The Semifinalists
The Finalists and Semifinalists
The audience voted for the champion. There was a 2-way tie between Annaje and Erika. Thus, we had a final competition. Both Annaje and Erika were asked to name everyone in front of the room (while blindfolded). Ericka named herself but Annaje did not. Both missed Ron.
Selecting The Champion
With Erika slightly in the lead Annaje was given the opportunity to perform one final task. Annaje was instructed to find the present hidden for her. She was allowed to ask “yes”/ “no” questions or search.
