You didn't even TELL me or Element anything at all. You just vanished and didn't submit a thing, which I thought was pretty rude because you could've just been like, "Hey, I can't do this anymore" especially since we've been friends on ATRL for a good while now. You at least owed it to me to tell me what was happening.

You went AWOL. What an insult to all the girls (and not just the top 5) that actually stayed and played. How dare you attempt to throw shade, Ms. Thing. Of all the All Stars and/or viewers how dare YOU! Edited August 13, 2020 by Bey_Rihstan

prézli Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I'm rooting for that member I named as a potential winner. Ha is still in. I like everyone in the top 5, so this season will have a good winner, finally.
dussymob Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Justice for @Guero @touya kinomoto I’m sure they would’ve liked to play.
touya kinomoto Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I would have loved to play but ngl the season has been so interesting from the sidelines.
Yvess Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 This season is definitely v inch resting and stress inducing lmao
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 @Bey_Rihstan @Buddy! @Staryu @Tom Vercetti @Yvess Welcome castaways to your 16th results show! The judges have all ranked your entries, which were anonymous, and I will now reveal their comments and rankings. After I reveal the scores, I will post the final results which will include how you ranked against all castaways with all the judges, and finally the overall rankings after this round. With that said, here it is…
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 1. The Mask Emoji Contestants Song Bey_Rihstan Sheryl Crow - Make It Go Away Buddy! Berlin - Take My Breath Away Staryu Beyoncé - Fever Tom Vercetti Young the Giant - Cough Syrup Yvess Gloria Estefan - Put On Your Mask Astro 1. Gloria Estefan - Put On Your Mask 2. Sheryl Grow - Make It Go Away 3. Berlin - Take My Breath Away 4. Beyonce - Fever 5. Young the Giant - Cough Syrup Comments: Gloria’s was a kii and really on the nose, Sheryl’s was really nice to listen to, Berlin brought me be back to goddamn Top Gun for no reason other than being a stale joke, Fever was fine, and Cough Syrup was… A choice, to say the least. Clue 1. Sheryl Crow - Make It Go Away 2. Gloria Estefan - Put on Your Mask 3. Beyonce - Fever 4. Berlin - Take My Breath Away 5. Young the Giant - Cough Syrup Comments: Immediately, “Make It Go Away” was the most solid pick for me. I took points away from “Put on Your Mask” for being lazy imo. “Fever” and “Take My Breath Away” both felt weird since they’re about love and ecstasy and the emoji looks like it’s someone in pain. “Cough Syrup” made no sense to me. Dylan 1. Berlin - Take My Breath Away 2. Sheryl Crow - Make It Go Away 3. Gloria - Put On Your Mask 4. Beyoncé - Fever 5. Young the Giant - Cough Syrup Comments: Take My Breath Away made me laugh so hard. These were all pretty good. Sheryl’s song was a cool take and Gloria’s song was made for this. Fever and Cough Syrup were both good but happened to be my least favorites of the bunch. Supaspaz 1. Gloria Estefan - Put On Your Mask 2. Beyoncé - Fever 3. Sheryl Crow - Make It Go Away 4. Young the Giant - Cough Syrup 5. Berlin - Take My Breath Away Comments: Well, Dr. Estefan didn’t lie! I’m kind of offended you submitted a Beyoncé cover rather than the Peggy Lee original, but “Fever” is a good fit. Don’t hold anyone tight during this pandemic! “Make It Go Away” is lovely, though it doesn’t resonate as much if you don’t know the inspiration for the song. “Cough Syrup” and “Take My Breath Away” are both good jokes, but the connection isn’t there much beyond the title. R1 Rankings 1. Yvess 1.75 2. Bey_Rihstan 2 3. Buddy! 3.25 3. Staryu 3.25 5. Tom Vercetti 4.75 Yvess pulls into first place in round 1!
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 2. The Mountain Emoji Contestants Song Bey_Rihstan Usher - Moving Mountains Buddy! Fleetwood Mac - Landslide Staryu Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough Tom Vercetti Josh Garrels - Steadfast Yvess Miley Cyrus - The Climb Astro 1. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide 2. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough 3. Miley Cyrus - The Climb 4. Usher - Moving Mountains 5. Josh Garrels - Steadfast Comments: I love Landslide, it’s one of my favorite songs of all time. Ain’t No Mountain is pretty up there for me too. I went back and forth with Usher and Miley because both felt like a nice 3 for me, but the last one was always gonna be dead last when going up against these four. Clue 1. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough 2. Miley Cyrus - The Climb 3. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide 4. Usher - Moving Mountains 5. Josh Garrels - Steadfast Comments: These were TOUGH. I had to go off of personal preference with the emoji + the song lyrics for this great batch of songs. Dylan 1. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide 2. Marvin & Tammi - Ain’t No Mountain High Enough 3. Miley Cyrus - The Climb 4. Usher - Moving Mountains 5. Josh Garrels - Steadfast Comments: Landslide was the first song I thought of as well as Ain’t No Mountain. The Climb fits very well lyrically. Moving Mountains is great as well. The other song was good but just fell to the bottom in comparison to these CLASSICS. So far, everyone’s on point. Supaspaz 1. Fleetwood Mac - Landslide 2. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough 3. Usher - Moving Mountains 4. Miley Cyrus - The Climb 5. Josh Garrels - Steadfast Comments: These are very strong selections across the board, so this is a tough one. I have to go with legend “Landslide” first, because she literally climbs a mountain and turns around. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell also sing about an actual mountain. And while metaphorical, the mountains in Usher’s song are central to the theme. Then you’ve got “The Climb,” where there’s always going to be another mountain. So that just leaves poor Josh Garrels, whose track is an inspired interpretation of the theme, but simply can’t compare. R2 Rankings 1. Buddy! 1.5 2. Staryu 1.75 3. Yvess 3 4. Bey_Rihstan 3.75 5. Tom Vercetti 5 Overall Cumulative Rankings 1. Buddy! 2.38 1. Yvess 2.38 3. Staryu 2.50 4. Bey_Rihstan 2.88 5. Tom Vercetti 4.88 Have a tie for the top spot, but immunity is still up for grabs!
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 3. The Eye in Speech Bubble Emoji Contestants Song Bey_Rihstan Tame Impala - Elephant Buddy! The Police - Every Breath You Take Staryu Britney Spears - When Your Eyes Say It Tom Vercetti Grimes - Oblivion Yvess Barenaked Ladies - I Saw It Astro 1. The Police - Every Breath You Take 2. Britney Spears - When Your Eyes Say It 3. Grimes - Oblivion 4. Barenaked Ladies - I Saw It 5. Tame Impala - Elephant Comments: Cackling at the “I’ll be watching you” line and thinking of the emote because it makes it so much more funny to me. Britney’s is pretty on the nose despite being… That. Grimes was decent as was Barenaked, and I got nothing on Tame. It just doesn’t work for me. Clue 1. Tame Impala - Elephant 2. Britney Spears - When Your Eyes Say It 3. The Police - Every Breath You Take 4. Grimes - Oblivion 5. Barenaked Ladies - I Saw It Comments: “Elephant” was so genius for this emoji, I was taken aback by it. Kevin’s watching this guy’s moves and talking **** about him. The Britney song was another brilliant, more on the nose pick. Dylan 1. The Police - Every Breath 2. Britney - When Your Eyes 3. Tame - Elephant 4. Grimes - Oblivion 5. Barenaked - I Saw It Comments: Every Breath You Take was so so perfect. Britney’s song SUCKS but it works well. I liked Elephant’s risk but I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to. Grimes was okay and the Barenaked Ladies song was just very minimally related despite the title. Supaspaz 1. Britney Spears - When Your Eyes Say It 2. The Police - Every Breath You Take 3. Grimes - Oblivion 4. Barenaked Ladies - I Saw It 5. Tame Impala - Elephant Comments: “But when your eyes say it/That’s when I know that it’s true/I feel it.” Ahhhh, my ****ing fave! Brilliant album track, brilliant pick. “Every Breath You Take” has exactly the creepy Big Brother is watching vibe that the emoji suggests. “Oblivion” is the other side of the coin — the paranoia of a woman who fears being stalked and assaulted. “I Saw It” has at least an obvious connection in the title, which is more than I can say for the Tame Impala track. R3 Rankings 1. Buddy! 1.75 1. Staryu 1.75 3. Bey_Rihstan 3.5 3. Tom Vercetti 3.5 5. Yvess 4.5 Overall Cumulative Rankings 1. Buddy! 2.17 2. Staryu 2.25 3. Bey_Rihstan 3.08 3. Yvess 3.08 5. Tom Vercetti 4.42 Only 0.08 separate the top 2!
Staryu Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 I'm sure the judges will tank my creative rat emoji pick last but I love Ratatouille
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 4. The Game Die Emoji Contestants Song Bey_Rihstan Lonnie Donegan - Gamblin Man Buddy! Katy Perry - Waking Up in Vegas Staryu Katy Perry - Roulette Tom Vercetti Elvis Presley & The Jordainaires - Viva Las Vegas Yvess Hot Rush - Roll the Dice Astro 1. Lonnie Donegan - Gamblin Man 2. Hot Rush - Roll the Dice 3. Katy Perry - Roulette 4. Elvis Presley & The Jordainaires - Viva Las Vegas 5. Katy Perry - Waking Up in Vegas Comments: For the most part, these were all very much on theme. I always think Vegas when I think of a red die, but I will say the others are more on theme for me than the Vegas songs. Clue 1. Katy Perry - Roulette 2. Lonnie Donnegan - Gamblin Man 3. Hot Rush - Roll the Dice 4. Elvis Presley & the Jordanaires - Viva Las Vegas 5. Katy Perry - Waking Up in Vegas Comments: “Roulette” is literally what I thought of as soon as I saw the emoji. The Vegas songs felt weak. Dylan 1. Lonnie - Gamblin Man 2. Katy - Roulette 3. Hot Rush - Roll the Dice 4. Elvis - Viva Las Vegas 5. Katy - Waking Up in Vegas Comments: I wanted to stan Waking Up in Vegas but it really did end up being the worst choice here. Gambling Man was perfect. Roulette worked way better than I thought it would but I’ve also never listened to Witness in full so what would I know? Come through google, Hot Rush! Elvis was cute. Katy was also cute. Supaspaz 1. Hot Rush - Roll the Dice 2. Katy Perry - Roulette 3. Lonnie Donegan - Gamblin Man 4. Elvis Presley & The Jordainaires - Viva Las Vegas 5. Katy Perry - Waking Up in Vegas Comments: These are all pretty on the nose, so I have to go with the song that bases its entire premise around the emoji. I was going to complain that there are no dice involved in roulette! But Katy mentions them repeatedly anyway, so I guess that’s her problem, not yours. Bless you for making me listen to a Witness album track for the first time since 2017. As for the rest, Las Vegas didn’t feel quite as thematically apt as gambling, man — though I gave Elvis some bonus points for specifically mentioning rolling dice, which Katy didn’t do. Too bad, because “Waking Up In Vegas” is still one of her very best moments! R4 Rankings 1. Bey_Rihstan 1.75 2. Staryu 2 3. Yvess 2.25 4. Tom Vercetti 4 5. Buddy! 5 Overall Cumulative Rankings 1. Staryu 2.19 2. Bey_Rihstan 2.75 3. Buddy! 2.88 3. Yvess 2.88 5. Tom Vercetti 4.31 Staryu pulls out in the lead with one more round left!
rl231 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 5. The Rat Emoji Contestants Song Bey_Rihstan Kelly Price - Friend of Mine (feat. Ronald Isley & R. Kelly) Buddy! Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do Staryu Camille - Le Festin Tom Vercetti Hall & Oates - Maneater Yvess Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar Astro 1. Kelly Price - Friend of Mine (feat. Ronald Isley & R. Kelly) 2. Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar 3. Hall & Oates - Maneater 4. Camille - Le Festin 5. Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do Comments: I mean… Kelly Price worked the best. The rest were, for the most part, meh, but Look was completely wrong. She built a whole image and album theme with snakes and you send that… For a rat? Girl, no. Clue 1. Kelly Price - Friend of Mine (feat. Ronald Isley & R. Kelly) 2. Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar 3. Hall & Oates - Maneater 4. Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do 5. Camille - Le Festin Comments: This was the weakest batch of songs for me. But maybe it also wasn’t the easiest emoji? Dylan 1. Fat Ass Kelly Price - Friend of Mine 2. Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar 3. Camille - Le Festin 4. Hall & Oates - Maneater 5. Taylor - Look What You Made Me Do Comments: Kelly Price was the only song I loved in this batch tbh. Beautiful Liar worked decently enough. The Ratatouille song was at least funny. Didn’t love the Hall & Oates selection. Look What You Made Me do felt like a total misfire given its association with snakes. Supaspaz 1. Kelly Price - Friend of Mine (feat. Ronald Isley & R. Kelly) 2. Beyoncé & Shakira - Beautiful Liar 3. Camille - Le Festin 4. Hall & Oates - Maneater 5. Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do Comments: Culturally, rats symbolize betrayal, and that seems to be where most of you went with this emoji. Kelly Price really dragged that cheating ho for filth on “Friend of Mine” and I respect that. “Beautiful Liar” follows in the same vein. The Ratatouille song made me cackle. Sure, why not? When it comes to man-eating beasts, a rat is certainly not the first — or twentieth — animal I think of. “Maneater” honestly might have worked better with the eye emoji for me. “Look What You Made Me Do” was unfortunately a bad choice. Sorry, it’s canonically a snake song, and as Sue Hawk once said, Mother Nature intended for the snake to eat the rat in the end. Not this time. See the final rankings are below... Spoiler R5 Rankings 1. Bey_Rihstan 1 2. Yvess 2 3. Tom Vercetti 3.5 4. Staryu 3.75 5. Buddy! 4.75 So...who has won individual immunity for this round? Spoiler Overall Cumulative Rankings 1.
