Hey allll it is interview time with your favorite hoststress, skinny Muslim legend, local Pulse chef, two time Last Stand judge, Best New Poster of 2015, and iconic Pakistani taste king/possible bot, ME!. Anyways this week we welcome Adrian C. 🍓 to spill all the tea on his time in the game!
1. How do you feel about your time in the competition? Did you think you were gonna survive round 9? Where did you predict yourself to place ranking wise when the competition begun?
Adrian: I came into this season with no real expectations after flopping horribly in season 1, having a mediocre run in season 2, and not even making it past the casting round in season 3. But I feel like I can finally say that I'm happy with how I did. I wanted to prove that I know how to play the game well, and with two FCOs, I feel like I did just that! So I'm happy and I had fun! At some point I did see myself in the top 5 or even top 3, but I'm also not surprised that Obscurity Points was my downfall, so it is what it is!.
- We love the upward trend in your performances!
2. Do you think you could've/should've done anything differently? Is there a different song you'd have sent in place of the song that got you eliminated from the competition?
Adrian: Perhaps I could've taken the roleplay bonus more seriously at the start, or I admittedly could've picked a better song for round 1. In terms of round 9 though, I've been doing a Depeche Mode deep dive recently, so I was determined to send one of their songs, which probably wasn't smart. But at the end of the day, I still feel like I sent a good song, just understandably not as good as the others, which is fine.
- I still think your pick was cool but the competition is very tight so it is what it is.
3. What predictions, if you have any, do you have for the rest of the competition?
Adrian: Hard to say with how unpredictable this game can get. That's two people now to serve OUT after two consecutive wins! I feel like there will be at least one more surprise leading into the final two. 👀
- You better not be manifesting a Walter top 2 appearance on me as the surprise cause I will END you if that happens now.
4. Who are you rooting for to win this season? And/Or is there anyone your hoping will serve OUT soon?
Adrian: I really like everyone in the top 5, but I would love to see the win go to someone who hasn't already won previously, so I'm rooting for consistency queen Rep and our underdog Leo! Everyone has proved themselves worthy of the title though!
-
- Rip Leo tho.
5. If Pulse network picks us up for future seasons, will you be making a comeback and if so do you think you will the play any differently during your next attempt?
Adrian: Had I made the top 5, I probably would’ve said no. But for now, I’ll say maybe. It is a fun game, and if I do return, I will probably not play that differently from how I did this season. I feel like I finally struck a good balance of sending songs that I like, that also appeal to judges, so we’ll see. I could also see myself returning as a judge, so I guess it’ll depend on how I’m feeling when we get there!
- Definitely excited to see where you'll go!
6. If you were still in the game, for this current round what song would you have sent?
Adrian: I honestly don’t know, so had I survived that last round, I’d probably be serving OUT this round. There’s a Coldplay song that would’ve fit, but it’s very sad so I probably wouldn’t have sent it. So yeah, I’d have to look further into it. This round seems hard!
- Fair it is a bit of a challenging round since sometimes some family songs are sappy.
7. Of the songs you sent for the competition, which would you consider your top favorite?
Adrian: My favorite song that I sent is Everybody Wants to Rule the World! Such a classic and I was *so* excited when I realized that it fit the sentence theme because it’s honestly one of my favorite songs ever.
- Great choice!
8. Lastly, would you like to make any final statements, comments, or perhaps an iconic outro of some sort? Perhaps a call for revenge against the judges or that you will be unleashing hell on the remaining contestants as this week's guest judge?
Adrian: I have nothing more to say about this game tbh. However, I will say that it’s been a hot minute since I hosted a rankdown on Pulse, so perhaps that will change in the near future… I’m particularly excited about what I’m putting together, so you heard it here first! 👀
- Oooh we love a good tease.
Alright and that wraps up this interview, please give it up for Adrian once more! Alright, thank you all for following along and good luck to all to the top 4 since this came up later than usual, I took my vacation days leave me ALONE (nah but for real sorry ya'll my trip hasn't been great so far or very kind to me finding free time these last few days). Anywho you'll be hearing from Leo soon enough too (once I actually send em the questions).
