Welcome castaways to the 4th Duel of the season. Right now, the two Redemption Island inhabitants will duel it out for another stay on the island. Winner stays. Loser leaves the island for good.
Duel #4:
Lucky#17
Bloomers
1. Lucky#17 - Mark Wills - Don't Laugh At Me
Quote:
Dylan - 10 - This man definitely feels like an outsider in society and the lyrics are emotionally provoking so I find this to be a very strong entry. I love how it's the life of an outsider and not just focused on one stage of life. It really gives you an edge over other entries this round. You need songs like these when your entries solely determine your place in the competition. Really nice job.
Quote:
Brian - 10 - Very sad. He feels alone and ostracized from society. Great job.
Quote:
Yvess - 9 - As always, you give out strong choices. Why are you there in Redemption Island?!
Quote:
Lucky#17 Element 10 Really great!
2. Bloomers - Janis Ian - At Seventeen
Quote:
Dylan - 9.5 - This is also a really on-point entry for the theme given. It focuses all on the feelings of rejection when you're that uncool and not pretty girl in a group of girls who are just that and more. The lyrics are specific to what types of rejection this girl goes through which helps you out a lot in the grand scheme of things since some songs were a little more general this round. Great job as well.
Quote:
Brian - 10 - Perfect. Literally about not fitting in with the cool kids and being isolated. Great job!
Quote:
Yvess - 9 - Wait, now this song is a cool one. Fitting. It is affecting me emotionally as well....
Quote:
Element 9 I do like this entry a lot, but I feel like its a little too heavily focused on the qualities of the in-crowed to be at that next level. Also, I thought this was the Mean Girls character for two seconds.
Winner
Winner:
Lucky#17 - 9.8
Congratulations on your second duel win. You will remain on Redemption Island and duel the next eliminated player in R7.
Eliminated:
Bloomers - 9.6
Bloomers, your journey on Survivor has unfortunately come to an end. Though you scored great this round, Lucky just had the stronger entry overall. The best stays here even if second-best is great as well. It is a bummer to see you go since you have been a great presence in the thread and have performed well score-wise as well. But, this game is getting to the point where each elimination will be tougher and tougher. I know this wasn't your goal placement since you made it past the Merge last season, but each and every season of Survivor can end differently for a contestant. Thanks for giving this game another shot. I appreciate it. See you around and feel free to drop by in the thread anytime.
Winner
Good luck continuing on!
