Sorry for the mix up! We re-evaluated your picture and rescored where necessary! So you can be assured what you get is based on the submission you posted!

I'm slightly offended by that, nobody will ever know how much we farm/sacrifice for our prizes, no one will know how long we deliberate, no one will know how much time and effort we put into this project. But everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm not sure why you said that, but to each their own. I've heard it all, from omg you guys are biased, to omg this contest is rigged, to downright this contest is stupid. All I can say is if you don't like the thread, you don't need to be part of it, I'm not forcing anyone to participate/read my thread.

All I can say is now that I'm kinda put in this similar situation, I will never yell at the tv when Tyra eliminates someone I like or give her crap about how that was unfair and so and such...lol, for all you ANTM'ers, the new season of ANTM does begin in February 28!!!

Their fashion destination for Cycle 8 is TOTALLY Brazil. lol I have no doubt about it...but of course I could be wrong...so far they went to Paris, Milan, Tokyo, South Africa, London, Thailand, and Barcelona. I really have a good feeling they're going to Brazil for this season!

Anyways, yeah! I'm Excited about the results too! lol I cannot wait till this competition reach the ending and find out who wins!!! Originally when this started, I pegged Burnout Chic / Catherine Divine / Naga Xaviera as the top three, but apparently, that's not gonna happen lol and I still have no idea who will win! I'm as much on edge as anyone else (who's interested anyways) lol

Maria The Princess · Jan 28, 2007, 06:56 AM // 06:56

^.^ I will not spoil the fashion destination for you then.

As for my predictions from the start... I pegged Burnout Chic/Jaden Stone/Catherine Divine for top three. But now, I'm here to take up Catherine's spot, muhaha.

Will you be doing this like in the show? Where its top three... and then you get 1st, 2nd and 3rd? Or will you take 1 week to eliminate the 3rd place... then one more week for the final two? I personally think choosing the winner from top three is FAR more exciting... but im sure you judges already have something in mind.

Not biased? hmmm......Fooled me there.

It was not intended as a flame as per you took it. It was intended that maybe you all should look into things more. For example, very similar poses being used by contestants in almost every single shot, same emotes etc.

Jaden Stone · Jan 28, 2007, 07:38 AM // 07:38

Oh, sigh of relief my shot got straightend out. It may not help me from elimination but I'm glad I'm being judged on the shot I wanted.

Hard not to take this as a bit of an insult. This is going to start a horrible arguement and let's not get this thread shut down.

As for my top 3 finalists I had chosen Mortissia Faust, Summer Newmentz, and Katina or I from the begining. I must say I've changed my mind a bit from my first choices through out this competition, but they are all still here.

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 28, 2007, 07:46 AM // 07:46

Prediction wise, I had my self out of it a couple rounds ago. O.o

Laenavesse · Jan 28, 2007, 08:56 AM // 08:56

*cackles in glee* this will be exciting :3

LadyNilene · Jan 28, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

lol, everyone can feel how they feel...it wouldn't be the first time that was said, and i'm sure it wont be the last lol especially when we get to our finale... i mean, every season on ANTM....people fight over who should've won and what not all the time, I still think Eugena was robbed from ANTM Cycle 7,as well as Joanie from Cycle 6...even Keenyah/Kahlen from 4...um...Yaya totally should've won 3, April/Shandi 2...erm...Adrianne was my favorite for 1 so no problem there... but whatever lol...and speaking of our finale, as someone brought it up...

It is going to work like the show...there will be a top two in which our five votes will each vote on. Three will come from the judges, one will come from a poll somewhere(Anyone know any good online poll hosts?), and and the last one will go to someone who we predetermined who we can't reveal just yet lol so yes, there will be a photoshoot and an interview for top three which will eliminate one and determine top two which goes straight to the votes.

Geishe · Jan 28, 2007, 03:34 PM // 15:34

omgod, you scared me. everytime I see Ladynilene posting, Im thinking... RESULTS! Especially on a sunday >.<

Will voting be too much of a popularity contest? Judges I can understand... the secret person I can understand... but for online polls, some people just have an advantage over others in terms of guildies, friends, etc. Im sure you guys have something set, but im just wondering.. as always. One vote can make a big difference.

LadyNilene · Jan 28, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Here were how everything was scored....

Well in light of Jaden's re-evaluation...here are some comments that we're made and that you should take into account next time...if there is a next time....lol

Judge 1: Big improvement, Vast improvement, the background is still very pretty and you still manage to stand out.

Judge 2: I like the arch of your back and how it compliments the curve that the dragon's body have.

Judge 3: Looking at the close up, your pose still looks like ouch my back went out...and that angle makes your hips look massive.

Burnout Chic - 6, 5, 7 - 18
Jaden Stone - 5, 6, 4 - 15
Malefic Mistress - 2, 4, 2 -8
Mortissia Faust - 7, 7, 6 - 20
Perynne Walker - 3, 3, 5 - 11
Summer Newmentz - 4, 1, 1 - 6
Xo Katina Xo - 1, 2, 3 - 6

Which means Mortissia Faust and Burnout Chic with the highest scores, and Xo Katina Xo and Summer Newmentz with the lowest scores.

This week's MOTW is...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s/vol07jo4.jpg

Congratulations to our winner, as our MOTW this week, you get to make two decisions! First one, your prize for the week...you may choose one of two special prizes...

1. An in game prize of 5 Rainbow Candy Canes, 10 Peppermint Candy Canes, and 25 Wintergreen Candy Canes.

or

2. Complete immunity for the next round of competition.

Please get with me with your decision to your nearest convinience through whatever method you want.

We will get to your second decision later...

Now for eliminations...

Summer Newmentz - While some on panel felt that you we're trying to display something new for the judges, some felt that you completely gave up on the assignment and went for the safe...easy way out. So while some felt that being dead in a shoot was amazing, others felt being dead isn't going to liven up the judges.

Xo Katina Xo - You've produced some of the best shots this cycle, as well as some of the worst...we're not sure if there is potential in you, or if you just happen to luck onto a good shot...

The decision was difficult...but one has been made...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...inatedwe07.jpg

Congratulations to everyone who passed onto the second round as well as our eliminated contestant for making it this far!!!

As for our MOTW, you've been sent a private message in which you must respond to with your choices. After I get the response, we'll post Photoshoot Assignment 08!

mojave mango juice · Jan 28, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Oooh, I love the magazine cover

And grats to the MotW!

LadyNilene · Jan 28, 2007, 05:50 PM // 17:50

*points at Laenavesse* she does our covers, and does an excellent job as well lol, I really loved how this covered turned out.

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 28, 2007, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Bout time they saw through my constant half ass jobs... On to life. *waves at everyone*

xxSilhouette · Jan 28, 2007, 08:18 PM // 20:18

very very nice cover

Congrats on MOTW!!!

and eeks at my score. I dont know what to do, i tried to do something different and everyone hated it o_O. Heres to hoping i do something great again.

Sali Su and co. · Jan 28, 2007, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Awww, i really liked Summers last pic lol! Shame she went out on that one, however overall I've prefered Katina's photos so hmmm... >.>

Laenavesse · Jan 28, 2007, 09:30 PM // 21:30

*bows* thank you, thank you, glad y'all like the cover. It really was an awesome shot, and my boyfriend thought so as well and kept telling me to be sure that the Ritual Lord doesn't get covered xD

And I am doubly happy to be appointed as mag cover designer, though now that puts a little more pressure on me :x I hope everyone likes future mag covers to come

Also, congrats to Mortissa and sorry Summer =\ At least you got this far ^-^ Can't wait to see what the next photoshoot will be like :3

I wonder if we could pull everyone who was in the cycle at the end and lined them up in order they were eliminated (from left to right, first ones in back, winners in front) and have a giant photoshoot to make a sort of wallpaper/poster out of..hm...

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 28, 2007, 10:06 PM // 22:06

Eh I dont know if a group photo will work. Everyone has different time zones and I just have no urge to really play the game anymore.
