Congratulations!

*curtseys*  Thank you, Saber!  By the way, I enjoy that you use different criteria in different weeks to choose the winner.  It adds a bit of suspense.  🙂

Thank you @Driad. The final contest winners are going to be selected by some unusual criteria this season as well. I don't know yet if Red Shirt* avatars will be one of them.

*Star Trek reference.
