Welcome back! Last time on our reality show, the girls began their first day of hard labor, went fishin', didn't catch much of anything, and Ursual was sent home. Now five remain, all competing for the heart of that elusive farmer.
We begin the third day with Elizabeth getting up at the crack of dawn, so she has enough time to make herself pretty before the challenges begin. No more working in your underwear here!
Since David is always up this early, he tracks down Elizabeth for a quick gossip fest.
David: "Remember Ursual? I know it's been ages since we saw here, but even thinking about here gives me the willies!"
Elizabeth: "Teeheehee! Gossiping's fun!"
I tsk at you both.
The other girls slowly begin to wake up, this time a little more wary of the challenges that face them today.
Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!
David once again makes the girls breakfast....
David: "So? What do you think of my nana's burnt toast recipe? It's been my family for generations."
Elizabeth: "bleck ... Umm, really, really good, David ... bleck"
Of course, the girls are immediately sent out to begin their morning chores of tending the massive garden.
Such dedication....
...such unwavering discipline....
...such... frustration.
Fines: "Umm, this is totally soiling my cloak!"
Claudia: "Yeah! And Elizabeth quit again!"
Although, David is enjoying his new found free time.
David: "Oooh look! A cockatiel!"
Wrong demographics, wouldn't you say?
Look!
nentarisims 's John Cheese has stolen our invisible newspaper! I'm half amused and half honored.
But soon their work pays off, and even have some spare time to chat.
Sheri: "I wanted to be a doctor, but then I watched House and decided it was too exciting for me."
Yep, everyone knows that TV portryals of hospitals are 100% accurate.
Everyone gathers for lunch before their next challenge begins.
Sheri: "I think music is a waste of time and makes for a stupid career."
Fines: "In that case, mind if I decapitate you with my plate?"
The girls learn over lunch that a good wife is an excellent cook, and so to prepare for it they all must have cooking skill. The girls are to study cooking until 6 pm tonight or until everyone quits.
And they're off!
Sheri is quick out of the gate, and gets her first cooking skill point minutes after the competition begins. Look at the intensity on that face!
She's followed closely by the always-trying-to-please Nadia, who takes to this challenge with ease.
David take Sheri aside to gossip, which apparently makes Sheri very happy to not be the one gossiped about.
David: "Did you see Claudia over there by herself? What a looser!"
Well David, that loser just got herself her own cooking point.
Followed closely by the lovely Elizabeth.
The fact that most of them are Knowledge sims makes this process much more active then, say, fishing.
And just like that, everyone's gleaned a cooking point. Craziness all around.
David: "That Nadia and her red hair! Rediculous!"
Fines: "Giggle giggle."
Nadia: "You realize I'm right here, right?"
David makes it up to Nadia by gossiping about the person he gossiped to about her.
What a mouthful :P
Action Shots!
Ohhh Yeah!
Finally, David actually chats with Claudia about his interests. In the bathroom.
David: "The thing about work is how punctual you have to be! I like farming 'cus I can be anywhere at anytime. See my wrist?"
Plus you were left with a rather large inheritance, so you don't have to work another day of your life again.
Her interest is piercing.
At the end of the day, we're left with Claudia as the winner, getting 3 cooking points during the study session. Elizabeth, Nadia and Sheri each got 2, and Fines comes out with only 1. Will this cost her the farmer? Let's find out!
As Nadia meticulously cleans everything for fun, we now go to our Superbly-Awesome-Tallier-That-Simply-Keeps-Score-Counter to find out whose going home tonight.
Day Three: Farmer's rel. score 5/cooking pt 10/light. bolt 10/crush 20/bf
Sheri: 70 10 20 0 0 = 100
Claudia: 53 15 20 0 0 = 88
Nadia: 61 10 10 0 0 = 81
Elizabeth: 48 10 20 0 0 = 78
Fines: 52 5 20 0 0 = 77
Wow! What a close call ladies and gentlemen! It looks like only retaining one cooking skill point cost Fines the game.
Looks like Fines was so sure she was staying, she already went to bed. Sorry Fines, but David has not come for a little midnight nookie.
All in all, Fines has taken the loss graciously.
Although Sheri has not. She and Fines had become very close, and when she heard news that Fines was leaving, she ran as quickly as she could to say goodbye.
What a heart-wrenching goodbye.
Any last words, Fines?
Fines: "Aye. I'm really gonna miss Sheri and Arf, and I'm sad that I'm going to miss out on winnin' me treasure."
Umm, what treasure? The winner gets the Farmer, there isn't any treasure.
Fines: "You don't say? Well, looks like I just dodged a bullet!"
Fines: "Well then, I'm off on an adventure to find real treasure on the high seas! Argggh!"
Good luck with your wanderings, Fines. We'll miss you and your scallywag ways.
Four left, and now the competition gets serious. Will these lovely ladies fall for the Farmer, or will the demanding ways of farm life take their toll?
Next week: More gardenin, studying, cleaning and fine dining!
Thanks for reading!
