What did the HMs get up to, after their time with Big Brother?
Chester, Honey, Contessa, Principessa and Jason
Chester had grown from being a geeky, uncertain boy, into a confident, charming man, once he was out of the show and into the club circuit. Women were throwing themselves at him left and right, and he was lapping it up.
He soon settled on Candice Hogan, a fan he'd met at a club, and they embarked on a stormy relationship that was constantly in the tabloids. There was speculation that their public tiffs were for publicity, but he was popular, so people kept paying him to turn up.
He did let his image go to his head, though, and became careless about his habits. Candice had introduced him to a variety of "happy pills", as she called them, which they always shared around with their 'friends' at parties, something he could be encouraged to include in his appearance fee.
And he partied a lot - he followed Honey around to all her gigs, knowing that the two of them in the same building would bring in lots of money for the clubs, which in turn would encourage the club owners to book them, and keep him rolling in money. Some of the other HMs also joined them in their traipsing about the clubs, as the money and attention was good.
Honey was one of the hottest DJs, and could always get the room moving.
Contessa and Jason started dating seriously after the show, and he moved in with her, to live with her in the house she shared with her sister. Contessa worked hard at getting into acting. She finally scored a small role on the popular soap, Simmer Bay, which quickly grew to a five year contract. Jason lived the party life, not working, but devoting his time to the 4D philosophy - drinking, dancing, drugs, and dames.
Principessa had a lifestyle outlook similar to Jason's, meaning she didn't get a job, but happily picked up men who weren't intimidated by her fame. As she shared a house with Contessa, she ended up spending a lot of time with Jason, while her sister was working, and they were recovering from the night before.
Chester was so entranced by his own fame, that he honestly didn't believe the rules were meant for him. His drug taking, sexual activities in crowded clubs, and his inability to be subtle, were all over the papers.
Honey was no stranger to the party life, but she was shocked at the lengths Chester went to, and felt that it was starting to damage her image. They'd been on the circuit together for so long, they were booked as a pair. After some quiet talks with her manager, they agreed to distance themselves from him.
She was happy to keep up her business relationships with the twins and Jason, especially as Contessa grew more popular.
The one night, Chester received a very rude awakening.
Right as he was in the middle of enjoying himself with Candice, and enjoying the crowd watching...
He was busted by an undercover policewoman, who arrested him for indecent exposure, and for the possession and trafficking of drugs.
He was incredibly surprised by this, as he'd long thought the rules didn't apply to him.
He did worry about whether Candice would stand by him, especially as she'd been the one to hook him up with his dealer.
One night, not long after Chester's shock arrest, Contessa headed out to join the gang who were already at the club. She'd told them that she wouldn't be able to join them because of work commitments, but as they'd finished filming much earlier than expected, she happily headed out to join them...where she got the shock of her life.
She discovered that Jason had been having an affair with Principessa, and that it had been going on since that final night in the House.
Contessa was furious with Jason for cheating on her, and Principessa was furious with Contessa for ruining the good thing she had going on. Contessa told him that enough was enough, and that it was over.
Jason didn't want to lose the good set up that he had, so he tried to salvage the situation.
The twins were shocked when he proposed - Contessa had been hinting at it for months now, and Principessa thought it was a slap in the face.
Contessa turned him down, as it was far too late for it to work, and kicked both him and her sister out of her house. She was immediately determined to never speak to either of them again.
Jason and Principessa wasted no time - he just wanted to continue his good lifestyle, and Principessa didn't want to give up Jason. She'd won him, as fair and square as one could be when cheating was involved.
As furious as she was with the two of them, Contessa was able to realise just how this would affect her popularity.
So she made sure to show the appropriate reactions to their behaviours, when out in public. Sympathy for her sky-rocketed, and she was nominated for a Simmie award, as Best New Actress.
Which she then went on to win.
Soon, the movie offers were flooding in, and she was far more successful than she had ever dreamed she would be.
After the fiasco with Jason, she refused to date anyone seriously over the next few years, though she did date occasionally.
Principessa and Jason needed someone to fund their party hard lifestyle, and soon Principessa took up with a wealthy local businessman, who wanted a younger mistress. Stephen Tinker was happy to keep Principessa in luxury, as long as she kept her relationship with him quiet. To that end, she moved Jason in as her "cover" into the house Stephen bought for her (and then "rented" to her), so his wife wouldn't suspect anything.
This worked out well for the three of them, but as Contessa was becoming more and more popular, Principessa made drastic changes to her appearance, so that she would hopefully stop being mistaken for her sister.
After several years of living as the mistress, Stephen decided that Principessa should marry Jason, as Stephen's wife had started asking some pointed questions.
Jason and Principessa were happy to play along, especially as Stephen was funding the whole thing. Not long after Stephen added Principessa into his will, he was involved in a fatal car accident. Principessa and Jason left on their honeymoon as soon as her inheritance was in, and they partied their way across the country.
Honey had continued to be the most popular DJ around, but she was more subtle about indulging in her affairs. Now that she owned several clubs, she would pick a fan out of the crowd, and show him a good time after everyone else had left, but before the cleaner's arrived.
One fan kept getting chosen more and more, and soon she gave up the groupie lifestyle, and settled down with Toby McGrinty, though they still continued to celebrate after each gig, in their own special way.
Chester, however, was found guilty of all charges, and sentenced to ten years in jail.
He was lucky enough to get a large cell, and to himself.
Not that he considered himself lucky at all.
He put a brave front during the day, but come night time, he cried like a baby.
The only bright point to his time there, was when Candice would visit him, which she did on a regular basis...for the first few months, anyway.
She had promised to wait for him.
But she just couldn't take it any more. The abstinence was killing her!
So much to Chester's horror - she dumped him, and left him all alone.
Quincy
Quincy wasn't interested in the fame and fortune side of things once he left the house. He just wanted to settle down, and have a bushel of children. After months of dating, he still hadn't found anyone that he sparked with, so he started the adoption process.
His eldest son, Phillip, was a character, and loved to dress up.
His daughter, Adriana, was a sweetheart, and he wasn't bothered at all with her being half alien.
His younger son, Jason, was a whiz kid, and constantly beat him at chess.
The children all knew they were adopted, and they loved each other to pieces.
They loved playing together, and loved their dad, and knew he really wanted to be with someone. So they tried to set him up with Miss Butler, Phillip's teacher.
Quincy and Robin spent hours on the phone together, but he wasn't ready yet to bring her into his family.
Instead, he focused on doing the best he could for his children.
And he surprised himself with just how good a father he was.
After getting the family portrait done that year, he realised how much he wanted Robin to be sitting next to him.
But he was shy about asking her to move things up to the next level, and it wasn't until the kids were older that he felt ready.
They started dating openly, and he was happier than he could have believed.
As slow as he'd been to start the relationship off, he was quick to move once it was in gear, and they were soon married.
And not long after that - Robin was in labour.
And gave birth to triplets. Natalie, Melissa, and Mandy.
Life continued to get sweeter for Quincy, and his children were all loved and adored.
Soon Mandy, Melissa and Natalie became toddlers, and were all over the house, getting into everything. Phillip and Jason were soon going to leave for College, and Adriana was ready to be a teen.
Quincy finally got his big family, and a loving, gorgeous wife to share it with.
Misty
Misty took a different path after the show ended. Her thoughts were so consumed with shagging on tv, that she took the radical step of getting into porn.
Her debut movie, Maid Service, was incredibly popular, and the fans loved her partnering with Gordon King, an already famous porn star.
They soon starred in a number of movies together, with their most popular being Cell Block B, where he was the prison guard, and she was the hooker with the heart of gold.
The chemistry between them continued off set, and they began dating. After Misty fell pregnant (and while there was speculation about who the father was, both she and Gordon knew he was), they decided to get married.
Quite controversially, they did so on the set of Cell Block B #2 - The Bitch Is Back, which did pull in extra sales from the publicity.
Misty decided that that would be her last movie, as she wanted to focus on being a mother, and didn't want to tarnish that image any further with her past. Gordon also quit the business of starring in porn, and moved to directing it.
They were a surprisingly sweet couple, more than ready for their daughter to arrive.
Which she did in style!
Trixie made their lives complete, and with the revenue from their movies still rolling in, along with the money Gordon made directing, life was very comfortable.
But one day, years later, Misty's dreams were shattered, when Gordon dropped dead.
He died on Trixie's birthday, which scarred her deeply.
Misty moved away soon after, and left South Simsville altogether, and moved overseas, to start a new life, and none of the other Housemates heard from her again.
Lily and Hubert
Lily and Hubert were married at the end of show party, with fourth time being the charm for Lily! She and Hubert settled down in a gorgeous house, and used their winnings from the show, plus the fees they raked in with their appearances, and started a small business empire. They weren't at all shy about cashing in on their fame from the show, and often used the other HMs as star attractions.
Lily was shocked to find that she was pregnant, and after doing her period math, realised it happened at that infamous party.
She had a son, Theodore, who she knew would one day take over the family business.
His arrival may have been unplanned, but Hubert and Lily were thrilled to be parents, and doted on him completely.
Over the years, their businesses grew, until they owned a chain of shopping malls across not only South Simsville, but Sim City, Pleasantview, Veronaville, Strangetown, Riverblossom Hills, and Bluewater Village.
They spent plenty of time with their son, and gave him the finest schooling they could afford, as well as music lessons. One of their favourite family pastimes was when Lily and Hubert would dance, while Theodore tickled the ivories.
They thought about expanding their business empire further, but knew when enough was enough, and they had plenty.
Dolores and Dewie
Dolores and Dewie remained involved after the show, though Dolores never let herself fall in love with him. He was head over heels for her, but she just didn't want to take that chance again.
They became quite popular as singers, performing together, and wowing the audience and critics alike with their music.
While she may not have let herself fall in love with him, she always put on a show that made it look like they were madly in love, which the fans ate up.
But the stress of fame, and her relationship with Dewie got to her, and her after show Martini soon became several, and they soon became drinking from the bottle, before and after the show.
Her attitude also went on a decline, with her picking fights with people over nothing.
She made it into the tabloids several times for drunken fights, for collapsing at clubs, and for getting out of cars wearing short skirts and no knickers.
She no longer bothered to hide her drinking, and drank more and more with each show.
The quality of the shows began to suffer, and Dewie found the stress of it hard to bear. His doctor had advised him to slow down, if not quit altogether.
But he hadn't listened.
And now it was too late.
His heart gave out on him one night after a particularly lousy show, which involved Dolores stumbling off stage to loudly throw up.
Dolores and the fans were devastated by this, as it was a shocking turn of events.
Dewie's death hit Dolores quite hard. She knew, that without him, she had nothing. She realised now how much she did love him, and that she had wasted all those years by keeping him at a distance.
This pushed her over the edge.
She had her first breakdown in public, though it wasn't her last.
Soon after, she was checked into Weatherby Hills, an asylum on the outskirts of town.
She spent her days quietly, in her room. She didn't like to socialise with the other residents.
She liked to read in bed, though in her state, she usually pretended to read the book, as her mind wandered too much to concentrate on it.
She often wrote in her diary about the other Housemates, though most of them didn't visit her. But she did hear all about what they got up to, and sometimes from reliable sources.
Elizabeth was the only one who would visit her regularly,
and would read to her, which helped keep Dolores calm.
Though sometimes, Dolores would have an episode, and pull out her hand puppet, Dr Frinkleston, that she made in craft class, and talk to him like she did her therapist.
And other times, she would believe she was a pirate. This always worried Elizabeth, but it didn't stop her from visiting.
Dolores was quite happy where she was, even if she wasn't sure where that was, most days.
Jodie and Sam
Jodie also found out she pregnant after the show, and also from that final party. She enrolled in medical school, and studied hard throughout her pregnancy.
Sam was thrilled to support her while she studied, and they bought a restaurant ("Sam's") with their prize money.
He, of course, was head chef, and his fame and food had the people flocking in.
He still cooked for her at home, mostly because he loved to cook, but also because he wanted to relax as much as possible while pregnant and studying.
Not long after her first year of study ended, she went into labour.
And had a son, Byron.
Over the years that followed, she continued to study hard, and ace her courses, while Sam's restaurant won award after award for excellence.
Jodie soon graduated top of her class, and started working at Sim City General Hospital.
In that time, she had another child, a daughter, Clarissa, and was pregnant again.
Byron was as outgoing and friendly as his father.
And Clarissa was as pretty as her mother.
Their third, and final child, Dante, was also a sweetie.
Despite the busy lifestyles that Sam and Jodie had - she had now worked her way up to being Chief of Staff - they were a very happy family.
And the children got along wonderfully, making their parents proud.
Elizabeth and Severus
These two racked up a great amount of press after the show - not only had they been the first to get married, but Elizabeth had given birth on live tv. With her second due very soon after the show ended, they were hugely popular with the public.
Between the two of them, their prize winnings were well over $1 million, and once their appearance fees, and payments for stories were cashed in (which they sold to the highest bidder, and that bidding went crazy), they were set up very nicely.
They settled down in South Simsville, with their daughter BeeBee, who started school not long after. Severus had given up his teaching position at Hogwart's before the show, and wasn't keen on diving back into the magical world. He didn't want to give it up entirely, especially as his children were likely to be magical, so he found a position in Muggle Relations, helping the families of magical children learn about magical life, and adjust to the new changes. He had to travel a fair bit for it, but Apparating took next to no time, so he really wasn't gone that much.
Life was pretty sweet for the three of them, but that quickly changed.
For the better! With the arrival of twins!
Ignatius and Xanthia.
The public were extremely supportive, sending in gifts and flowers in enormous amounts. Elizabeth thoughtfully passed the toys onto charities to give to needy children, and the flowers to the local hospitals and nursing homes, for the patients to enjoy.
BeeBee learnt to take it all in her stride, and became one of the most popular girls in school.
After much encouragement from the station Big Brother aired on, Elizabeth began hosting her very own tv show - Afternoons with Elizabeth, a talk show aimed at mothers, but watched by people from all walks of life, which rated through the roof.
She was so popular, stars like teen singing sensation, Marsha Bruenig, were begging to be on the show.
The show rated higher than all other talk shows, yet she still retained her strong family values, and kept her image clean.
The public had long since forgotten about her sexcapades on the Big Brother show, they were just thrilled to have her stay in town and record her show here.
Elizabeth and Severus had no idea, all those years ago, that life could be so sweet, and were happier than they'd ever dreamt.
And there you have it! I'll also be posting some outtakes which I found amusing :) I hope you enjoyed reading my BB challenge!
