if person 1 submitted their app first, and did it before person 2 put in their reserve, then i would review person 1's app. person 2 might have put in a reserve, but person 1 submitted an app before that so it doesn't matter.
if person 1 submitted their app first, but did it after person 2 reserved, then i wouldn't accept their app and instead look at person 2's first. person 2 had the reserve, so it's only fair they get the first priority regardless of when they submit their app.
