The weekly Makeover2Takeover Challenges have become insanely more and more competitive as the contest has progressed. The pressure has been mounting as we head into the final stretch towards the Inman Connect in San Francisco. 16 Teams started this journey, and after today, only 6 Teams will remain!
(To find out all the details on the Week Six Challenge, GO HERE)
Here's a brief snapshot of this past week's Challenge:
"The Week Six Challenge will be for our Teams to create a Top Quality Local-Content Post on their ActiveRain Blogs. Both Apprentice and Mentor will each publish their own Local-Content articles pertaining to something specific within their respective markets. Make it fun, make it creative, make it useful information for your potential readers!"

A lot of hard work and effort went into every entry that was submitted this past week. We wish everyone could advance to the final round, but two teams must be eliminated this week. Make sure you access the links to all the outstanding entries in the 'Comments Section' of Last Week's Challenge Post.
The Makeover2Takeover Teams to be eliminated from competition this week are The KW Dynamic Divas, Darleen McCullen and Penny Robinson, and The Tex/LA Team, Joshua Lazaro and Liz Carter. It's a testament to all of your skills and abilities to have made it this far into the competition. We have enjoyed your involvement tremendously! We will be awarding each of you points for your participation, as well as a token of our appreciation to follow later.

For all the members of the ActiveRain Community, make sure to voice your words of encouragement and appreciation to all the Makeover2Takeover Teams!
Congratulations Deb and Lissa!!! You two deserve it, for sure. I am SO happy for both of you....Please pray for Melissa Grant. I just called her to wish her congratulations and found out her sister-in law was killed Sunday morning. This poor girl has been thru it. Please pray for her.
Elizabeth, I was on the phone with Lissa when you called! I'm sorry I missed you but I will call you back!
Meantime, wow. Wow. Wow. Did I mention...wow. I am so excited and happy and shocked and loving this moment...
I almost feel as if we won the lottery!
I read all the entries and I was so impressed with each and every one of them! I didn't feel confident at all this week. All the other weeks I felt we had a chance and obviously I was wrong! I just want to say that Lissa and I are both honored for this.
You all are a LOT of GREAT WRITERS! I'm humbled and grateful. Thank you.
Deb and Melissa - congrats to both of you! Your hard work is paying off! Darlene/Penny & Josh/Liz - to even have been selected for this contest is an incredible honor - hope to see lots more from you here!

Thank you everybody. Darleen, Penny, it has been an honor to compete with you also. I am so sad each week to see any of us go! We have all put so much effort, heart and good old fashioned work into this and it is such an honor to have been chosen to compete.
You ladies will hopefully stay in touch as I feel a strong tie between us! Thank you for all you've contributed.
Congratulations to Melissa and Deb - off to check it out. It's been interesting to see different folks coming out on top each week. The competition is heating up.
Congratulatioms to ALL - DreamWeavers and everyone who survived, plus those who were cut this week. I think every particpant got a lot out of this effort and will continue to do so in the future. I've already used my Week 2 challenge entry, and got a $2 million dollar listing, as a result.
Everyone deserves a big round of applause! <<clap clap>> What a great job!! The rest of us are the winners to be able to have all this great stuff as a resource!
Congrats Dreamweavers!!! Good job! Good job for everyone. This has been an awesome contest and there is still a little more to go. This has really been a good experience!!
Deb and Melissa - Congratulations to the both of you. Melissa- blessed are they that mourn for the Lord shall comfort them. May the Lord comfort you and your family during this mourning time. Stay blessed.
