But the Mockingjay doesn't do ****. She just whines and cries non stop. You can kill Courtney Act when you stop mopping around then I'll be in charge.

Only one Cher is allowed in this thread. Point deduction.

Round Three - Headlines
Welcome, candidates. We've gotten through applications, articles, and now we've done headlines. Some of you delivered front page slam dunks, but some of you barely even made it to the classifieds.
Below each of your names you will find your score and comments on your articles. Good luck.

Your headlines gave my Yahoo news comments teas. Not good. The Gaga one was weak, the Cher one was weak (and a bit transphobic), the Selena shade was eh, and pretty much everything else was the same. The Madonna one was golden, but that was your sole highlight for me. The Katy Perry one sounded like a stale drag from a first-time poster in SYG. Eh.
I liked 2/10 of them.
7/30

This was much better than I was expecting from you, as you don't seem like the dragging type. Which worked, as you used some lovely, classy shade. You have the best Ariana and Madonna headlines, and the Zooey Deschanel one made me happy. The Britney headline was alright, but I enjoy that simile. I think you could've been a bit dirtier, but the classiness worked this time.
I liked 7/10 of them.

You took a step down this round, but that's not uncommon after winning previously. I'll start with the bad: the Britney and Cher headlines. The problem is that the rest isn't bad, but it's not great, either. Your Madonna and Ariana were pretty good (Ariana was your best, I loved that homework line!), but you just seemed to be lacking a bit. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. Katy teas. You could've gone harder.
I liked 5/10 of them.

You and hello_world had the misfortune to have the same headline for Gaga, but I liked both so I didn't hold it against either of you. You had the best Cher and Mariah headlines, which comes as no surprise since you have experience with faves over the age of 40. The Ke$ha headline absolutely killed me...Easily the best out of those. You've been staying near the top of the pack this whole competition; keep it up!
I liked 6/10 of them.

....Well, now, this was a good thing to get in my inbox. Your Cher headline is A-OK, and that Britney one...God damn. Ruthless and I loved it. Some of your headlines reminded me of posts by that one SYG-er with the fat Gaga avi and the literacy problem. Its name escapes me, but that comparison is, for this round, a good one. A nice comeback. Cher teas.
I liked 6/10 of them.

5. Pears - 31.5/60
As you can see, the winner of this week's challenge is
Euphorae
! We told you to grab our attention with your headlines, and you just nabbed yourself national coverage. Congratulations! On the flip side, our Bottom Three stayed nearer to the local section. hello_world, Peaches, and Pears, all three of you are up for elimination. One of you will be immediately saved by the contestant rankings...You three were ranked 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 exactly...The one with 2.0, however, was Peaches. Congratulations, Peaches. You have been saved from elimination by your fellow contestants. That leaves us with hello_world and Pears...
To hello_world
Your performance in this competition has been relatively spotty. You were quite nearly eliminated last round, only to be saved by your fellow competitors. This round found you only two points away from the winning score, but when it gets down to only a few people, those points start to matter. Coasting won't help you win The Sleaze.
To Pears
This is the second time you've been in the Bottom Two. Your entry was the lowest scored by both the judges and the contestants this round. You haven't done badly in this competition. You've simply...been here. Never rising to the top and never being the absolute worst (Well, except for this time). Do you really deserve another chance?
The overall scores for this round were better than any other we've had so far (All two of them!). You two just didn't stick out enough, unfortunately. When the pond gets this tiny, only the big fish survive. So which one of you is the guppy?
...
Pears.
You saw this coming. This is your second time in the Bottom Two, and you had the lowest score this round. I wonder where you would have placed if you had done this entry more patiently and turned it in on time...You are not the Sleaziest.
With that, we are down to the Fabulous Four (Just assuming everyone here is gay). This next round is going to call upon a certain skill that ATRL has become known for. I learned that some of you have reached out to your fellow candidates for alliances when it comes to contestant rankings, but let's just see how those alliances stand after this challenge is through. Remember, you are your number one priority in this game.
Sleazy as ever,
Citrus

What alliances?
I did not expect to be in the bottom 3. Then again there were only 5 of us and the scores were very close. I'm glad my fellow contestants saved me. Citrus was too hard on me #TeamBianca
Congrats Fab Four
