CONTESTANT COMMENTS
"Come one, come all, step right up, to the Bigtopian Circus Extravaganza! I'm Kai, master of ceremonies for the evening's festivities. Let me shine a preview spotlight on some of tonight's attractions!

Over here, you'll see one of our talented magicians. It looks like tonight he'll be making one of our audience members disappear! (Last night he was pulling rabbits out of hats!)

In any case, over here you'll see the death defying flaming hoo . . . oh . . . well, folks, it looks like she didn't quite make it through. How about we move on to the strongmen?

Look at that strapping lad over there! What power! Such toughness! So huge! He's certainly going to win the audience's favor!

The unicyclists are warming up to my left. They're doing some testing, and it sure is impressive! How do they fit two Vampires, four Warriors, a Servo, and an Anointer Priest onto one little Vehicle?

The plate-spinning demonstration unfortunately had to be cancelled due to a bit of a mishap last night. Their show came to, ah, a crashing halt. Sorry for the inconvenience.

But the trick riders will be at it again! Who would have thought it even possible for a Tasseled Dromedary to drive a Conqueror's Galleon? It'll be utter madness in the center ring!

And finally, my fellow clowns are prepping their car in the ring to my right. Wait a second . . . one, two, three . . . I could swear only two got in.

Well, it's time for me to start the show. Enjoy the spectacle!"
