A sparkly little suger plum in his own right, and another member of the gay dance troupe featuring me and scene called HDS - High Definition Shade, please welcome ATRL's Game Section's own little gay fairy, Hugamari!
So TOP 4! I'm proud of you, I'm shocked mostly, because I thought you'd be out week after week, so kudos for you surprising me. How do you feel overall at how you did in Top Member?
I exceeded my own expectations, honestly. I felt that the partner challenge would've been my downfall, but I made it past that. I felt that the gif challenge would be my downfall...but I made it past that, as well. Surely, then, I thought smilies would be the end...but I made it past that, too. The face that I made Top 4 is, in my opinion, impressive given the lack of faith everyone (including myself) had in me.
I know a lot of people would say you had lower averages then some people that even left before you, what do you have to say to them?
They're not wrong...but I tried. I really did. It's really all you can do at the end of the day.
Do you still feel like "purity" was a good choice for your brand? Or would you have gone with something different?
I feel like, although maybe I could've got a better judgement score if I went with a brand like "eccentric" or something, I made it work for my personality throughout the whole game. My entries would've been way different without purity...so, I think it was the best choice overall. I wouldn't replace it.
I asked Sam Jay this too, but how do you think you would have done if Mimi and Jax had never left the competition?
I'm not delusional...I know them leaving only extended my stay in the game. Both had better averages than me, and they just happened to leave at opportune times for me. I still think I made it decently far on my own merit, and without luck, but to say it was all my own doing would be silly.
What does the future have for Hugamari? Do we expect to see the trailer for: Here Comes Hugamari?
#HUGAPOP will come out some day. Until then, I will be working on my reality show Here Comes Hugamari, where 14 contestants will compete to be my best friend.
Oh, and I know I said I wouldn't come back to Top Member even if I was allowed...but if I was allowed...I just might. My first time was just me being a replacement, anyway. It might not count towards the 2 chances limit that seems to be in place
Let me just make ANTM Cycle 12 the cycle of uglee... meaning no one will format their entries. They will have to have their entries solely do the talking, no hiding being the glitz and the glam.

So Latch, failed to respond to me in time so he could not be here on time, shame because he was in the top 3. And another shame is because he was actually the winner of Miss. Congeniality! The resurgent gay queen Citrus, asked you guys to vote, and you picked ha, but since he's not here tonight, I'll take his trophy home. In the mean time enjoy my debut music video!

Being a finalist is an awkward place to be, I would know, I was there. But its not always bad. There always feels like there is no loser in this game ever. This time the finalist were neck and neck and closer then ever, so please welcome
Now, you know, I know, that you were my front-runner for this competition and I supported you all the way. Are you proud of how well you did in top member?
Yeah, I like all my entries. Even my runt of the dancehalls smiley entry. I did over think it, reasoning if it were added it would be the most popular sleep smiley. There's three smoking smilies: , even though I didn't realize there already was a sleeping smiley it really didn't impact the one I was proposing, in my mind. Nicole's was added years after and because of the its name, it's popular. Besides MiMi's smiley, in an alternate reality that they're all added, mine would have been the most used.
At one point in the competition did you ever feel like the contestants and judges were against you because of your already grown reputation around ATRL?
Girl. I'm reading articles about female infant genocide in China and before that I was looking up the disappearing poor children in Brazil. It's not in me to answer these rn, so let me find that old message I sent you about this that you're fishing for.
It was blatant from a few challenges in that many people saw me being in the finale and thought that wasn't fair for whatever reason. And had a very "not dancehall" mentality with them rathering it be the other person, whoever it was in these hypothetical situations for the finale 7 challenges away, to win. There's a variety of reasons for that, i I can infer that it's more interesting to not be the obvious old member that they thought shouldn't be in the competition being the major one. but despite that I never said anything about that and was still nice to everyone. Despite that "I just want the person who isn't you to win" tone of the season I felt at times.
I don't feel one way or another about that. It's something I'm used to, I just thought it was peculiar that it was even in an online game that I participated in for fun. ANTM was still one of the more welcoming games in the section. Others seem even colder to people who don't normally use the section (Antm being a rare game that's free from that feeling) and I've felt much more uncomfortable in other games.
At several points you were called out on how your brand "Candid" didn't really fit to who you were, do you think you should have gone with a different brand?
No. But I think sometimes the judges had trouble seeing past their own notion of what the word meant. Look at my feedback for that challenge, I guess? Some thought my examples were perfect others thought I didn't know what the word meant. That's the way these games work, it's about subjective opinion. That's why the judges are respectable people (either mods or winners) because they have valued opinions.
Is there anything you'd like to clear with the judges about your entries or any comments that you got?
Supa:
That's a joke btw, I'm being harassed by Emmy for these answers and so far I feel I'm being really boring.
Is there anyone else besides MMMinaj, that you thought should have been in the finale?
I would have loved if no one was banned or didn't submit on time. Just to see who would have made it to the top five, semi-finale, finale, etc. (It's still part of the game to submit and not get banned though, so who made it, earned it.) Obviously this is about to MiMi who I loved all her submissions and saw as a finalist from the beginning. But also Jax, I saw him easily being top 5 from the beginning (read: from the announced cast.)
I know you were on a lot of peoples top list, and many people had you pegged as the winner, was this an added pressure on yourself?
I'm late, I'm tired. (Matty her influence) I haven't been on atrl lately. But um, looking back, no? I tried my best and that's all I can do? I experienced a lot of growth during antm, I was just polished from the beginning so it seems like I took a nose dive apparently. I have something i just thought of here but I'll answer that in a few.
I know at one point you were talking to me and wanted to give up, you were often doubtful of yourself, do you think if you had more confidence you could have won?
Like, I just want to throw a shoe at you. Digging thirsty ass. This is a reunion tho, so imagine I did throw a shoe at you. (This about Emmy)
No. I don't think with more confidence I could have won. I'm always doubtful of myself in life, i easily start to panic over anything - but I still get **** done. In my post panic attacks and self doubt I manage to pull something together and because of that I know it's stronger and a better whatever it is, because it's well thought out. I'm tired and have no clue what I'm saying and how it reflects back to the game, but I'm sure it's in there.
OH, about winning. I don't think I could have won ANTM unless the other semi finalists didn't deserve to make it there. That sounds shady, but it's a compliment to the contestants, since i believe they earned how far they made it (and to MMMinaj on his victory), it's a slight jab to the set up of the game? I guess. I mean I was encouraged by Matty to join, even if it was just a small post, I just needed that to show that I could join, and even later on I saw Katie post that it was exciting to see old members join with new ones.
But in the end I didn't really get a good reason for losing. I'll site the thread challenge, where despite my thread being received well I got a speech that said that my quality of submissions had gone down and then that I wasn't really ever a standout and it shows now that there's few people. It seemed like such a reserve thing to say. Had nothing to do with my thread and was more fit for feedback for my previous visit to the bottom two. I took that slam, lbr for calling a peach a peach (I have no clue what the idiom is so take peach as filler and replace it for the right fruit or whatever it is), as prep to an already decided decision that I lost. I'm not saying that it was pre-decided, since it wasn't, but the mindset was there.
Even just saying the b0yonce thing makes this mindset apparent. Now going off topic, I have no clue who that (b0yonce) is. Never saw him post, I thought Edge was a legendary member since his first post, it's weird to see that in ANTM it's backward.
OH, am rambling because i want to have something interesting here for Emmy since i'm late and don't think I said anything compellingly controverse, shady or funny yet.
The smiley being a sign of already established/impact/whatever is a bunch of bull. A smiley means nothing. A smiley means you have balls or a friend and for me it means (I think) Katie is a really awesome person and asked for me. A smiley is just a PM, I never say that for the sake of whose PM box it is and because i don't want them spammed but Athens even recently said it. A smiley just makes newbies think I'm an important member until they realize i'm just another poster and then with my posts I make an impression, which I hope is positive and distinguishes myself past, "he has a smiley".
Established would have being a part of Sat's popularity contest thing in the lounge. And I'll say that Regina and MiMI both wouldn't have gotten the established card if they made it to the finale, and they both are too. Probably more than I am.
Is there anything else you would like to say?
My eyes heart.
Please realize how lucky you are. Appreciate life.
Don't support Brazil if the upcoming Olympics and World Cup, they're killing homeless children to make the streets look cleaner to tourists and don't care about the thousands of people that go missing in Rio because of human trafficking, corruption, and a variety of other reasons. In fact don't support the Olympics at all, they do this **** all the time, allowing countries to host when they have no regard to the basic rights of their citizens.
And ****, I hope everyone had as many questions (there was, like, 5 too many) and answered with long responses.
Ew, DTF is trash and the second worst song on TDDUP. I Adore U is flawless and the best song on there.
From best to worst
My Address Is Hollywood
Calling All Goddesses
I Look F**kin' Cool
DTF
Speak My Sex
Party
Hello, I Love You
I Adore U
Jump The Gun
Give Me Tonight
The Creeps
