Hello, hello! :wave: Welcome to the 5th round of Talk Budgies All Bird's Next Top Model! :D

---------------------------------------

Before we get down to business, let me introduce to you, our THREE JUDGES! :clap:

First up, we have the totally beautiful.... Aaralyn! (softie) :loveeyes:
Next, is the angelic and super friendly..... Julea! (Pippin's Mom) :cool-smiley-025:
And last but not least, our very own comedian and all round nice guy.... Cliff! (clifff123) :laughing2:

--------------------------------------

Now before we continue, I just wanted to say, that this week was one a GREAT week :party3: The quality of the photos and the creativity behind them were all absolutely FANTASTIC! :D I was impressed! :D

It breaks my heart that we have to say good bye to someone when you all went equally well this week :(

------------------------------------

Also, I just wanted to say that I was a little disappointed that nobody handed their photos in until the second last day :cool: And I had to send out two warning PM's. But in the end you all got your photo in, so I'm happy! :D :urock:

------------------------------------

Unfortunately, it is time for the ELIMINATIONS! :evil:

As you could imagine, the eliminations were EXTREMELY close this week! :eek: Everyone went extremely well, and it was hard to come to an agreement on who should go :(

But in the end, the judges came to a decision.... I am so so sorry to say this, but it is time to go.... :( :( :(

Coacoa & brazillianangel

We are so sorry to both of you :crying2:

Sue, you were a fantastic member on the show! :D Always contributed to the threads, always delivered great photos on time (well mostly on time ;) ) and you are such a great sport! You are the epitome of what being a contestant is all about! :)

Unfortunately, I will have to get you to say your goodbyes, pack your bags and leave this competition immediately :( A cab is waiting outside :driving:

-------------------------------

Below are the OFFICIAL Talk Budgies All Bird Next Top Model rules. They are posted each week to remind you all how the competition is run. Read them carefully

RULES:
Contestents have 5 days to PM me a picture of their bird posing for the challenge (there will be a new one each week).

Judges will then have the remaining 2 days to PM me their nominations on who should go for that week. The budgie with the most nominations will be out. Contestents who don't PM me their picture by the end of the time constraints will automatically be out.

I will post the contestents pictures on the thread as soon as I get them, via PM. I will announce who is out at the start of each week.

For those of you still wishing to participate, there is still a chance. Each week, just post a picture of your bird doing the challenge, on the thread. Throughout the competition, I will pick 2 budgies from the public to fill in the places of 2 evicted contestents. 1 person will be chosen after round 2 and the other will be chosen after round 4.

NOTE that evicted contestent cannot win the competition anymore. But don't let it spoil your fun of posting pictures though. The only thing is that as an ex-conestant you will not be chosen anymore to be a contestent once again.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The trumph card:
So basically, if you're bird is not co-operating with you for the challenge and you don't know what to do, you can use your trumph card.

The trumph card is "Playful Bird" so you need to take a photo of your bird playing with you, or its toys and send it in instead of the challenge.

Rules of trumphcard:
Can only be used ONCE during the entire contest.
The trumph card can be used for all rounds except the final.

-----------------------------------------------------------

And now to announce the FINAL Member of the Public who will become a contestant! :D

I've been impressed by everyone's photos, they were all great! :D But two contestants have been sending in great photos EVERY WEEK, so I knew I would have to pick out of those two :) Both were on par with eachother, but unfortunately I felt that one photo was better than the other.

And for this reason, I am proud to announce that Sophie (Squeak_Crumble) will become our latest contestant! :D

Congratulations and well deserved! :D You've sent in photos every week without fail, and they have all be fantastic! I can't wait to see what you'll deliver to the competition now :)

----------------------------------------

BTW, this doesn't mean that you guys should now stop posting photos because you can't make it anymore. Certainly not!

We encourage you all to continue to send your photos in! :D It is all for fun remember :)

The following contestants are left on the show (in no particular order):

1.Crystal
2.Masae
3.Sophie
4.Speedy
5.Xealot
6.Demonique

------------------------------------------------

Now last week was a great challenge :) All of you sent in GREAT photos! :D Lets see if you can continue this week! :D

Our challenge for this week is........... "Cribs"!

I was going to use this challenge last season, but saved it for this one! :D

Basically, we want you to post a picture of your bird showing off it's "crib". For those of you who aren't "hip" :p, by crib, I mean cage. We want you to post a a picture of your bird showing us his cage.

He should be interacting with an object in the cage. Think outside the box :) This will require imagination :)

--------------------------------------

Here are this week's entries! :D I will post them as I receive them:

-----------------------------------------

I believe that Aaralyn will be supplying us our prize which is 25 KARMA POINTS! :D Unfortunately, I never got a reply back from Dave :o I'm hoping that he just didn't receive my messsage but I'm not sure:p :p :p

---------------------------------------

Good luck everyone! :D

HAPPY SNAPPING!

Awww Sueee! ;_; I hate to see you go, Coacoa's beautiful. -hug-

Wellt This week definitely isn't gonna be my week. Mochi HATES her cage with a passion. She only goes in there when she's getting punished. Does her visiting the budgie's cage count? ;_; That's the only cage she'll go in without screaming and throwing a tantrum.

.. I might very well have to use that trumph card this week. Good thing I didn't use it last week. :(

Speedy

Awww Sue :( Cocoa :( Boof & I love you guys and send you big smoocheroonies :XD: Sorry to see you go this week we thought you were in for sure!

I know what my photo is going to be this week - Boof hanging on the front of this cage ahahahaha

Why? Because whenever I go near his cage he jumps to the front so I really have no choice other than a photo of him hanging on the front of his cage :XD:

Crystal

Oh no, I'm sorry to see Brazillianangel and Cocoa go! I hope that you keep entering pictures each week, I love seeing beautiful Cocoa:loveeyes:

Demonique
03-03-2009, 12:25 PM
oh no, sue and coacoa!! I thought you would be in for sure...I was worried it would be Murdock this week.....everyone's pics were amazing and I didn't think ours was quite so good!!!!

Hummm....cribs.....this should be interesting :) Murdock just got a bunch of new toys I'm sure he'll love showing off!!! I just need to clean up the strawberries off of the walls and ceiling first :P He had waaaayyyy too much fun with fresh strawberries this morning, and everything is coated in red!!!

:( i somehow knew it was going to be me this week :XD: Thanks guys :) i'll continue posting pictures for this anyways :P but i'll be posting it of Kiki since believe it or not she is the most cooperative for pictures :P

This was a tough and I mean tough week to judge!:P I'm so sad to see Coacoa go..he's so gorgeous and is definitely a winner in my book! I look forward to Kiki photos..how fun!

Congratulations to Sophie and Skittles!:D You have been consistantly sending in great photos and this last one was so adorable!

I never like to contradict the producer since this is his show..but I will say that your bird in a simple perch pose will not get your bird through to the next week. That was great for week one when it was expected, but we are now expecting you all to step it up! Get creative since this is a bit of a challenging challenge.:P I wouldn' wait till last minute on this one either...start snapping right away and get that shot that is going to WOW the judges..I'm serious we want to be WOWed this week! If you wait until the last minute chances are you will feel rushed and not do as well.

Also a reminder that the focus of the challenge is the theme for the week and the subject of the photo..which of course is your bird.:) Feel free to submit your photos from last week into the Judges comments thread if you would like critiques.:)

Best to you all!:D

I'm also very sorry to see you go Sue and Coacoa! :( It was a very tough decision this week and we are not taking anything light-heartedly. We still love you loads!!

Can't wait for Kiki's pictures! :P

I must agree with Pippin's mom, please think outside the box (in this case, outside the cage) and be as creative as you can be! The judges want tough weeks on who should go, not stay :)

Get snappy!

Xealot

Sorry to see you leave the competition Coacoa and Suenem - it was such a tough week with so many good photos, yours included but sadly someone has to go :(

Congratulations Sophie and Skittles! This Competition just gets tougher, especially with addition of competitors such as you guys :D

Thinking outside the box/cage won't be difficult because Charlie is free range - but being creative is a whole other story :p Time to get experimental - and give Charlie's "crib" a very thorough clean ;) Can't wait to see the photos everyone!!

That's the trouble with 'competitions'! - we lose :( & we win :) - over & over.

I still think it is a fun thing :) - the photos have been very entertaining so far. Let's face it - many of us have so many photos that we want to share.

The weekly challenges are quite fun. Cribs ....:budgie: Let's see....hmmmmmmmmm.

Budgietom
03-06-2009, 05:14 AM
Still no entries yet! :p Come on everyone! :D Don't be shy! :p And I'm talking to EVERYONE, not just the contestants ;)

Xealot
03-06-2009, 07:05 AM
This is really difficult!! I can get a decent photo of Charlie's setup, but he looks so insignificantly small in comparisom to it all that they don't really look like modelling shots ... grrrr

:D

Speedy
03-06-2009, 07:23 AM
Me too Georgie! And the deadline is upon us!

I just don't know what to do to get a WOW photo! :S I am struggling to bring extra creativity to his cage... :(

:D


We aren't really looking for "modeling" shots.;) Natural shots are great and make for some of the best entries. When contestants try too hard to get that perfect shot, perfect profile, perfect this and that that's usually when the photo fails to impress the judges.:) That's how we ended up with photos in the blooper thread that should have been the entry photo and entry photos that should have made the blooper thread last season. Go for creative , but not perfection!

I know this is so off topic but does anyone find the fact that Dave is 'ignoring' Philip's messages very funny or is it just me? :p sorry Philip.. it is funny :XD:

Sadly i will not post a picture of Kiki this week because she is going through the worst molt i've ever seen, she's got pin feathers everywhere! :( poor babie :(

Demonique
03-06-2009, 06:29 PM
I will have my entry posted tomorrow morning...unfortunately, a certain grey someone decided to have some fun with my USB cord for my camera last night!!!! needless to say it's now in 2 pieces, so I'm picking up another one from my dad tonight!!!! ( I'd STILL like to know how Murdock found it and plucked it out of it's cupboard without my knowledge!!!!)

Squeak_Crumble
03-06-2009, 07:32 PM
I got an okay one...Does it matter if he cagemate is in the picture??
Also the sun is behinf them and it makes them look dark...But it is nearly the only slightly good one I have

It's fine if a cage mate is in the picture :) As for the lighting, I'll have to let you judge whether it is ok or not :)

I know this is so off topic but does anyone find the fact that Dave is 'ignoring' Philip's messages very funny or is it just me? :p sorry Philip.. it is funny :XD:

I know! He hardly ever responds to my PM's :p Don't know why? Must have been something I said :p Quite funny, I'll have to admit! :D

BTW, Crystal's and Masae's pictures have been been uploaded! :D Go to the first page and check them out! :D

03-06-2009, 10:17 PM
Aww they are all so good!
I have a bit of a disadvantage...Skittles is in an avairy outside LOL. So I can't get pictures fo her outside the cage or I will be kicked of TB:p

Phillip I have a feeling PM's are blocked for Dave. I mean imagine how many he would get everyday!:eek:

I had to camp out with the camera right next to me for days to get it :XD: If I didn't Boof would just of been hung on the bars of his cage yelling at me to let him out hahahahaha :D

He is showing his favourite past time - acrobatics!! :XD:
