Usually, once they've won one contest, it's known that the host fails to replicate similar success in the contest they host. Many have fallen victim to this "curse" but what did you give the hosts in their hosted contests?

15 out of the 24 contests I've taken part in, the hosts received nothing.

Don't remind me, I'm DIRE at following up my winners, it's like I lose all sense of what makes a good entry for a month :drama: Glad I'm not alone though! I guess it's because people are more inclined to take risks, or at least were before the one big final format where you were guaranteed a place no matter what. Seems that these risks rarely pay off though!

I followed a win with 3 further top 10s. Host's curse my ass :kink:

To be FAIR you did have the benefit of three months to recharge!

 

I tend to be 50/50. I decided to take advantage of the AQ slot with Gifted (I really, really should've gone for Rosanna/Sarah Connor in retrospect) and it didn't pay off, but when I didn't have to worry about it I did very well with The You Know Who/KillaBITE!

 

And quite right too, spectacular track.
