Notice! – On The Thanksgiving Special

Dearest Viewers,

As you may have noticed, our delightful little “Thanksgiving Spacial” was cut short following the debate between Mr. Baudelaire and Ms. Rossetti. What occurred was quite simple: Ms. Rossetti forfeited the debate, and upon realizing that she would be automatically expelled from the House, suffered a bit of a nervous breakdown. She was removed from the House by a team of our producers, and is now recovering nicely along with the rest of her decapitated HouseAuthors. Of course, this ordeal greatly shook Mr.’s Baudelaire, Kafka, and Melville, so please pardon their occasional odd remark – it was a very troubling few minutes for them all, but they’ve all agreed to continue on to the final week!

Narrative – Events Following The Thanksgiving Debate

UPLOADED BY: ANONYMOUS

>>> I’ve managed to hack into this godforsaken site in Julianna’s absence. She transported herself into the House after hearing Christina Rossetti forfeit the debate, and some things occurred that I wish for an audience to read about. She may frighten you and the authors with the revelations she puts out in the exit interviews, but I’m sure what she did today is something she would never willingly show to an audience. She is a mysterious, vindictive creature, and so I warn you: what you’re about to read is incredibly unpleasant. I’ve tried to keep the narrative as true to the actual events as I saw them occur, but forgive my occasional literary bouts, it’s all part of the trade. And don’t worry about her finding out about this post, I’ve encoded it so she’ll never know it was even there.

Thanksgiving Special: Diary Entry – Christina Rossetti

What sick mind thought up the idea of this “Thanksgiving Special Challenge?” We had one week left, and I had resigned myself to never having the chance to properly debate Charles. It was a resignation made in good taste, I cannot give in to his clear desire to unnerve me with his gross imagery. I can’t! I refuse! No good would come out of a battle between us. But now I have no choice. I either face Charles and win, or have my former alliance members’ decapitations be in vain. Neither of them would be gone if I didn’t give in to this idea of getting to the bottom of Charles’ mind. It’s all my fault… I need to make amends. I need to win.

But if I win, then I’m the singular reason why Charles will lose. It’s… just a game. It… doesn’t matter?

THANKSGIVING SPECIAL!!!!!

Alright viewers, we’ve heard your voices! The tension between two certain HouseAuthors has flown under the radar for long enough, let’s bring it all up to a boil just in time for this festive weekend!

Over the next few days, we’ll be holding a special debate between Charles Baudelaire and Christina Rossetti where they’ll be free to bring up anything they wish to discuss with one another in their work. The winner will be chosen by their fellow HouseAuthors, Franz Kafka and Herman Melville. The loser will be decapitated, while the winner will progress to the Final Three!

Is there any substance to the feud between the two? Is is hatred, or admiration? Attraction? What is it about the writings of these two poets that’s caused so much trouble and backlash in the House? Well, lovely viewers, it’s time to find out!
