Round One - Apply Yourself
Welcome, candidates! I have received your rankings of your competitors' applications and I have averaged each of your scores. The winner of this challenge will receive an advantage in the next round, and, as you all know, one of the bottom three will be sent home...
Below each of your names you will find your score and comments on your application. Good luck.

The winner of this challenge is Sub! Congratulations! You've won an advantage in the next challenge.
As you can see, our Bottom Three is Phresh, Miles, and Jessie. Each of you performed with commendable mediocrity, but only one of you will be continuing on to become the next Editor of The Sleaze. Each of your competitors was asked to send in rankings of the applications...Those rankings will determine which of you stays.
To Phresh
You're a mess, and I know it. You had the potential for a hilarious application, but you fell flat. You could really kill this game if you're given a second chance. Overall, your competitors ranked you at 4.2
To Miles
One of the more intellectual members on this site, we were a bit surprised to get such a lackluster application from you. There was no drive, no desire to compete...Maybe you don't want to succeed as badly as we do. Overall, your competitors ranked you at 4.4.
I'm sorry, Miles. You are not the sleaziest on ATRL.
To Jessie
Your application was despised by both of the judges, and you had the lowest score by a wide margin. Based on solely this round, I can see no quantifiable reason to keep you. Overall, your competitors ranked you at 2.8. With that, you knock out Phresh for the last spot to compete to become the next Editor of The Sleaze.
I know you didn't get that ranking for quality. You got it because you blackmailed every bitch in this game. That is the spirit I want to see next round. Bring it.
With tonight's elimination we are down to the Illustrious Eleven. Both of our candidates who left tonight were highly qualified and could have been real threats in this game. I hope that makes each of you realize that you must give your all each time. This is only the beginning. The real challenge starts tomorrow.
A side note: Manny (Billionaire Boy) did not have his application posted, because I did not receive it. Thus, none of you were able to rank his. He would not have been up for elimination either way, so we'll let it pass this first round. Rules for sending in entries will be clarified on the next challenge.
Sleazy as ever,
Citrus

Welcome back, contestants. Last round, we saw Miles and Phresh get the boot after their applications failed to make an impression with both the judges and their other applicants. Many of you noticed your rather lackluster scores last round. Here is your chance to make it better.
This week, you are being given your first story to break: The Copycat.
Nothing gets a headline like an artist "borrowing" from another, and that's what you will be doing today. I've taken the favorite artists each of you submitted with your applications and put them into a randomizer to get a list of pairings. Each of you will be assigned a pairing from that pool. One is your "trendsetter" (the one who is copied), and the other is your "copycat" (the one who copies).
You must prove to the Editors that your copycat is blatantly ripping off your trendsetter, whether they are doing it with music, pictures, text, or any other medium. Some of you stan for irrelevants, have unique taste, so some research may be required. These don't have to be strong comparisons. In fact, the more outrageous, the better. Besides, what is journalism without a little libel, err, artistic interpretation?
Basically: You are writing an article (visual aids encouraged) proving that Artist A copied Artist B.
You may determine who is the Trendsetter and who is the Copycat.
The Pairings
Aaliyah, Katy Perry
Girls Aloud, Miley Cyrus
Britney Spears, Kesha
Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga
Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga
Coldplay, Ariana Grande
Capital Cities, Lana Del Rey
Taylor Swift, Azealia Banks
Lana Del Rey, Paramore
Rihanna, Lorde
Lights, Madison Beer
Bjork, 2NE1
Drake, Kesha
Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj
MIA, No Doubt
Beyonce, Lady Gaga
Now, you may be wondering why only the artists are there. Well, you see, that's where Sub's advantage from winning last round comes in. He gets to assign the pairings, which he must post in the thread within 24 hours. If he does not, he will get a deduction and the pairs will be given randomly.
Your exposures must be sent to me no later than Saturday, July 26th, by 7:00 PM EST.
Sleazy as ever,
Citrus
