Tough week to really differentiate yourself from a group photo without ruining the overall cohesiveness, but some of you managed to do it really well and you did so in a way that didn't overpowering the group photo, yet my eye was drawn to you. Well done! https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/88 Jane Sprite KaliMinaj Overall your album cover is clean (well maybe not your songs). When doing a group shot you have to think about balance, and I think you did that well with your poses. The styling is consistent and I sort of love the only color that we see is Jane’s awesome hair. My only thoughts to make this a bit better would be if you had just slid Kali over a bit to the left, and then had Sprite lift herself up a bit to create more levels in the image. Kali, your pose in general could be a bit stronger. Jane > Sprite > Kali Brat lluckygc GatoPisado It’s a cute shot. Obviously, the styling is all consistent and the posing is decent. I think the thing that trips me up is the cropping is so far away I would like to be able to see your faces more without zooming in. Gato, even though you are standing up tall and are in front of Brat, and llucky is kneeling, you still look super short. I think if you had added some angle your pose like a bend in the back a bit (see Jane but not that extreme) you would balance the photo out better. Overall the album cover is good, but something is just missing for this to pop in the overall modeling. Brat > lluckygc > GatoPisado Medusaluh Manyomash missKant There is a certain symmetry with this photo that is working. The outfits do blend in with the background and in some ways I like that, but in other ways it sort of washes you all out. I’m not in love with this photo, but I don’t hate anything about it either. I would like to see a version with styling that wasn't so similar to the background to see if that made it pop more. I can't articulate it, but nothing just pops. I think what it could be is that with a group shot, you still want to be recognizable, and with the styling being SO exact, it loses some individuality to it. You all end up looking too similar. Medusaluh > Manyomash > Misskant Akaliuchis Maris Antog I think I like this as a photo the best. Is it the best album cover? Maybe not. But I like the modeling that is going on here. The movement created by all of you and the balance between you three is great. You each bring something to the photo. Akaliuchis I can’t support the open hands, but otherwise I really enjoy what is going on. Maybe the styling and background could have been a bit more impactful, but the modeling in this photo for me is the best in the group. Antog > Maris > Akaliuchis (only because your hands) Ranking by photo: Antog Maris Akaliuchis (based on modeling) Jane Sprite Kali (overall probably the best cover for me) Medusaluh Manyomash missKant (safe) Brat lluckygc GatoPisado (had potential and Icould see how some might rank this the best, but for me the far out crop really hurt this one) I’m not sure how the judging is officially going to happen, but I think top individual is either Medusaluh, Jane, or Antog for me.

#GoomyGiftGiveaway Whoever can comment the best idea for next week's gift giveaway on this blog will win the gift for this week. I don't mind repeated an idea I have already done, but I would like to have some legit fun things to do to help me decide how to gift someone. Thanks in advance!

For this weeks gift blog. HELP!

I need to watch someone play who scores more than 5K. Not just a screen share, I have seen that. I want to see how you actually use your fingers to hit the buttons and guide the ball. I can't get the hang of it no matter what I do and I know the pattern of the movement I just can't keep the ball from falling.

Normal game where I had to go into every elimination or have POV in order to win. As much as I don't like feeling like the outsider in a game, it is always nice to win that way! https://www.kovaze.com/arena/15303

This was a tough week overall I think. There were some great photos, but a lot of photos that had good intention but lacked the execution. https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/82 Maris: This photo is a step up from last week, but still there is nothing that really jumps out at me as super strong, but nothing that is majorly wrong either. The face is strong, but I’m not sure of the emotion you are portraying. It looks to me like you have an evil secret, which given you have 3 lovely men fawning over you actually works, but I wish you had just pushed this theme a bit further. Jane: Having worked with this theme I know how hard it was to get 4 people fully in a frame so I can see why you had them sit and you stand as a central focal point. I actually love the styling choices, but it’s giving duck duck goose vibes the way they are sitting. Maybe having them kneel or something would have been better, but you look fantastic in the photo. Cristi: This is a very cute photo. You do look flirty but in a very commercial way. I would have liked to see something a bit more dynamic here. I will say doing a red dress with that purple hair was going to be tough and I think you managed it well by having it tied up and not touching the dress at all. I do think you could have styled this with a nice necklace to put something between the dress and hair. lluckygc: Very commercial. The trouble with sitting poses facing directly to the camera is you look short and you can’t display the gown well. I think if you had sprawled out on that couch and given us something a bit edgy in the face this would have been a great photo. Brat: I like the story you are telling in this photo. There is a lot going on but you still have the focus. I don’t particularly like the smoking but I see how it adds to the story. Small thing but I wish the head of the rose was tilted against your skin as a background because right now its blending in with the dress a bit too much. Good photo overall! Medusaluh: I like that you did something different. Unfortunately you hand looks very disconnected in the image and you have two thumbs. If I ignore that blunder, the rest of the photo is fun and stands out among the group which was difficult with how particular the brief was this week. Sprite: I see the vision, but honey the execution took a flight to Kovazia. My main issues with the photo are with your body proportions. The way you sit makes your hip and shoulder look massive and almost disconnected from your body. Also you lose all shape and the dress gets very bunched up. I wish you had caught some of those details because this could have been atop photo with the rest of the stylistic choices you made. MissKant: Ok so now I see what’s happening here. Its very much so a Jaylyn sleeps with a night light situation going on (IFKYK). With that said I do like the choices you made stylistically and the pose is better than most. The model’s hand on your leg is backward which I can’t seem to not notice, But I do sort of enjoy the detail that all these men seems to be married….. GatoPisado: Again, I know how hard this photo was to get things to be realistic, but you are completely eliminating the model in the middle’s legs. Now, I’m not an ableist maybe he doesn’t have legs, but having his shoes poke out from the dress would help. Speaking of shoes, I would have like to have seen at least one of yours. You lose you other leg behind your front leg. I like the idea here, but I think you needed some additional refining. KaliMinaj: not as strong as last week, but I do enjoy the photo. You look stunning, but careful with you knee pointed directly to camera that always makes your leg look shorter. Maybe a necklace works here? I also don’t like the model in the back’s hands for some reason. Otherwise, it’s a good photo. Antog: I like how you played with the lighting and dimension having the models at level with you and one below. It does add some dynamic elements to the photo. Your ace got a little cartoony but I think mostly because you are being backlit. If you had moved the light source forward the light would be hitting you from the front rather than behind and that would have helped. Akaliuchis: I like how you are interacting with the models in this shot. There is movement, emotion in your face, and a certain poise in this photo. I do wish your foot wasn’t blocking your other foot. Also, where can I meet those triplets? Asking for myself. Manyomash: The proportions are just slightly off, but I think this might be the best photo of the week. The pose and interaction with the other models is great, and the theme and styling was done well too. Because you have a mask, your face is losing some of the expression I need, but the body language and mouth still tell the story well. The hair is getting a bit disconnected again just watch that if you choose another ponytail styling. My Rankings: Manyomash Akaliuchis MissKant Brat KaliMinaj Jane Maris GatoPisado Medusaluh Cristi Antog Sprite Lluckygc

I feel like ballon scoring needs a bonus for 100% accuracy on each page of balloons like Zoo had for 5 in a row. Like if you can clear a page without making a mistake then you get a bonus 5-10 points. I think it would make it less spam clicking. Its a super cute game I but I think the scoring could be tweaked.

The addition of weightlifting back into the rotation will be the beginning of the end for me. No matter how many times I play it I cannot get the feel for it and I see others do it and the sensitivity setting on the touches have to be dramatically different. I tap once and it flies off my screen no saving it.

#GoomyGiftGiveaway I did a blog post where I asked people to comment something they thought might make me laugh, and I have decided that the winner of the gift this week is...... AngieKstan THanks to all who commented. Angie let me know what you want from the shops and I'll buy it!

Some interesting difficulties in the judging today. I found it hard to rank the photos because some I liked but do think the judges may score low because of not matching the requirements enough.... https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/80 Maris: Not your strongest entry. The track suit is giving Katy Perry in space. You rock that bob but the facial expression is so similar to last week I would love to see more versatility in the upcoming weeks. Jane: There is that hair I was hoping to see last week. I also love the choice to add a heal to the look, I was wondering if someone would take it there. You pointed that leg toward the camera which does make it look short, but somehow you managed to keep enough length to look OK. Good photo overall. Cristi: Well the hair is my all time favorite hair, and the overall styling of the look is good, but I wonder if you had changed the color of the seats if that would have helped the composition of the photo. Also, I’m not sure if the outfit is track suit enough for the judges, but I like it. lluckygc: This is a cute photo. Its not high fashion or editorial, its very Instagram. I don’t dislike the photo, but its safe, and as you get further in the competition safe won’t cut it. You will want to study up on some high fashion looks and poses to enhance your future photos. Also this pose makes you look very short. Brat: styling is great to match the street theme, but I do think the judges will hit you for the jeans. I do enjoy you took a risk with the pose to make it stand out from the other girls, but the way the jacket is falling eliminates all shape and it's also not really being displayed well. Also, why is there a small fire behind you like go put it out before you burn your weave. Medusaluh: I enjoy you in this photo a lot. The styling is good, your look is very high fashion here. My issue is the background not exactly making sense with the model/styling. It looks like you are watching an old time gladiator fight but there’s a modern day business women taking calls directly behind you? The good news is you have a strong enough pose and look to make me notice all the weird stuff going on AFTER I notice you, but those fine details will be what eliminated models late in the competition, so tighten it up! Bubba: the angle at which this photo is taken makes me almost dizzy. If I try to ignore that fact, you look good and I enjoy the pose and styling. I think you could do more with the face here, but overall it’s a decent photo. Sprite: very on brand for you, but I fear the judges may not like this ‘track suit’. The overall composition of the photo is great, and the face is stunning, but I am not a huge fan of the bottom leg in your pose. You are squishing the healed boot (which I love by the way) and it's just positioned at an odd angle. Minor thing, but those things will matter as the competition heats up! misskant: although there is nothing outstanding about this photo, it all somehow comes together to work for me. The track suit is well designed, the look is good, the pose is alright, the shoes can be burnt and never seen again, but you get major points because those look like the stands at Wimbledon. Overall safe photo this week. GatoPisado: This is giving Justina Valintine vibes which I’m not exactly sure is a good thing. With that said, I love the track suit design, and the orange hair paired with the pink clashes in the best way. I think the purse could have been taken out, and if that bottom leg had that knee pointed inward a bit more so we didn’t get quite as much vag in this shot, this becomes a top photo for me. KaliMinaj: body looks hot, pose makes you look very long, usually photos from this angle would make you lose neck but you are giving us some good extension there. The foot is sort of floating and a bit too close to frame so it does kind of pull focus, I would have loved to see what this looked like with a stiletto. Overall lovely photo and I anticipate another top 5 placement here. Antog: a significant improvement from last week. Way to not get lost in the pack. The styling is good, I like the pose, and the added graffiti was a nice touch. I do wish the light that is catching your hair was catching your face a bit more, and the chain necklace is half under the hood half over which is possible but slightly distracting, but overall I really enjoy this photo! Akaliuchis: The track suit being a velvet fabric I enjoy and is different than the other models. I enjoy the color because it compliments the hair and the background seat color pulls well together. I do wish I could see your other leg fully in frame, and your eye make up in the lighting makes them look closed. I think with some minor fixes there this would have been a great photo. Manyomash: I like the styling of the track suit and sports bra look. I also love the hair and accessories. I have one minor issues with the photo. The hair getting cut off by the collar looks a bit unnatural/strange. It’s the first thing my eye was drawn to. I think if you had brought the hair forward more and put it over the collar that might have been better. My rankings Antog KaliMinaj Sprite (judges may have you much lower for not matching the brief) GatoPisado Jane Medusaluh manyomash missKant Cristi Bubba Akaliuchis Lluckygc Maris Brat (not because I don’t like the photo but I do think the judges will hit it hard for not matching the brief)

Royale isnt the vibe. I offered my services to help people kill whoever they wanted (with the exception of maybe a few off limits for me) and then allow them to kill me for the rest of my items and no one took me up on it. I was being 100 percent serious about it cuz I need sleep.

Considering when I joined this game I had no alliances, only got added to a chat late, and wasn't even planning to stay up at night, I am so proud of my runner up finish and Melodrama you really earned that win and I'm proud of you! Thanks to all those who helped along the way! sobriquet for killing like half the cast Icebeast for letting Jacob and I duke it out at the end! Casinocheese for being a total champ and letting me kill you for your items when you had to go! And a lot of others too! This was my favorite game so far even though I wasn't really feeling like I had any shot to go deep at all. Now I need a nap quick before it starts again lol Edit: I also forgot I was down to 5 health at about final 30 sooooooo to come back from that was pretty great.

Well anyone want to scoop me up in their group?

Alright ladies, this was a really cool photoshoot and there really aren’t any bad photos. The difference between top photo and bottom photo really isn’t that much this week. The competition this season is going to be tough! https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/73 Maris: It’s an interesting, yet maybe a slightly obvious choice here. With that said I do like the photo. The pose is good, you are pointing your toes even though you are in the sand, you are managing the garment well. My only real issue with it is my eye goes instantly to the wonky hand. Jane: interesting that you chose to hide the hair in the garment right away. I would have loved to see you confidently rock that look. I like how you managed to keep the heals on the sand without sinking in. The pose is cute, but you have lost your back leg in the garment and I would have liked to see it. I also think your face could have been a bit stronger im not seeing a ton of energy from it. Cristi: My fellow purple hair queen….. This dress is a bit of a risk because those tatas are the first thing my eyes see and I’m gay and obsessed with purple hair….. I like the bottom part of the dress and the way you work it, but for a high fashion shoot you gotta cover a bit more of the girls. Justini: the luckiest top model ever goes to…… you know you shouldn’t be here this week so you had to step your game up, and this is obviously better than last week, but it may not be enough to save you with your penalty. The photo is fine, I love the dress color and the way you are working it, but your legs are in front of each other to the camera so I can only see one and a half. If you had taken that front foot and put it a bit more to the left of the frame and given us a bit more in the face, this would have been a photo I would be confident you would stay this week. lluckygc: safe. The whole photo is just safe. I wish the gown wasn’t covering the back leg but it looks like this is a theme with all the girls. We have to remember we can’t let these big flowy gowns wear us as the models. I also miss your back arm. Where is it? Did Tyra finally go crazy and remove it as part of your make over? Brat: very high fashion in the gown, styling, lighting, and you look exceptionally tall which is great. The pose is a bit too posey for me, and your hand is getting lost in the gown and the one we can see look a bit limp. I think with a slightly different pose this is easily top photo because of the styling and the way you look. Medusaluh: I’m not sure if this was just messed up in the upload but your picture looks really grainy for some reason. I’m going to assume that wasn’t on your end. I love the contrast you created with the shade complimenting the shape of the dress. The dress is very high fashion, and you look like a black widow turned butterfly. The intensity of the face is great as well. I want to see the version that is not grainy. bubba: I’m not sure about the choice of color, or lack there of. The way you are working the dress is fantastic, but I would like to see the back leg. I’m not sure why all the gowns are hiding the back legs completely. The face could be stronger, your eyes are kind of lost and its lacking a smize. Sprite: I like the playfulness with the sand (my photo has this too!) The gown isn’t the most high fashion in the bunch, and the face is a little on the weaker side this week. I do think you showed us good versatility with a softer look, but I think there’s some work to be done there. You gave us a way better fierce look. misskant: My critique last week was you allowed yourself to get a bit too hoochie with the mouth open/head back. So, this week you gave us a shot of your V? Is it MissKant, or missc*nt? The angle of the photo is not doing you any favors, as much as I think the concept is cool, the execution needs work. Your hair looks great obviously, the gown itself is a good choice, but this pose isn’t it. You aren’t just having your other leg covered by the dress, in your photo it looks like it’s missing. GatoPisado: I think the pose is good, the dress itself isn’t bad, but the overall styling of this look is missing the mark for me. The black heal doesn’t belong, the gold dress with your new hair combined with that tone of background just clashes a bit too much for me. I think with a different shoe, or a different dress color, this would have been a better photo. KaliMinaj: Love the dress, love your length. This could have had a similar problem to Cristi but this is how you wear that kind of dress. I think you fell into the same trap as most of the other girls by hiding your back leg, but otherwise I like the rest of the photo. Antog: I don’t hate the pose, but combined with your facial expression it kinda looks like you just aren’t taking the photo seriously. I think if you had added a little bend to the arms, given us eye contact, and closed the mouth it would elevate from playful to powerful. The fabric looks like liquid which I think is kind of cool, but it isn’t consistent with the fabric of the gown part, and that distracts the eye. akaliuchis: the first girl to choose kneeling in this photo. I think you could have done so in a way that helped your photo stand out positively, but the execution of the pose didn’t do that. Top half I think you nailed it, but your hip being that far out and I can see a crease there, its too much, and then the other leg is getting burried, where is it? If your lower half matched the strength of the top half of this photo you would have nailed it. A fuller dress bottom might have actually also helped. Manyomash: Love the way you are commanding the gown with that pose. The angles you are creating are very strong and appealing to the eye. The only down side is you lose your face. You look like you are thinking too much. If you had given us eye contact here, I would be drawn to you as the model and not the gown, but this photo was so so close I am encouraged to see what you bring next week. My rankings Medusaluh/Brat (I really can’t pick they both are really good) KaliMinaj Manyomash Maris Lluckygc Sprite Justini Jane Cristi akaliuchis Bubba GatoPisado Antog MissKant

If you have two bananas left, one is perfectly ripe, the other is just a little bit past ripe. You only want one banana and will not likely eat the second one until at least a day later. If you eat the perfectly ripe banana there is a decent chance by the next day the other banana is so far past ripe you won’t eat it. If you eat the past ripe banana by the next day the perfectly ripe banana will most certainly be past ripe. Which banana do you eat today?

I know the location of a baby egg if anyone needs it. SORRY ITS BEEN CLAIMED NOW

Comment something that you think might make me laugh, funniest comment will win a gift from me :) (please keep things clean(ish) and respectful)

It’s season 2 ladies! This is such a fun photo shoot to begin the season with so I looked forward to seeing the photos! As a reminder I am not a judge, and I critique as a fan trying to help you all reach your full potential! https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/69 Maris: This is the first photo I’m seeing, and it’s fine. It’s got nothing jumping out majorly wrong with it, but it also has nothing that makes it memorable for me. You look great, and it followed the instructions, but I hope to see something extra from you next week! Jane: This is a bit more interesting of a photo. It appears to me that you are controlling the waves and using them to crash the ships, so that is a cute story to tell in this photo. I think the pose could have been stronger to imply this, and the face a bit stronger as well. When sitting back like that, be careful that your front shoulder doesn’t scrunch up like that and hide your neck. Overall good first entry. Cristi: Cute photo. Some will say it is very AI, but what I like is that it is consistent throughout. The water, background models, dolphin, they all look consistent. I do think there’s a bit too much going on in the photo, and I think you would have been better off facing toward the camera more, but overall it’s a decent photo. Justini: Unfortunately this does not read mermaid to me. The styling is not quite right, and the obvious miss of the tail not being fully up the legs as well as the end of the tail not being in view will really hurt your chances this week. Your eyes being closed also was a big risk for week one. I don't get a sense of who you are in this photo. lluckygc: I enjoy the emotion, the styling, and the setting of this photo. I think to make this photo a top photo you may have wanted to crop it a bit closer and not point your legs/tail toward the camera directly since it makes you lose length. This photo shoot it should be easy to look long and tall since the tail is a natural extension to your legs, but the way you sit it makes you look quite short here. With one or two minor tweaks this could have been a top photo contender. Brat: strong start for you here. It is unique and stands out among the photos so far. Same feedback: the tail and legs look a bit short and you could have played around with a bit more length there to make this even more elevated. But that mug is fire. Medusaluh: A bold choice here. I actually love the styling, the story being told is also on brand for you so I don’t hate it. The tail is bending at a strong angle so much so it’s takes away from the overall image. The smoking is also probably not something we want to promote in 2026, but I can see how it’s part of this story you are telling…. Bubba: Face is gorgeous, strong start from a close up perspective. Unfortunately this shoot was a better opportunity for a full body shot to emphasize the mermaid element. The styling looks a bit underwhelming for high fashion, I wish it matched the strength you are giving in the face. Sprite: This is a very interesting photograph, and I love that you took the theme and made it your own. You made this look very evil pretty, and that isn’t easy to do. The pose is good but could have been even stronger to match the great emotion on your face. I could see a version of this picture where you are coming towards the camera to attack us. Overall, strong entry and I really enjoy the risks you took for week 1. missKant: neck for days honey! I wish the rest of your body was elongated like that neck. Your arm is getting squished under you which is distracting, and the mouth needed to be closed a little bit. This much open mouth with that much neck is giving hooch, and not top model. Bring that chin down slightly, keep the mouth open just not as much, and open the eyes to give us the emotion and this could have been a fantastic photo. Those are all super small tweaks you can make to stand out next week! GatoPisado: Very strong image. Your body is tea, your hair flip is great, and in this case the mouth being open works better because you are clearly yelling out or singing and your face matches that emotion. I unfortunately can't get over the weird crease in your hip/tail and would have loved to see the tail be elongated, but overall a strong first entry. KaliMinaj: the styling is great, everything is the same color scheme, it's simple yet elegant. Since it is raining, we could have maybe seen your hair fully wet, but overall I like this photo and it’s a safe, strong first entry for you. Antog: There is a bit too much going on in this photo for my liking. It distracts from you as the model. I think the image overall is not high fashion enough to stand out in the bunch. I enjoy the pose though and think it is one of the stronger versions of the simple pose we expected to see from the description. Akaliuchis: Very strong first entry. Obviously a very pretty girl, but you also carry yourself well in this photo. I think the styling and background and lighting are all wonderful. I do wish your pose had your legs/tail off to the side rather than pointed at the camera as it creates an odd angle, but the photo is still strong! Manyomash: Purple is my favorite color, so I for sure love the choice there! I do think the proportions got messed up and that would have been solved by posing at a different angle, as well as possibly elongating the tail. I think your arms look like an afterthought rather than a strong choice. I think if your eye contact with the camera was there it could have saved this photo slightly, but the combination of the other issues just didn’t add up for me. My rankings Akaliuchis KaliMinaj Brat Sprite GatoPisado Lluckygc Jane Maris Medusaluh Cristi Antog Misskant Bubba Manyomash Justini
