im gonna be a good sport...
but geez, they're all like college aged?
O.o

The FANS? and judges have spoken...idk about that statement. Anyhoo. Good luck girls. Looks like you needed a drivers license and ability to buy a drink for this one. Tip for future contest: Don't spend any time on them....don't recruit any family of friends to vote for you....don't even bother reading the books. lol. I know people look up to me and I should not write this....but guess what. I needs to be said. (yeah adaM)

that's the same thing i was thinking, daneto.
i had a feeling the judges were going to do something funky like that, picking an adult for a teen role.
oh well. congrats ladies.

First off, Alaina maybe the most gifted actress on here. Her audtion was tops!

Second, Logen. (Logen shall be known as "The Total Package") This girl has the heart of a lion! She has so much talent in many different fields in the performing arts. And WHAT a voice she has. And she could easily be a stand up comic! LOL
I would not mistake Logen's tone here for sour grapes, but the competitor inside her is ferocious! Yet, she has the heart of angel and cares about others and is very helpful to all!
Peter Best is famous for being a drummer for the Beatles in the sixties. He is most famous for leaving the Beatles before they hit it big, making way for Ringo Star. Everybody knows Ringo.
Likewise, the Private series will be the ones known for passing on this 15yr old star, before she was a star.
I have no doubt that a real live audition, meeting her in person, would have resulted in a more positive result for Logen.

By the way, there were many excellent auditions and these girls that participated have way more courage than I! :)

Congratulations! Hope you guys have a good time. And good luck!

Awww hey you,
well said.
:)

They only chose adults? I guess that people under 18 never really had a chance. :P

Thanks Adam. I just got to know so many girls during this contest. So many were so excited. So many months we begged and begged for it. I have nobody to root for. No offense to the girls who won. Yall have a blast. I just thought maybe the whole idea of the reality series was to have a sugarloot twist to it...guess not. You should see my gift basket. Omgeeez it is so nice. Gonna have to donate some of the books to my school library. Iv'e read them :-)

aww. i'm sad they didn't go with teenagers, since that's what most of this website consists of! but that's okay, good luck to those who won! i'm sure you're going to have a blast [:

and Logen! you already got your prize too!? mine hasn't come yet ): i hope it does soon! i heard some other girls have gotten their's too!

Wow! Thats lame! I mean no offense but those girls weren't all that good. Janice did pretty good I enjoyed hers... but I thought the purpose was for a teen to get it. There was alot of great teens that did a great job. Ahh wells

wow...that's all i have to say..i think the Private series will regret their decision later.

^^that's the URL for this little blog. I just wanted to post it to point out something. You see the word after sugarloot? You know, the word TEEN. Yeah that one.

Sugarloot has become more and more teen focused since the Clique contest brought on so many more teens. Not to say adults can't still be on the site, there are many adults too contests, but this is mainly a TEEN website. So why on earth did they chose one of the rare 20 somethings in the private contest as winners?

I did not enter the contest, but I'm just trying to make a point because many of my friends did, and I'm tired of seeing sugarloot rip off its teen girls. Kiran is a TEENager, the contest was on a TEEN focused site, most of the girls who entered are TEENS. And the winners? All 21 or up. Last time I checked, 21 and up was considered an adult. No offense to the winners, I know it wasn't their choice to win and I hope they do well in the contest, but for all the teens, I have one question. Feeling a bit ripped off? Yeah, probably.

I'm not trying to complain, I'm trying to make a point. It's fine if they wanted 20 somethings to play Kiran, but why would they go to a teen focused, mainly teen populated site to find her then?

Im sorry but Im kinda disappointed in the winners. I saw better entrys.

Im sorry but Im kinda disappointed in the winners. I saw better entrys.

haha oh yes, the fine print. it always annoys me that you cant go back and look after the contest is over.

I am a fair player in contest but SL has disappointed me. How can an adult play a teen when a teen themselves are experiencing it? Also good point above. Notice the word TEEN after sugarloot?

Adults do play teens all the time. That isn't really the issue. The issue is, did the "Private" contest make it known to all the 17yr olds and under that they would not qualify for the reality show / audition, that they would only qualify for the gift packages. That is what the shame is here.
That's kinda like Lucy telling Charlie Brown to go ahead and kick the football while she holds it, and always pulling it away at the last second. I can see where some might be a little upset. If that would have been stated in the contest at the beginning, well, there would have been no problem.

what happened to SugarLoot Royalty? lol .. i coulda sworn they commented to this or something? i'm so confused.. hah

THERE YOU GO ADAM!

that's what i've been trying to point out to others who have a problem with me being upset over this.

sugarloot royalty is a joke lol, i think they got deleted

I wanna see you out that door. Baby, bye, bye, bye... Bye bye ... You may hate me but it aint no lie, Baby bye, bye, bye

wait deactivated? for what? did i miss somethingg?

deactivated or deleted, either way, i look like i am talking to myself up there. haha

i don't think people should be upset as they truly are because of this, and by "this" i mean the age discussion. i did say before that i was expecting the winners to be teenagers because this is a teenage website, but there are some adults here who have the same dream as all the teenagers here too. we don't know what the judges were looking for, so we can't really say anything about their choice. maybe the teenagers who had a lot of acting ability on here didn't look the part, maybe their voices sounded too young, there's tons of things that go through the deliberation of the winners, i'm sure. some teenagers did get a shot kind of though, all three of the alternates did. they had a shot that if one of the adult winners couldn't make it, they would take their spot. the judges saw potential in both teenagers AND adults. and you have to look at it an adult's point of view too. they could say, "well i look young, i can act, why do all the winners have to be teenagers?" it looks like looks had a lot to do with the winners, and i don't blame them. Kiran is supposed to look like a model. most models look older than their age. in the books, Kiran may be 16, but maybe she's supposed to LOOK much older than that. like Taylor Momsen from Gossip Girl. she's young, but she looks A LOT older than her age, she fits in with the cast more that way. i bet if the adults who won looked and sounded exactly how they do but were 16 years old, the judges still would have picked them. the judges have spoken, and we don't have any say in their choices. i think the best thing to do now is to try your hardest to move on. this is one opportunity, there are so many more out there. the key is to just keep trying. life isn't always fair, you just have to wait and see what your life will have in store for you.

Thank you Daneat!! You're da neatest!

There are tons of actors/actresses that are older than their characters age because they look under. Honestly, I think there were alot better entries than the 3 who won but I thought they were pretty good. I'm happy for the winners and wish them luck!

I wish you luck. I am VERY surprised at this, but i do think "Luvva" deserves it.

One more point[and im just stating some facts] : 2 of the winners had a very low score. Ik that doesnt really mean anything, but it doesnt really show how much they want this compared to the rest of us. Maybe they just have a lot of talent that the judges like them better than the other 1000 ppl, but it just seems they did it because they just wanted to "try it out" or something. Lol i also know WANTING something really bad and doing bad in an audition doesnt show the judges much, but they do have to put other things in consideration

It is very normal for teen characters to be portrayed by young adults! I'm confident that the winners will portray Kiran well :) Goodluck and congrats!

i dont think i ever came across their entries. so i cant judge how good they were since i cant see them also no offsense to some and i mean hope no one gets offended by this but some of the entries who were dying to win didnt even come close to fitting the description of the character. I never read the books so i only know the character was a white girl with green eyes and brown hair. Fans of the book would throw a fit if the description is that far off base. for instance to all you twilight fans. how would you feel if the had Edward portrayed as a Hispanic or black man in the movie?
once again i mean no offense
my person favs in this contest were Logen and Diamonds.
Also the reason why its sugarloot.teen is because teen.com is a sponsor of the site for those of you who have been for a while know that is wasn't always .teen im guessing sugarloot was having trouble trying to stay running

..has anyone hear noticed that adam looks remarkably like..Homer Simpson you dont think.... TWINSIES :O..
ehh i guess that makes since why they would be disappointing but does no one bother reading the rules?...I personally read the rules for every contest before I enter them i guess i just assumed everyone did the same idk

I read the rules. You would be suprised how much were in them actually. lol. Then someone would point something out and you would go back and re-read them and be like omgeeez how did i miss that. lol. Pretty lenghty. It did say they wanted Kiran to be 18 in the rules. She is a junior in high school in the first book and would be returning for another year of school after the fourth book so that would make her a senior then. Reed is a sophmore when she enters in Private and Kiran is older. So in the first four books she (kiran) is 16 and turning 17 in her Junior year of high school. I think once the reality series starts it will make better sense why older girls were chosen.

O.o i hate lengthy lol
i never saw the rules for private so idk
also i like your profile pi logen :)

I think I picked a good character actually...she has a big head. hahahahahaha. (laughing adam?)

LOL OH NO YOUR GONNA BE EATED
:P
but yea thats what i was trying to say earlier.

I HATE YOU, YOU RACIST MEANIE PANTS :'(
...
see no racist pig comments :P
lol of course im jk :)
yaaay now lets eat cheese doodle :P

"Cheese Whiz" Jade

BWHAHAHA i hurted your feelings because im evvvvil like canned meat :P
... lol and for insulting the wonders of cheese doodling NO COOKIE FOR YOU :)

I dont think Emma meant she watched my video and Mels in a negative way. She didn't watch the others because she just didn't feel like it. She has always been very supportive and Emma is Emma. You love her for being Emma.

This whole site is full of deceit if you ask me.

Ho hum pigs bum. I still remain.

so much drama!!!
They should just make a "Sugarloot drama- The series"
haha :)

It made alot more sense once they showed who the actors for the show are. They all seem to be in their 20's. Chord Overtstreet who is cast as Josh is so hot. Omg. Will be interesting to see how they portray the characters in the book. Good luck you three sugarloot winners. Hope one of you land the part as Kiran.

hey uhmmm, this is random.. but since they did a "teen" acting contest, dont u think it'd be right to do a "teen.." singing contest ? yeah i'm not really the acting type, im more of a singer. :D
