The 16 of you have been divided into two opposing teams. For this round, even though you are on teams; you will be writing individually. There will be 'face-offs'. Your goal is to beat your opponent. Whichever one of the two opposers has the most points, will score 3 points for his or her team. IF there is a tie, he or she will score 1 point for his or her team. The loser of the face-off will score 0 points for his or her team. The team with the most points at the end wins.
The losing team will lose 2 poets; so by the end of this round we will have 14 remaining.
The 2 poets who scored the lowest on his/her poem will be the two who are eliminated; regardless of whether or not either scored points for their team.

Results regarding who won and who lost the face-offs is presented on the contest page itself, in detail. Because Metaphormosis was defeated by Symbolicosis, that means Metaphormosis will lose its two lowest scoring members. Those two members, who are the first two eliminated from Teen Idol 7, are:
sleepingINblackRain (16th place overall)
and
Eots (15th place overall)
Both of you are very talented. I have enjoyed reading your work in this contest. I ask that both of you please stay in the group, for several reasons. The universal reason: in the event that I would have to bring one of you back into the contest.
If you need anything regarding constructive criticism, comments, or whatever; feel free to IM me and leave me the link. Good luck with everything you do.

acka wanga baba roo......wow....
I don't like lovey dovey, i'll reach for the moon or somevey....KK does! LOll.....big competition...i'm a loser, but its worth competing!
-
This is a really great prompt, but I don't have inspiration right now! I promise I'll get my entry in a day or two.
-
-
I added more to it so reread it and hopefully that helps.
I realized what I had before kind of didnt allow much freedom.
And you better enter or i'll have to hire a gangster to come track you down and stab you.
-
-
My muse is still lost and I don't wanna be stabbed by a gangsta!
-
-
ugh, fine. i'll just have to stab your long-lost muse then until comes back to you.
-
-
Oh, nonono, Mr. Tangled Angle Judge Sir, that won't be neccissary, I PROMISE!!! *runs off to find muse with a dog whistle*
-
-
-
-
-
Hey guys, I clarified the challenge more.
This should give you guys more freedom.
-
Thanks for clarifying the prompt. That really helps me with what I'm thinking about writing =]
-
Whew, I found my muse and got my poem in. Mine's a little bit different, but I hope you'll still accept it. Good luck with judging, and... um... Can I stop being stabbed by a gangsta now?
-
Fudge. Absolute fudge. I've just read all the entries so far and what little hope I had just burnt on that fudging bridge! Gah, they're awesome! How annoying ~~ though very expected.
-
-
what, you don't think yours is every bit as awesome? yours makes me wish we were on the same team.
-
-
NO of course I don't, I'm a poet, no poet likes their own work! Actually that's a lie. But still, I'm new to this, I'm allowed to have reservations
Even though we are on opposing teams (this time, maybe there'll be another round if we both get through [fingers crossed] where we are not!) it was nice to meet you and I wish you good luck! (Again, no doubt) -
-
WHAT! YOU DON'T WANT ME TO WIN???? *LE GASP*
LOL
-
-
-
-
I'm working, I'm working!!
Still here. I started writing on the first day of this contest; I've since written three and a half poems...didn't even finish the last one, it was so lousy.
Anyway, I am still here, and will enter. Could you pleeeeease have a poem gangsta threaten to stab *my* muse, too? -
-
lol! it's gonna cost you.
-
-
Tyler, I told you that I wouldn't be able to do good.
This is the first time I've been on in forever.
I'll guess I'll try to write now.
*sigh*
I knew I shouldn't have entered.
-
-
busy too, huh? :/

-
You definitely look like a movie star.
-
-
