It's been a while since I watched a vlog but to celebrate Manny getting his rightful win last night and to pacify the fact Kaay was asking me to make a new VLOGWATCH I'm gonna make another VLOGWATCH.
Instead of using words, Alexa communicates in this stars plea using a series of messages written on bits of paper and cute facial expressions. But don't be alarmed! This isn't another rip off of those cliché dramatic anti bullying vids, Alexa simply didn't want her family to hear her rattling on about stars. We've all been there before, where we've muted Guitar so we're not heard listening to One Direction or hung up a call before our neighborhood was woken by KingMac, and this really gives the vlog a natural, relatable feel.
I'm giving this vlog a 7/10, and who's gonna stop me? Alexa marketed this as a 'LAME VLOG' and the viewers got exactly what was advertised. A small tree may have suffered to make it, but you can't say it wasn't worth it.
"As an ex-mute, this vlog really hits a chord with me!" - disneygeek
"Two ravens in the old oak tree and one for you and one for me, and bluebells in the late December. I see signs now all the time" - BlakeIsBack
"Alexa really makes good use of the paper, even using both sides and numbering the cards. Nothing is wasted!" - TheEclipse
While Alexa went with the notes-on-paper strategy to avoid her parents hearing her nattering about stars, Alec just nipped to the garage! We've seen the classic house backdrop and RealChance gave us a garden backdrop, now Alec is delivering his stars plea while casually leaning against his truck like a real streetwise superman.
I'm gonna give this vlog a 6/10. The garage backdrop may be more interesting than the stars plea, but Freddy throws in a little goody by offering signs for his supporters, and I've got to say I'm surprised he got voted out after this.
"That's one bad mothertrucker. Truck yeah bro!" - Gaiaphage
"Back sorry there was a badger in my garden and I wanted to look at it" - tommarkoliver
"It's a nightmare on Elm Street and guess who's playing Freddy?" - Etienne
I've got to say the production values on this vlog are sterling! While most Tengagers just shoot a quick bedroom video on their iPhone, Jeff got a high quality video camera and even cleared the room of all furniture (save for a table and keyboard) to get a better shot! Jeff tells us about his first time- but don't be alarmed! We're not talking virginity here. He tells us about his first job, first best friend, and shit like tha.
I give this vlog a *10/10* therefore winning the honours of *VLOG OF THE WEEK*! Jeff even cut down his vlog to 5 minutes of the bare essentials and put a nice little tune in the background to keep viewers entertained. Simply put, the overall aesthetics of this vlog have raised the bar for Tengaged blogs in future.

Girl Lover is BACK with this cover of "RuPaulogize", and no RuPaulogy is needed, as you can see the ladies man lip syncs every note spot on, lookin' like a younger version of Aquamarine. This just goes to show you can be a girl lover and still like lip syncing to drag queen songs.
"I'm a man with high standards, but this lip syncing really took the song to knew heights for me." - Brandonator
Krazy Killer, also known as The Wadester, gives us his rendition of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box. Just like the previous music vlog, Wade hits every note spot on for a cover that'd make Kurt proud.
"The fact that his neck beard fills the frame really adds a bit of mystery and intrigue to this bad boy!" - tinabeena
Now this guy? This guy is menthol orienthol. Bryce is the kinda guy who goes against the grain, he wears a button up to high school. While others hide in the garage or use cards for their stars plea, he does it in the middle of the classroom. Even when the teacher tells him off he carries on and gets the whole class joining in. Good job pal.
If there's one thing mekkin VLOGWATCH has taught me it's that the spell check on Opera is a big bag of bollocks, it corrected neighbourhood to neighborhood and tried to tell me 'relatable' isn't a word.
