Hmm... Let me set things straight here. When I congratulated KimberlyWest for making it to the next round, I sincerely thought voting was over. It was a tough decision to make choosing between her and GSteve001. I wanted to give him another chance but also feared he might have reached his limit. When I saw KimberlyWest had a good number of likes and shares, I decided to gamble and I asked myself, 'Why can't I keep both of them?' I didn't envision anyone overtaking KimberlyWest that particular night. I logged in last night and almost had a heart attack. Voting was still going on and she had a slim chance of scaling through. What to do? What to do? I felt I had done her an injustice, so I sent her a mail, apologizing and she was a good sport about it. I didn't know judges were allowed to canvass for votes. Had I known, I would have done that and Jazmiynne would have had no reason to complain. So i jejely liked and shared the story. I told my husband to do same and he did. By the time I was about retiring for the night, I saw she still had a slim chance of making it to the next round, so I did the only thing I usually do in situations that are beyond my control- I prayed. I simply told God to help her and slept off. I logged in a few minutes ago and read someone insinuating favouritism had been employed somewhere along the line. Let me reiterate, I don't know any of the contestants. I don't have a percentage in the prize money. I want someone from my team to win alright but cheating to do that? Not me. I believe the other judges share the same view with me. We all have our reputations to maintain. That's my own side of the story.

skarlett: Please skarlett this your composition has me asking: did the kids get successful and won't have her in their homes, or did they fail, and the mansion is just a metaphor for perhaps: world? |

skarlett:this kind of things really happen. It's sad, and really inhumane. In situations like this, I wonder what's going on in the minds of these offsprings; why would they forget the hardship their parent went through for their sake: It makes me upset. I was touched by your story, really. I hope it gets the attention it deserve. |

Greymatter4:Sorry, I have been so busy, with my hands tied down. I was even typing an update but couldn't finish because I got busy. You guys should just bear with me. Don't worry, the whole story is already concluded in my head before I even started so there won't be anything like me running out of ideas. Will give typing an update tonight a shot, though very tired at the moment after today's activities. 1 Like |

OluwabuqqyYOLO: Assuming that I'm the "that lady" in this your post (if I'm not, kindly clarify)... You would notice that I never mentioned favouritism or Kimberly in my complaint and that it was directed pointedly to the mod (Divepen1), infact it was completely unrelated to either of the two and we have settled it amicably. So, I really don't understand why AudreyTimms had to include my moniker while explaining about favouritism and Kimberly. Please I don't have any issues with either of the two points in your explanation ma'am, and I really didn't appreciate having to be involved by OluwabuqqyYOLO as "don't mind that lady" as if I had slighted AudreyTimms in anyway. Please discuss the issues without having me included in complaints I did not make. 2 Likes |

Jazminyye, please take a chill pill. When i mentioned favouritism, i was referring to the comment Profuhrer made about the judges picking Kim. I mentioned you in my post because you would have had no reason to feel cheated had i canvassed for votes for Kim. I was only trying to correct the impression that Kim was favoured. I hope you understand. Let it go, please. There was no need for you to have replied that post with subtle rudeness. You're beginning to give the impression of a sore loser which I believe you're not. Good morning. 2 Likes |
