Wow, Spoiler tags *are* really weird. Here's your post again edited for fixes:
Please excuse the spoilers: the tags are being weird for me and I don't have the time to fix it. Sorry.
Gathering the contestants inside the FAN Waterlily House, the Host and his judges presented Round 9's scores to the eager would-be FAN Idols. The judges presented each contestant with a garland of Mike Shaw flowers with each contestant's respective name printed out on a large lilac ribbon. As the judge was about to make announce the results, Square could be seen being dragged, kicking and screaming, by FAN security, evidently caught in the act of trying to poison one of the contestants through his or her garland, a nasty purple rash all over his face.
KingOrangeTyger: Ahem. He is a persistent fellow. Contestants, I am pleased to announce that this has been one of our closest, if not closest, scored rounds. As the competition has increased in difficulty, you have responded in kind. Congratulations!! Now, for the scores:

{Spoiler}Brad is The Simming Master!!! who curled his lips, swiveled his hips, and made a fried banana sandwich when he chose All Shook Up by Elvis Presley!!!
In second place, scoring an astonishing 45, is a contestant who raised their banner high and serenaded us with some smooth sounds. The runner-up for this round is...
{Spoiler}Roxie Daggers!!! who proved that she'll continue stand strong even as the bombs go off around her with her choice of Whitney Houston's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!!!
