SNTM Week 3
What am I doing? This journal is not for Serious Business! It is foooor:
It’s Week 3, and things are getting tough in the Model House. None of the girls can really cook, and the place is a pigsty. Production decided to let them hire a maid (because production is too lazy to make them clean up). But that didn’t stop Teadora getting food poisoning:
She took to her bed immediately.
Brandi and Samantha had a bit of conflict.
And Li broke down. She missed her family, and Tor’anda’s betrayal made her feel alone in the house, despite befriending Cynthia. Besides, studying cooking was hard.
But playing on the swingset made her feel much better.
That night, the girls were whisked off to the weekly challenge. Teadora reluctantly got out of bed, still feeling awful. But she knew nonparticipation in the challenge could endanger her, especially since she hadn’t yet really rocked a photo shoot. The challenge was a timed shopping spree. The girls had thirty minutes to select an outfit that represented their new look.
Li, still distraught, couldn’t focus on the challenge and failed to complete her outfit within the allotted time, so she was disqualified. (I cannot find any of the shots of them actually at the lot shopping, sorry).
Here are the looks the girls selected:
Cynthia
Tor’anda
The Dread Pirate Sam
Teadora
Li
Brandi
The judges liked Cynthia, Tor’anda, and Teadora’s new duds. They felt Brandi’s didn’t accurately reflect her personality, and Sam’s pirate garb was just perplexing. Teadora was proclaimed the winner, and was given a 2,000 simoleon shopping spree. Perhaps buoyed by her win, Tea recovered from food poisoning shortly after the challenge.
The girls had just a bit of time to rest and relax.
Li was missing her family, especially her sister, more than ever.
But she quickly had to put aside her sadness and go to the week’s photo shoot, “street meetings”. The girls were divided into pairs and were to wear their clothes from the week’s challenge. The girls would be judged on their expression of emotion and ability to work with their partners to produce a great shot.
The first pair was Li and Tor’anda.
Toranda took the opportunity to express her continuing feelings for Li:
Li was having none of it. The photographer was getting good shots of Tor’anda, but not of Li (who just doesn’t look good when pissed off). Li was told to choose a more happy action, and she reluctantly jumped into Tor’anda’s arms and got some good shots:
The pair’s best shot:
Li’s best shot:
The judges found it a good shot, but thought that overall Li was outshone in this shoot and still had a bit of an attitude. They questioned her desire to be in the competition.
Tor’anda’s best shot:
The judges loved it, and Tor’anda’s performance in the shoot as a whole. She was very open and willing to express real emotion.
After the shoot, Tor’anda continued to try to reconcile with Li, who became angry.
Meanwhile, Samantha and Brandi were called to the set. Their animosity immediately became apparent:
The pair’s best shot:
Samantha’s best shot:
The judges found it a bit silly and thought that Sam might be over-acting a bit. They also didn’t quite understand her choice of the pirate clothing.
Brandi’s best shot:
The judges didn’t like Brandi’s film-she needs to learn how to look angry but still beautiful.
Finally, Teadora and Cynthia were called to shoot. These two got along much better than the previous groups:
The best shot of both:
The judge’s clear favorite of the paired shots. They loved the way Tea and Cynthia worked together (they even became best friends during the shoot).
Teadora’s best shot:
It wasn’t the judges’ favorite, but overall they thought Tea did very well in this shoot. They appreciate her ability to work through her illness and perform well this week.
Cynthia’s best shot:
The judges felt Cynthia was lovely in this week’s shoot, and that she is continuing to have a stronger presence in person. Their only critique was the lack of variety in her facial expression in these photos.
Then came the long wait for judging.
Li worried about being sent home, and continued to break down in tears every. five. seconds.
Cynthia cleaned like a good little girl, despite Teadora in the shower.
The girls had a spirited debate about rising oil prices.
Tor’anda regretted losing Li’s affection, and worried that she might never find love.
Meanwhile, Li cried. Again. Even her beloved swings could not console her.
Nothing like good old alcohol to relieve stress of possible impending elimination.
“Will it rain today, do you think?”
“You know, it just may!” (I love Sim conversations.)
You know what else is a good stress relief? Punching fellow contestants!
Another fire. Hands up anyone who’s surprised.
Tor’anda continues to think of Li fondly.
And Cynthia misses her friends that have moved out, specifically, Leila.
Teadora is Not Pleased.
Teadora is also the only one at this point to have a positive aspiration bar at all, let alone a platinum aspiration.
Mmmm, toaster pastries. The only things these girls can cook.
Sam contemplates Brandi. I don’t know what she was thinking, nor do I care to.
Just about the only thing more predictable in this house than fire: the punching game. Only this time, I’m not sure if it was a game-Tor’anda really walloped Li.
Li found some solace in playing computer games.
At judging, Tor’anda was called first. The judges raved about her individual photo. She seems to be back on track after last week’s misjudgment. Next called were Teadora and Cynthia for their great teamwork and successful photo shoot. Samantha was called, after being admonished to change the pirate clothes and get her act back together. Only her good performance in the past saved her from bottom two.
And the bottom two were: Brandi and Li. Brandi’s strong personality has been slipping away, and her performance in photo shoots has been slipping as well. Li also seems to be falling apart. Even after her warning last week, she still doesn’t quite seem to have it together. The judges question if either of these girls really wants to be here. But they believe one wants it more, and that girl is…Brandi. The judges ask that she work harder next week and become a stronger presence.
So that means Li goes home.
Bye, Li!
As soon as she’s gone, Brandi and Sam start discussing the way she dressed.
“I’m glad to be out of here. There’s a few people I’ll miss in the house, and a few I definitely won’t. But I can’t wait to get back to my family. I know I can be a great model, but the circumstances of the competition held me back this time. I know my sister will be proud of me.”
Tune in next week for a risque photo shoot and a challenge that will have the girls moving.
