Haha, this was a fun round. I finish all, couldn't get enough of it. Some very funny entries, actually all of them made an impact. One is truly brilliant, my absolute favorite of the challenge.

Nice, Zack. And, thanks to Don again for putting all of this together.

I didn’t rate the scripts a while reading and with most of the characters being the same it’s one collective entry in my head now. Do I need to read them again?

All read and reviewed, and voted. Some very entertaining entries, one being a standout for me.

And, Don just dropped the voting ballot. Check your PMs.

And yes, Zack, we are amazing.  
P.S. I think Bill might be a bit tipsy based on the above though.
