I've been here basically since he posted. I was busy reading a writing some responses.
Speaking of which....

a nice euphemism for bitch. I liked that

Didn't even cross my mind. I said what I did because I'm pretty sure that you've been more active in the thread than any of the other judges, except for maybe Cupid. I'll have to check the post counts.

certainly didn’t need two paragraphs to defend yourself from being written off as a crazed Taylor stan

Before the results to the last round was posted, I had already jotted down a few things I felt that I should address in my speech. I saw it as the last chance I had to address some of the criticisms raised against me. At the time, they were that I was "nothing but a Taylor stan" and that I hadn't had a top call out. Obviously, I ended up getting one of those (and I honestly hadn't been expecting it). Definintely could have
said less, but it felt important that I talk about my reputation as a disciple. Part of that was also discussing the branding challenge--it was definitely the entry I was least pleased with, and I feel like it kinda disadvantaged me early on.

It felt as if you were trying to be the angelic goody-good member that this game tends to reward

I'm not familiar enough with the history of the game to know that a certain type of member tend to be rewarded, and then model myself after them.

This means a lot, especially coming from you, supa.

I've always thought of you as the admirable, yet witty, Taylor Swift stan that always have been quite helpful to many members here.

I put a lot of stock in the idea that "Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind." Glad that it shows.

It has been a great deal of conversation between the community and the judges of how much of a stan you truly are. I just wanted to take the time and be honest that for some reason I felt like the whole paragraph about your Taylor examples being an exaggeration of how ATRL stans a little fake. It felt like you were kind of trying to cover tracks to make yourself look better about those comments in order to win. Whether or not it’s true, I’m expecting a Jake paragraph in response to this like good ol times, I feel like you still need to always take this into consideration.

Nah, you're not getting a paragraph.
You call it "covering your tracks," I call it "offering greater insight into my mindset and posting style." Not too bothered that you think I was "a little fake, fake, fake, fake, fake." But that was nothing but #therealJake Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, so I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off.
i hated that song so much for like 3 years aksksksf
