I'm starting a secret/illegal party in the basement for all that are feeling risky tonight

A lot of people in this competition don't seem to realize that everyone in this game is an individual. That means THEY ARE THEM AND NOT WHAT ATRL THINKS THEY SHOULD BE. I'm one of the few contestants in this game, as well on this site, that ALWAYS is himself, and for some reason, that makes people want to hate me, when I actually AM a nice person and have tried to be one from since I joined here. Just because I don't use words like drag, sis, ha, and dumb **** like that and because I do things differently from most people on this site doesn't mean I deserve to get picked on.

This is a competition, and I'm in it to win it and i'm in it to kick all the haters in the ass.

Get yo life, SIS. DRAG these sons of bitches. Get HA!

Nice summary. i admire that you used a photo of yourself. It's a fairly average entry, though. I hope you show more the bizarreness you mentioned next time around.

Didn't like it at first, but I like the little story behind it.

Oooohhhh, out of focus pictures. That’s when my photographer side comes out and is like “NO!” While it’s interesting, I honestly do not think it stands out. We see a bit of your profile, but it’s mainly your back. There isn’t much interesting to look at. Now, don’t take that wrong way and think I said you are ugly, cause I didn’t say that! From what I can see you look like a handsome young man. Just for me it just all blends and doesn’t stand out. I did like how you said it’s bizarre and weird like you. I also appreciate that you chose a picture of yourself.

There is a reason why Liam is marrying her… opened legs Just kidding haha. Back to your entry and avatar. I enjoyed your entry more so than your first. But I don’t know, to me it screamed “I’m trying!” I read Miley and Can’t Be Tamed more so than I saw stuff about you, and the former stood out more. Your avatar too doesn’t really stand out either. It’s not because it’s a still, it’s because Miley is a bit further away. If someone who hadn’t seen the video, wouldn’t have an idea who it was. You have this ‘I’m my own person and I don’t give a **** what you think of me’ essence to you because you were bullied and it caused a wall to be built. I like that, but I also want to see some vulnerability. Miley isn’t tough all the time, she has her moments where she breaks down and lets it all go.

Very pink and purple. I like the rock on they were giving, however as whole it just blends together and doesn’t stand out much. Since it’s animated it does stand out, but just not as much. As for your entry, there was no you. It was all 2NE1. It was okay.

It’s different, kind of like an illusion. It’s a still, but yet there are things moving to keep it from being boring. Something you didn’t mention that I noticed, is that your avatar to me represents who you are and your username. Sloths are lazy and don’t move that often, but when they do they can be fascinating creatures… still ugly though. That’s something that I pointed out, but I wish you would have seen it. I didn’t see much of you, besides your short statement that you love movies. Overall, good.

I loved everything about your entry and your avatar is amazing. As is the gif version of it. It’s like the polar bear is saying “WHAT, BITCH STOLE MY FISH!?” You made it about you, how it’s different, and how it stands out. I don’t have much more to say. Well done!

Cute. Really represents your ATRL personality, as well. I do wish your had explained what hearts used to mean, though -- I'm almost more interested in that than I am in your entry. But good job overall.

“Even the smallest of things can make huge imapcts.” I love it and that’s what your avatar does. Those it’s not moving, it has the glow aspect that makes it stand out. The color does as well. It represents you too. I saw a connection between this and your username. Well done!

At first I was like minecraft? Lego and minecraft had a baby? Your avatar is very entertaining and different. I could see each scene a gif and people using them. Your entry was nice, but I felt you still could have gotten the impact that you received in a shorter way and less pictures. Your pictures actually overpowered your entry and made it less meaningful for me.

PART 2 coming... a lot of copy and paste

Oh wait he did nvm.

Can't wait to hear the results.

YES, Doc, THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

Thank you guys so much for your kind words! and... I have no idea what the gif means, legs.

I'm not sure what that moving rock wall GIF is trying to symbolize but I wasn't reaching
It was actually quite a simple summary, if I may say so myself

It was more of a 'sometimes it dragged on when it didn't need to' kinda reach. But I still had it in the top half, so don't worry!

I did much better this round

But Doc, that was mean - you CLEARLY have it out for me just because of my blog posts.

Well done. It's a fun entry that helps me to get to know you. I like the insight into your own life that you provided.

Originally posted by Doc

I love your avatars. The EOG one isn't my favorite of all of them, but I still like it a lot. I like the description too.

Originally posted by Katie

Originally posted by Matty

Another very entertaining entry. However, not as entertaining as your first one. You said you may or may not have been high while writing this entry, I kind of think you were half way. I liked the meaning, but I feel like you could have achieved it with all the cheese, and the shamwow. I feel like you started with a bang with your first entry, but now you’re using that same method without switching it up. It can get a little tiring.

I like your comments about branding and confidence. I definitely associate that avatar with you, and I knew exactly what it was even though you didn't provide it in the entry.

Originally posted by Doc

Didn't put your avatar in your entry. Points off. But I definitely remember your avatar, so points added.

Originally posted by Katie

Originally posted by Matty

There is a simplicity about your avatar and entry, that makes it stand out and personal. In the very little writing, compared to last challenge, you achieved so much. This entry also shows your age compared to everyone, since you are one of the older contestants lol. Confidence, vulernability, and strength are all seen… I like.

Nice avatar. I generally tend to like anime avatars, even though I'm not a huge anime fan.

Originally posted by Katie

Originally posted by Matty

I just wanna say, I’m a little disappointed. I was actually really REALLY hoping you would have kept no avatar. Like Lipton, there is something about the two of you that having no avatars suit you. It is a nice avatar that you made yourself and it goes with your entry, your motivation. An avatar below your name just doesn’t seem to fit to me since you’ve changed.

Mmm sexy Adele. Good entry -- I'm glad you directly connected it to yourself.

Originally posted by Doc

Did not recognize Adele. She looks hot. Nice picture though.

Originally posted by Katie

Originally posted by Matty

I just don’t like the avatar. All I see is forehead and a cut off eye, I don’t see this “tinge of mystery, and carried an air of seduction.” I feel the image as a whole gives that energy and the mixture of mature and sophistication. You wanted that feel of not being the boundaries of mature and sophistication, I would have chosen a different picture to achieve that. The cropped avatar just looks awkward, and the whole image is too beautiful, mature, and sophisticated. Maybe an uglier photo of Adele would have achieved that. A well written entry though.

I loooove your old avi, but I like the way you connected K$ to yourself. Well done.

Originally posted by Doc

Sorry, but Ke$ha looks a mess in that scene. I like that other avatar though, the still one.

Originally posted by Katie

Originally posted by Matty

Quirky? The avatar is very awkward. I don’t see this representing you having fun like Ke$ha. In all honestly, I prefer the avatar you had when you first signed up. There I see, bright, fun, much more of how you described yourself in your entry. Also I didn’t know if you putting your twitter and game in your entry was a mistake or on purpose. I kept it either way, but if it was on purpose and a promoting method, I don’t approve.

You had attitude in the entry, which I liked. Having yourself in an avatar is a risk, but like I said with Collin I appreciate it. With ATRL being full of gays and you being a handsome fellow, it’s obviously going to attract people. You will then be stalked and asked for your nudes haha. Everything blends though, a little too much. I like how it ties into your name, but in the case I wish it was something different.

Now that you have met with the judges, when you return only 12 of you will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
