HERE
Now it's time to see who is going home!!
6 members stand before me, but only 5 will continue on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
The first member I call has been deemed best of the week and will have their name displayed in my signature until the next judging...
The best entry is...
1) CITRUS
AVERAGE JUDGE RANK:
1.8 | TOTAL JUDGE SCORE:
46.5 |
The judges overall LOVED your entry! You found this perfect balance between humor and sincerity without it being overwhelming. The lip singing videos were a nice touch and really showed your personality not as a member on the forum, but as your actual self coming through.
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
2) MARQ
AVERAGE JUDGE RANK:

Despite the major liking for your entry, the meat of your content was of discussion. Some felt it was the perfect amount of personal story, while others felt a sense of holding back despite still being personal. You were given the opportunity to share as much as you wanted and in the context you wanted, but I think the issue was the consistency of the personal information.
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!

Your issue was some what the same as Marq's; the consistency of information. The judges liked the different approach you took, but still felt a missing of that little personal aspect if that makes sense. Your aesthetics for this challenge was heavily praised! It displayed your taste to the next level.
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!

You took a little bit of a risk this challenge by going out of the box and going with a broad musical style for each section instead of a specific song like every one else did. You provided a song for each section, but most were wanting more personal connections with that particular song you chose than the actual artist or theme.
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Will Giselle and Vespertine please step forward.
I only have one name typed out in the Hot Pink font below and that person will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
Giselle --- The girl who was brought back into the competition due to her dedication with the game. You didn't disappoint us last entry, but here you are this challenge. Like I said in the beginning, this challenge is the hardest to judge because it is very SUBJECTIVE. We try to look at the connection and see if its there, and that is what the judges were having with your entry. We felt it was real and sincere, but there was more of a MORE personal connection missing. That could be in personal information, or by other means if you don't want to open your personal life like that. Some were also wanting a more diverse taste that was hinted in your challenge, but all seemed similar.
Vespertine --- Well, nice to see you again in the bottom two. It's not really a good place to constantly see me. It shows that you aren't growing stronger as you should. We've seen it in so many cycles before that you can be mildly strong and stand out when there are other contestants left, but as they dwindle down and we see everyone in a stronger light; you start to show less of a shine. Edge even kind of pointed that out in his comments. You have this personality which got you here and left you doing consistently well, but now that the numbers are lower you are kind of just there like Louis in 1D. As for your entry, the critique was basically like Giselle's. We were hoping for a bit more of a personal touch like you gave in some blurbs. It was entertaining, but just wanted more.
So who stays?
VESPERTINE!

Take some chances so you can shine above the rest. Kick down all the Zayn, Harry, Niall, and Liam's and declare your time to shine! You've got all this potential, but we just want to see more. Luckily the judges feel like you deserve another chance to show us.
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!

There is going to be a certain judge who will be upset about this more than the rest of us. You were a fan of his in this competition. I'm even pretty upset. When you were first eliminated in the first challenge after having this preconceived notion of all this potential, I was praying you would do the Comeback. You stuck with it until close to the very end and it was that dedication to this game and the forum that shone through. It's just disappointing that your entries that you provided didn't connect as well with the judges to think you should continue on. Despite all that though, you are something special and have all the potential in the world to be a TOP MEMBER. I'm not worried about you at all.
Stay tuned for the next challenge.
Fierce and Love
