I had so much fun with this chapter last time that I did it again. You guys sent lower scores on average this year, which is cool. Sometimes people get carried away. I took the scores you requested, so if a weaker Tribute got a higher score than yours, that's why. It doesn't matter anyway, since you guys are the sponsors. We'll just have to see how accurate Theodora's predictions are.
