Big congratulations to our final 2. I have a couple small things for each of you.

First things first I hate that botox'd idiot Jeff Probst
and he's always harping on about "YOU GOTTA MAKE BIG MOVES! HURR DURR". To spite Jeff, please outline for the jury a couple of small or subtle moves you did made and the impact you think it had on the game.

Part two: The Self Awareness test
What reality contestant (dosen't have to be Survivor or BB but if it's something I haven't seen you'd better have a good explanation) do you think your BB5 game was most reminscent of?

Secondly, what reality contestant does the JURY think you're BB5 game was most reminscent of?

Anything along the lines of "uhm ALASKA cause we're both fucking ICONS!!!1 We're QUEENS WHO SLAY!!! and that's the REAL TEA!!!1" results in an immediate vote for your opponent to win.

Thirdly, a poetry writing contest
According to Wikipedia, "Poetry  (the term derives from a variant of the   Greek  term,   poiesis, "making") is a form of   literature  that uses   aesthetic  and rhythmic [1] [2] [3] <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">qualities of <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  language<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">—such as <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  phonaesthetics<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">, <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  sound symbolism<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">, and <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  metre<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  prosaic<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">ostensible <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">  meaning<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse formand rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively informative, prosaic forms of writing. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more generally regarded as a fundamental creative act employing language.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly figures of speech such as metaphor, simile and metonymy<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[4]  create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;">Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[5]  playing with and testing, among other things, the principle of euphony itself, sometimes altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[6] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[7]  In today's increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages."
