Welcome castaways to your 11th Results Show! This is Part 1 of the show as the second batch of rounds still need to be judged. Results for those will come tomorrow.
I will be posting Rounds 1-6 separately and each round, the lowest average placing contestant will be eliminated. However, you will still be able to see how you ranked on other rounds to put things into perspective.
6 of you will be eliminated (from the round not the game itself) today. You guys will get an early chance to deliberate over Tribal Council as you will all be up for elimination along with the six players eliminated tomorrow. One of you will achieve individual immunity for this upcoming Tribal Council.
You will be given scores based off the round you are eliminated with a few exceptions since I don't think anyone deserves too low of a score.

3. Mariah - Best she looked.
4. Britney - Love the picture but doesn't totally match the song.
5. Carrie - Fits theme wise.
6. Nicki - That ass though.
7. Ciara - Nice.
8. Beyoncé - Don't get the love for this personally but cute.
9. Jlo - She lost her neck a bit too much for me. A little too hoochie fab.
10. Ariana - She looks great but the actual cover is so cheap.
11. Ellie - Doesn't stand out.
12. Taylor - Boring.
13. Katy - I've never liked this cover.
Only a few of you actually chose their best single covers but up to Bey was all pretty good for me. Jlo to Taylor were all either boring or cheap looking. And then I've just never liked The One That Got Away cover because the TD era was like a kindergarten child's visual fantasy.

I tend to favor simple single covers, and I need the cover to accurately represent the song. The ones at the top do an excellent job of this, and look professional. Right around Taylor, the covers start looking fan made or cheap, or they do not match the song they're for (Britney mostly).

First of all, SINGLE COVERS are really important to me since I'm so visual. I like having slaying covers on my music library. I like covers that conveys a message or gives a hint to what their songs are all about,The look of the covers from Rihanna to Carrie fits the song they have, which is what I look for on this specific round. Moo to Ariana are pretty average, Jlo to Katy are meh.

3. Nicki - Not the best look here but it's Nicki's best look in general.
4. Rihanna - Love her with long hair.
5. Ciara - Work!
6. Taylor - My favorite look of hers even if it's sort of casual.
7. Beyoncé - Not her best but still a good look though that pose isn't cute.
8. Katy - Her fashion sense is terrible tbh but this is one of her better looks!
9. Mariah - She looks good but the actual outfit is less interesting.
10. Carrie - She's clearly gorgeous but this look is boring.
11. Ariana - I like the dress but she's drowning in it.
12. Ellie - Not sure if it's the pose or just not form flattering,
13. Britney - Don't ever talk to me again.
Gaga to Taylor were all really good. Bey looked nice but i think she's looked better before despite the risk. Katy to Carrie were pretty but nothing special. Ariana and Ellie had nice things on but they weren't filling them out correctly. Britney honestly doesn't have any amazing red carpet looks despite being so gorgeous but this was just rude.

I'm disappointed because I know almost all of these artists have better red carpet looks than the ones y'all chose. The ones towards the bottom of my ranking lean towards the boring (Carrie, Ellie) or tacky (Ciara, Taylor, Britney) side, and I think Ariana looks terrible in that dress.
Red Carpet looks are one of the ways for a main pop girl, or an aspiring pop girl to impress and let media and GP notice her beauty. This round is pretty good for everyone, almost everyone sent in stunning looks of their artists. Gaga slays the red carpet so much with her curves. Rihanna, Katy, Ellie, Nicki and Jlo looked so sophisticated. Bey, Ari, Taylor, Ciara are pretty average on this round since some of them looked plain, Bey exudes sexiness but I don't find her gorgeous enough for the red carpet with that look, Britney to Mariah looked so boring.

From J. Lo, queen of red carpets, to Rih, it's all-time best looks for them, in my opinion. From Nicki to Ellie, the looks are on point. This was really not one of Bey's better red carpet looks but she's still over the rest. From Carrie to Taylor, good looks but nothing special. Ariana is at last because I don't like it that much.
1. Ariana - The worst song of her discography released as her debut single? Tragic.
2. Jlo - I love Jlo but she deserved to bomb with this.
3. Mariah - I remember the mess this caused for the Lambs.
4. Britney - Lowkey love the song but yeah no one's here for a ballad by Britney Spears sans Everytime.
5. Rihanna - This isn't bad until you take into consideration it followed two serious quality singles.
6. Carrie - There were better options on Play On, sure.
7. Nicki - It's sort of a cop out since this wasn't like a Pink Friday single but yeah not a good look.
8. Beyoncé - It just flopped rather than being a terrible single choice.
9. Ellie - It doesn't have that much commercial appeal, so I guess.
10. Katy - The lyrics are borderline embarrassing but other than LL, this was it.
11. Ciara - This song is damn cute and was a hit so you better never talk to me again Guero.
12. Gaga - You know damn well this had to be released.
13. Taylor - This remix is literally the perfect single.
Ariana to Britney are very questionable. Rihanna to Nicki weren't terrible but they weren't the best options. Bey was just a flop. Ellie was a good track but not commercial. Katy to Taylor sort of had to be released?

I love the bottom four single choices, I think they all definitely have worse ones, ESPECIALLY Rihanna. The top three are really bad, I have no idea what they + their teams were thinking, and the ones in between are either choices that I agree are their worst but like the song (Beyonce, Katy) or disagree with but don't think it's a good song (Ellie, Ciara, etc.)

yaaaas Ivory! Drag Fartfume to the pits! So boring and emotionless tbh. Ariana is also embarassed of PYHU so you did a right choice dwuw! I like Bad Blood but adding that rapper is so unnecessary which made me hate the song tbh. Singles from Mariah to Rihanna are pretty fine with me. Element, rl231, prezli and Sebas are on the last spots since they committed blasphemy on their respective artists!

Love me some Triumphant and Perfume but they were truly tragic single choices. A cheesy mess from 3 to 6. J. Lo's, Nicki's and Rih's are not brilliant songs but weren't that bad as singles. This Is How We Do and You And I were obvious choices left to be picked as singles and aren't really bad. Run The World may have not smashed but it surely isn't her worst single. It's one of her most recognizable ones despite its chart run and sales. Bad Blood, especially this version featuring Kendrick, is actually a great single choice so I'm confused.
1. Katy - This was an absolute disaster.
2. Ariana - I still don't get the purpose of this video.
3. Jlo - The Lola era was tragic. Plus Jlo's videos are always so good.
4. Mariah - Mariah should stick to English.
5. Ellie - This made me feel so uncomfortable.
6. Britney - Lowkey cheated the round but good for you for doing it.
7. Ciara - She was too ghetto fabulous for her own good.
8. Carrie - I mean it's boring but nothing tragic but with Carrie, there is no cringeworthy videos.
9. Nicki - Sure, it's a mess but i think that was the intention. Va Va Voom is worse.
10. Taylor - This was before Taylor was an evil dictator.
11. Gaga - Probably Gaga's worst but only because it's so boring.
12. Rihanna - It is one of her worst but it's still cute honestly.
13. Beyoncé - It's a bit too simple but she pulls that choreo off so well.
Katy to Ellie were all tragic. Britney & Ciara were bad but not as bad. Carrie was simply just boring. Nicki was a mess but sort of a hot mess. Taylor was whatever. Gaga, Rihanna, & Bey were all sort of screwed since their videographies have no real tragedies.

Sorry, but there just is no beating Katy's Birthday video. What a train wreck. The Taylor video is also heinous, and the Mariah video -- not "in the recording studio" shots The videos in the middle were all good choices, they're boring videos, but the artist might have worse. The only two I really disagree with are the bottom two, that Ariana video might not have great special effects but it was interesting and when Problem is in her videography, it's not her worst. Nicki has the worst videography I've seen of any artist, so I'd have gone with a video that wasn't trying to be funny. It's hard to critique it when you can tell Nicki and her team were having a stupid fun time making it. Some of her "serious" videos are far worse.

This round is my favorite since it shows how pop girls tend to not realize they released very cringeworthy videos that somehow makes it easy for them to be dragged at some point. Very tight round for everyone tbh. Videos from Nicki up to Gaga were all good and appropriate to be called the worst on their video catalogs. The bottom 3 videos are kinda not in the worst category if you ask me so.

Katy has a huge lead ahead of the others. I still don't know what was she thinking. One Last Time that I see this video, please. J. Lo, Mimi and Britney slaying the effort and the hard work for their videos. Cici's is so awkward. From Ellie to Gaga, I see middle of the road videos, not essentially bad, but that don't make justice to the songs. Bey was so capitalizing on the Single Ladies' video success during the whole Sasha Fierce era, starting from it, going through Diva, this and then Sweet Dreams. What a mess. Except that, it doesn't look bad. Stupid Hoe's video is campy but it's fitting to the song and to her Roman persona. You Da One is not a masterpiece but it's cute and cinematic.
You two tied for last place this round. In order to break the tie we are going to look at your cumulative scores so far in the round. Better one stays. The other is eliminated.

5. Beyoncé - This looks so garage sale fabulous.
6. Katy - She can do so much better but dresses a frumpy mess all the time.
7. Mariah - She looks like she's going to an amusement park.
8. Jlo - You picked her like one bad red carpet look so props but its still better than most lol.
9. Rihanna - It's not really that ugly but it's just so ghetto for a high fashion girl like Rih.
10. Ariana - She's looked worse back when she dressed quince ready but this is so hooker.
11. Carrie - I hate that color but otherwise there's no real problem.
12. Taylor - Too frumpy but nothing bad.
13. Ellie - This is better than her best carpet look? This is a nice suit bitch.
Nicki to Bey are just disgusting. Katy is a grandma. Mariah is a casual mess. Jlo & Rihanna don't look terrible but for them, it's pretty bad. Ariana to Taylor have looked worse but weren't flattering either. Ellie looks good?

I really like the bottom four, some of them are better than the selections for Best Red Carpet Look. The top four are truly ugly, and the ones in between range from tacky to boring.
I cannot stop laughing at some of the choices. Everyone deserves a standing ovation for sending in very worst outfits of their faves. Mariah looked like a party crasher with that outfit, so unfitting for a diva like her. Ciara looked like she took too much drugs and showed up on the red carpet with her hooker outfit. Britney looked like a broke magician, Nicki tried to be edgy but failed miserably. Beyonce looked like a Class-D prostitute while JLo looksl ike baymax's mother. Katy to Carrie encapsulates the tragic outfits theme too. Taylor and RiRI looks kinda cute tbh so I gave them the last two spots.

I screamed through 1 to 6. Gaga and Nicki being them to their worst, Bey looking like a damn wax figure, Rih looking like a Mexican maid, Britney serving D'Artagnan and Ciara looking awkward as hell. Carrie, Mimi and Katy chose bad outfits but they managed not to look really tragic. Ariana's wasn't that bad but I feel like that outfit is unflattering for someone as short as she is. The three remaining looked good, in my opinion.

6. Jlo - You'll probably flop but this is definitely one of her best album tracks. Great intro.
7. Ciara - This song is so underrated.
8. Katy - Her biggest snubbed single, yeah. Her best album track, debatable.
9. Golden - It's a jam but she has some better ones for me at least.
10. Gaga - Another jam but not her best in my opinion.
11. Mariah - I'll be honest and say I'm not a Mariah expert but she has better from what i do know.
12. Carrie - She has much better even if this is a cute song.
13. Taylor - I find this song way too whiny and she has so much better on top of that.
Most of everyone did well here. A lot of underrated songs as well as your typical album track favorites. Bey to Carrie all are good songs but just aren't their best in my opinion. Taylor just was not the right choice.

Taylor Swift has too strong of a discography to choose that boring, too long, John Mayer-wannabe of a song as her best album track. Have you ever heard Enchanted? New Romantics? Anything from Red?
The other songs in the lower half are just boring R&B tracks, nothing special about them. The top three are perfect, that is my absolute favorite Carrie Underwood song! Beyond the top four, none of the selections were what I'd have picked.
