For the final challenge they both need to write and perform a poem ending on "Timbuktu". After an entire day to prepare themselves, they are asked to read their poems to the jury. The Priest goes first: I've been a preacher all my life Had no woman, had no wife I've read the bible through and through On my way to Timbuktu. The jury offers high praise for the poem and call the other contestant. He takes the stand and reads: When Tim and I to Brisbane went We met three ladies, cheap to rent They were three and we were two So I booked one and Tim booked two.
