[Certain]

Storyteller: You had a really good approach to the topic, one that felt relevant as the Bill Cosby rape accusers are being slut-shamed by many. But the wording was really sloppy. Some of the words and phrases that didn't make sense in their contexts: imbued, consequences had wept, resolved, panivorous, trending, liberal, surreal. If you pull apart some of that forced diction and smooth it out, you have a nice, emotion-carried verse. The rhyming was OK, and the images were interesting when they worked and even when they sort of didn't. "Ski mask-muffled laughs" would have been a really great description of a rapist. I could have used a little more clarity on the plot, but I followed mostly. This was OK.

Greed: You basically took the concept of the movie. I get that. I don't think your verse would make much sense to people who haven't seen Memento, which probably partially explains the voters not understanding. But along with that contextual failure and the lack of imagination in your approach, you also forced a lot of rhymes. The wording was sloppy. You seemed to be building toward something, but you mostly have been the most inconsistent member of this league, which is a shame. When you're on, you can be pretty entertaining. This verse was not a very good representation of that.
