Out of the 14, there was only one person I did not know or had not seen prior to the game. That person was Kavish

I think it's because I've been mainly in the Games Section since I registered ..

And I've discovered quite a few members thanks to this Cycle as well

It is scarily getting to that point

Boyonce and his boyfriend need to lock their doors, and the boyfriend needs to start carrying mace if not already

Time to branch out! When I first signed up, my comfort zone was YTT and the once upon a time graphics section. I eventually went to all sections of the forum as the months went by.

I would still like to get to know you. My inbox is always open for chatting... Just ask Zune.

I hope she's okay .. She's been busy actually .. She was on holidays and out of country to visit a friend, this is why she isn't as present in the thread

[Matty]

I'll start the elimination here shortly

Exactly what Kavish said.

I actually had to send her the speech challenge even before the event elimination in case she survived because she notified me of her absence. She said she'd be gone off and on, majority of the time off, from ATRL from May 8th to May 20th.

Lemme get my Gifs. ready

Oh so Anna had extra time to prepare for this challenge?

Interesting.

ATRL's Next
topmember
Cycle 9

---

Kitt, Anna, Jeremy



Welcome ladies! Tonight we will be seeing who are our final two to move on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.

Let me introduce the judges...

1) EdgeOfAddiction - Cycle 8 winner
2) Doc - ATRL moderator
3) extrachapstick - Cycle 5 winner and Cycle 6 host
4) boyonce - Cycle 8 runner-up


Earlier this evening you all met with the judges and we evaluated your entries...
HERE

Now it's time to see who is going home!!


3 members stand before me, but only 2 will continue on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
The first member I call has been deemed best of the week, will have their name displayed in my signature until the finale, and most importantly a spot in the finale!

The best speech goes to...









































































































































































































1) KITT
Your run in this competition has probably been the most impressive out of all cycles in ATRL's Next Top Member. Placing top call-out more times than any other person in any cycle; it's incredible! As for your speech, It was much different than anything we have seen from you... but, in a good way. You weren't hiding behind your brand by using a bunch of pinks, purples, cuteness, all things feminine, which were great don't take that the wrong way, but using your brand in the most simplest way.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 1.6
Congratulations, you are a finalist!



Will Anna and Jeremy please step forward.

I only have one name typed out in the DarkOrchid font below and that person will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.

Anna --- Like Kitt, you have had an impressive run in this competition and another one that is most impressive out of any cycle. It was basically you & Kitt versus the world this entire competition. However, when you weren't impressive, you were at the extreme bottom of the pack. As for your speech on why you should move on, you seemed to question a little still on why you should be ATRL's Next Top Member and move on the final two. I noticed it with the uses of 'I think' and 'I believe' when talking about yourself, but the judges pointed something out that I didn't realize. You said you weren't an established member, but us judges disagree. Making it this far in the competition, you have established yourself as member and proved that in your speech about learning more about yourself and being okay with yourself.

Jeremy --- Your first time in the bottom since challenge three! Each challenge you have improved and have shined, especially with your personality. You may not have received any top call-outs like Kitt and Anna, but you have proved your strengths by other means. Your speech explained that perfectly! Especially with your rough around the edges, never perfect, never polished comment. Boyonce pointed out that that is what makes you relate-able and very much a person on ATRL, and I couldn't agree more. You're messy and colorful. However, can you be a bit too colorful? You had been banned once, which was explained in your speech. Could the reason why you never out did Kitt and Anna during some challenges be because you were too colorful?



So who joins Kitt in the final two!?


































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































2) JEREMY / DRIPDRIP
Congratulations, you are a finalist and will be competing against Kitt for the title!
Despite not having as many wins as Anna, 4/5 of us judges agreed that you should move on to the final two. You have grown in this competition and we see you shining in each challenge despite its rank. Your personality is what moved you on. Let that be an example, personality can out shine rankings.
JUDGE AVERAGE: 1.8


Anna / borntodie --- JUDGE AVERAGE: 2.6
You have done amazing throughout this competition! You have made some memorable entries and have grown as a member. If we were just basing this competition fully on rankings, you would most certainty be in the final two with Kitt. You are a top member, even though in your speech we kind of saw moments where you were still unsure you are one yourself. You need to believe in your quiet, different self and just roll with it. I strongly suggest working out the kinks to your event and go host that in The Lounge. I think ATRL is ready to see your top member potential with that event!

I think I need to also add a counter comment with what I said with Jeremy to clear things up. I mentioned that personality can out shine rankings, don't take that the wrong way. Your personality had shone as well! You both just have different personalities and shined differently.





Fierce and Love

Interesting.

Not all, she either had the same or less time than Kitt and Jeremy. She may have had less because I sent the challenge to her a little later than planned.

[EdgeOfAddiction]

Interesting, yet, unexpected.

Sorry to see you go Anna.
You did extremely well and you should be proud. Also, never forget that you're the only one this season who has gotten an unanimous #1 placement for a challenge. #Rihspect

[DripDrip]

How bittersweet, its sad seeing Anna go, as one of my longest friends on the forum I'm glad she joined this game. Even though she wasn't as lively as us she certainly shined brighter then a lot of the contestants. You should be proud of yourself!



I can't believe I made it this far, well I mean, like I did it. Kitt we really are partners until the end!

[ethan]

Congratulations, Kitt and Jeremy!

What a perfect final 2.
