CLONING What is a clone? A clone is where 2 or more looks are exactly the same. Usually an experienced stylist will put together a look and others copy this in clone groups. There are many different clone groups some do open clones others exact clones or a combination of these. Exact clones An exact clone is as it sounds, everything is exactly the same from hair, MU, clothes, shoes to jewelry. They are identical copies in every way, shape and form. Although some clone groups allow for props or hair accessories to be omitted if these are not owned. Exact clones are all given the same score and they go into voting as separate looks. A while back Covet announced that clones go into voting as 1 look but this is not actually the case. Covet has since confirmed that they do in fact go into voting as separate looks and the above change was never implemented. All of the clones are given the same score as the highest scoring clone. The scores are adjusted once they come back from voting. So if you have 50 exact clones you basically have 50 chances to get a good score. The highest score is then given to all of the clones. But please note that Covet prevents 5 or more clones from getting top looks on all challenges apart from flashbacks. Although there have been a few glitches where a clone got a top look on a regular challenge but this is extremely rare. To increase the chance of getting a 5 you need to clone looks with as many participants as possible. In our experiment we found that around 40 participants was the magic number which seemed to guarantee a good score. If you omit the hair accessories used you will not get the same score. Same goes for some props too. You have the highest chance of getting a good score with exact clones without omitting any props or hair accessories. 37
