EJ, don't be hard on yourself. We do not mind what score you end up with. The point is to have fun. Although I admit that if it wasn't for a team thing I wouldn't have gone as far as I did. The whole system is such that the more you score compared to your audition score the better. I got 4 times my score. Elf and Zin got about 2.5 times their score and if you even get 200 you will have 5 times your score so don't even worry about getting 250. Just get a valid entry and send it in and get on with your life. I have spent every night bar one since the contest came out and it is very trying.
Do not be sorry. You have not let anyone down in any way at all.
One of the biggest helps for me was to stockpile the linen and beer until I was ready to let the houses have it. This is the first time I've done it and then work on the blessings to get through. In fact I think if the other teams don't work on the blessings they will only have scores around the 300 mark. It is going to be interesting.
Be happy with yourself. We all are happy with you. You have done great to even think about 200+. You have done your best and that is all anyone asks. Like me I think you will find that your cleo skills have improved through it all.
