  • Final notes:
    [Contestant: Carl’s score + Nijole’s score = total (average score)]

    Overall ranking
    1. Kaitlin: 182 + 187 = 369 (184.5)
    2. Cassidy: 180 + 184 = 364 (182.0)
    3. Lauren: 177 + 180 = 357 (178.5)

    8. Cassie: 146 + 171 = 317 (158.5)
    9. Bryan: 138 + 167 = 305 (152.5)

    (average score of everyone's average score combined: 169.2)

    Nijole and I both agreed that this round was probably the worst, overall. Ironically, this round was a trophy round. Interesting. haha -shrug- But anyway, perhaps it was the challenge. Half of the poems were noteworthy, the others were sort of in the background. If we're making excuses, then perhaps it was the difficult challenge, or perhaps some of you are just busy -- which is understandable. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that you're in the contest. Please find some time, especially over the weekend, to create such a poem that will show us what we know you are capable of.

    We love you guys. We want you to do well.

    PS. Nijole could not comment this round. She will be back next round.


    Ohhh and one more thing. Here is a deal.
    If the average score (out of everyone's average score) is at 169.2 or higher in round five, then round six will be a trophy round.
