Summary Report | SLC S26 Week- 5 | Second chance romance
Hello, my dear fellow Steemians,
I welcome you to weekly report of the "Steemit Learning Challenge Season 26 Week-5,". This was fifth week of the challenge, and as expected, this week I received average number of posts as in my previous weeks in this contest.
The number of posts we receive this week 45 which was not as bad the way we were moderating and checking them. I guess a few people stayed back due to our standards and demands but we had decided to no favors, no lower standards or no compromises with our set criteria.
This week's prompt was again a tricky one as I wanted to test how many jump to fictional story without understanding the prompt and they proved me right. There were a few close with point but most contestants did not read the catch but diving into the patch up work. I wanted to see what Dennis thought or how he recalled their past once he had a heated conversation and Jenny left his cabin followed by Dennis himself.
Participation Statistics
In fact this week's prompt had wide scope as the contestants could show Dennis going back into the past and share his experiences, his guilt as well as use of fiction, but most user did not look at real point or missed the finer points even if by a whisker.
I received a total 45 entries, and all of them were 'almost' valid (One contestant deleted his post). As expected, most participants used various forms for getting their ideas but most missed the actual one. Fortunately we did not see much use of AI barring a random few but we gave them benefit of doubt merely deducting their points. However, one of them challenged us and got what he deserved. We used our analytic assessment/tools and our common sense including participants previous posts for references as we did in the previous weeks.

Once again @waqarahmadshah was at his best with his unbiased assistance, so we did our best checking the posts based on the set criteria of content, story, originality, formatting, presentation, uniqueness, and, of course, our observation. We, received no protests based on word limitations imposed but that's another test of the contestants and I have no plan to compromise on that even in the final week.
We had to 6 select winners of the week from as once again there was tie between 6 for the last five places so I had to select one "out" by using spin wheel:
We had one clear winner at 9.75 and 6 tied at 9.7 points

to select 5 from 6 tied at 9.7 I entered all 6 names on the wheel and opted for one OUT
The Spin of the wheel declares @casv out so we have six winners now

The Winners of the week

Summary of the winners
Post-1
Luego del baile de Jenny, este le dio una generosa propina y le pidió que se sentara a su lado. Entonces ella le confesó que su trabajo allí se remitía solo a la actuación artística y a más nada.

Post- 2
She froze, trembling, the taste of the past and present colliding. For a heartbeat, it seemed everything lost had been returned. For the briefest moment, the silence between them felt like healing. Yet, just as he reached for her hand, she stepped back.

Post-3
Jenny mantuvo la calma, dejó escapar un suspiro y se volvió a sentar, tenía muchos meses tratando de reconstruirse pero este momento la hizo sentir vulnerable nuevamente, Dennis le decía cuánto dolor sentía, que sus días eran oscuros por haberla perdido, ella sintió el peso de sus palabras y confesó que aquel día no solo había herido su mente, sino también su alma.
Post-4
No puede ser, ripostó Jenny con encono. ¿Piensas marcharte solo, y nuestros planes de una vida juntos? ¿Qué significo yo entonces para ti, por qué no me dijiste nada para yo también mandar mis documentos? No eres más que un egoísta sin sentimientos, Dennis Baker.
Post-5
Perfection becomes a hedge, managed like a risky position, no room for loss, no room for softness. Weeks grind forward until a morning arrives when a hand hovers over a keyboard and cannot land. The façade splits. Therapy begins not grand, not cinematic, name the harm, avoid the “but,” leave space for silence.

Post-6
Emocionado, Dennis espera que ella termine y, desde que salen de la oficina, hasta llegar al lugar que frecuentaban en las tardes de picnics que organizaban, él no deja de piropearla.
