The Person With Halo Emoji
1. Element - Glad you saw both sides to this emoji.
2. Bloomers - Friend turned evil dictator! Suits Taylor and the emoji.
3. Ares - "What we do is innocent, just for fun and nothing meant"
4. Golden - Yeah there's a darker side to this emoji so good on catching that.
5. Guero - Not this song. It works.
6. Ivory. - Something about this emoji is shady but this works literally.
7. T-Swizz - I like the song but the emoji doesn't seem this serious.
8. Rider - I don't know, this emoji is not that serious for me Phaedo.
9. Mariah4life - The emoji does seem like they have something up their sleeve but maybe not this.
10. dwuw - This one seems so off the wall Jorge.
Personally, I think this emoji is both dark and innocent. The best way to sum it up would be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Element truly captured that while Bloomers, Ares, & Golden did so in their own ways. Then there were the angel-like songs which were cute but less creative from Guero to Rider. Then finally, Mariah4life and dwuw were off base for this one. I didn't really get where you two were going.

I'll accept both interpretations, there were good and bad entries for both. Somehow the That's So Raven song wasn't the worst of the bunch... ? How does Bad Blood fit? It's straight up anger.

2. Ares - 3
3. Guero - Angel

7. dwuw - Run Away With Me
8. Mariah4life - Some Call It Magic
9. Bloomers - Bad Blood
10. Ivory. - Halo
Cowboy Casanova and 3 got that special feature of being kinda shady yet playfully innocent and that's what I see when I look at this emoji. Angel is more obvious yet the soothing sound of it is so peaceful that I couldn't help to put it high. Good Girl Gone Bad returns to the theme of the Top 2 but does that a bit weaker. From Blue to the Raven song, all of these tracks were so spiritual and calm and a full sip of peace. I liked the least obvious entries more but these were still good. Bad Blood could fit for the behind-the-scenes tea and all but the sound of the song and most of the sappy lyrics don't make it for me. For Halo, the biggest similarity with the emoji it's on the title. It has something of what I said of the 5-8 tracks but it's too damn emotional and struggle-ful.
9. Element - Ashley Tisdale feat. Lucas Grabeel - Fabulous
10. Mariah4life - Aqua - Barbie Girl
Dylan's Rank:
The Nail Painting Emoji
1. Element - Fabulous is the only way to sum up this emoji.
2. dwuw - I can see so many ghetto girls quoting this song on IG with this emoji.
3. Ivory. - All around the world pretty girls.
4. Rider - Retro Rider!
5. T-Swizz - It's different but I like it. Painting her nails as a diss-off.
6. Mariah4life - The emoji is pretty Barbie so this oddly fits.
7. Guero - The Nicki remix is less serious so I would have sent that but this works also.
8. Bloomers - It works but in a less fabulous way.
9. Golden - This isn't bad but I preferred the others for this emoji.
10. Ares - Well this song is more about being down to earth despite the title so it contradicts itself.
This emoji you all went down the fabulous route, some better than others. Element was my favorite as Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) defined that role in HSM. dwuw to Rider were very good as well. T-Swizz was different and I rather liked it. Mariah4life made his wacky choice work. Guero would have been higher but the original is more deep than the Nicki remix. Bloomers was sufficient. Golden just fell short compared to others. Ares didn't read between the lines of Glamorous.

All of these were actually pretty good! It came down to the attitude of the song. I'm not sure that Alicia Keys is capable of being sassy, and then obviously not Drake. On the opposite end of the spectrum, how much more perfect of a choice could there be than Fabulous? It's exactly what this emoji was looking for.

I wanna see diva-esque behavior type of songs for this emoji but some of you took a different route. SHARPAY of HSM slays this round! Fergie's glamorous is iconic. ***Flawless is damn good. I only disliked 3 songs this round.
Mario's Rank:

1. Element - Fabulous

5. Golden - This Is How We Do
6. Ares - Glamorous
7. Rider - Diamonds Are Forever
8. dwuw - Feeling Myself
9. T-Swizz - Karma
10. Guero - ***Flawless
This emoji sprinkles over the top fabulous to me so it's only natural that the mess coming from Sharpay Evans can't be anything but #1. The two that follows remains in this zone. Pretty Girls is still crap, tho. I didn't expect a rap song to fit but after I listened I was surprised at how it went well with the emoji. Talking about Fancy, I'm surprised no one submitted the Igloo song of the same name yet its copy is here. The following four songs still fit in the description of those shallow bops that bring your diva on but I feel like they're a little less spot on than the first three. Feeling Myself fits the emoji too but for its bragging use that's not as popular as for diva moments. Same for Karma but in this case I guess the emoji would be used for sweet revenge. ***Flawless is a bold song with a message so it's not easy for me to pair it with such a shallow emoji.
1. Ivory. - This was the first song I thought of.
2. Rider - Mess this sounds like something my country addict family would stan for.
3. T-Swizz - The clinking of the beers works so well with this. Creative.
4. Guero - Nicki's verse is iconic though Kreayshawn is still the better rapper.
5. Element - Drank.
6. Ares - I remember this track.
7. Bloomers - Not enough about alcohol.
8. Golden - Anthem but not really a drinking one.
9. dwuw - It's so juvenile like I can't picture Carly chugging a beer.
10. Mariah4life - You know damn well this is a mess.
Most went the party route but my favorites were Ivory. to Element. T-Swizz was the exception as I thought the friendship route was really creative. Ares & Bloomers were the last of the good choices. Golden & dwuw i just felt weren't that focused on drinking. Mariah4life was a mess as we all know her.

I tended to favor the entries that interpreted it as being about camaraderie in addition to drinking/partying. Cheers was the first song I thought of when I saw it, so awesome job there, Ivory. I feel like you're a bit of a dark horse!

It would be obvious that songs with themes of getting wasted on alcohol will be prioritized in picking an entry. However, I wanted to see songs that tackles friendship themes more than "lets drink beer yada yada" Swizz and dwuw got the entries that fits what im looking for. The rest had the generic idea of the emoji imo.

6. Bloomers - Good Life
7. Guero - Bottoms Up
8. Element - Swimming Pools
9. Ares - Blame It
10. Mariah4life - Thirsty
I AM SCREAMING at Thirsty. What a surreal choice! I guess, it would've been perfect for the nail painting emoji but I can't help but laugh seeing it paired to a couple of beers. Life for the day received. The type of songs I preferred for this emoji were the more slow-paced ones about having a hella good time with friends and giving no **** about the world. And You've Got a Friend In Me from the animation movie Toy Story just got this chill quality as the songs placed from 1st to 4th. The Good couple was in a middling position as they were beginning to become more club-oriented, that was the problem with the songs that follow, but were still fitting with the first category.
10. Mariah4life - Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate & Selma Blair - The Penis Song
Dylan's Rank:
The Gun Emoji
1. Golden - "I just shot a man down" sums this up.
2. Element - Rated R was so good. Smh.
3. Guero - You're so ghetto.
4. dwuw - The video is more so gun fitting but the song itself is so threatening.
5. Bloomers - There's a gun reference so why not?
6. Ivory. - Queen of rap.
7. Rider - This song gets me so pumped.
8. Ares - Cute interpretation, actually.
9. T-Swizz - How asian pop of you.
10. Mariah4life - Cameron is so iconic.
Rihanna was quite popular this round. Man Down (Golden) & Russian Roulette (Element). Guero snuck in there with his ghetto taste while dwuw rounded the Top 4 with BBHMM. Bloomers and Ivory. were threatening as well. Rider was cute but not my favorite though I love the song. Ares went a different route with the gun shot and it sort of worked. T-Swizz was pretty random and Mariah4life is a mess but some of their songs actually kinda work.

I didn't think anyone could beat Rihanna for this, but then M.I.A. came out of nowhere and did the "bad girl" schtick better than Rihanna... probably because M.I.A. actually is like a ****-all rebel and Rihanna is just a whiny wannabe hard ass. Some weird choices outside of those few; alliances aside, you all are ruining this game by not voting Mariah4life off the island. What a joke... ?!

Songs about getting yourself in trouble or giving others hell of a bad time. Everyone did well except the bottom two. I screamed at your choices. I just needed to commend T-Swizz for sending in RDR, You should have sent in the SNSD version but I still liked it.

Moo, the **** did you just make me watch? What even is this? I'm gasping for air! I'm not really sure if you were bored and couldn't find entries so you just decided to go on and troll. A mess! QUEEN Katie dominated all over this bitches. The baddest of them all. This emoji is all about the threaten, may it be real or just a joke, and I think the first six in placement all fit this in various degree. Man Down, Russian Roulette and Bang Bang, on the other hand, took more of a literal route for the challenge. They weren't bad but I was looking more for songs like in the first category.

1. Ivory. - Baby got back.
2. dwuw - Last time you saw a booty so good, it was on Jenny from the block.
3. Golden - Snapchat me.
4. Rider - How this wasn't taken until last minute is beyond me.
5. Guero - Nicki's verse on this is also great.
6. Element - Fergie is so great.
7. Ares - It works but it's less infectious than the other choices.
8. Bloomers - I wish it elaborated on that ass reference more.
9. Mariah4life - More about the v than the a.
10. T-Swizz - This isn't even about fruit regardless.
Well basically everyone went the ass route as that's what the emoji's context is besides the literal peach. I just ranked based off the most direct songs which were Baby Got Back, Booty, & Bootylicious. Then there was Anaconda & Dance (A$$) which worked nicely as well. My Humps isn't fully about ass so it fell a bit below the others. Back That Ass Up also worked but I just simply preferred the others. Peaches was cute but it needed more elaboration. My Neck, My Back is more about the V. Froot was messy since I'm pretty sure froot just means cool in some weird tumblr language.

Some of the lower scoring songs have the perception of being all about that bass, but in reality aren't (Anaconda, Bootylicious). The peach = fruit interpretation was obviously hit or miss for me, I loved the Snoop Dogg song because it's about ass and it also mentions peaches so it's perfect! I tried to get behind the Marina song, but it's not even about real fruit or ass, so I couldn't find a way to make it work. Sorry! The top 4-5 were great choices!

Everyone who knows the use of this emoji knows that it's all about that bass so sorry, Swizzle, but that's why I decided to put you last. Peaches N Cream was like the perfect song for this as it's the song version of our emoji, peaches mentioned and all. All that follows are songs fitting for the theme but I placed the ones talking in first person about the booty first as they sounded more fierce and convincing.
Congratulations, Ivory! Thank Sebas for quitting as you wouldn't have won immunity without him. Regardless, you were very close to the top without the boost and did a great job this round! You are immune at this upcoming Tribal Council.
I'm so over at some of these rankings, though. Some of y'all wanted LITERAL exemplifications for the emojis and others wanted it not too black and white? Like.. damn. Bootylicious was the best song for the Peach round. When will y'alls songs make dictionaries?
Below will be the normal stats I display every round, only obviously tribe ranks are now nonexistent so it will only include the current round rank as well as the overall rank.
Then Tribal Council will commence as usual which all 10 of you will be attending.
Congratulations Ivory. on your first Individual Immunity of the season.
Ivory. is immune from elimination this round. However, the other 9 of you are up for elimination this Tribal Council. Send me a vote with the name of your choice for elimination after deliberation. Immunity Idols may be played but remember you must PM me before elimination or they are invalid. Good luck at your third Merge Tribal Council. One of you will become the fourth member of the Jury.
NOTE:
1. Element receives one auto-vote against him this Tribal Council as a result of the Get A Grip challenge.
2. Golden gets to vote twice this Tribal Council as a result of the Get A Grip challenge.
3. Ares has lost his ability to vote this Tribal Council as a result of the Get A Grip challenge.
