OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[EorzeasNTM]

I thought we already talked about how they were split up so that each race&gender could have a fair chance of making it into the official rounds. We now have 2 of each race&gender fighting for a spot in the top 16.

As for your other concern, I've already stated I am working on recording a Judging Panel podcast so that everyone can hear the judges opinions on the shots. I just got my laptop in, and I am scheduling a time with the other judges to record one tomorrow. -fingers crossed- I'm the only one who has seen the shots so far, and I wont give them the URL until the recording starts, so you'll be hearing their first reaction. ^^

As for Kaelah's situation, it's extremely unfair that she scored the lowest in both PR1 and PR2, but is still in the contest due to people dropping out. So, I will be watching her in PR3 very closely. I am being vague on purpose in that comment, sorry. ^^;

Edit: SQ, got it! Already replaced it a while ago.
Edit 2: I'm all about including everyone, so for this Cycle I took 40 people! Each Cycle is a learning experience though, so it's not a bad thing. Cycle 3 will be much smaller scale, with most likely only one PR round (the casting round) and only a Top 12.

! Judges podcast ! Sweet~ ever plan on having guest judges ?

Absolutely! I've already sent out an email to, I believe, all of the models from Cycle 1 asking them to join! All but Rena, Aila, and ... someone have replied "YES!!" so I can't wait to have them join the panel! ^^

@Kaelah, I hope people don't get mad! I am just really afraid of posting anything that will make people ragequit the contest. Only 2 of you have sent in your pictures for the Official Rounds...and 2 models does not a contest make! Lol!

You also have to remember that the PR rounds had 37 and then 30 models submitting photos. I, and neither do the other judges, want to sit here and type up comments for each one. Sorry, but that's the truth. Just like the people who don't want to go through and vote for 10 categories. Now that we've got the cast down to 16, I think it's much easier, and much more fair of you all to expect us to make comments.

I think i speak for all of us when i say i dont like to see any of us voted off and I am tickled pink that I have made it this far. From here on out it's all gravy for me

Im excited to see the next round of pictures and i want to just say to Rongi that i appreciate the work you are doing for this fun contest. I find myself enjoying the beauty in Eorzea much more now.

During Cycle 1 I kept saying "my girls" but I can't do that now can I? You are all "my models" and I hate seeing any of you eliminated! But that's the name of the game!

I wont pretend its a TON of work, but it's still a bit of work that I have been having fun doing! ^^ I am so glad this idea was successful! I want to say thank you to everyone for joining in!
