Gauging Interests: Arena's Next Top Doll!!

[LuvlyMelody]

To try to bring everyone close together and have a break from Monster High, how about we do something like a "America's Next Top Monster!" But instead of Monsters, we'll be involving all sorts of dolls from everyone!!

My idea involves everyone adding a participant to the competition by using their own doll, that way it adds variety!! Also, everyone in the arena gets to vote and see their favorite contestants fight for the top!!

This'll mainly be just for fun and laughs almost like if it was a real reality TV show. There is no criteria for the pictures but as long as your photo matches the theme of the challange, you should be fine.

This'll be a contest where the audience is the judge! This isn't going to be a highly competitive kind of contest, just one where everyone can post their dolls regardless of what kind and everyone can share! (and fight for the title)

Here's how it would work:
-Find an Announcer/Host of the threads. (Me)
-Come up with Themes for the Rounds.
-Start a Sign-up thread (Kinda like a Swap sign-up Thread but with Participants instead of swap partners)
-Participant owners fill out the form (basically fun facts to give the paticipant more character) on the thread to sign their doll as a Participant and add a 'mugshot' of the doll.
-Once info is collected, start Participant/info thread with info on the Contest, whose in it and who has been voted out as well as previous Round thread links, current theme and previous themes crossed out.
-Start Round every week until one has claimed the title of America's Next Top Model. (Gonna have to tweek the name a bit. Arena's Next Top Doll??)

How a Round would work:
-Once Participants have been chosen and the Participant/info Thread has started, post the first theme and deadline for the Round to the info thread
-Have Participant owners PM the host (that way no one will see/steal anyone else's idea) the picture for that round and just for fun add a quote from what the Participant would say about the current Round.
-Once Deadline is met with all pictures and quotes (if added) are recieved. Host starts Round thread, posts pictures and quote. Lets the voting begin! Those who do not meet the deadline will be eliminated!! (I might add Grace Periods)
-Once Round is over, and votes have been counted, Participant with least votes gets kicked off.
-Voted off Participant gets to say their last words if they want.

To be able to participate, there are some things I have to regulate.
-This is a chance to let the other dolls shine so sadly, Ghouls of Monster High are not allowed to participate.
-Only one participant per member.
-*Need to find more things to regulate so the whole thing doesn't collapse on itself*

Everything isn't set in stone yet so some things may change and I may need to work out a few tweeks.

I'm willing to take the risk of attempting this and having it be a big success or have it be an embarassing big flop. Making me a laughing stock of the whole Dollhouse.

I got the OK From Tuney and If this were to happen, is anyone interested in participating??

I'm not a very good photographer, but I would love to try out anyway just for fun. Are any kind of dolls allowed? I have a Bratz doll that I'd like to enter...

[knitgirl]

I'd be interested. I have an easier time coming by clothes for my Pullip doll than I do for my MH girls.

[Chi]

Didn't I mention something simular to this? I'm glad you decided to post it! My girl needs a new wig  in order for me to enter though..But I would!

[Taxel]

If I'm able to get Photoshop back finally before this starts, I'd love to participate!

[LuvlyMelody]

PandaBerryInSpace: I'm sure you photos will come out great. After all it is a competition that's just for fun and yes, ANY kind of Doll is allowed...Except for MH. XP

knitgirl: Once/if this whole thing starts, I look forward to see how you'll dress her up!

Chi: Yeah, I got the idea after you mentioning it. I felt kinda guilty because you did mention it first. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 You should get her a new wig and enter!

Taxel: I still have some things to prepare before it starts so hopefully you can get photoshop by then.

[xkelpiex]

This sounds AWESOOOOOME

[Chi]

@Luvly: The only wigs I like for her are coming from China/Taiwan.. >.< Been lurking here and eBay to see if anyone puts one up for sale that would suit her..

[fiwen30]

This sounds awesome I'td give me a kick in the rear to start photographing my girls more!

[aellos]

YES! I would love to use my new Pullip girl that is coming in.

[kaninchen]

i very much like this idea!

[tuneful87]

I hope ANTD turns out well! I would enter if I owned anything other than MH!

[Vertefae]

I'll play!

[LuvlyMelody]

xkelpiex: I know right?? lol you should enter!!

Chi: If you can't join this time, I hope you can join the next one! (If this one goes well to have a 2nd season XP)

fiwen30: I've never tried any Photography of my dolls so this'll be some great experience and practice for the both of us.

aellos: New doll and already on her first day she'll be a contestant in a contest!! Muahahaha >=D

kaninchen: Thanks! Will you be entering once it starts?

tuney: Thanks, I hope it does go well too! Hopefully ANTD can follow the footsteps of ANTM. If it all goes well we can try ANTPONY!!! loljk that'll be a huge bloodbath if that happened. >,<;

Vertefae: Once we start I can't wait to see everyone's participants!

[aellos]

Heck yes. I'm happy I'm getting her. I halfway think I planted a garden for her. (Actually I planted it because I was bored) but now I have a place to take pictures. I must go out and get some barbie clothes for this competition!
