  The Let's Spoon Auction! Round 16
 
 
 
 Welcome to the Let's Spoon Auction!!!
 
 
  Auction ExplanationEach round, an item will be auctioned to all of the contestants. This item may be positive, neutral, or negative. Some items will be displayed publicly at auction time, while others will remain covered. A schedule of auction items will be sent to a moderator in advance. The rounds will thus be structured a little differently than in the past five seasons. They will begin with the auction post, the bidding will last for ten minutes, and then the challenge will be posted fifteen minutes after the auction post. Bidding will be done publicly in the thread, in increments of $10. The person to bid the highest by the ten minute mark (from the initial auction post) will win the item!
 At the start of this season, every contestant will be given $1,000 to spend at the auctions held throughout the season. They can also earn additional money by ranking in the top five contestants each round. Prizes will be as follows:
 
 1st spoon/challenge winner = +$50
 2nd spoon = +$30
 3rd spoon = +$20
 4th spoon = +$10
 5th spoon = +$5
 
 Today's auction item is...
 
 THE FAST FORWARD!
 
 Originally seen in season two, this item will result in the winner's immediate removal from the game. They are fast forwarded through the next few rounds, and are guaranteed a spot in the final fifteen. They will not bid in the auction, compete in challenges, or grab any spoons. They are immune until the final 15 round. Then, they must compete again. I will notify them of when they must compete again.
 
 THIS AUCTION IS RISKY, MEANING THAT YOU WILL LOSE ANY MONEY YOU BID, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT WIN THE ITEM.
 
 You may now start bidding. Only bids that are multiples of ten will be accepted. The highest bidder to post by 5:25 PM EST will win this.
 
 Good luck, Spooners!
