Question: Bakit nalipat si JimLodge sa WarLords?
Maglarotayo: It has been said po, na kapag ang isang pares ng writer loses his/her pair on the day na pasahan ng entry, wala pa rin pong "winner by default" na mangyayari. Ang entry nung writer na walang partner ay ibe-base ng coach niya sa mga entries ng mga natanggal na writers from the other teams. This method ay nangyari na po sa Battle Round. The Coach can decide whether to exchange his/her writer na walang kapares for that writer that has more edge to win the competition kaso natanggal lang. The reason we don't allow "winners by default" is because it's unfair; their entries should be compared just like everybody else na may ka-partner. Hindi ba nakaka-offend 'yung masabihan kang "Ay, nanalo 'yan kasi hindi nakapasa yung kapares niya..."? So to resolve everything and give a little guilt-trip dun sa mga MIA partners nila, we used the method mentioned above. Eto po ang dahilan kung bakit pwedeng palitan ni Coach Direk_Whamba si Defininghapiness for JimLodge.
Direk_Whamba: Hindi ko ugaling mag-sorry sa mga matatanggal sa competition na ito kaya dadaanin ko sa maayos na paliwanag. Una, competition nga po ito. Pangalawa, wala akong kasalanan. Pangatlo, wala ring kasalanan ang contestant. Lahat kami, ginawa namin ang best namin.
Nagconcede ang kalaban ni defininghappiness but that doesn’t mean na dapat siyang i-default. That would be unfair to the other contenders. So, i scouted those who are in the list na maeeliminate sa KO round for possible face-offs.
Maganda gumawa ng story si defininghappiness. In fact, isa ‘yun sa mga factors kung bakit ko siya nai-consider noong Battle Round. May artistry, reality, pero at some point, (kung didibdibin mo ang pagbabasa), papasok ‘yung ‘hinog sa pilit’. It’s not her fault. Magaling siya, it’s just that hindi masyadong nabring-out ‘yung iba pa niyang potential. Posibleng hindi akma para sa kanya ‘yung illustration na napili ko for her. Anyway, may mga blindside naman talaga as part of the game. We have to stick to the given theme, for example. Narerestrict wether you like it or not.
Nung nabasa ko ‘yung work ni Jim, nakakita ako ng rainbow. (lol) ‘Yung ganung sci-fi ang pinapangarap kong gawin pero hindi ko pa kaya. Iba ‘yung level (basahin niyo po, refer to his work to know what I’m bragging about).
Hindi ko pipiliin si Jim dahil siya ‘yung mas may karapatan. Siya lang ‘yung nag-shine at the moment (para sa’kin). This round is about art after all.
Congratulation, everyone! Goodluck for the upcoming rounds!
Did the result surprised you? I do. Nakakapanghinayang nga eh...
