We're not even gonna talk about how long it's been. Me thinking you abandoned, you thinking I did, really bad timing...yeah. BUT IT IS ACTUALLY HERE! THE END! THE FINALE! A WINNER IS BORN TONIGHT!
Because of the time its taken to finish this, I'm not going to make you wait even longer for the original prizes that were promised on the front page. Instead, since you were all troopers and stuck it out together, you'll all get the same prize package - the only difference being your signature banners. I know it's not 100% fair to the actual winner, but it's been months - I feel you all deserve the prizes.
Now onto the really fun part. The winner!

While it wasn't the most creative approach, it got the job done. Basic bedroom set. I like Midge's styling, but i don't like how much of him is covered up. The song is about getting all hot and heavy for someone and Midge is doing that here. The alternative dress makes me think you may have played off the word "bite", but I can't really 100% tell so I couldn't give you more storytelling points. Either way though it's a very nice picture and you've done an amazing job through the whole competition and it's a well deserved win. Great job Red :)

Things I love: Her styling, her pose, the concept you went with. Things I do not love: the quality of the picture, the set, or the other girl's styling. Out of all 3 pictures, I loved your interpretation of the lyrics most of all. But the glitchy glove through the girls waist, all the blurriness of Rosa's face, and the completely blank walls where you can even see the bit where it connects to the ceiling brought it just barely out of winner status. But the creativity here is marvelous and you have shown exceptional work all throughout this competition. Awesome job Alex :)

This picture, like just about all your others, is stunning. You have amazing quality, always decorate your sets and sims amazingly, edit like a pro - seriously your pictures are gorgeous. What killed it was the storytelling. I appreciate that you tried to go in a different direction, but as always with this comp, nothing that's written can be taken into account for the score and if I just looked at your picture with the lyrics and no explanation, I honestly would never have understood the relation. It was just a little too far fetched to have been able to make the connection without your help and ultimately that was the only thing that drug this, otherwise fantastic, photo down. But I have to be fair and can't start scoring differently now that it's the finale so unfortunately it puts you in third. However you still did a fantastic job, all through the competition and an amazing simmer Cinder. Well done :)

It was so close, but that's not surprising since all of you are such awesome competitors. Everyone in this finale will receive their starfish button, Barnacle Bay and Lunar Lakes! Hope this maybe sorta makes up for being such a fail hat host and hopefully we can all still be friends. :mrgreen:
Thank you to everyone who participated this cycle!!
