Just because Angelo doesn't say something doesn't mean you should or can do it. But on the other hand just because he says something, it doesn't mean you have to do it either.
Everyone interprets things differently, so crossing the line in one person's book may not be crossing the line in another person's book.
We all need to understand the fact that we will all play the game in different ways, but there is no right or wrong way. And just because one person does something, does not mean everyone needs to do it.

The problem with this is that sometimes, like with the Musical Chairs Challenge, we have to vote to save people... and if we upset one another that may be incentive to let someone be eliminated. There is a fine balance between doing our own thing and staying on good terms with our opponents. I, personally, would like to stay on good terms with everyone, because in the end, long after Top Member Cycle 5 ends, we will all most likely still be on ATRL and we will want to be able to talk to one another as friends.

You shouldn't be interpreting what we think is a top member and if you are its time for you to say **** it and just be yourself. Do you and don't change that fact. Back in my seasons I don't remember there ever being voting until the final 2, and if there was I didn't pay attention to it because I didn't feel like spamming people just to vote.

Thank you Matty. I agree, and I really wish there hadn't been voting so early on. It has caused so much tension between the contestants. :[

I don't know why people are taking this voting thing so seriously, the spamming is kind of annoying but we were asked to campaign so what do people expect?

Remeese was already displaying a huge attitude the other day with his cussing battle with MLD. Remeese was ok for the most part, but at the same time I'm not surprised. Just sad that there's so much unnecessary drama this cycle.

It's about our definition of fierce and research skills.

Yeah, I never try to offend people. I am just an honest person.

Yes, I agree with you! And I'm really glad you got someone you could easily work with. 
And same with me. I think honesty is key to being a Top Member anyway. Noone likes a boring fake.

Personally to me, if I ranked it to my taste, the rankings would've been the opposite, but for me being Top Member is being comfortable to yourself so if you gave something none current totally different then your comfortable with yourself.

That's great! I'm glad to hear that. When I sent mine in, I knew that in the eyes of the judges and the other contestants, my taste would be really weird and random, but that's just how I am in general. I figured I might as well take a chance and let everyone get to know the real me, rather than be what people want me to be. And I definitely agree with the last part, a Top Member has to be comfortable with themselves and can't be afraid to be real.

It's our challenge. We each got a celeb, and we had out pick out their fiercest red carpet photo.

Exactly.  It's not fun to spam people's walls or to contact people to support you throughout the game, but it's what we were asked to do, and what we were told could make or break our chances in this competition. I've actually met quite a few great ATRLers through asking for support in the competition, but there are those who don't have the time or the energy to do it, so they end up feeling like they have no choice but to sit back and watch the competition walk away.

Angelo loves the drama.
I think most people could probably put the competition between 2 members for the final already. Some people are clear top members and some aren't. But things could change.

It's our challenge.  We were assigned celebs and we have to find their fiercest photo.
And why was Remeese banned?  Was it because of the fight on here?

Yes. Angelo assigned each of us a celebrity to submit the fiercest red carpet photo of, and SiXo created a thread about 4 hours ago asking for pictures of Beyonce's Best Red Carpet moment. I waited three hours to see if a problem would arise, and when none did, I created a thread asking people to choose their favorite of three Fergie red carpet pics I'd selected. Ultimately, just because one picture got the most votes didn't mean I was going to submit that one, but at the same time there was nothing in Angelo's message that said we weren't allowed to do that. In order to ease tension I asked the mods to close my thread, but I don't feel like I was doing anything wrong.

I only asked for votes from people on my friends list because I didn't really want uninformed people to vote for me, I think people should know what they are voting for. I did make a blog about the competition and how busy I was but I asked for support and for people to vote but not necessarily for me.
I hate getting spam on my wall about competitions and I never ever vote for the people so I don't do it to people I don't know, it's a bad way to start a relationship imo.

No. He insulted SiXo today apparently. There was tension between them this morning, but Remeese's banning came out of nowhere.
