Well, that went about as well as I thought it would...on the bright side, at least it's over, right? The contestant interviews had just finished a few minutes ago and the awards ceremony had begun.
Everyone who'd made it to at least the top eight would be getting awarded, so this shouldn't take too long, hopefully. The awards consisted of a medal and cash prize, I'd be getting a diamond medal, the runner up would be getting a gold medal, the semi-finalists silver medals and the quarter-finalists bronze medals.
As for how the rest of the interviews went, the reporters were a lot more subdued and less pushy than usual, and the one that made me snap was nowhere to be seen. While my outburst was no doubt entertaining and probably resulted in a significant spike in viewership, it likely wasn't too well received by the parents of children that had been watching.
