After five weeks of backstabbing, deceit and disloyalty, the fun really began. The sixth challenge was presented to the remaining three contestants.

Our scenario had the Chairman of the Board, Costus A. Lott, deciding that the theme for the annual report was not represented well by the current cover design. Though the team was only three days from being on press, it was imperative that each remaining survivor devise a plan of action that would keep the annual report on schedule, and also appease the superfluous whims of the Chairman.

Ima Pleezer and Iona Lott responded with remarkable aplomb. Ima stayed up all night working with the copy team to create a new front cover based on the theme, "Back in Black," which worked nicely with a 100% black front cover. Unfortunately, her theme was inconsistent with the numbers on the financial highlights page, but this was dismissed as trivial.

Iona expertly included the assistance of the local native population. Her new cover design, "Stomping the Competition," ingeniously incorporated the footprints of native children, who would first dip their feet in a crushed berry solution, then energetically stomp on the cover.

The designer, Art Deqeaux, unfortunately failed this test of humility and "détente." Rather than comply with the rules, he crafted an origami boat from his Week Five "paper" and angrily sailed off into the sunset.

For the remaining eyeland survivors' thoughts on Week Six's challenge, read on...

"I refuse to be subjected to the humiliation of having my life's work questioned by a geriatric capitalist who thinks a velvet Elvis is art. My cover is my cover and this will not change! Therefore, I will leave these people to their puny little world of mediocrity."

Ima Pleezer

"I can't believe that the Chairman wanted to change the cover this late in the process, especially when he signed off on the theme in November! And then, the designer, Art, erupted with a profanity-laced (in French) tantrum about the change and left the eyeland.

"I've come too far to stop now, so I called the copy team and the marketing department on my cell phone and we came up with a new cover that's very progressive. I just wish it had the company name somewhere on the front. And a title. Or at least some type, somewhere. At least it's black, which I thought Art would like."

Iona Lott

"I knew my husband wouldn't like that silly theme 'We put the K in Kwality' for this year's annual report. So I had secretly been working on a new one for him. Well, it wasn't a secret to him, but to the other people on the eyeland.

"It's amazing to me, how each year I have to pull these people out of the fire with a new cover design, some new photos of my husband, Costus, or choosing new colors. One would think that as much as this thing costs they would be able to come up with something good for a change.

"Oh well, I don't do it for the accolades. I'm just glad that I can be there to help out. After all, I've got eight and a half million shares riding on this thing!"
