Well I sort of saw this coming in a way, so I'm not really upset at all. I've had a wonderful time doing this, it's been an amazing experience! My main goal was only ever to get accepted into the contest, and see the photo shoot list before the public saw, and I accomplished that goal lol

But I gained so much more though, through this experience, I gained an amazing sense of community from this place, as well as 3 amazingly new and wonderful friends I've grown quite fond of, Kai, Flare, and Iris <3 You guys are amazing!! And I expect to keep seeing amazing things from you Flare!!!! You're still in the running my good friend <3 I've been so impressed with the growth of every model in this competition so far, but none has impressed me the most as Adam sure has! Slated to be cut from the very beginning, only to have a second chance thanks to fate, Adam showed most that, given the chance, people can truly wow you in such amazing ways! I just want to say, even if you haven't won it yet Adam, Congratulations anyways!! You've done such an amazing job of show how wonderful of an effect this competition can have on people! ^.^ You keep improving dem Screenshot skills!

I've loved seeing all the models do such amazing work, and I've enjoyed seeing so many different views I never really knew existed in Eorzea!

I'm not going away any time soon! I'm just saying my goodbyes to you all as a model, but as a fan and a friend I'm here to stay ^.^

I would like to also give some feedback about the competition itself, now that I'm out of the running. I'm so very glad that next cycle, models will finally have a chance to give a few words regarding their concept in their pictures. I felt it somewhat unfair, that the judges seem to judge us based on our concepts at times, when they didn't even know our true concepts given we weren't allowed to present them with it. Another thing that sort of irked me at times, were the scores people would get for not following the theme of the shoot at the time, would get higher scores, then those who still did rather well and followed the theme as well. If there is going to be a theme, that should be part of the overall judging and scoring as well. Just because someone did a good photo vs. someone who did a good photo and followed the theme, shouldn't mean that the person w/ the "just good photo" would get a higher scoring, personally it just didn't make much sense to me, because I question then why even have a theme? If people not really following the theme get rewarded for well... not following it. None of this every really got me so upset though, I never wanted to leave the competition, but it very much made me question sometimes why should I continue, or just had me down a few times. I'm not trying to judge the judges or anything, just some concerns I personally had while going through this as a model and a competitor.

BEFORE any people try to debate me against my personal opinions about the competition itself. These are after all my opinions, and I'm not trying to bash or hurt anyone or the competition itself. I had a wonderful time and will continue to hopefully have a wonderful time as it goes on and even enters it's new cycle! I really don't want my thoughts and concerns be heard on ears, the same way it happened to other people leaving and expressing their concerns when leaving, because I felt some certain instances were not handled well at all. But I digress.

Anyways, I look forward to the rest of the competition, and the soon to be cycle 4 on its way as well!! I can't wait to see the epic conclusion of the YouTube Cycle as well! Rongi-Pongi (even if you are an Elezen, you're the cutest male Lala ever in my heart <3) I've quite enjoyed this amazing world and atmosphere you have brought to this game, and Tyriont thank you for being such a courteous and gracious host for me and my cycle (and always answering my questions and concerns!).

(Also, I would love to continue to participate in the future, so when it auditions or w/e for judges come around for cycle 4, let me know how and where I can try and be a part of that!)

I love you all so very much, and look forward to the things that are to come in the future for ENTM!!

[Noxifer]

Grats everyone! =D

(and noooo ;_; i don't want anyone to leave!)

[Corfish]

Not gonna lie, this week is super stressful for me, so I'm kind of happy I don't have to participate anymore. Start of a new semester, financial BS, the usual for college. Good luck to the remaining contestants, I'm looking forward to voting!

[Percimont]

Congratulations to those who advanced and condolences to those who did not. Everyone has done amazing work this cycle, and it's sad to see so many get cut at one time. I hope everyone considers running again in the next cycle!

[Kyri]

Aww don't forget! even if you have a weak week we still love you all and were all comrades in arms still! I won't lie i was a little sad when I was eliminated last cycle buti cant really complain when I made it so far because in the end I had a lot of fun, made some friends, and got to show off a lot of pictures I was really proud of!
(one of my favorites I took during my cycle but didn't end up using:


So sit back kick up your heels and relax, you earned it guys <3

[Adeline]

This cycle is ending really soon too :< its been such a blast :3 I'm super nervous about the next round... @_@



But with that I can't wait to see the new tryouts so I can take a seat and watch some new cuties walk the Runway C:
