The games been going for quite some time now and the reason why myself and other judges are stricter this time is because we have been asked to be. I respect every member that takes part because I know even I wouldn't be able to do it. Like all games, it's all in jest and I think all models know that. It is a bit of fun, and if any models does feel stressed out by the game they can drop out. If it isn't fun for them I wouldn't want to make any of them feel like they have to stay in game.

I tried to make this cycle of the game a bit different and harder because the previous 4 where all very similar. Either way, I know I won't be bringing the game back at all after this cycle, because I think the game has had it's day and I regret bringing it back time time around in the first place - just because it just doesn't feel right for TiBB anymore.

As for predicting the winner - I don't think, like other TiBB games, people vote on popularity in this game. The prime example of that is probably certain members who where deemed "popular" not making it very far last cycles, and cycles previous to that. In fact the first winner, Emilee, was very new to the forum when she won it.

I am glad that some people do still look at the topics and vote in the game, but appreciate the game isn't for everyone.

As for the "I think it's about time the host got outta his ass" to that I simply say ****.

Erm yeah I'm dropping out for two reasons.

Firstly cos of the camera breaking, I have another one but its not that good enough to take the "perfect photo on".

The second reason I wasn't gonna bring up but seen as though it seems to be an issue..

The whole Fom thing.. without trying to sound a sore loser he told me he didn't even ask to take part and was "specially picked" which seems kinda unfair. Also the fact that the host and the other judge seem to love him anyway..

And that he was given the only sport which doesn't require any props anyway.

I love Sia, but her being saved twice, not submitting a photo each time, when we lost two team members when they only failed to submit it once was a bit unfair. Making team leaders immune just seemed a way of keeping her in..

Finally, i think its horrible how Caitlin was treated and some other people. I know she put a lot of effort in, maybe it wasn't apparent in the photo, but still she didn't deserve any of the horrible comments she got.

A chav? That's just rude.

I didn't want to quit but it just seems a bit corrupt this time around.

popularity contest; see Kate vs. me.

If kate is meant to be me then.....

*slaps*
*runs off screaming*

I think Sam has it right.

no. final of tibbntm2 it was me vs. kate and i basically owned her ass every round and she asked people to vote for her to win on msn and ****. ****ing cow.

Oh...


fail :(
aww did she win? x

That's very unfair and corrupt.

I love you. :lovedup::kiss::hug:

she did indeed

I asked people to take part - I made no secret about it.

Oh come here sister :hug:

Guys don't give up the game.

Keep trying. You've all put in effort so far. I wouldn't be so sure the winner is obvious. You never know. Trust me.


:thumbs:

As for Shaun and Kate, I think personally she had the better photos anyway. But it was yonks ago anyway.

I'm not trying to ruin the game or anything, just replace me..
I quite like looking at the photos and stuff...
But i'll say one last thing.

I think in general the whole "models need to step up their game" is so unfair. Especially when we were given like two days just to take a photo, in the middle of summer too..

Its supposed to be a game... it just gets a chore otherwise.

Anyway ill say no more and good luck with the game. As I said i like looking at the photos and stuff and good luck to everyone.

After all you did finish 3rd and as the winner in the same cycle ha :wink: It's hardly predictable.

I never heard about you asking people to take part before Sam just mentioned it.

It all just seems a bit too much in the favour of Fom, he made no effort in his picture, apart from scribbling a line from a musical on his finger and screwing his face up a bit, yet he got glowing reviews.

It just looks very unfair.

I'd be very surprised if Fom won really, He's never won a contest when the forum votes even if he's one of the best in the game. Look at the last two singing contests.

I think the 'chav' comment was a bit uncalled for though, even though I think Billy's wonderful.

i suppose the u2u "you should have won" was a bare-faced lie then aaron ;)

:shocked:

Gawd, I love this forum. More, please.

I hope the game continues and plan to fulfil my responsibilities as a contestant. I don't find the comments offensive or anything, its all part of the charade of the game. I'm happy with how things are going bar this weeks theme which is just a joke, how the **** could anyone protray a sport without having the equipment related to the sport.

and the Fom thing, well idk, I don't think the game is fixed or anything but the fact he was asked specifically [im assuming there literally had to be other applicants, correct me if im wrong] and as a prize - how exactly was it a prize, we didn't benefit in the slightest. and then giving us a broadway theme when we all know how much of a theatre ***** he is. then giving him the only theme that didn't need equipment. like i said idk, its just weird.

ill conclude how i begun, i hope the game continues and have no plans to drop out, im perfectly happy in the game despite the afore mentioned points.

I had to BUY a candy cane ffs D:
LOL. jks i dont really mind.

Fom was asked to take part, as where some other models both this cycle and previous cycles. I've "searched" for models based on if they have contributed on other TiBB games, if they are regular in meetmembers etc. I got enough applications from newer members but from previous ntm I know that new members come&go and most of the new members chosen in previous cycles don't submit and go first week.

This weeks sports theme was actually taken from an episode of NTM, so it is possible. I've seen it done. Like all themes I handed the sports out randomly, and I dont for a second think Fom got the easiest one tbh.

I love how you wish to ontinue, but the game isn't looking to good atm Gary.

I'm sorry if what I'm saying is coming across in a spiteful manner, I think it is a good game and I would love for it to carry on, but this year some of the comments are harsh and the Fom situation what with him being asked instead of applying, being given the only theme that doesn't require equipment, and that he has more knowledge with the theatre is unfair. After looking at past cycles it is a great game, but only when it's not just criticism all the way, I think in some of the reviews you give you point out too many bad points and not enough good points. Also it should just keep to only applicants can take part.

I am trying to be constructive here.
