Aaaaaand We Lost.

by rachaelgking on July 23, 2010 · 162 comments

It’s official. And now I go back to my normal, wonderful life with my crazy funny boyfriend, my ridiculously awesome friends, my two snugglebunny cats, and an e-crew of support like no other.

Thanks for everything, guys. I can’t help feeling like I let you all down after all the love and support you’ve thrown my way over the past couple weeks. It was a crazy ride, and I’ll never forget the way you all pulled for me. Truly.

On to the next adventure! (Who wants to get me a job in social media? GO!!!)

P.S. FINALLY, I CAN SAY “FUCK” ON TWITTER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Thank the baby Jesus.

That is fucking ridiculous! You were the leader for so long! I want a recount! Assholes!

2 Julie July 23, 2010 at 11:38 am

You’re always #1 to me.

3 Matt Stratton July 23, 2010 at 11:38 am

Don’t sweat it. I think the whole thing was a sham. You clearly deserved it. I’m just pleased in a way that you lost, because now I can go back to thinking MTV is completely useless…had you won, I’d actually have had to pay attention to MTV. That would have been terrible.

4 Wonderful July 23, 2010 at 11:39 am

Seriously we all love you regardless…and now you can appreciate living in DC even more…and who knows what other opportunities might open up for you! Especially since we’ve all seen your lovely face all over the internets & tv!

5 Stacey Paradise July 23, 2010 at 11:39 am

It was great fun watching you go through this and supporting you. I’m so sorry you lost – I don’t understand it, given that when I checked this morning you were in the lead. But that is neither here nor there.

For what it’s worth, MTV is missing out, BAD. xo

6 Kristina P. July 23, 2010 at 11:40 am

Oh, I’m really sorry. If I did the Twitter, I definitely would have voted. Boo.

7 The Maidern Metallurgist July 23, 2010 at 11:41 am

You didn’t let anybody down. Here’s to bigger and better things!

8 Mel July 23, 2010 at 11:41 am

That is crap! You totally deserved it! I’m sorry!!!

9 Kara July 23, 2010 at 11:42 am

Aww, I thought you were in for sure! MTV will never know the amazballsness they are missing out on. But – Bring on the F-bombs! I’m expecting a F-Bomb surplus from you in Tweetland.

10 carrie m July 23, 2010 at 11:43 am

Total bullshit. Which only confirms that MTV is a fucking joke. Well done, regardless. You rocked it.

11 Wendy July 23, 2010 at 11:44 am

I am so sad for you, BUT, you are amazing. And while you’re sad with the rest of the Tweeter world….well, dang it….pick your head up. Dust yourself off. And remember…..you’re clearly too good for that MTV Gig. I think we need a Lilu Nation Wide Tour of Awesomeness…..YES?

Seriously, well more seriously, thank you for all that you have done on the Tweets, dollface. Saving fur babies, getting us all to heart a new band, and falling more in love with your face than before….you did good, kid!

So proud of you! (Sorry, that was Mama-ish, but hell, I am a Mama.)

12 Alyxmyself July 24, 2010 at 10:21 am

@Wendy,

LILU NATION WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE! FTW!

13 Ben July 23, 2010 at 11:44 am

MTV can blow me. Seriously. That’s the only thing that would make them even remotely relevant after this. And that’s only if they’re really, really good at it.

14 Maxie July 23, 2010 at 1:59 pm

@Ben, Hello. my name is MTV.

15 Woolly July 23, 2010 at 2:59 pm

@Maxie, LOL….

16 Mandee July 23, 2010 at 11:44 am

dude, seriously. fuck MTV. that’s why they don’t even play music anymore. they’re missin’ out and we get to enjoy you FOREVAH now.

17 Shana July 23, 2010 at 11:46 am

Sorry you lost, but MTV sucks. You are still the winner to all your readers! And it was fun to watch all your tasks. Bring on the salty language!

18 Emily Jane July 23, 2010 at 11:51 am

MTV = a-holes. And now they don’t have you, they can enjoy spiralling into the oblivion of nobody caring because you would’ve brought them back into the 21st century in STYLE. Totally their loss, and I’m so sad about this, but know how many people were behind you and think you’re awesome :)

Onward to better things!!

19 mandy July 23, 2010 at 11:52 am

You are a rockstar regardless. The amount of time, dedication, and pure awesomeness you put into this contest was amazing. You rock!

20 Brutalism July 23, 2010 at 11:54 am

You did a great job and you never know what other opportunity might come out of this. Oh…and enjoy a few drinks this weekend.

21 Hotch Potchery July 23, 2010 at 11:54 am

oh man. I was so sure you had it…I waited to vote until the end, and you seemed clearly ahead. What a shame, you would have been really good at that job.

22 Matt Stratton July 23, 2010 at 12:18 pm

@Hotch Potchery, I think that the confusing thing was that they displayed the “score”, which you would think was related to voting, but it was some kind of weird “twitter influence” ranking, that nobody understands, and clearly MTV just ignored anyway.

23 Wendy July 23, 2010 at 12:42 pm

@Matt Stratton,
She still had the highest score, after it all was over….as in…like 4 points higher than the person they are saying is in first place. So….they are dumb. Although, I feel like we need to tell MTV that she needs her own reality show….

24 Matt Stratton July 23, 2010 at 12:44 pm

@Wendy, Right, but the “TweetLevel” wasn’t the Facebook votes, right? My point was just that they were doing some cross-promote with Edelman to show off this “TweetLevel” thing, but it was clearly not a factor. Lame.

25 Alyxmyself July 24, 2010 at 10:23 am

@Wendy,
Yes! Lilu reality show DC, how awesome would that be?

26 DC Princess July 23, 2010 at 11:55 am

Eff MTV.

You know what this proved? How awesome you are and how much influence YOU have because people love and support YOU, not MTV.

Remember that.

You’re destined for big things baby and we’ll be there every step of the way.

27 LesleyG July 23, 2010 at 11:55 am

I know bigger and better sounds cliche, but in this case it’s completely and totally true. Onward! You work hard and kick ass and that is no secret to anyone.

28 Brown Girl July 23, 2010 at 11:56 am

This is bullshit.

I’m never watching MTV again. Assholes.

29 doniree July 23, 2010 at 11:56 am

you are amazing and you KILLED that. They lost, not you love. You’re still my #1 masshole :) Can’t wait to see you do BIGGER things and kick MTV’s ass.

30 Lauren July 23, 2010 at 11:58 am

There is no reason you shouldn’t have had that. It is sad BUT you did a fantastic job and gave it your all. I would have never been able to have the motivation and energy for that, it must have been exhausting.

MTV is not worthy!

and hooray for being able to say fuck again on the twitter!!

31 Del-V July 23, 2010 at 11:59 am

That sucks. You would have been perfect for that job. It just goes to show that MTV has been out of touch with what people really want ever since they stopped showing music videos 24/7.

I guess the good news is that you can stay in DC.

32 AuntBT July 23, 2010 at 11:59 am

Obv MTV can’t count. After all, they did kill the radio star.

33 Travis July 23, 2010 at 12:00 pm

You’re going to be just fine. Fuck MTV, anyway. You know, not literally though. Unless you think they’d give you a recount.

You’re alright, kiddo. Even if you are a Chapel Hill grad.

I’m Team Lilu all the way!

34 Mindy July 23, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Lady, you didn’t let us down in the least bit. We were all here to cheer you on, wish you the best, and cross our fingers that this worked out. Sadly, it didn’t — fuck MTV! — but now we’ll all be here if you need to rant about it, cry about it, or even just need a reminder that we’re all too old for MTV programming anyway.

HUGS!

35 Kelly July 23, 2010 at 12:01 pm

Lame. And then lame again. And then even more lame once more. You totally should have won!!!

36 Ali July 23, 2010 at 12:01 pm

I don’t get it, and I probably never will. As far as I’m (and everyone else in this little blogosphere is) concerned? You are the MTV TJ. The end.

xo

37 fizzgigabyte July 23, 2010 at 12:02 pm

well, if ever there was a consellation for losing, its that you can say fuck it on twitter.

i can relate!

38 Bev July 23, 2010 at 12:03 pm

Aw. It’s THEIR loss, not yours. You are just getting warmed up!!! I’m so impressed that you’ve already gotten the attention of the likes of MTV at such a young age. I feel certain that you’ll find your spot in the limelight someday soon!

39 Melissa July 23, 2010 at 12:03 pm

You deserved it more than anyone else. I just want to know which of the final 5 have personal ties to MTV because there’s no other reason for you to be left out.

Oooh I know the problem…they looked at how much you improve over the challenges. You were so awesome before MTVTJ, it’s hard to improve perfection!

40 Shannon July 23, 2010 at 12:03 pm

That sucks, I’m sorry! MTV lost all credibility when they stopped playing in music and put Speidi on t.v. instead. Eff ‘em.

41 Tess July 23, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Not a big loss in my opinion. I mean really, how many MTV peeps ever amounted to shit? I can’t think of one MTV VJ that is still popular for anything other than drugs or sleeping with someone famous. Even Carson Daly only gets to dust himself off for New Years Eve!!

42 Dorn July 23, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Seriously? How did they choose? You had the highest score just an hour ago! Not even two days ago did you have the second highest votes! I call Bullshit!

43 Corinne July 23, 2010 at 12:05 pm

MTV is missing out. Not you.
Things happen for a reason, and although it SUCKS you should be so proud of yourself. You did AWESOME. You don’t need a TV station to judge that for you.
You are amazing; we all know that :)

44 poodlegoose July 23, 2010 at 12:05 pm

That “voting” was actually kind of stupid. It really does seem rigged from the start as “they” get to figure out how well each person did in the challenges. Eh, whatever. We’re super proud, and now you know how much we love you and get to see the results on the intertubes :)

45 Megan July 23, 2010 at 12:06 pm

I’d do it all over again (giving you the support, I mean). You have so much ahead of you! You can now move on to bigger and better things.

I think you did amazing, by the way! You rocked every challenge, and you tweeted your heart out.

46 Ashley, the Accidental Olympian July 23, 2010 at 12:09 pm

Damn.

Not ‘damn’ because I’m disappointed in YOU, but ‘damn’ because they didn’t see you were the better person!

Hell I don’t even have Twitter so I was like NO help, but still. I thought you had it in the bag.

Their loss.

No seriously.

47 Jessica July 23, 2010 at 12:10 pm

BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!

On the plus side, it was totally fun rooting for you.

48 WendyB July 23, 2010 at 12:10 pm

You’re the winner to me!

49 Kristin July 23, 2010 at 12:11 pm

No one is disappointed in YOU at all; we are disappointed in MTV. You were clearly the best choice, and they completely blew it!

50 Malnurtured Snay July 23, 2010 at 12:13 pm

I was pulling for you to win … but I’m kind of glad you didn’t, because now I don’t have to pretend to like MTV anymore. Once they passed over music videos for “Look at how rich children have five horses and two cars and three butlers and think they’ve got it rough”, I lost all interest in ‘em. Rather watch the toilet bowl flush.

51 CB July 23, 2010 at 12:16 pm

I’m sorry hoe! I heart you!

52 Michelle July 23, 2010 at 12:17 pm

SHAM. I call shenanigans on this. You were in the lead like 3.2 seconds before the voting ended. WHATEVER now we get you all to ourselves!!! =)

53 magnolia July 23, 2010 at 12:18 pm

for so many reasons, you’re better than this. (and not just for introducing me to redline addiction.) can’t wait to see what you take on next! :)

54 Jaxie July 23, 2010 at 12:25 pm

I’ll echo what everyone else has already said. They weren’t worthy of your awesomeness. You’ll always be #1 to us.

55 Grace July 23, 2010 at 12:25 pm

You did not let us down at all. We LOVE you and are so proud of you. You are going places, chica. BIG THINGS!

56 k8 July 23, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Dude! This just means that something bigger and better is waiting for you. You KNOW how I talk to The Universe and all! Booyah chica! You’re awesomesauce ALL THE TIME.

57 gingermandy July 23, 2010 at 12:31 pm

Kinda seems like the winners were already chosen. But seriously, MTV sucks. At least we don’t have to pretend they’re relevant for your sake anymore! (not that it wouldn’t have been awesome for you but SERIOUSLY.)

58 LA Cochran July 23, 2010 at 12:32 pm

*hugs*

I’m selfish. If you’d gone on to do this, I would have been happy for you but sad for us because you wouldn’t be around in the way we’ve become accustomed to you. I’m jerky like that.

The fact that you were in the top 20 is an *amazing* accomplishment. You went for it and we’re proud of you!

59 Liz July 23, 2010 at 12:37 pm

*hugs*

Lady, you deserved it and let’s face it, you were too fucking cool for MTV all along.

However, I now encourage you to drink heavily. In fact, I have tequila right here…

60 Charm City Barfly July 23, 2010 at 12:38 pm

I should say that you were robbed, but you know what? MTV robbed themselves of your awesomeness. You are way cooler than MTV can ever be. That channel just isn’t relevant anymore.

On the plus side, you should probably visit my site today. I have something special just for you :-)

61 Carla @ I Run, You Run July 23, 2010 at 12:38 pm

As I said, I’m LIVID. I think the whole thing was a sham, because they didn’t even take voting into consideration. Then if it’s a sham, why bother?

I guess you’re not jersey shore enough for them. God forbid you’re NORMAL and that people still like you for that.

Good work though!

(And I have removed ZYNC from my “like” list.)

62 sabine01 July 23, 2010 at 12:40 pm

Disappointed at the result, but definitely not at you.
And hey… we can’t have you *not* dropping F-bombs forever, hon!

Hope to see you at a another meet-up soon.
~S~

63 citygal July 23, 2010 at 12:41 pm

Noooooooo!!! I can’t believe it. Something better is in store for you…like maybe your own show on E! haha ;)

64 Elly Lou July 23, 2010 at 12:41 pm

Boo. Hiss. You can still tell me what videos to watch any time.

65 hillary July 23, 2010 at 12:42 pm

YOU did not let us down. MTV let us down.
love you bunches

66 Bri July 23, 2010 at 12:44 pm

I honestly CANNOT believe you didn’t win! I’m only a casual reader, but I thought with all the attention on twitter you were a shoo-in. You worked very hard and everyone could tell, I’m sorry you didn’t go further, but I definitely think a social media career is in your future. Turn that enthusiasm on your next challenge and I have every confidence you will go far. ;)

67 Akirah July 23, 2010 at 12:46 pm

You can say “fuck” on Twitter again. The silver lining. I’m glad you found it.

:)

68 Mike129 July 23, 2010 at 12:48 pm

I’m sorry.

But you did a GREAT job! I’d have picked you … easy!

69 Andygirl July 23, 2010 at 12:52 pm

I’m sorry, honey! Boo.

So I didn’t want to say this when you were rockin the lobster so hardcore, but I worked for MTV a million years ago and they’re all assholes. You don’t want to work for such a douchebaggery, trust. You’re too good for MTV!

70 Michelle (bikramyogachick) July 23, 2010 at 12:54 pm

YOU didn’t let us down my dear, apparently we let you down! I’m sorry to hear that MTV are such jackasses!
Say the F word all you want on twitter now!
We LOVE you!!!

71 Lusty Reader July 23, 2010 at 12:57 pm

when i was little and someone didn’t like me, or i was getting teased really bad my mom would always say “they’re just jealous.” it was her stock response so i feel like saying it now. im not sure how that would apply, but yeah, FUCK THAT NOISE.

i call bull-to-the-shit. seriously lame that it didn’t work out when you were so clearly ahead, but im sure this is the start of bigger and better things.

72 Hannah July 23, 2010 at 1:00 pm

Ohhhhhhhhh, man! I seriously thought you had this one in the BAG. But, you gave it your all, and that’s what counts, right?

You did an amazing job, lady. Bravo. Now go get a burger and a beer and rest your Tweeting fingers for awhile. :)

73 Tyler July 23, 2010 at 1:02 pm

Wow, I am so suprised!! I thought that for sure you would get it… Sorry.

74 Lacey Bean July 23, 2010 at 1:05 pm

There is NO WAY that YOU let us down. You fool!! MTV let everyone down by being jackasses who don’t pick the clear leader/most awesome person. Eff them. YOU RULE.

75 A Super Girl July 23, 2010 at 1:07 pm

So super lame. I just can’t even fathom how this is possible! But, on the bright side…no move to NYC. Because D.C. totally outshines that hole of an island ;-)

76 Taylor July 23, 2010 at 1:07 pm

DISLIKE. But who knows what other opportunities are gonna arise from this? It all happens for a reason, baby. We’re all here for you!

77 Kristin July 23, 2010 at 1:09 pm

This reminds me of a certain election when a certain person whose daddy used to be President ended up winning even through he clearly didn’t have as many votes as the other guy? You see how that one ended up.

Way to suck it MTV.

78 Ams July 23, 2010 at 1:10 pm

I AM SO SORRY!!!
You were amazing lady….
*Hugs*

79 Kristin July 23, 2010 at 1:10 pm

..and truth, you in no way let anyone down.

80 moooooog35 July 23, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Look on the bright side, Lilu.

If I figure out what that is, I’ll actually finish this comment appropriately.

You know where I stand on all of this.

The Universe will adjust and you’ll get something better that’s more deserving of your grace and talent and breasts.

81 lexa July 23, 2010 at 1:12 pm

Fuck MTV with a thorn bush.

82 Ashley July 23, 2010 at 1:15 pm

MTV is the only one who let us down. I feel like saying something cheesy like, “You lifted us up.” Yes, I’ll go with that. Something big is on the horizon.

83 Vegetable Assassin July 23, 2010 at 1:18 pm

I don’t think you’re quite trashy enough for MTV truly. I mean you look like you can count and spell and stuff and you don’t look like a guidette with an IQ of 40. What I’m saying is, pah, screw’ em, you’ll get bigger better opportunities. Sorry man!

Although Lexa, above me a couple there, may have put it much better.

84 Nikki July 23, 2010 at 1:21 pm

WTF?! I feel like we let you down. I blame my facebook friends who looked at me like a heard of sheep when I told them to vote. So sorry. Something good will come of this. Trust.

85 Paul B July 23, 2010 at 1:46 pm

You got shafted there champ…
the way it was presented it looked like a voting thing and had you at the top, but the MTV choads were not upfront about how the decisions were made from where I sit.

bait and switch… and pure shenanigans.

sorry you got dissed like that, fuck’em. IF there is a positive, you are now feeling the mad-love that only the warm glow of a screen full of your people can give.

maybe you could call out a flash-mob on MTV with your twitter-verse… I bet the LiLu Army rolls a few thousand deep. Maybe need to get shirts and stuff.

Lilu won MTVTJ contest *cough* and all she got was this shirt.

86 lisagolden July 23, 2010 at 1:46 pm

You’re my winner. I mean that. Your time will come.

87 KiKi July 23, 2010 at 1:57 pm

So sorry to hear it…you TOTALLY got shafted!!! And as others stated above, you didn’t let down anyone. Just the opposite!

88 Cari S. July 23, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Aww! What the hell! That sucks, I’m sorry!

89 Maxie July 23, 2010 at 2:01 pm

I love you, wifey. They can eat shit and die.

90 Nora July 23, 2010 at 2:10 pm

You didn’t fail us, not one bit.
I’m incredibly proud of you, think you’re just as fabulous as always and have an even bigger blog crush on you than before.
MTV can go screw themselves. Lord knows I won’t watch them after all this BS.

91 spleeness July 23, 2010 at 2:21 pm

Let us down? How could you possibly have let us down? This loss means awesome things actually: that personality gets noticed online, that dreams can be big, that there’s a whole new world opening up out there, and that the community of peeps supporting you is huge and loyal and will do anything because you make our asses laugh. And YES thank the baby Jesus you can cuss again!

92 kate July 23, 2010 at 2:21 pm

Ehh, the top 5 all sound like douchebags anyway…MTV probably didn’t want to put you up against them because you would’ve made them all look stupid.

93 Layda July 23, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Absolutely not! I went bed after making 3 pseudo fb accounts and voted for you knowing that we had it in the bag. I still think you’re pretty kickass and you’re still one of the only blogs I read religiously. Eff MTV, VH1 here we come!

94 J July 23, 2010 at 2:23 pm

You’re too cool for MTV anyway. I think they instinctively felt it. They were threatened by your ultimate awesomeness…because, let’s be honest, they created “The Hills.”

95 Cyndy July 23, 2010 at 2:32 pm

Well you deserved to win, and it’s their loss more than yours. Onwards and Upwards!

96 allison July 23, 2010 at 2:34 pm

you are a badass. i dont get it. f-bombs are back baby!

97 BrianaJae July 23, 2010 at 2:46 pm

MTV let us down by apparently changing the rules.

98 suicide_blond July 23, 2010 at 2:51 pm

youre a winner in our book…you did a GREAT job.. i was soo proud of you!
xoxo

99 Gnetch July 23, 2010 at 3:08 pm

So sorry. You would have won if they counted the votes from non-U.S. residents.

But it was fun whoring you out. :)

100 Woolly July 23, 2010 at 3:09 pm

I call shenanigans’…. it was rigged….. you are one cool chick, and for the record you would have been the only reason that I would have watched MTV!!! Three of the people that got in have the personality of rock… and reading what they wrote was like jamming hot needles in my eyes!
in my humble opinion MTV coughed up the ball huge!!!……

MTV can suck it, or @Ben which ever they prefer!

101 Luna July 23, 2010 at 3:24 pm

Seriously, I read the list of so-called “winners” three or times because I just didn’t understand why your name wasn’t among them. It’s a farce, plain and simple. YOU, my dear, did not let us down. MTV sucks. And I think there needs to be a Boycott MTV facebook fan page to demonstrate to them how much they suck.

102 OneBlondeGirl July 23, 2010 at 3:31 pm

MTV sucks, you rock, glad to have you back.

103 Heidi Renée July 23, 2010 at 3:38 pm

I think those results are about as real as The Real World.

104 Lil' Woman July 23, 2010 at 3:39 pm

MTV IS BULLSHIT!!!
Who wouldn’t want our lovely Lilu?!?

O well. More time for you to spend on more important things like Kitten Mittons : )

105 Marie July 23, 2010 at 3:41 pm

I’m not sure what you’re apologizing for so please stop. MTV is an Ass Monkey and don’t know what they are missing out on.

106 Coffeypot July 23, 2010 at 3:49 pm

You didn’t let me down. And in honor of you getting your freedom of speech back on tweeter, FUCK IT.

107 Miriam July 23, 2010 at 3:54 pm

I’m still trying to figure out how they even settled on the Top 4. (B/c Gabifresh I get being the vote winner, hate it, but still get it.)

Anywhoodles, you’re still awesome-sauce and you’ll always be my TJ :)

108 Jennifer Berthiaume July 23, 2010 at 4:00 pm

I’m just saying, there were 15 comments on the Final Results on MTV.com and only ONE mentioned support for a candidate other than LiLu. Just fucking saying.

109 OG July 23, 2010 at 4:06 pm

That blows…maybe you should just start your own TV network. There…problem solved

110 Kandace July 23, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Fuck MTV. That voting was just a sham for advertising. Sadly it had the Opposite effect by making so many people say screw you mtv & screw american express for being the advertising. I commented on FB & havd had several Likes on my comment about the BS.

you totally deserved it.

instead you’ll find something better & they’l be like Fuck why did we Do that???

so. What’s next for the Fabulous Lilu?

111 Shop Girl* July 23, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Words cannot express how unimpressed I am right now. Something was clearly rigged–you didn’t let us down at all!! I think that what you’ve done in the past few weeks is an amazing accomplishment, and you’ve just set yourself up for some amazing oppourtunities which are bound to come your way because, well, you’re Lilu. And Lilu is FABULOUS.

I know it sucks, but don’t be too sad. We love you and we’ll be with you to support you on your next adventure, whatever that may be!

Fuck MTV in the Facebook.

113 Cait July 23, 2010 at 4:35 pm

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

I can’t believe what a sham this turned out to be. I love how they just disregarded all of your extremely hard work and the dedication of your follows/voters. Ridiculous. What a joke.

MTV can go die in a car fire, for all I care. You deserved to be TJ, plain and simple. But like many other people have said – this just means that something bigger and better is coming your way.

114 maddy July 23, 2010 at 4:47 pm

you’re too fuckin’ good for MTV anyway. and at least now you don’t have to live far away from B and your meaty, beautiful cats. I also agree with the person who called this a sham because it really, really, really seemed like you had this in the bag! you had celebrity followers! fuck you, MTV!

115 Kristy July 23, 2010 at 5:10 pm

Seriously. don’t. belive. it.

I just logged on totally ready for your victory post and now I feel so deflated. You didn’t let anyone down, MTV have let YOU down (an subsequently us). Fucking mother fucking shit ball anus crack head fucktards.

They post you as #1 for ages on their site and then all of a sudden you’re not. What kind of voting system is that, is this Zimbabwe? I feel fooled, had I not of thought you were a sure thing maybe I would have pulled out more stops?

You’re in America, I think you should sue them.

116 BigMamaCass July 23, 2010 at 5:14 pm

I am seriously beyond pissed about this. MTV can suck it. I told them so in a letter today.

JERKS!!!

Bring on the fuckin!

In your tweets I mean.

The word.

You know. :)

117 Meg July 23, 2010 at 5:20 pm

Nooooooo! Ugh, I’m so bummed! You’re so awesome for trying though!

118 Tigerlily July 23, 2010 at 5:30 pm

I totally thought you had that locked up! I live in Canada and MTV is like a mythical channel that I know all about buy have never seen. So I say its time to brush up on your Canadiana and try to temp MuchMusic into making you Their (our) first TJ!

119 Julie @ Wearing Mascara July 23, 2010 at 5:44 pm

So lame but you have a great attitude.

FUCK. Ah, that feels good.

120 rebel mel July 23, 2010 at 5:45 pm

I have been searching for a social media job for the past couple years. I think you and I should just come up with a get rich quick scheme instead. You know, one that actually works.

We love you, and honestly, most of us are relieved because now we don’t have to watch MTV just to see your beautiful face.

MTV made a huge mistake not picking you though!

121 LB July 23, 2010 at 5:57 pm

Oh, crap! Sorry to hear that. FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!! Tweet away, girlfriend!

122 Kelly L July 23, 2010 at 6:16 pm

Aww, bummer dude. I even allowed a random facebook app onto (into?) my profile just so I could vote for you. :(

123 Skinny Dip July 23, 2010 at 6:26 pm

I’m so sorry! Honestly, I can’t imagine MTV finding someone more awesome than you. It’s their (and America’s!!) loss.

Move to Canada, I have a contact @ MTV Canada ;)

124 Jenny DB July 23, 2010 at 6:55 pm

I’m sorry that sucks a big fat one.

125 Tara July 23, 2010 at 7:17 pm

Aw sweetie, I’m sorry. *Big hug!*

I’ll be honest, I am totally shocked. I would have never thought you wouldn’t be one of the finalists. You are OUR winner, though and you couldn’t let us down. I’m proud of you anyway!

126 tara July 23, 2010 at 8:37 pm

that shit pisses me off. i’m so sorry girl. you should’ve won! you got robbed!

127 gabby July 23, 2010 at 9:43 pm

Well, fuckery fuck. I’m sorry, ladylove. I was so sure you had it in the bag, but I would think that about you for anything, that’s how great I know you are.

128 Nicole July 23, 2010 at 9:45 pm

Literally broke my heart! For the record you were totally robbed! Total MTV loss! Proud of all your hard work! =D

129 sammy July 23, 2010 at 10:59 pm

well shit.

at least you get to tweet ‘fuck’ again…see, the glass is always half full ; )

130 Barbara July 23, 2010 at 11:00 pm

In the back of my head, I had a feeling that this shit would happen. MTV is complete bullshit and you not being selected for top 5 validates my theory that they had the person picked out the entire time and just used this “contest” as a marketing tool to make people feel involved and hype it up.

I’m really sorry, girl. Try not to sweat it. Everyone knows you worked your ass off trying.

131 MsDarkstar July 23, 2010 at 11:25 pm

I am totally and completely disappointed…. in MTV.

You, my dear, are a Rockstar and I know that you poured your heart and soul into this.

The bright side is that now you don’t have to move away from the awesome B and (as someone else brilliantly noted) your meaty kittehs!

Someday you’ll look back on this as “remember that one time when MTV blew their chance to have me working for them…”

Love you long time!

132 An American Girl in Asia July 24, 2010 at 12:26 am

I’m actually really really shocked! I so thought you had it in the bag! Lame decision MTV. Lame.

133 danielle July 24, 2010 at 12:51 am

poop ): i voted for you.

who needs mtv, anyway?

(other then us all).

134 MandyMoore July 24, 2010 at 1:08 am

LiLu, you were robbed. Probably by Alexis Niers. Screw MTV. They obviously don’t know a good thing when they have it. It had to be rigged. You were in the top 5 the whole damn time. You didn’t let anyone down. You are funny, amazing, and I’m proud to know you.

OH! And I will always represent you as a manager. I’m proud of you!

135 Wendy July 24, 2010 at 3:19 am

You’re too cool for MTV anyway. Fuck ‘em.

136 Badass Geek July 24, 2010 at 8:56 am

Sorry, dude. They don’t know what they’re missing.

137 Nikolett July 24, 2010 at 9:15 am

Ahh lady … their loss, seriously. You don’t need MTV to make you awesome — you already ARE awesome; MTV needs YOU to make them awesome and I don’t understand how you -COULDN’T- be in the top 5 if I saw you were in the lead for quite some time … but yes, you’re amazing :)

138 Kandid Kelli July 24, 2010 at 10:14 am

You could never let us [me] down. MTV let me down. No one will be nearly as good as you [TWSS]

xo
-K

139 Allison July 24, 2010 at 12:42 pm

You could seriously never let us down – MTV made a HUGE mistake, and I don’t even understand how it’s possible that you didn’t win since you were the front-runner for so long. I was in shock – but I’m happy that you can now be as vulgar as you want to via Twitter! :)

140 Stephany July 24, 2010 at 12:45 pm

This is absolute crap! I don’t know what MTV’s thinking was but hell, IT’S MTV! What do they do anyway?! They’re crap, they always were crap, and they will remain crap. This pisses me off…but it’s just obvious you were too good for them, and you have some AMAZING THINGS in store for you in the future.

AMAZING! You didn’t let us down at all. MTV did.

141 Lollygagger July 24, 2010 at 1:43 pm

MTV wasn’t ready for someone as cool as you (because they’re idiots imho) !!

142 Vixations July 24, 2010 at 5:21 pm

I didn’t read anyone else’s comments, so maybe they have some insight into this, but WHAT. THE. FUCK? You were ahead! I don’t understand. Did they say anything to you about it? They obviously didn’t do it by votes. Seriously! You were like number 2 when I checked like right before 5pm! This is BULLSHIT I say! BULLSHIT!!!!

You can be my social media girl when I start my own strip club. Ahem. *Business*

143 Jen King July 24, 2010 at 7:29 pm

Good try! I wouldn’t have had the balls to give it a shot. I’m proud of you and look on the bright side; now you don’t have to move to NY city. XO–yer cuz JEN

144 Kristin July 24, 2010 at 7:32 pm

You got robbed and you most definitely didn’t let anyone down!

145 Christina Harper July 25, 2010 at 1:32 am

You may not have wom the contest, but, trust me, what you got in the end counts for a helluva lot more. You tried something and you made it damn close. You grew a following. You got virtually famouser. That’s more than a lot of people can say. Hell, that’s more than MOST people can say. You’ve still got the suport of all of us fans and some new fans as well.

I don’t consider this a loss for you, but a strange kind of little victory.

Or maybe that’s just me: Christina The Eternal Pessimistic Optimist

146 georgia July 25, 2010 at 3:34 am

Sending you hugs and earnest high fives. You kicked ass, my dear, and could never let us, your rabid Internet fan base down. I think the best thing for you to do at this point, is to have an underwear dance party in your living room with your darling boyfriend while blasting “On To The Next One” by Jay Z. The public at large has yet to see the last of LiLo.

147 Susan July 25, 2010 at 7:02 am

How could you let anyone down? You are amazing.

148 terra July 25, 2010 at 2:49 pm

MTV just couldn’t handle your awesome. They’ve sucked hard core for the past 10 years anyway and clearly they weren’t interested in heading back in the direction of fabulous. It’s their loss.

149 Jessica July 25, 2010 at 8:00 pm

I saw that Friday morning. I’m really sorry. MTV sucks anyhow, you are going to be better off without them and their BS.

150 ExMi July 26, 2010 at 3:09 am

agh, that sucks. MTV doesn’t know what they’re missing out on.

On the other hand, the ability to say FUCK on twitter is not something that should go unappreciated….

151 jen July 26, 2010 at 9:45 am

I still don’t get it! I don’t even care if it says in MTV’s stupid rule book that their decision is final…they didn’t stick to their other rules of using Tweetlevel and the Facebook voting to choose the contestants! Possiblt the cruelest thing they’ve ever done to someone! (Possibly!).

You’re definitely my winner! x

152 Kate Coveny Hood July 26, 2010 at 9:50 am

Something even better is on the horizon. You can do anything. Thanks for letting us watch.

153 Mike July 26, 2010 at 10:05 am

You did a HELL of a job though. And worked hard. You got the spirit, that’s for sure. And MTV doesn’t know what it’s giving up on. Dumbass’s.

I shall now go beat MTV with bieber and that ditto rapper kid whatever you interviewed, just like I promised.

154 Allison July 26, 2010 at 10:08 am

those bastards.

155 Tricia July 26, 2010 at 10:29 am

This is exactly why we are now all boycotting MTV. Although I did watch the Teen Mom and Baby High yesterday . . . *hangs head in shame*

Can’t wait to see you Saturday!

156 Deutlich July 26, 2010 at 10:34 am

I’d rather you be DC’s supahsta than up in NYC anyway…

True story.

157 michelle woo July 26, 2010 at 10:50 am

They suck. You’re an inspiration.

158 Julie Q July 26, 2010 at 1:42 pm

Awww I’m sorry to hear that. Its MTV’s loss!!!

I’m so proud of you.. who goes from blogging to twitter to 4,000 followers to MTV contacting them because they rock? There will be plenty of new awesome opportunities that will pop up. Plus NYC is just a poor man’s boston. hahahaha jk

159 Ellen@FirednFabulous July 26, 2010 at 1:42 pm

That really sucks, but I just KNOW that something even more fab is heading your way. Can’t wait to see what it is!

160 meleah rebeccah July 26, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Well, this just fucking sucks!

161 Princess of Sarcasm July 27, 2010 at 9:08 am

You would have been underpaid for your job anyway. I had a friend who worked for MTV a long time ago. She said so many people were chomping at the bit to work for them that they were able to get away with paying peanuts. She left to go to Nickelodeon doing the same job and got almost twice the money! AND she dealt with way less assholes. Sorry your hard work was not rewarded. I’m going to go “unlike” that zynga thing or whatever it was…..

162 Herself July 28, 2010 at 8:31 am

Utterly ridiculous. You should’ve won. *shakes fist angrily at MTV*
