Tyria's Next Top Model - The Finale -- Winner: Jaden Stone!

Im online right now, Sill!!!

Woot, woot, yeah, for the final 6 that made it past the halfway mark, I personally think everyone achieved something in their own regards. Their "style" etc. etc. The last evaluation bugged me the most, because they asked what we thought out our signature was... and since it was our models, when they told me I was wrong, and that my signature shot isnt that... I was very hurt.

Its like when your mom tells you to cook whatever you want for dinner, and then yells at you after for saying that it wasnt what she wanted.

I guess Im just dumb ^.^

I may be anti-social normally, but I'll hang out with people in game if they wanna. I haven't been in game much lately, but if I'm around when you happen to be, shoot me a message or something. =P

i have been watching this competition since the beginning but this is intense. I liked all 3 of these models since the beginning but I don't know who I want to win. Good luck final 3!

Also, just wondering, can Cycle 1 contestants participate in Cycle 2.

Well, this last challenge sounds perticularly hard. I'm very much looking forward to the interview portion though.

As for the judges comments, I liked them from the drama aspect, but it was very hard to get good honost feedback for improvments. I felt a lot of the time I was getting contradictory statements from different judges or from challenge to challenge. All in All I've gotten a lot of useful feedback though, although I know for others, they didn't get nearly as much constructive feedback as I did. I was lucky.

For hurt feelings, all I can say is brush it off. This is a competition and there was bound to be hurt feelings, especialy in the "rate others photos" portion. I had prepared a graceful loser post for myself the other night because I was so sure I was gone. Can't take these things personaly even though I know we all put a lot of emotional effort into this.

This will be my last post as I no longer have access to a computer until my parts come in. I'll schedule a time as soon as I can.

noooooooo =[ (in general)

Il donate booze! Lol u2 are charity cases >.< Jk but Silhouette Nooo =[ /hug
Hope u get some time 2 cut loose and relax now.

And I hope u start feeling better - Lucozade is your friend =]

Trust me when I say, none of us on panel would ever want to hurt you guys! You guys are essentially what makes this thread so great! Without our contestants, we have no thread! I admit, some of the editing was a bit much, but i guess we just all got into the hype once we realize the suspense/drama in the editing was making the thread so interesting to view! You guys don't see alot of the comments/feedback I get from the readers, and I guess we just really wanted to create something more exciting for the fans to experience!

This is our "pilot" cycle, so we are picking up new things all the time, and we will definitely work them in our new cycles! Which we decided will be after the release of the fourth campaign, probably a month in like we did for this cycle. Hopefully, it will be announced soon! I'm guessing it will be in April? We'll see...

Yes, cycle 1 contestants are allowed to enter new cycles, but characters that were used already are officially retired from TNTM (unless we do a TNTM all-stars...of course its too early to do an all stars cycle, so don't expect one any time soon). And for the record, we will be more leniant towards newer applicants, cause we really want everyone to have a chance to participate!

I really, really, REALLY, want to start a TNTM Year book!!! But of course, it's been less than easy to get in touch with any of our past contestants. Depending on my efforts, we'll see how this project will work out!

Wow! I am surprised to see some of the emotions expressed by some contestants. I know I joke about "playing Barbie" with my Guild Wars toons (to the point that it takes me 15 minutes to pick hair for a PvP toon, tell that to 7 waiting Moa Birds' guildies who wanna GvG and are waiting on the resident carebear), but I don't think I've been as serious or emotionally intertwined as some of TNTM have expressed.

Well its just, kinda one of those things - I had gotten sooo used to doing this every week, and now its just gone. But, I am proud that I made it as far as I did, that shows me I can do something.

At any rate. I have another suggestion Nilene, Maybe since the fans enjoy the suspense aspect, you could continue to post evaluations as you do, but you could e-mail or PM longer more in depth evaluations to each contestant. I understand that suspense is needed, but that way the contestants could get better insight that way. And trust me, the better the insight the better you can do. A lot of times I was going out to do a shot and I had no idea what I had did wrong/right the week before. So I didn't know what i should aim for.

Anyways, I love the yearbook idea

Yeah, thinking about it now, its pretty crazy. TNTM was really stressful, specially on saturdays and sundays, GOD!! So yeah, Dansamy, its really one of those things where you have to participate to experience. Its all a game, yes yes, but a competition is still a competition, and being SO far into the game... its sort of become routine.

But really, I must admit, I learnt a lot. Just tonight, just randomly wandered around in Kamadan and took shots of people for fun.. using the random stuff we learnt and practised here... then I looked back at my OLD shots. AND WOW, what a difference. Ill post some later ^.^

So yeah... thanks for the process.

Yearbook >.< Laev better make the cover!

A Yearbook would be pretty fun. Looking forward to it.

The stress is still on for me for this week. Aaaaaagh! 10 hours time difference! Well... Lady Nilene, any of your 10 am times suit me fine, they'd be a nice 8 pm:ish here. Tuesday maybe, if nobody has picked it yet?

But yeah, I agree about the comments. I think I was lucky to get more in-depth comments from the judges (but I think that was mostly because my shots sucked). As soon as I started getting better, the comments got less helpful. There were times I would have wished for a little more insight, and times when I really didn't know what I could have done better.
Still, I understand that this is the first round, and I'm happy that it's gone this well. This is a big competition and the judges have probably never done something like this before, so it's understandable that the first round will have some problems. Despite all, I have to say this has been a great competition! Very much fun, and has always given me something to look forward to each week!

And Malefic, I'm sorry that you feel you got critiqued too much. I know I was one of those people who said pretty harsh critique... I didn't mean to hurt you, you've had some amazing shots during this competition that I've really admired! And you are such a nice person when I bumped into you earlier. I'm sorry if my comments hurt you so much. *hugs* Pleeeease don't hate me? I'll buy you a drink if we bump into each other again.

I was a bit hurt at some of the comments I got too, but I was kind of expecting it. Still, some models seemed to have the idea that I was up for elimination more than once? Nope, I was up for elimination just once, and after that I've had shots nearly steadily up in the top 3 or 4. Mediocre performance is rarely noticed though, so it kind of hurt me to have some models say that I hadn't improved at all or that I'd always been at the bottom end of the scale. Oh well... this is just a competition. Sometimes it can bring up lots of feelings either negative or positive feelings, but all in all it's still been great fun.
