Choose-Your-Own: Oh, story! My personal favorite. I also really liked how you made it like a choose-your-own adventure type of entry, which allows each of the songs to shine in the story, without necessarily having to relate to one-another. This is another entry that shows your unique way of approaching challenges, and I really enjoyed it!
Testament: I've always felt that you were a front-runner in this competition, and you're definitely proof that judges don't have to think your songs are "good sis bopS!!" to think they form a cohesive, enjoyable entry. You knew from the start that choosing accurate songs were better than choosing songs that you thought the judges would like, and you combined that with a style that became easily idenfifiable as time went on. I enjoyed seeing your entries this season, and I think the 3 entries you chose to represent yourself were very well-rounded, and perfectly suited for making your case. Thank you for playing this season!
lovesong:
Choose-Your-Own: Choosing your own Create-a-Trinity for this round was definitely inventive! I also think this was a much better version of the "Playlist" idea, maybe because it's more out there. I like how the end of the "playlist" kinda calms everything down.
Testament: I think everyone could see that you were a threat in this game, and I personally appreciated your approach to entries. You kept things consice without expecting the songs to carry themselves, which is a fine line many people get wrong. You, however, did it just right. I think the entries you chose showcased this very well - the scene one, in particular. There wasn't much of a write-up, but you used what you did write to a great effect. You had some of the most out-of-the-box entries, and that's why you're here now. Thank you for playing this (and last hihi) season!
A Bomb:
Choose-Your-Own: You better drag the bad sis Summer! The heat is not the tea, despite not being able to spell heat without tea. I liked the part about Brawlhalla.
Testament: Everyone knows it'd be a crime if you didn't get a Trinity placement, and I don't even need to tell you that. Anything I could say here, you already knew...but I'm glad you didn't quit this time. Thank you for playing this season!
Xedretinz Lododnz:
Choose-Your-Own: There's a lot you could have done without here: we really didn't need the definition and connotations of "dark", for example. Also, although it was cute, the part with the judges wasn't entirely needed, either! I don't really know how to feel about the trinity you chose, but it's evident you had a lot of fun with it. 
Testament Trinity: You definitely have the underdog appeal going for you here. A lesser-known fact: your "Character" trinity is one of my favorites of the whole season. You really nailed that challenge. Kinda wish I gave you the #1 in hindsight. You got first place that time anyway, so it doesn't matter too much! I also think it was good that you chose your comeback trinity, because you wouldn't be here without it! That definitely counts for something. Thank you for playing this season!
Prismatic:
Choose-Your-Own: Bitch.  You seemed to have a lot of fun with this trinity, and it kinda makes me wonder why we got rid of the Story trinity to begin with. I think if we had a good mix of serious and light-hearted prompts, anybody could make a great trinity and we could have a really fun experience with it. I expected Perrie to be Katy, but I'm thinking that's what you wanted. Loved the twist!
Testament: Your Illuminati trinity. Figh Song is like one of the most iconic parts of the whole game.  I think being a late bloomer is much better than being strong in the beginning and fizzling out, and you being here, in my opinion, is a good testament of that. I'm really glad you deviated from your typical style a bit later on, because it did wonders. Thank you for playing this season! |

CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-TRINITY - I always love the story trinity so it's a smart choice that you picked it. I like how you chose a sort of an interactive story. Like the reader can choose from 3 options and each ones have different endings. I feel like this is the perfect finale trinity of you, because it represents you as a contestant. Witty, a great writer and unique music choices. And especially in this trinity, I think this have been your strongest music choices. Because of the songs I feel like I am in a rollercoaster. I also loved the story that came on in the third 'choice', very funny. You not only made a great trinity, you also made a great twist to the story trinity, very admirable.
TESTAMENT - The fact that your non-music trinity has a rhyming scheme to it, tells me what a great trinitymaker you were. You're a creative mind and you proved yourself over and over. The fact that you got to the GT so many times is very impressive. I can't say that the graphics of your non-music trinity are outstanding enough to guarantee you a place in the final GT, but you summed up some great things and I feel very convinced. A decent Testament trinity.
Lovesong - Congratulations for finally reaching the finale, especially after the mess that happened around you last season  !
CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-TRINITY - I'm a bit confused. Is the trinity you chose the Create-Your-Own-Trinity -or- the one that you made for that challenge? Like has it ever existed before?
I feel like you could've done a bit better with this trinity tbh  . I feel like in this final trinity you should really show of as much sides of you as possible, like your humor, your creativity, your aesthetics, your unique twist on things and great song choices. I feel like you had decent song choices and the aesthetics were okay, but it didn't really impress me. And even if you wanted to use trippy songs, I feel like you could've brought this MUCH further. Like combine them together, or categorize them. I wouldn't say it is a very bad trinity, because I'm probably nitpicking atm, I just feel like you could've done more and better.
TESTAMENT - Your testament is really well-written, and your Illuminati trinity was one of my favorites of this season. I like the reasoning behind the choice of the scene trinity & the create-your-own trinity. All 3 entries you picked are incredible trinities and if you compare this to your entries last season (which were also great but..) you can note that you have grown so much. I always really looked forward to reading your entries, so you definitely have a chance. In the ending your beginning to doubt yourself a bit, like sure there are really strong players, but this is not their testament. Maybe it shows how nice of a person you are, but it's really not needed, it had to be all about you. And I can tell you: throughout the season you did an amazing job 
A Bomb - Thank you A Bomb for not quitting this time around . Congratulations on making it to the final 
CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-TRINITY - A seasons trinity is a great choice. I feel like you could've brought another twist to the seasons trinity, but honestly I'm just looking now for minor mistakes. Your music choices are songs that I wouldn't want to listen to, but they work so well for your entry. In my opinion, these are one the strongest song choices you have had throughout this season. The thing you do so well is not using aesthetics for the sake of it being pretty, but also really giving it a function in your trinity. It really creates an atmosphere and really supports your trinity. You also had written this very well, with slight humoristic undertones. I really liked that.
TESTAMENT - these graphics in this testament are really the most beautiful thing I have ever seen this whole season, like I'm ****ing snatched
Your illuminati trinity was a great pick, it was one of the strongest rounds of this season, and yet you still excelled like crazy. You brought a unique, funny and original twist to it and it was an amazing entry which I really enjoyed.
I was almost scared, like what if you didn't pick the scene. trinity . Not going to lie or anything but this had to be best entry of the competition, for me at least. The Mr. Sandman choice is just an outstanding pick imo and you had a great and unique twist to that challenge.
I never knew that your own life inspired you to do that Monotrinity, which makes it a great choice for testament. You seem like a humble person and out of all your trinities, you picked the right ones imo.
Xedretinz Lododnz - After getting eliminated in round 2, and now standing in the finale stronger than ever is very impressive , congrats!
CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-TRINITY - We had this trinity once? Neat. I would like to do it too sometime. I liked the intro that you had, because it had some funny parts, but it dragged on for a bit too long. When your trinity actually starts, you are nailing it. The story now is really interesting and captivating to read. The story you made with this, is indeed, very dark. I am not really fond of your second song choice, like I feel there are much better picks for this one. The ending twist, and the ending in general are funny, creative, unexpected and very XL . You made a few minor mistakes, but overall, you delivered a hella good trinity.
TESTAMENT -

I know this was not meant to be funny but I cackled a bit . Reading this testament trinity makes me like you even more. I feel like you were smart for emphasizing on the growth part and choosing the Scene trinity was a very good choice, because that entry was amazing. I also found it lowkey emotional at times, like the reasoning of the Time Trinity  . Going back to round 2, you didn't really deliver, lbr. But when I saw you were the eliminated one, I was a bit shocked because I thought you had the potential to grow and reach the finale. And here we are. You did a great job of convincing me, but you also made me like you even more 
Prismatic rip fidel - Welcome to the finaly Prismy, congratulations
CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-TRINITY - Ohhhh another story trinity . Good thing for you that I really enjoy these trinities
This entry is very funny, maybe your funniest one yet . This whole trinity is very lighthearted. Like I probably would pick a more depressing one for the first chapter, but after hearing it, it isn't really a bad pick at all. Stand By Me is one of my favorite all-time classics, so I was so happy that you included it . The story is a bordering sometimes on messy, but more of an enjoyable messy (if that makes any sense idk  ). I really wonder how you got the inspiration of this trinity . I love a light-hearted entry and you gave me a really good one.
TESTAMENT - You chose 3 great trinities, and oh wait, the Illuminati trinity again. My finale impact from last season remains too real  . You said in the beginning of this testament that your entries 'sucked', but I wouldn't necessarily say that. They were a bit of the same, but the were decent (though after a while repetitive). I like how you opted for a real grower in the final GT, it reminds me a lot of me from last season. I also felt like a late bloomer and I am so glad that my first few entries were just ok, so I could learn even more. You also learned a lot, especially after seeing your finale trinities. I feel like you really convinced me

Choose-Your-Own:
Chill Bill - You're really creative, I enjoy having a story to read with many of your entries, it captures and keeps my attention more easily than just a standard entry. I loved your song choices for this too, they're also creative  oh and I'd probably choose the neither option because I'm boring.
lovesong - Your entry is so cohesive, the song choices take me on a trippy journey, like I just licked a frog and I'm seeing everything in tie-dye vision.
A Bomb - Props for picking a Bananarama song I stan Cruel Summer. Your entry did a really good job of creating the summer setting you were going for, the details and the way you described each part really slayed me.
Xedretinz Lododnz - I agree with judge #2 about darkness, I always think of Michael Myers from Halloween I think you could have done without all the descriptions of certain words like I guess its for emphasis but it could have been less wordy Your story was really dark though, in all sorts of ways I appreciate all the twists and turns but I feel I got lost in the darkness at times Mad World was your best song choice.
Prismatic - I can't @ your messy story, its a good mess though, funny & interesting. Your song choices were also interesting Thompson Twins  IDK I feel like this is weird and different from what you usually do, but cute overall.
-------------------------------------
Testament:
A Bomb - I feel you have been the best overall throughout the whole competition. Your entries have been visually interesting and the most creative, for me anyway. You obviously worked hard but you made it look effortless, I always looked forward to what you were bringing to the table the most.
lovesong - I feel there is like an air of sophistication and intelligence around your entries when I look back at them. Your graphics sometimes were kind of powerpointy but they added to the overall charm I guess, now that I'm looking back.
Chill Bill - I felt like at times you were an underdog in this competition but then other times you did so well that I felt like you were more of a frontrunner than an underdog but either way, I've enjoyed all the creative ways you represented himself in these entries and the season wouldn't have been the same without you.
Prismatic - I feel like you were kind of the heart of the competition and that's my favorite part of your entries; you tried your best and you made it to the finals. Even though you never had that one shining best entry that could have pushed you to the top, for me anyway, but you were very consistent throughout the competition.
XL - You are the comeback story of the competition, having rightfully earned your place back into the game and delivering solid results ever since. There were ups and downs but overall I'm glad you made it to the finals, you have your own unique voice that clearly showed in your entries, but I feel maybe if you could just condense your thoughts a little more next season it feels like you had a lot of long paragraphs |
Real quick reminder: Choose-Your-Own was worth 30%. "Testament" (more of a vote for the winner) was worth 20%. Read through your judging!!
The first winner will be announced in ten minutes! (Please post so this game doesn't look sad hihi)

Thanks judges!
I went with the Trippy but I wanted to give it a qt twist and use a playlist format. I'm glad you all appreciated the Testament though.

Aww I love y'all three. Thank you for the wonderful judging this season.
I thought my entry will be dragged tbh, cause I just wrote down whatever ******** that came to mind. Perrie was indeed supposed to be Katy and I would discover Taylor's dead body in her basement but I scrapped that cause we all love happy endings!

Outside of the actual gameplay, I'd say the best moment was when DevonDreams got busted for cheating
