I had a blast playing #DNTM3 and am really proud of my photos. I progressed a lot and submitted some of my best photos that are better than any of the ones I did when I practice in season 1 and 2. I won 2 top photos late in the game but was unable to recover from a few bad scores early on so I came up short of the final in 5th. I was most proud that I used inspiration for nearly all my photos from mostly 2026 top designers and lots of pose inspiration from editorials published in fashion magazines. I always did research on the theme to find something relevant to wear that wasn't always my taste but that was always inspired by real high fashion looks. That was the fun part and even though the judges didn't always agree my looks were high fashion (I don't know if they plan to call the famous designer's and tell them their looks aren't high fashion or what?) I still continued to stick to my strategy because it made my experience more fun. Casting photo Carrousel. Went for more of a nightmare theme here so intentionally darker, but maybe ended up a going a bit past where I should have. I actually thought this look was all about the subtle details, but the judges wanted extreme this week. I actually liked this pose a lot and honestly the contradiction of lace with leather I thought made this really high fashion. I really wanted to submit my real photo here with the hoop pushed over and cracked with me sitting on it, but the jacket was a real jacket in a Balenciaga campaign for the NBA, but was said to be too basic and not high fashion enough. Inspired by a top model photo, I really thought I ate this photo, despite my choice of a thin veil. I think I was creative in my styling and use of water and refection but this was the week I was scored last and was to be sent home if Muri hadn't been kicked out. I was really close to giving up this week because I could not see what I was doing so wrong in the eyes of the judges. But I resolved to get better and deliver quality photos with my second chance. THe start of my redemption arc. I think I did something creative here to make my photo black and white for everything but the model and the tail lights. Honestly this is my 2nd favorite look of mine all season! This photo scored high even though I really hated this theme. I did like my inspiration outfit a lot but having to make it all silver I didn't enjoy. I know people didn't like the extreme pose but that's what the brief asked for. I took a bit of a risk here after getting some cushion finally with my placement in the house. But I do think I was able to give a soft face which was a big part of the brief. My first top photo! Hands down my best photo and I think one of the best all season. Did not like another latex theme but I did think my concept was cute with me escaping since the theme said make it look like you aren't supposed to be there. Another top photo here which was 2/3 weeks so that felt good. I unfortunately had a flight this day and then was busy with family and did not have time to really perfect my picture. I think my styling was one of the tops this week but the finish got messy and I couldn't fix it. Sadly cost me the game. Overall. proud of the season! :)

ARENA FORMAT IDEA
Goomybear
I have an idea to spice up regular format arenas that is an alternative to golden beaver! First set is normal vote just like normal games or beaver, BUT know that whoever wins the elimination will have power! The POV and the winner of the elimination will each get to choose one person to go into elimination. The winner of the elimination is not eligible to be chosen by the POV. If you win POV from elimination you can pick both! The POV picks first, then the Elimination winner. This can continue all the way through final 4 where essentially whoever won the final 5 elimination becomes safe, and if that person is POV then they pick the set regardless. ******EDIT IN THE EVENT OF A PURGE, THE POV CHOOSES FIRST AND THE RUNNER UP CHOOSES SECOND SINCE EVERYONE WAS AT RISK. Comment with your ideas on what we should call it! UPDATE: We tried it and it was SO FUN! https://kovaze.com/blog/50493

#GoomyGiftGiveAway Week 17! I have taken a few weeks off just because I haven't been playing as much and also I bought all the pride flames (love is love you know) so I wanted to let my koins cook in the bank again. BUT IM BACK. This week, tell me who you think is the hottest male tennis player currently active. And I will gift the first person to name my favorite! Feel free to include (appropriate) photos. :)
Am I the only person who thinks this comp was better before whatever was done to 'fix' it? The ball still lags behind my finger or key taps so often that I cant move it any faster than I do. And I barely break 3K on a good run..... I dont get how I would physically ever be able to go fast enough to get 8K or whatever insane scores some ppl post. Am I missing something here or is there still a big imbalance based on processing speed of your device?
DNTM4 Photoshoot 10
Goomybear
We are getting late in the season now, and even though I know the scores probably seem imbalanced, anyone can make the final if they just avoid being bottom 2. In order to do that, you have to pay attention to the fine details. This week overall I was not nearly as inspired as last week's shoot. We had some super high fashion looking photos last week and then this week we kinda reverted back to some pretty basic stuff overall.... With that said #DNTM4 @Marilise Pose: 5 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 5 This pose is becoming your signature pose it seems, and it shouldn’t be…. This one leg up open crotch look is like the 3rd or 4th time we have seen it from you and it has been OK at times (never going to be my favorite) but its really not working here. The face is good and you are doing better with the hair. The addition of the hat is great and I love how it matches the shoes because otherwise I think it would have wanted to be a different color. The rest of the photo is also just not giving us much and the way the purse is just sitting carelessly on the driver’s seat with the strap being wonky seems a bit of an oversight which I wouldn’t expect from you. Total: 6.25 @Marquis Pose: 6 Face: 8 Styling: 4 Composition: 5 Not the most exciting pose, but you fill the frame well and it makes your arms look lanky and long but in a good way. The neck and angle you chose to have your face at is also good. The styling itself is like…. Fine…. But this is now the 4th?! Time you have gone with all white? Lets get some inspiration from some other colors please please please. If you had used the royal green in some aspects of this look you could have elevated the design a lot with a little. The composition score is lower because I don’t exactly understand where you are in the photo. It looks like the car is in a pool? It could have actually worked if it was a bit more clear what was going on. Total: 5.75 @LeQuishaQ Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 7 A good entry for you, but not your best shot of the season by any means. Having played a season I know it is hard to find inspiration every single week to deliver something that is better than the last, so I don’t fault you for that. I do like the color combinations, the red on the tan is a smart choice. I may have gone with a black heal since you went black gloves (or the reverse) but that is a minor personal preference. The story is cute even though I really hate the cigar as this has been really overused in DNTM across the seasons (especially season 2). Overall good, but not as great as you can be this time. Total: 7.0 @GuiltyAsSin Pose: 7 Face: 8 Styling: 6 Composition: 6 I enjoy this photo, but a few things hold it back for me. The pose is cute, but I do think wearing the shoes would have helped. Your face is giving here, and it aids in the story telling. Now the rest of the details don’t exactly add up to the story like the old school TV and then a playboy mag? Also the car front is a bit off proportionally. Otherwise this is a good photo and you as a model stand out, just some of the fine details lower the overall photo score. Total: 6.75 @CupidStunt Pose: 7 Face: 6 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 The pose is a bit commercial, but for me somehow it does work for this shot. You did hide the neck with the scarf which doesn’t help. Try bunching it up a bit more there so it doesn’t cover the neck or just have it cross that part of the body a bit lower. I do like the dress and the overall look, and the coloring of the photo is great. The money is cheesy and contributes to the commercial nature to this photo. Total: 6.5 @Antog Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 6 Composition: 5 This is one of your first misses for me. The pose is alright, but does make your legs look pretty short. I like the movement of the hair and scarf. When you zoom in on the face it is pretty blah…. I know with blue hair you have a bit more limited colors for your styling to avoid clashing, but you seem to lean into just blues every week and there are some better options that could make you really stand out and actually leverage the hair. The cigarette again? I really hate it. Also, you let the image get very overprocessed. Smooth it out at the end before submitting. Total: 5.5 @Fancy Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 This was almost my favorite photo of the week. I like the lighting, the face, the outfit and the pose. Nothing is like 10/10 impressive, but it all does work well. My only thing that holds the photo back is the car set up looks way off (the wheel coming diagonally and the windshield being a bit odd…) If not for those details I think this would get my top photo but now unfortunately I have to give it to Ann... I mean Quisha….. again…. Total: 6.75 Ranks Quisha 7.0 Fancy: 6.75 Guilty: 6.75 Cupid: 6.5 Marilise: 6.25 Marquis: 5.75 Antog: 5.5
