay & snatch weaves from the others.
Citrus Entry
Dear Judges of I Love Money 3,
Hi, my name is Citrus. I’m repeating it because you may have forgotten since I failed to submit on time this last challenge. I’d like to start off by owning up and apologizing for that. Luckily for me, my team picked up where I slacked off and still killed it. However, I don’t plan on being a loser anymore, which is why I’m typing this in the middle of finals week at 12:17 AM (Disclaimer: All income loss as a result of bad exam scores will be billed to Celebrate).
Now, with that misstep of mine acknowledged, let’s move on to my favorite part: the good parts about me! Oh, I shouldn’t say that. I probably sound really arrogant. But then, it’s hard not to be arrogant when your team has won 75% of the challenges. As the first team captain, I couldn’t be more proud of the group I assembled (plus our housekeeper DripDrip) to systematically slay this competition. Just look at the results to the Team Thread Campaign: three of the top scorers were from my team. I was 2nd, of course (to a certain Element who had to PM over 50 people while I only PM’d 20, but that’s another story for another day  ).
I deserve to stay in this competition because I have been a consistently strong player, placing 1st or 2nd among my team in every challenge aside from the last one. In addition to this, I have done a good job of leading the Gold Team both officially and unofficially in the thread and the Gold Blog. We have much fewer replies and views than the Green Blog, which just speaks to how quickly and efficiently we are able to get things done. I deserve the judges’ support in these post-merger rounds because I have been a team player this entire game and still done well individually; just wait until I’m on my own. ReachOut Entry
ReachOut
An essay again, i've never written so much essays in my whole life like int this game, so starting from this i shouldn't be eliminated.
But lemme explain you holes why i deserve to be made, at least, the final.
First of all i'm one of the most active players in here - and the whole games section - so imagine the boredom and the lack of interests (and comments) in the game thread!
Why would you (Zune) and the judges want to let this game flop? Everyone will come for you and your wigs 
Then look at what i've acclompished, oh well maybe it's not the case since my team flopped hard in the first rounds, but i've managed to make the best scores in the last few rounds and in the last one i was robbed by the host  because he hadn't informed me in time that one of my entries was invalid otherwise i would have slayed last round to be honest 
Don't be fooled by the last round, when i didn't submit my vaults, it was an holiday weekend here in Italy and, as i've already said, i hadn't much time for ATRL and in general the net… Thank God Hilary decided to stay true to herself and do nothing to promote "Sparks" so i didn't miss anything.
To go back on topic i don't know what to say and i have to admit that i'm counting down the words and i'm quite impressed - take note that i'm not English so if there are some big mistakes i'm sorry  -

Era Entry
I think the judges should root for me as I’ve participated in all the 4 rounds so far and gave it my best. I also sent the required PMs and even did the short tasks before the rounds started in time. In the first round I contributed a lot and designed the poster for my team and also helped with all the other tasks. In the second round I was out of town due to personal reasons and I came home 12 minutes before the deadline yet submitted the task just a few minutes after the deadline (but unfortunately it wasn’t accepted) and when it was our team’s turn for elimination I sent in the required number of names in time as asked. In the third task I scored the third most points overall when I don’t even have many real ‘friends’ on atrl + I’m unknown and not that relevant but I did my best to promote our team as good as I could. In the fourth round I submitted late but still in time and scored enough points for my team as well. I have given this game all the attention it needs and never ignored Celebrate's PMs nor the tasks I was supposed to do.
Element Entry
The Element of Money
I definitely deserve to make it to the next round of ILM3, as I have been one of the most active and dedicated contestants in the game. Each round, I have worked extremely hard in the challenges. In the Team Branding challenge, I was constantly talking with my team in our private blog, in order to make sure that we were united. Era and I guided the aesthetic of our team's branding, as I made the initial suggestion to use gold foil as the key design element. My golden avis were polarizing -- some loved them, some didn't. Ultimately, a bit of controversy can spice life up, right? In the second round, my team failed, but I avoided being placed in the vault because of my activity level and due to the positive social connections that I had formed earlier. The third challenge is where I ignited my fire, and brought my passion for the game to the next level. I wanted the Gold Team to epically rebound from its failure, so I utilized my ATRL connections extremely well in order to excel at the Thread Campaign challenge. I contacted 100+ ATRL members, via PM, and in threads I frequent (like Ellie Goulding's base), in order to ensure that the Gold Team would win this challenge. Indeed we did, and I was the highest individual scorer! This was an extremely exciting moment for me, and I earned an immunity for my efforts. I think the response I received from ATRL really reflects how many awesome friendships and contacts I have made here, and I am exceptionally honored that so many users were willing to do me such a huge favor! Gold Team's morale was lifted following our huge campaign success, and we made sure to fight hard in the next challenge! I scoured Wikipedia for obscure, pointless answers in the fourth challenge, and once again, my efforts paid off immensely. I had the most pointless answers and the best score. Once again, I gave a strong performance to put me in a front-runner position as the merge approaches. I've had a huge burst of momentum in this competition, and I am very excited to see what the merge will entail. I am confident that I will do well in the remaining challenges, and I'm here to fight for that ultimate victory! My school semester is ending in a few days, too, so I will have more time to dedicate to this game in the merge phase. Overall, I have been one of the strongest, most devoted contestants, and I will ensure this will continue!

Zune can you edit in the last sentence or two from my portion about the others? It makes my ending stronger.
