Alright, you Final Two, it’s time to see which one of you is the true literary embodiment of The Enlightenment! I give you the day to gather your minds as you think over the answer to the riddle I’m about to provide you with. Furthermore, I’m setting up a database for you, where you’re asked to input any and all clues and observations you deem important – we want our Viewers at home to have a chance to solve the riddle too! Come tomorrow, you’ll each be granted a short interview with me where you’ll be given the chance to ask me five questions. These questions can be anything, and I promise to answer as fully and truthfully as I can! After the fifth question, you’ll be prompted to solve the riddle. You have one chance, HouseAuthors. Make me and the Enlightened Realm proud of you!

Here’s your riddle…

For over a month you’ve seen contemporaries come and go,
Before they left, some learned my name, while others only criticized my “dumb show.”
You’ve gathered clues. You’re masters of symbolism. But now it’s time to say goodbye.
If you want to escape, HouseAuthors, riddle me this: Who am I?
