>>7005091It's tough to be competing in this contest when we've got real life issues to deal with. Not trying to be a crybaby about it or anything like that. It's pretty mentally draining when we've got to keep coming up with new ideas, finding time to style them, and be judged (incredibly harshly by some). I really don't blame some of the other contestants for dropping out like they did. Real life has got to come first in a contest that's taking this long. I can't really speak for the obligations the other contestants have that are still left, but I've got a full time job where I work 40+ hours, cons to prep for, and dealing with the recent death of my grandfather (which actually happened in the middle of this last challenge) and the news that my grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and has less than 6 months to live (which again, happened in the middle of a challenge). It's just very draining to add this contest on top of what we already have to deal with. Not saying it's impossible, but you really shouldn't judge the contestants until you know the reasoning behind why they dropped.
