You know how sociopaths can kill somebody and not feel bad about it? Only I never killed anybody.

== ROUND 11 - RESULTS ==Welcome to the tenth elimination ceremony. Only 3 of you will still remain in the competition by the end of the day.
Without further ado, the FCO for this round is…
DISTRICT!Daft Punk feat. Julian Casablancas - "Instant Crush"
Reputainbow: "Great song I’m looking forward to ranking in the next RYM rankdown. Production is great, especially on the chorus (which is very catchy)." (8.3) Aero: (9.4) Trilogy: (9.9) MoD: (8.7) Filthy: "Has always been one of my favorite Daft Punk songs. I don't know what they put in this song but i want more of it." (9.5) Samba: "It's interesting that for a song that's painted with vintage style influence, it just never gets old. Instant BOP." (8.6) Walt: "i probably prefer this to any strokes song such a strong hook" (9.3) James: (8.2) JUDGES: 71.9
----------
Perfume Genius - "On The Floor"
Reputainbow: "My favorite song from what I’ve heard from Perfume Genius. I used to prefer “Describe”, but I’ve come back to this one more over time." (8.3) Aero: (8.3) Trilogy: (9.4) MoD: (9.0) Filthy: (8.5) Samba: "Oh you cheek. One of my favourite songs ever. It means *so much* to me. Perfect in every single way." (10) Walt: "gay ass. personally, i use the initial talk remix of this more but the original is still great" (8.2) James: (7.6) JUDGES: 69.3
JUDGES: 141.2 ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 143.2
Two excellent songs and you totally crushed the competition this round! Great job. Congratulations you make it to the final round!
Next…
BB!Dionne Warwick - "Walk On By"
Reputainbow: "I heard this sampled in “Paint the Town Red” before hearing the original, and this is definitely far superior (even though Doja’s song slightly grew on me). Dionna Warwick sounds gorgeous." (8.4) Aero: (6.0) Trilogy: (9.6) MoD: (7.5) Filthy: (8.1) Samba: "You know Dionne??" (9.2) Walt: "i didn't know that dionne sampled "paint the town red" by doja cat, good for her! bit basic to sample the #1 song in the country though" (8.6) James: (8.0) JUDGES: 65.4
-----------
The Cure - "Fascination Street"
Reputainbow: "I wish I liked this a little more than I actually do. I’ve preferred other songs I’ve heard from The Cure." (7.5) Aero: (8.6) Trilogy: (9.1) MoD: (9.5) Filthy: i saw this live last year best experience of my life" (9.7) Samba: (8.0) Walt: "the bass line on this song is so fucking good, been listening to a lot of the cure recently so you picked wisely" (9.1) James: (9.3) JUDGES: 70.8
JUDGES: 136.2 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 138.2
Once again *nearly* avoided the bottom two. Congrats you're still in the running.
Which means the bottom two is…
HAMED & MAYMAN

Last person to advance to the next round is... HAMED!Etta James - "I'd Rather Go Blind"
Reputainbow: "Such a nice tune. Etta James’ voice is a complete highlight." (8.2) Aero: (6.0) Trilogy: (7.5) MoD: (8.7) Filthy: (7.3) Samba: "Really catchy and memorable songwriting. The arrangements and melodic flow are great." (8.0) Walt: "it's wild that this was only a b-side! etta had such a powerful voice" (8.5) James: (8.2) JUDGES: 62.4
----------
Daft Punk - "One More Time"
Reputainbow: "Oh, hell yeah. This is awesome. Such an iconic and memorable intro and chorus. The best kind of party song." (9.3) Aero: (9.9) Trilogy: (10) MoD: (9.5) Filthy: (8.4) Samba: "Their most popular song for a good reason. Jamming." (8.0) Walt: "one of the purest and happiest songs i can think of, just 5 minutes of unfiltered joy" (9.5) James: (9.1) JUDGES: 73.7
JUDGES: 136.1 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 138.1 OVERALL SCORE: 806.3
Contrary to popular belief, you actually didn't have the highest overall scores, but you did well enough this round to keep your spot. You've also become the bottom assassin of the season... Congrats.
Which means...
MAYMAN, I'm sorry but you've been eliminated.
The Velvet Underground - "Candy Says"
Reputainbow: "I’ve only ever listened to The Velvet Underground’s songs with Nico prior to listening to this, but this was pretty nice, although not my favorite from them." (7.6) Aero: (8.3) Trilogy: (7.7) MoD: (8.7) Filthy: "Cute song. great melody." (8.0) Samba: "She is sweet and cute. Little beautiful tune." (7.7) Walt: "it's very pretty! i don't know if it stands out to me all that much on a sonic level among the other songs here, though, but it's cool to see a song from the 60s discuss gender dysphoria, definitely ahead of its time in that regard" (7.8) James: (7.8) JUDGES: 63.6
-----------
Jessie Ware - "What's Your Pleasure?"
Reputainbow: "One of my absolute favorites from the album of the same name. What an absolutely fun tune." (9.2) Aero: (9.4) Trilogy: (6.8) MoD: (7.2) Filthy: (8.6) Samba: "Mother of mothers. This song is the perfect sonic embodiment of C U N T." (10) Walt: "hey i sent this once! this is def my favorite jessie song, it's so HOT" (9.2) James: (8.1) JUDGES: 68.5
JUDGES: 132.1 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 134.1 OVERALL SCORE: 804.5
You were actually leading the overall scores before this week, but your performance was rather weak this week and sadly you can't survive the tank. You have performed stellarly throughout the competition. Really stripping away from the bottom slayer edit you got the three other times you play, it's just sad and ironic that this time you get eliminated on your first bottom two appearance. Still, you have been a joy to watch and root for. Thank you for participating!

My original idea was to pair Fade Into You (Mazzy Star) with One More Time but decided to go a lil more risky and send I'd Rather Go Blind since its up there as one of my favorite songs ever made.
Probably would've won this round with that original combo but I have no regrets. BTW Whats Your Pleasure is literally pop perfection, Mayman snapped there.

The way I changed my song so many times this round, here is how it went:
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (immediately retracted because I forgot they have 2 Hot 100 hits) Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can (safe first thought pick) Lana Del Rey - West Coast (Rejected) [One of the 3 songs currently in] Kali Uchis ft. Steve Lacy - Just A Stranger Foxes - Forgive Yourself (changed out of cause I forgot MoD and Filthy would murder me) [Final pick]

It's almost time for the finale to begin, so let's chat with our fourth-place finisher, Mayman! samo: hi Mayman! how did you feel about your time in Last Stand?
Mayman: I really enjoyed it! When I played on season one, three, and four I was always ending up at the bottom of the results. My goal this season was to hopefully get out of doing that and perform more consistently, which I think I did! It sucks that I left with (prior to this round) the highest cumulative score and having zero prior bottom 2 placements lol.
samo: yesss you had an amazing run this season, I'm glad you feel the same way! how did you expect to do in this round?
Mayman: I'm going be honest I really thought I was going to do well! I thought "Candy Says" was a little riskier but I thought the judges would like it, which they did, but this late in the game getting multiple 7s can be detrimental. "What's Your Pleasure?" was really targeted for a few judges in particular, but I know that was a safer pick to potentially offset any bad scores the other song might get.
samo: i also think you had a strong pair of songs here, but (aside from maybe the second F7 round) this was the strongest group of songs we've had imo. WYP? absolutely should've saved you though what else were you thinking of sending for this round?
Mayman: I was really trying to send "Belinda Says" and "You Lose!" but the former isn't a guaranteed smash for points and the latter has already been sent this season. My next set I decided on was what I sent for this round.
samo: (if it were eligible) i would've loved to see that pair, Belinda Says would've been about a 9.8 for me where did you expect to finish at the start of the season?
Mayman: We needed you on the judging panel!! To answer your question, I expected to finish like 7-8th area. I thought the competition was really strong this season so I'm glad I went further than expected. I wish I could've made it just one step closer and had a shot at making the finals!
samo: "We needed you on the judging panel!!" you may not have to wait as long as you think... if you were still in, what do you think you would've sent for round 12? (songs from one-hit wonders that aren't their one hit)
Mayman: Honestly I'm not too sure. This seems like a easy round once you first read it but then when you look for stuff it gets a lot harder. With only three people remaining, you have to send something that you know will keep you in.
samo: totally, i was thinking about it yesterday and aside from Kate (since RUTH probably counts as her one hit if we only look at the US) idk who else I could send something from
Mayman: Yeah exactly! Like if you look at US, an artist like maybe Radiohead would maybe count (with "Creep") but if we're looking at the UK, they have several top 10 hits. So that is something else you have to take into consideration when looking for picks for this round.
samo: who do you think has the best chance of winning, and who are you rooting for?
Mayman: I think right now the person with the best chance of winning is the one who got third place last round. I'm rooting for District for sure, I hope they can pull out the win!
samo: and who do you think could be leaving next? afaik their cumulative scores are all pretty close now
Mayman: I'm really not sure. I think for District and BB, their best shot to win is if one of them wins and the other sends a way stronger pick than the other person playing the game and knocks them out. District and BB would probably prefer to be in the Final 2 with each other than the other option.
samo: what do you think about returning again? would you want to bless us with your taste as a judge or give it another shot as a contestant?
Mayman: I would probably play again. I enjoy playing and sending songs a lot more than judging. I'm not sure I ever want to judge a full season again but I'm always open to guest judging!
samo: i hear you, judging is less stressful but definitely more work than being a contestant any final thoughts on the season so far?
Mayman: I was looking over my "4th Place Mixtape" that Samb created and I was just astonished at how good my run was from Round 3 to Round 10. Like just look at the talent here: "동요 Restless Song" by Shadow Community "Pagan Poetry" by Bjork "Institutionalized" by Kendrick Lamar "F**kin' Problems" by A$AP Rocky "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder (still waiting on aero's response on why he gave this a 4) "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead "Redbone" by Childish Gambino "Nights" by Frank Ocean

Censoring a Muslim's name in a derogatory way... in my book, that's both a microagression AND a microinvalidation! Dig this: Mayman , you do NOT own those terms. And you will DEAL!
