Welcome castaways to the 16th results show of the season! The theme was emojis this round and you each submitted 10 tracks pertaining to different emojis.
I will do results in 10 parts with each round taking up one post. Whoever has the best overall average placement will win immunity for this round. On a side note, whoever places last in the overall average placement will be automatically removed from the game. A Tribal Council will take place after this meaning only 4 of you will be left after it is all said and done.
First you will see the judge's ranks, the overall rank for that round, and finally who is in the lead and who is in danger of elimination.
Scores to put into your average will be given like this:
1. 10
2. 9.5
3. 9
4. 8.5
5. 8
6. 7.5
So everyone will have a decent score this round.
With that said, let's get started...
1. The Devil Emoji

Can be used in a variety of ways but is usually used when there is some type of trouble brewing.
Devil Emoji
1. gotintoririfever1 - Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight | 2. prezli - Natalia Kills - Break You Hard |
3. Yvess - Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida - Troublemaker | 4. Truth Teller - P!nk - Trouble |
5. Superiore - Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again | 6. DOMINO - Azealia Banks - Yung Rapunxel |
Dylan's Rank:

Devil Emoji
1. Truth Teller - Not every song with the word trouble works but this one does!
2. gotintoririfever1 - This music video is still such a mess.
3. Superiore - Actually like this approach.
4. prezli - Different.
5. Yvess - Example of a song with the word "trouble" in it that doesn't really work here.
6. DOMINO - I don't know what's going on here.
With this emoji, I associate it with anything rebellious or naughty but in a more child-like way where it's breaking the rules, not the law so I think most of everyone was on point. Just wasn't a fan of Yvess or DOMINO's choices.
Ethan's Rank:

1. Break You Hard
2. Trouble
3. Yung Rapunxel
4. Not Myself Tonight
5. Troublemaker
6. Oops I Did It Again
The bottom two were too… wholesome, I guess. The top four were all good, it just came down to malicious-ness.
Nicole's Rank:

Devil
1. prezli - The lyrics work of course but most importantly I like the production and the overall vibe of the songs. I think it fit the trouble theme well since it has a little bit of a dark vibe as quite a few of Natalia's songs do, and I love that for this particular theme.
2. Truth Teller - One of the best entries here for sure. P!nk sounds really to kick some ass and I believe that she could truly do so in real life as well. 
3. Superiore - The iconic "I'm not that innocent" lyric is enough to make Oops a good fit! I love how much Britney pushed boundaries even back then when she still had her teeny bopper image.
4. Yvess - Olly is so cute, isn't he?
5. gotintoririfever1 - You may be a biT surprised at NMT's ranking here but the reason for it is that Christina obviously just wants to ****. And while I know that could technically be "trouble", idk, to me I don't think her wanting to be sexual and crazy for a night is necessarily the type of trouble I was looking to see. I just liked most of the other songs a bit better for this.
6. DOMINO - The lyrics don't really have much relation to the emoji so this just seemed like a very random and disappointing choice.
Average Ranking:
1. Truth Teller - 1.67
2. prezli - 2
3. gotintoririfever1 - 3.67
4. Superiore - 4
5. Yvess - 4.67
6. DOMINO - 5
In The Lead:
Truth Teller

In Danger:
DOMINO
