All right, here we go.

Element Lad. From the way you're running your hands through your hair and smiling, it seems like you're enjoying your new haircut. (I know I am.)

Let's go back to the previous challenge. Although I did not explicitly state on notice, you sure as stars were. In fact, a few hours after I cast my vote I thought I should have voted out Jan.

It's true I hated the hair, but hey, I think a few people liked it. Different space-strokes. No, the larger problem was lifting Mandalla's look. Why, why, why? Again, different space-strokes, this time meaning you should exhibit them.

I think you'll advance to the next round without problem, but Jan, you're remaining on notice as a reminder.

Queen Azura: compare this with her intro photo. Her free-swinging hair looks so much more fresh and flattering than that over-done 'do. (Stuffy!) The tiara-ette is playful and works well with this challenge.

Brainy: the black & blue sets off the Coluan complexion very well, so why don't I like this pic?

Beauty Blaze: uh-oh. Blaze, the darkest blonde in the competition, benefits least from the color scheme. She is much better suited to (in all seriousness) warm tones of red, orange, gold, and cocoa. Blaze is intriguing and her intro picture gave me high hopes, but I'm worried she's going to get voted out here. I'm worried I'm going to vote her out here.

Pete. Okay, who put the Ross kid's head on The Tick's body?

Pete, you seem to have that "young adult gazing into the future" pose so popular on college brochures. But...you are in the future.

Others let their hair down, Pete Ross lets his hair up. Ahhh, I kid 'cause I love, Pete.


Mysa: hold me closer, modern dancer!

Mekt: what I said last time. I would mention the bedroom eyes but only one is visible and "bedroom eye" doesn't quite...sound...right.

Pam: "That tickles!"
The best of all. Rock on, Comeback Queen.

VOTE OUT:

BRAINY

and, reluctantly,

BEAUTY BLAZE

Hmmm.

I felt Brainy's skin-tone didn't work with my favorite color (I'm wearing it now!). Perhaps a darker blue...

Pam's portrait was my least favorite of the femmes this go-round.

Other notes:

Jan may well take it for the guys now that he's had the haircut.

Blaze, I want to see you *snap crackle and POP* in your next pic.

Azura gets my vote for most improved!

Oh. In case I wasn't clear:


OUT:

Brainy & Pam.

And Jeckie was robbed!

Brainy (reluctantly, but he just doesn't look comfortable there) and Pete out.

Women: no contest: Pam out
Men: I don't know. I think I'm going to give E-Lad one more chance and vote Pete out

Policy Pam to leave; didn't anyone tell you to keep your eyes open when you pose for a picture?

Pete Ross to leave; not sure what it was, but I just didn't like that pic as compared to the others.

Fat Cramer, looks like you voted for two men and no women, so I'll wait for clarification from you before I count your votes.

Otherwise, these are the early returns...
Who should go?

MEN
Pete 2 votes
Brainy 2 votes
ELad 1 vote

WOMEN
Pam 3 votes
Blaze 2 votes

Polls will remanin open...

OUT: Pam and Pete

I always thought this would be a great color for an 'official' E-Lad uniform, maybe a shade or too more pastel. He has gold/brown eyes, doesn't he? Did that change with the new continuity?

Of course, in the 31st century you probably have to do little more than blink to change your eye color.

Sigh. Jeckie would've looked stunning in this challenge, if she'd made it.

Not paying attention! So it's Brainy out for the men and Policy Pam for the women.

Here are the early returns...

Hmm. Tough call.

But someone's got to go, so lose Element Lad and the White Witch.

Get rid of Brainy. Looks like Pam is sure to go, but my vote is Mysa

It pains me to say it but I want Brainy out. And that Queen Azura chick. She just doesn't do it for me.

Brainy and Pam to go. Maybe they can get a spot on Dancing with the Intergalactic Stars.

Pam and Pete Ross, which seem like the two I'll keep voting against until they leave.

I'm usually not nearly this consistent.

Alright, there are enough votes, enough of a margin, and enough time to call it... polls are now closed.

Goodbye Brainiac 5 and Policy Pam!

Now that the elimination is done, I think the best behind-the-scenes commentary should come from Storm Boy:

"Overall, the women were more into this challenge than the men. I think it had to do with the wardrobe. These guys are used to skin tight fabrics, but I think the lack of layers and accessories threw them off.

Pete tried to give that heroic look, just like Brande mentioned, and I think he did well.

Element Lad was mostly interested in showing off his new hairstyle, which actually gave him something to do in the shot.

Brainiac 5 wasn't really sure what to do, so the best shot we could get of him was a bit awkward. I suppose that might be why he got voted off.

Mekt was not very nice, so I just sent a slight breeze around the room. He looked good, though.

The ladies were a lot more fun to work with. I think wind isn't Beauty Blaze's favorite thing, ever. I suppose that makes sense. She didn't seem very comfortable, but she's so good looking, it's hard to take a bad holo of her.

Azura didn't want her hair messed up, and she was very protective of her tiara, so I had to keep the wind very gentle around her.

Pam was having a LOT of fun, but I think she forgot to model, to pose. She just did a lot of laughing and giggling. She was great, but I don't think she's really cut out for the competitive nature of this competition.

Mysa was wonderful! Again, I kept the breeze light because her hair is so long, but she was twirling and doing lots of interesting things with her hands and made the whole thing seem really...magical! Heh!

It was nice to get this gig and nice to come across some Legionnaires again. Glad Triplicate Girl wasn't around. She's scary!"

Hey, Storm Boy, nice ta seeya. Love them glasses of yours.


Hmm. While I'm glad Blaze was saved, I didn't expect it to be at the expense of Pam.

Looks like I missed this vote.

All looked good. I can say that I disagree with who was rejected. (meaning I didn't see anyone else who I thought looked worse)

Hey Quis! I was even pretty patient that time!

The pictures for the next challenge are done, just need to finish Nura's and the judge's parts and put it all together. Remember the votes for Kathoon? They'll come into play and it's lovely.

Ah, the tropical nights!
Time to vote!

Which Gold or Platinum haired contestants will go this time? Vote to reject one man and one woman...

Element Lad
Pete Ross
Mekt Ranzz

Beauty Blaze
Queen Azura
White Witch

Ooh, first votes!!

For the boys, I'm sorry but Pete Ross just doesn't do it for me. Sorry bud.

As for the ladies, it pains me so but I think it's Mysa's time. Hers is the weakest of the three.

Absolutely loved Element Lad, Beauty Blaze and Queen Azura. I feel like they've all really hit their stride. Mekt was sexy, though I would've liked to see a little more from him.

Can't wait for more, Dean!!
