I removed it since yes, I say all fit the theme! ^^;

I guess a note for future models is if it says ~80% of something...aim for 80% of it or more. xD The email I sent out said "at least 80%" but I didn't think anyone was lacking so much crystal as to actually be disqualified. ; ;

Ah well, voters gonna vote! judges gonna judge! and models gonna model! xD

I think it should be removed, I mean they were all approved by you!
Don't wanna be judged for what people think is omg<80%crystals, but instead of how a picture looks~
Like a screenshot contest!!! OMG!!!

What's done is done but in the future, I'd steer pretty clear of doing this sort of thing MID VOTING. I'm sure as some models aided to the rules and it's possible they sent in screenshots that were much higher crystal count, just to meet the crystal % required (meaning a model could have had a different shot but choose not to submit it because of the ~80% that was mentioned in the email). A few slipped by, which are clearly not 80% but they were approved on the judges based on their evaluation which is fine, ultimately you have that call. But when the 'voters' are actually evaluating shots and have already clearly stated that Yunie's/Tinsley's was not picked because lack of crystal- and then the judges go and remove a text. While it may not be the case it leans towards judges bias towards certain contestants, because they were clearly not getting votes from some users (including myself) because of the statement that was posted. Voters should be voting on not just aesthetics but also what the models had to come up with under restraints. It's exactly what NTM does in many of their immunity/special prize rounds do.

TLDR; Rules really shouldn't be changed AFTER models have submitted their shots. Because that can drastically change the results of what pictures they submit.

Have to agree there...
I wasn't paying much attention but it doesn't look like it was fair for the rest, not cool
