First, I have to apologize for how long it took me to get this out, I have had a crazy schedule. Also, I have been extremely lazy and made far too many excuses for myself, so again I am really sorry for how long this took. I also would like to thank you all for not messaging me a thousand times asking about when grading will be out, yet also say that if you are wondering, feel free to ask! I won't mind unless in the least unless you send tons of messages. Also, there has been a policy change for this round.

The Bye: Justin Connor

Since Justin and Darius are written by the same Author, and Marissa (while she did have a fantastic entry) did not get the bye, there is no way to ensure that there would be any competition in the final. So, rather than giving Marissa an unfair pass, I am changing the policy. I have attempted to think about this from many angles, and be as unbiased as possible, but there is no perfect solution, so here is what I have decided to do. This is the final decision on this issue.

Voting will continue as normal, but what it means will be different.

No matter what happens, neither tribute will be eliminated, however who ever is "voted out" this round cannot place first in the finals (unless other tributes don't turn in, or obviously did assumed they would win and didn't really try, in which case this may be subject to change). This is because they would normally not continue onto the finals. However, there will still be competition, because the one "voted out" would still be trying to get second rather than third. To be more fair, this will stay the same even if Darius is voted out. I apologize for any unfairness but this is the best solution I can think of, and it will stay this way. If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to message me!
