Raheem the qualities that might make a good mod. But he also possesses qualities that may hinder his moving forward. He is sometimes disrespectful, he comes and goes as he pleases, and he is unreliable. Disrespectful: He has said that if someone pisses him off he'll say whatever he wants to them. So if a judge angers him, he'll just say whatever he wants? Thats how people get held for contempt of court. He doesn't seem to have a filter and that may be a big problem, later on. Unreliable: During the challenge with Clay and myself Raheem's part of the challenge was not sent in. He could have sent it sooner, instead of 1 minute before the challenge ended, so we at least had something to work with.It just cleary shows he doesnt think ahead or prepare for potential problems. I was sending Clay information as i made it and in the end sent the information in a full clear final post that he could just copy and paste. I personally don't think he cared because the challenge didn't "cater to his specialties." He didn't really keep communication with us either, which shows poor communication skills, although he claims he is very good at communicating. I think he was confusing his good grammar with effectively getting necessary information to other team members. He apparently didnt do much for the myspace challenge and when asked why he said "There was nothing left for me to do." Thats not valid as there is always something to do. He could have helped Lane friend request or promoted, but instead he chose to sit back. All of this just shows he really didn't care for anything that didn't benefit HIM and it seemed rather selfish to me. Lateness: Raheem didn't sign in for episodes 1, 3, and 5. He was late for episodes 6, 7, and 9. Do the rules not apply to him? It seems that if someone like Bgaga or Dlove were to do such a thing they would just get eliminated. This once again just shows how everything is on his time. I'm not saying a few late sign ins shouldn't be excused, but 6 in a game of only 9 episodes? That just seems rediculous. Raheem just clearly puts himself before anything an will do WHATEVER he wants. I was just not putting my all into it because of the challenges that I did not specialize in. That was a quote from him, from MINUTES ago... He said that if there is something he is not good at, he won't put his all in to it. I have tried very had at every challenge that was ever given. I'm not very good at coming up with things at the top of my head, I'll admit. But during the event challenge, Lane and I both tried our hardest. would never just let my teammate do ALL the work because he is good at something. That right there shows that he will not work well with the team. He has not contributed a thing to the community other than posting once in a while. I have given my all in this competition. Tried very hard and given 100% into every competition. I may be dumb sometimes with common sense things, or I may have trouble coming up with things on the spot, but that doesn't mean I don't try. And when given the opportunity and time usually when I put my full effort into things I end up getting great reviews. I put alot of time and effort into reality skanks. I always have and always will, but Raheem just started to a few days ago. It would be truly sad to see someone who didn't wholeheartedly put forth a good effort stay, over someone who never backed down, never gave up even after being in the bottom 4 times, kept learning, growing, & trying, and most importantly did everything they could to do what is right for RealitySkanks.com

Davie, I will have to disagree with you and say that my campaign speech was not the worst of them all. I actually have ideas that I know will make Reality Skanks a better place and keep members interested, rather than repelling away from here. You think that I will not fall through with it, but the only way that I can actually *prove* that to you, is when the time comes. I spoke to you on the phone yesterday about this and told you that I was going to start plans for the Blog Talk Radio once that show was over with, you know this. It is up to you to believe it or not. If you still don't, I don't know what to tell you, honestly. I know I will do it, and I'm trying to tell you that I am, but when I do, you still don't believe me, so I will just let my drive do the talking and get the things that I said I wanted to be done, done.
I feel that I am the hardest working over JRocks. I worked my ass off this past week and it shows. My votes that I received from the community, and my Fame, increasing by 3 to 4 points. When I first came on here, I was always getting DeFamed, but now it's slowly rising. Why? Because people are starting to see a change in me. If people are seeing a change, then it must mean that what I am doing is working. I had the hardest time trying to re-connect with a lot of people who I though hated me and didn't want to give me a second chance, so I didn't go up to them and said, "Hey, could you give me a second chance?" What I simply did was come back as if I were a new person and not putting everyone down or acting like I was some kind of god.
JRocks has, in my opinion, had smooth sailing with everyone in the community in terms of friendship and trustworthiness. I, on the other hand have had to fight what seems like BATTLES with everyone; convincing them that I am NOT here for the power; showing that I have changed as a person; showing them that I was no longer this apathetic person; showing them that I could actually DO something without being an asshole.
I feel like I have fought mentally and spiritually throughout this competition, which is going to get me a step-up into the duty of what is expected of me if I were to become a moderator. Davie once told me, "you're not going to just get in that easily," and dammit he was right. It hasn't been easy for me! This is probably the FIRST time that I have EVER worked hard for something, and says a-damn-lot because I am want this. I WANT to be able to contribute my ideas and be apart of the moderating team.
I feel that, had it not been for my inactivity, I would have had a much, much smoother sail. But I am also thankful that I have gone through this stuff because it has pushed me forward and realize that I cannot expect something to be given to me on a silver platter no matter how much you feel like you deserve it.
If I were not cut out right for this, I think I would have been eliminated again, but since I am still here, I believe that Davie and Eric are seeing potential in me. I know that there is still A LOT that the do not trust me on, but I just want to assure of them that I AM GOING TO PROVE THEM WRONG.
I've changed, I've put hard work into this. I have stayed up until 12 in the morning for this message board, talking to members. ,I have even avoided homework and did it in school for this forum. I feel that I am the most dedicated one who has what it takes to continue on and make Davie/Blue/Classic happy.
All I wish is for you guys to pick me over JRocks, because you will not regret it.
Thank you.

Hey Everyone. As a former Intern, id like to post my opinions on this predicament, as I care greatly for DAViE and realityskanks.com
But before i do, i have something to say.
I AM.......................SASHA FIERCE.
That's right. For the past few days, I have been a spy for DAViE, in an attempt to see how you mode hopefuls interact with new members, and keep your cool.
I must say, I am very impressed with how you handled yourselves!
KRonoz - you didnt talk to sasha much, but when she came on too strong, you played it cool . nice.
Raheem - you had the most conversation with Sasha. When I asked you a direct question about another mod hopeful, you seemed to answer, but stay professional which i was very glad to see.
Jrocks - You talked to Sasha a bit, less than raheem but alot. You answered questions well and you weren't rude at all, and i feel you interacted really well with a new member pressuring you, and you answered questions directly, without throwing anyone under the bus.
Overall you all did well at this secret challenge.
Also, Davie you have your hands full tonight, this is gonna be a toughie.
P.S. im sorry to anyone i may have offended under my alias, as Sasha Fierce <3
xoxoxo

*rolling eyes*
The only reason why I was not putting my all into it was because I couldn't. People who were on my team already took the initiative of doing something before I could even pick.
If anything differently had happened, like me having to do it by myself, I would have done it and put effort into it.
I can handle a challenge, best believe that. But how can I win the challenge is already being attempted by someone else?

Hello bbys.
Playing a troll over the weekend was fun I must say. I loved being Kermie and getting to go on another secret mission to test the remaining contenders. But I am surprised as to all of them handled the situation of a troll constantly pestering them. All of them handled Kermie extremely well and past the test. Congratulations.
