Fun, exciting, giddy, hilarious, and hyper. Those are just a few words that describe our next guest. He enterted this house full of personality and bringing life to this thread. He's full of wit and humor and craziness, lets all applaud Jezang as he comes back to spill his feelings on this cycle!
Oh Jezang, you were my favorite contestant probably, and the one with the most personality, how do you feel about your journey?
Aww thank you! You've done a great job at keeping this cycle active and when you were temporarily banned your absence was noticed (I was also eliminated right before that I think so RIP us both). The thread died momentarily until Jake and Super decided to pick it back up with the help of Scene/Edge/Dylan but yeah you get the point.
I think entering ANTM was a great idea (Cupid recruited me actually). I was originally hesitant on joining any game on ATRL (besides hurt and heal ones which are banned) because I'm really competitive and I hate drama, but I also like parties so I said why not. I think it's always good to try and challenge yourself so that's why I entered. I think that even though I lost early on, I got to learn more about other key members here and that's what this experience is all about. The game section is really underrated but I think it'll get better as time progresses.
Idk if that answers the question but overall I'm pleased with my journey. The good thing about losing early on is that I had nothing else to worry about. Once the weight of winning was off of my shoulders I was able to enjoy the thread as an audience member and not as a stressed out contestant. I was also going through a difficult situation IRL so I was relieved to step back from ATRL and focus on my priorities, y'know?
How do you feel about being clocked out in a double elimination?
I was happy that it was during a double elimination because it meant that I wasn't the only one leaving. lol oops. My goal was to submit something weird but cute and hope for a top call-out, and then see two other contestants leave and secure my place in the finale. I took a BIG risk with my entry and it didn't pay off. I could have submitted something more conventional, but I was in the bottom the week before so I knew that if I played it safe - the judges were probably going to call me out and eliminate me.
Either way I still got got (rip me ff) but you can only try your best and move forward. I was happy that it was a double elimination because misery loves company. I honestly felt targeted a little in the game since it was my second time playing an ATRL game and I'm lowkey one of those paranoid hippies that always think that someone is always out to get me. (The sooner I learn that I'm not that special the better tbqfh).
Once I mellowed out I realized that I was being overly dramatic as per usual. I'm really competitive so I try to avoid the game section for that reason
I do much better at video games since entry judged-based games aren't really my style. I would love to be a judge for a game and I'm not sure about being a contestant again. It depends on if I'm up for the challenge/not busy IRL so I can enjoy myself while competing. "We'll see" teas.
Now I honestly saw you going way farther then you did and even being the dark horse of the competition, were you disappointed in how far you didn’t go?
Definitely. I felt like I had a lot to prove since I talk big but haven't really done much on the forum. It's just the way that I am. I was raised to be confident in yourself and be a leader. I try to balance that out by also being friendly so people can approach me without thinking I'm arrogant or an asshole. Most people have gone through a lot in life and I think the people who really stand out to you are the ones who you respect and admire.
I always wanna be that person to make someone laugh or just genuinely happy because I've met so many amazing people in my life so I know those kind of people exist. Without getting too cheesy, you have to be the difference you want to see in the world and I live by that.
Ogod.. to answer the question, yes I was disappointed in myself at first because I thought that this game would be the game to
truly recognize underrated members. I never get mentioned in the ATRL member awards and I think that I'm really not on a lot of people's radar on here, even though I've participated in almost every section of the forum. I might not socialize as much as others in RT or the Bases, but I'm definitely a positive influence on the forum.
I thought that ANTM would be the chance for me to shine as an underrated member but my entries didn't connect to the judges. And that's fine because I understand in life you can't please everyone. After my experience with PH, I was hoping that this particular game being the "game you want to be in" was different. After my experience competing, it felt like it was really up to chance where you'd place. Or maybe there was a strategy to this that I wasn't aware of.
I don't blame anyone for losing. Not the judges nor myself. I'm proud of my entries despite them not being a fan-favorite because they remain true to who I am (and if you say trash you're WRONG) lol. I did my best and that's all that I could ask for, really.
Now honestly, that octopus was ugly, what were you thinking girl?
Okay let's be real here. If Athens were to make an announcement tomorrow saying that he was adding it as a new smiley:
everyone on this forum would bandwagon it and say:
"omg it's so weird why Athens?! What is it?!"
"Can you add [insert dozens of new smilies] please!!"
And then within that same day everyone on the forum would start using it. I think because none of us really had time to apply our entries on the forum, we never got to see which ones are actual trends or not.
If you look back at the entries for that round I still don't believe that I should have been eliminated. I thought at worst I would be near the bottom - but I was so sure I was going to be safe. HOWEVER, I do believe that everything happens for a reason and like I said, I was going through a difficult time IRL so it was honestly a blessing in disguise that I was eliminated.
I was able to play for a little, learn something, and then grow from it. Plus all of the challenges after that one were pretty difficult and I don't think I would have done well anyways. I do better with text-based entries and not graphics.
You have an amazing persona and presence and bring something light and fun, is this the last we are gonna see of Jezang?
Definitely not. I like it here too much to ever just leave. I might dip in activity if I'm too tired to log on but otherwise I'll always pop in every now and then to check up on this place.
probably after Con and Swizz
