Big Brother 2020 Challenge

The housemates get to know each other.
https://i.imgur.com/mDIk8EV.png

Cassandra, who has already found the pool, is deeply unimpressed by the amount of people around.
https://i.imgur.com/LDtPk7q.png

"Uuuuugh."
https://i.imgur.com/AkNJ3Bt.png

"UUUUUUUUGH."
https://i.imgur.com/MCeTGfO.png

Lilith fails at doing a swan dive :(
https://i.imgur.com/hlwDvAv.png

Everyone is here! Cass still lowkey wants to murder people, but everyone else seems to be getting on fine.
https://i.imgur.com/46yAnvO.png

We know, Johnny. We know.
https://i.imgur.com/W6Ctt55.png

Cass might not want anyone around, but apparently Morgyn and Don have no such issue with personal space!
https://i.imgur.com/h7e21sP.png

Side note, I really must find a mod that stops them from using their phone every five seconds.
https://i.imgur.com/ikgDdYU.png

"GO. AWAY. DON."
https://i.imgur.com/NrVuK9w.png

Diego randomly gets angry (he has the hot-headed trait), and Morgyn tries to cheer him up!
https://i.imgur.com/lMmAPdI.png

What a good bby.
https://i.imgur.com/5Og4duN.png

He's still pretty cranky.
https://i.imgur.com/diStCZH.png

Harrumph grumble mutter.
https://i.imgur.com/gI9rmDd.png

Take that, bin.
https://i.imgur.com/tsIY5bK.png

And what's with those windchimes?!
https://i.imgur.com/UHx9yGC.png

TIL swimming angry laps is a thing.
https://i.imgur.com/Gt2U7S2.png

Malcolm might be evil, but at least he likes a tidy place.
https://i.imgur.com/1fe2m32.png

Morgyn sez: "Wash your hands!"
https://i.imgur.com/6WKZHzE.png

Autonomously fixing the fridge.
https://i.imgur.com/Qewh0Q8.png

Malcolm sees more of Don than he ever wanted to see.
https://i.imgur.com/U9WokBj.png

Malcolm hasn't looked away yet. Cass... still isn't impressed.
https://i.imgur.com/RKSTfHC.png

Somehow, Don Lothario got embarrassed at people seeing him naked. Don Lothario. Embarrassed.
https://i.imgur.com/jshXCps.png

He's not the only one about to be embarrassed!
https://i.imgur.com/hhs1LSu.png

Malcolm is Displeased about the state of the fridge. Which has broken. Again.
https://i.imgur.com/CK0WmpA.png

Johnny grudgingly admits that his brother may be evil but at least he wants to keep them fed.
https://i.imgur.com/b1CYoMC.png

Finally, Diego manages to chill.
https://i.imgur.com/4xmdYbA.png

...Really chill.
https://i.imgur.com/chloJCP.png

Malcolm also cooked the grilled fruit! Stop complaining, Malc, the food is literally right over there.
https://i.imgur.com/mVNYqFZ.png

Caleb is a happy vampy! (For now! *ominous noises*)
https://i.imgur.com/tNohPxL.png

Points for enthusiasm and civil-mindedness, points off for ignoring the perfectly good kitchen sink and making for the bathroom instead.
https://i.imgur.com/TUcOa38.png

And Caleb gets splashed in 3... 2...
https://i.imgur.com/hBELGBK.png

The first night. All four beds taken, no one wanting to share.
https://i.imgur.com/clQL3P6.png

Diego has even resorted to a sofa.
https://i.imgur.com/zxT3A3V.png

It's 3 AM and most of the house is asleep, which naturally means Cass is at her perkiest!
https://i.imgur.com/Mnr76ak.png

"These fish are my friends :3"
https://i.imgur.com/m6FkHJB.png

So, the Vatores aren't doing so well. I had to have them replace the plasma fruit trees, which, okay, fine. Added some fruits to the fridge, too. But they're not going for them, like, at all. So they're just getting thirstier and thirstier, and spending basically all their time sadly floating on the loungers...
https://i.imgur.com/8meFdA6.png

Cass honey that can't be comfortable.
https://i.imgur.com/Gap3UIZ.png

Food situation: not good.
https://i.imgur.com/gssaEFX.png

Food situation: improved!
https://i.imgur.com/LDgdqb9.png

Food situation: slightly chewy, but acceptable.
https://i.imgur.com/4RT0HeO.png

So they were actually reacting to a smelly cup but honestly I'd like to think it's just a natural response to Don's... Donness.
https://i.imgur.com/K7x1Z3Y.png

"We used to have servants for this..."
https://i.imgur.com/1rAz3lb.png

Sad vampire siblings continue to be sad. So this is the point where I removed the Vampires Can Kill mod and restarted. Look, the fruits are there! They can eat them if they want! But if all else fails, at least it won't be, like, a massacre?
https://i.imgur.com/MmHXkDw.png

Nearly everyone is out here!
https://i.imgur.com/fLRSCJF.png

Malcolm thinks that Lilith is hot. First, okay, yes, she is, but she's also literally on fire Lilith you do not have sun immunity and the clouds have gone. Go inside!!
https://i.imgur.com/VnUpWpt.png

I just love the idea of this super snobby critic going for a hot chocolate with a candy cane in it.
https://i.imgur.com/G7WGQq2.png

Caleb, meanwhile, pouts in a bathroom stall after being shooed away from the shower he was taking.
https://i.imgur.com/XXotTcN.png

"So do you want to bite him or should I?" "He kicked me out of the shower! I so have first dibs."
https://i.imgur.com/nFnDTAg.png

Food situation has absolutely deteriorated again.
https://i.imgur.com/IntpyhY.png

Like. Both Morgyn and Cassandra know Delicioso. That is something they both can do.
https://i.imgur.com/Q8xCkW5.png

It's 11 PM on Monday night. Time for that uncontrollable thirst to kick in. Morgyn is saved by virtue of being asleep on a lounger...
https://i.imgur.com/llqT6J8.png

...but Cass is an easy target for Lilith.
https://i.imgur.com/XwQYPwU.png

Whoops, forgot her dark form.
https://i.imgur.com/IOz0KlD.png

Caleb finds Diego in the kitchen and attacks.
https://i.imgur.com/cW7zuP3.png

Aaand they're down.
https://i.imgur.com/WDFnzGR.png

The guilt has kicked in!
https://i.imgur.com/nuGiuaz.png

Lilith is feeling good! Caleb is feeling disgusted at himself and probably a bit at Lilith. Johnny is pretending he didn't see or hear anything.
https://i.imgur.com/8Cdf85u.png

"What unconscious housemates?"
https://i.imgur.com/ZhuZsBg.png

Cass eventually wakes up, and gloomily eats popcorn. She's not having a great time...
https://i.imgur.com/mIg7p8t.png

...but at least neither is Caleb!
https://i.imgur.com/zSsgH6d.png

So clearly I need to tweak certain mods because really now. (Actually I need to tweak it anyway because it's literally only showing M-F interactions and attraction and like. Come on. This is me playing, of course they're all queer.)

Anyway. Back to the house! Since the Vatores going on their slight rampage wasn't actually meant to be happen, I cancelled out Diego and Cass's negative moodlets from being attacked. Caleb rides out the last of his tension on his favourite pool float.
https://i.imgur.com/MRgJtkP.png

Cass is A-OK again!
https://i.imgur.com/MGOCSqg.png

And Lilith is full of energy, as usual.
https://i.imgur.com/1m6AiCC.png

Morgyn honey I can't help but feel this is an act of supreme futility.
https://i.imgur.com/UEWZbnn.png

Caleb is still in the pool, but at least he's not sulking any more!
https://i.imgur.com/43khgJn.png

Lilith chooses a spectacularly inappropriate area to do sit-ups. Just be glad that towel texture is like that!
https://i.imgur.com/xA1UJla.png

Everyone goes to bed. Well, most people go to bed. Cass goes to pool float.
https://i.imgur.com/vGW5akh.png

Bit more direction. I prompted Morgyn to plant an apple (no one had touched the seeds), and, very obligingly, they planted everything else too!
https://i.imgur.com/76OAm2B.png

Don takes the opportunity to come over and flirt.
https://i.imgur.com/hHzCGQP.png

Astonishingly, Morgyn happily flirts back! I imagine Don is surprised but pretty pleased?
https://i.imgur.com/d0floO9.png

What a good boy <3
https://i.imgur.com/ZpWq12F.png

Caleb looks unsure about his sister chatting with the evil dude.
https://i.imgur.com/1jQP19S.png

Morgyn, having stayed up literally all night, finally gets into the low reds with their energy. Do they go to bed? Nope! They climb into the hot tub and fall asleep there!
https://i.imgur.com/Iugb6I4.png

It's okay, he doesn't bite now.
https://i.imgur.com/uhkMiZM.png

Caleb discovers the Diary Room. I actually thought he was talking to the camera but it turned out Lilith was just offscreen.
https://i.imgur.com/PlF5vFL.png

So I got this alert and... um... well, I can't actually share caps, so here are some caps of the aftermath. Despite the fact that she got a positive moodlet off it, I'm not sure how impressed Cass was.
https://i.imgur.com/ybyLwLy.png

Crying it out in the closet. I think it's fair to say she has regrets?
https://i.imgur.com/KLy1egM.png

So this conversation between Johnny and Malcolm actually started pleasant but before I could grab a cap of it they started yelling at each other.
https://i.imgur.com/WlSSDCA.png

Morgyn has discovered the bed! Alas, they have yet to discover this thing called 'sleeping under the blankets'.
https://i.imgur.com/6i7RX09.png

Good boy continues to be good <3
https://i.imgur.com/HSea7mr.png

I have no idea what Malcolm and Don were talking about but they were doing it VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY!
https://i.imgur.com/96h4UFy.png

Morgyn this is still not a bed.
https://i.imgur.com/8Y2pTKB.png

Adorable sibling interactions. Lilith naturally gets Energised from her Active trait, and Caleb got Energised just by chatting with her!
https://i.imgur.com/NWVdZGR.png

They're super cute and put Johnny and Malcolm to shame.
https://i.imgur.com/P8tyPHS.png

"Are you kidding. Why do so many people think this is a bed. This is a hot tub, it is not a bed!"
https://i.imgur.com/4KD2PVN.png

"Oh wait you're hot. Carry on."
https://i.imgur.com/nnG9Lbp.png

Cass is like, "Aww, you're sweet! I'm going to bed. Alone."
https://i.imgur.com/SfLpCyI.png

Another good boy.
https://i.imgur.com/UKVJhmT.png

Morgyn has discovered sleeping in a bed!!!!
https://i.imgur.com/u08seww.png

It's 3 AM and the vampires are out and about and... playing basketball. Totally normal creature-of-the-night activities.
https://i.imgur.com/qyk0ADg.png

Speaking of creature-of-the-night activities... Cass looks like she enjoyed this one a bit more than her earlier, uh, activities with Don! The hot tub: still not a bed, but pretty fun nonetheless.
https://i.imgur.com/GNPTNPU.png

Johnny is like, "Okay look you of all people actually have no room to judge what constitutes a normal breakfast okay?!"
https://i.imgur.com/mwyagkL.png

Popcorn: breakfast of champions.
https://i.imgur.com/nVkmxxh.png

"HECC."
https://i.imgur.com/xh7Z6JE.png

Okay, here starts this chain of everyone's hygiene dropping around the same time and a chain of embarrassment. Diego walks in on Malcolm. Diego is amused. Morgyn walks in to wash the dishes, because what is a kitchen sink.
https://i.imgur.com/5DIzLBV.png

Sink breaks. Morgyn looks like they're considering forbidden words again.
https://i.imgur.com/1ylWayk.png

Diego decides to shower. Lilith immediately walks in. Diego looks like he tried to salvage things with a, "Like what you see? ;D" and Lilith has just laughed.
https://i.imgur.com/FJtDmx5.png

Diego walks out. Morgyn walks back in. Lilith and Morgyn go off into one of the toilet stalls. Johnny and Cass walk in. Johnny and Cass start showering. "So are you aggressively ignoring the noises coming from that stall?" "Yes. Yes I am."
https://i.imgur.com/QxW4Xmu.png

Morgyn cheerfully washes up after their activities with Lilith...
https://i.imgur.com/WRkbWku.png

...and Lilith wanders out, looking extraordinarily pleased with herself.
https://i.imgur.com/oPUt2y7.png

Meanwhile, at the pool...
https://i.imgur.com/NhtQN5L.png

...Caleb attempts to deathglare whoever just splashed him into submission.
https://i.imgur.com/AhOwKMm.png

Diego doesn't think Malcolm is looking too good.
https://i.imgur.com/uA81tq3.png

He's actually not doing so crash-hot himself! Malcolm is dazed and dizzy, Diego is now running a fever, and Morgyn is all stuffed up...
https://i.imgur.com/XNSCnbF.png

...although that still doesn't stop Lilith giving them the eye as they cross each other's paths in the kitchen ;D What is social distancing?
https://i.imgur.com/ANvqkwW.png

Johnny continues to eat popcorn and be quietly pleased he's not part of the Disaster Squad so far. Drama-free life, baby!
https://i.imgur.com/QrqPVyo.png

Happy Harvestfest morning! It's Early o'Clock and nearly everyone is asleep. First, some prep work, getting rid of an outdoor space I had intended to use for challenges!
https://i.imgur.com/G39mlAg.png

Whew! We had $164 to start with, just removing that area bumped it up to $1,592!
https://i.imgur.com/3za9i3L.png

Right, let's see. Morgyn is still sleeping in the tub. Johnny is showering, Lilith and Diego are swimming.
https://i.imgur.com/vJ9DeBn.png

Lilith is also slightly burning up oh jeez I'm gonna pop in to get her to do a dark meditation.
https://i.imgur.com/cdoTzjE.png

Caleb and Cass are cooking pancakes and hanging out. For once, Cass doesn't look grumpy about company!
https://i.imgur.com/mnfmD8I.png

Don... appears to be trapped.
https://i.imgur.com/rz34vCU.png

Diego has got a Bad Feeling.
https://i.imgur.com/WaYp379.png

On the plus side, Don has been freed!
https://i.imgur.com/U2ehHIV.png

Let there be light!
https://i.imgur.com/Lk25dcz.png

(Much to no one's surprise, they didn't win the lottery. Gunther Munch did instead. I bet he gives a lot of it to Mila!)

Speaking of money, Caleb goes out to check the plants and... oh.
https://i.imgur.com/6EJM6Xt.png

Well that's just sad.
https://i.imgur.com/0yTghgp.png

Some lonely baked potatoes. At least it's not popcorn!
https://i.imgur.com/k4dqSex.png

Well into evening by now! No gnomes have been appeased and I am in fear. Gonna have Caleb make a grand meal anyway.
https://i.imgur.com/lyjaJbC.png

You know I keep forgetting that this one doesn't have 10 in homestyle and gourmet cooking like mine does...
https://i.imgur.com/mJJDjUg.png

OOPS.
https://i.imgur.com/qPsg5Rm.png

HELP.
https://i.imgur.com/2tq4oG1.png

...goodness. Thank you to Lilith for extinguishing your brother. On the plus side, insurance payout in the thousands! On the downside, that stove was $15,000... Oh well. It's a counter now.
https://i.imgur.com/L7C0N2F.png

Johnny has the highest cooking skill! (...Three.) He can do the grand meal instead.
https://i.imgur.com/8bnJD7f.png

Morgyn I swear to Watcher.
https://i.imgur.com/FutylMY.png

It's okay he didn't need that bottle anyway.
https://i.imgur.com/7SBpGVM.png

He did it!! (Also god that Tofurkey roast looks so sad. Vegan food has colour, Maxis! We know how to use seasoning, Maxis!!)
https://i.imgur.com/DNua3ui.png

Poor boy is sleepy. Still, that's one tradition filled!
https://i.imgur.com/QR1ejhN.png

Lilith honey you're gonna have a bad time...
https://i.imgur.com/zswfeu6.png

Yup.
https://i.imgur.com/VCYsSMj.png

Please enjoy this relatively rare scene of house unity.
https://i.imgur.com/o2YWHRI.png

Thank you for cooking, Johnny! You can sleep now.
https://i.imgur.com/xB5bLAe.png

She has a tummy ache :(
https://i.imgur.com/Qnk1zqL.png

Oh never mind, now she's asleep! Good, she was pretty low on energy.
https://i.imgur.com/lWh95LD.png

Just down to three at the table.
https://i.imgur.com/mPxI7WI.png

Cass is in the bathroom, Morgyn is actually sleeping in a bed!!
https://i.imgur.com/J7bfetq.png

I don't trust those two...
https://i.imgur.com/4xb45Zz.png

Harvestfest is officially over! Consensus - everyone more or less enjoyed it except Cass for some reason. Johnny, having slept through the last part of it, has a drink.
https://i.imgur.com/a50zNIV.png

I appreciate the cleaning up but I also want to point out that Caleb picked up an empty plate from the kitchen. Then left the kitchen. To wash the dishes in the bathroom.
https://i.imgur.com/pJREhN5.png

We own these guys now, right?
https://i.imgur.com/CnvNPXS.png

It's only about $500, but hey! Money is money!
https://i.imgur.com/GUN3ttG.png

Friday approaches, day of the dance challenge! Lilith has earned her very own cardboard dance floor too, along with Caleb. The rest... are in trouble ;)
https://i.imgur.com/2smRuo8.png

Two dancing vampires, a sleepy boi, and a disaster mage.
https://i.imgur.com/htY8tbB.png

Squad goals tbh
https://i.imgur.com/joAlEYc.png

The sun rises over Del Sol Valley...
https://i.imgur.com/6CxoYRj.png

Let's see how everyone is faring this fine Friday! It's 6:45 AM, and...
https://i.imgur.com/krxVjsp.png

...Literally no one is in bed.
https://i.imgur.com/soos6GC.png

Well, five of the seven seem raring to go!
https://i.imgur.com/hsQpQ9m.png

Cass is fuelling up.
https://i.imgur.com/ysHGbQ6.png

And poor Johnny is snoozing. He did well in making the holiday meal, so we'll let him get at least some energy back before we start!
https://i.imgur.com/qQ1eKx7.png

Harvestfest clean-up continues.
https://i.imgur.com/mmHXgds.png

Some flirting over coffee. I'm sorry but it weirds me out how buff Caleb is!
https://i.imgur.com/wf89Bqp.png

Johnny is up and on a mission!
https://i.imgur.com/Nb8IoWd.png

A cleaning mission! Guys even if he comes last we can't lose him the household would literally fall apart without him.
https://i.imgur.com/fzWy6ht.png

Everyone is up and ready to go!
https://i.imgur.com/OQdjv36.png

Let's pop that cardboard away and bring out the big guns!
https://i.imgur.com/7ejGNL6.png

Everyone in a group? Check. Everyone in their party clothes? Check! Let the challenge begin!!
https://i.imgur.com/XOdWPSn.png

Here's how it's going to work. We're going to start with a Group Dance - since we can only do six, whoever has the highest dance score can sit it out. The first three to fail at it will join the elimination group. The next four will then face each other in individual dance-offs! The two winners of those pairs will go to the finals, the two losers will compete against each other for immunity. Fourth place joins the other losers in elimination. Third is safe. Of the final two, second is safe, and first is not only safe, but gets a prize!

Current skill points:

Lilith: 4.36
Caleb: 4.30
Don: 3.26
Morgyn: 3.17
Diego: 3.03
Cass: 2.96
Johnny: 2.93

...yeah, I fear for Johnny too.

Ready? Let's go!

Dancers assembled!! (Morgyn is fine, they just joined in last.)
https://i.imgur.com/cdfmY6A.png

Cass and Diego are out super early!
https://i.imgur.com/D7S7IH3.png

Oh my!!
https://i.imgur.com/xpMVFXH.png

In a shocking twist, second-highest ranked dancer Caleb is the third one out!!
https://i.imgur.com/u4nv1zd.png

Haha help.
https://i.imgur.com/pL6gDrK.png

Our first three losers are Cass, Diego, and Caleb!

Now for the individual dance battles! For our first match-ups, Johnny vs Morgyn, then Don vs Lilith!

"You think you can go~?"
https://i.imgur.com/wD8EKY8.png

"You know I can!"
https://i.imgur.com/I80iaAw.png

Just call him Johnny Zestvolta.
https://i.imgur.com/djSQKiW.png

"I'm already out, good night."
https://i.imgur.com/El7G7gi.png

Unorthodox moves!
https://i.imgur.com/te97QXa.png

...I legitimately don't know who won that. Morgyn flailed a tiny bit more? So I guess Johnny to the finals, Morgyn to the immunity playoff!
https://i.imgur.com/yev629Z.png

Next, Don vs Lilith! Caleb is just like, "...don't get me involved in this." And in the background, Morgyn sneaks a refuel!
https://i.imgur.com/dB3xMZq.png

Oh yeah she's got out the light thingies!
https://i.imgur.com/2VqKEmP.png

A shocking twist!!
https://i.imgur.com/Msi8lcn.png

Don has successfully made it to the finals!
https://i.imgur.com/IohTnfT.png

Don't run away yet, it's time for the immunity playoffs - Morgyn vs Lilith! "For immunity!!"
https://i.imgur.com/uGhpj7F.png

Rockin' those moves!
https://i.imgur.com/cx3DFe5.png

"Think you can beat the Untamed One?"
https://i.imgur.com/3gwSqDK.png

"Oh yeah. ...or not." (On the plus side, she did hit level five!)
https://i.imgur.com/EKXNk9P.png

So, our four going to elimination: Cass, Diego, Caleb, and Lilith!

Time for the finals, Don vs Johnny!
https://i.imgur.com/Pt0IlB0.png

Ooh, a strong start for the Zestiest!
https://i.imgur.com/b6UQLj0.png
https://i.imgur.com/yUkFaha.png

Don, no trash-talking mid-dance!
https://i.imgur.com/uZJnuLp.png

You cease those giggles!
https://i.imgur.com/gjsUYEZ.png

A tragic end!!
https://i.imgur.com/MNyCjPl.png

Very rudely, almost all the caps of Don winning the dance-off didn't save. I'm very sorry, AlwaysAsking. The winner of the Big Brother 2020 Dance Off: Don Lothario!
https://i.imgur.com/O3CKI2N.png

Time for a celebratory nap.
https://i.imgur.com/eLnwLyi.png

"I can't believe we lost!!"
https://i.imgur.com/Qr8Jagg.png

"IKR?!"
https://i.imgur.com/snhp2dd.png

He fought hard. Second is pretty good, though!
https://i.imgur.com/afskJGX.png

It's pretty usual for the Vatores to be the only ones still awake. Bit weirder for it to be at 4:30 in the afternoon, though!
https://i.imgur.com/XfkOuob.png

"Haha showing off our powers looks funny in the mirror."
https://i.imgur.com/Fza7xye.png

"I am the spookiest!" "I'm cuter ;D"
https://i.imgur.com/REajhA0.png

Dramatic Caleb is dramatic.
https://i.imgur.com/dJRsgYi.png

Back to business as usual for the dancers!
https://i.imgur.com/oRytIMB.png

Normalcy resumes as night falls. ...broken appliances and all.
https://i.imgur.com/kaS4LJX.png

While Lilith does pushups in the bathroom and Diego and Caleb have some consolation Monopoly, the others all hit the hay. Good night, sleepy dancers!
https://i.imgur.com/blm8G7O.png

And finally, here's how much their skills increased!

Lilith: 4.36 to 5.00
Caleb: 4.30 to 4.88
Don: 3.26 to 4.25
Morgyn: 3.17 to 4.39
Diego: 3.03 to 3.77
Cass: 2.96 to 3.49
Johnny: 2.93 to 4.45

Cass has slipped from second-last to last! Johnny has done very respectably and gone from last to third, coming second in the challenge overall! And Lilith has remained at the top, with Caleb in second, despite both messing up and ending up in elimination!

It's 4 AM on Saturday morning. Cass, Morgyn, Johnny, and Don sleep off the dance battle.
https://i.imgur.com/o0kjL6L.png

Diego has found everyone's favourite appliance.
https://i.imgur.com/91gqGN0.png

And Caleb tries to get his cranky sister to chill. Man, how did she end up losing a dance-off?! (No actually she was just tense because she wanted to be creative.)
https://i.imgur.com/Ad0JjwV.png

Show-off ;)
https://i.imgur.com/ZFbsUBh.png

Don's prize, the Bucket of Flirtiness, has arrived. Enjoy, everyone~!
https://i.imgur.com/2S5oUaP.png

I swear I need to confiscate that coffee machine.
https://i.imgur.com/1EhVo0d.png

The champ is up!
https://i.imgur.com/OTZ7JqX.png

Oh boy time to stage an intervention the sun is about to rise and I'd rather not have a barbequed vampire.
https://i.imgur.com/vd1VT29.png

The Bucket(tm) has taken effect on its first victi-- subject!
https://i.imgur.com/L2bZtUH.png

The household is up and about.
https://i.imgur.com/TVs3qrJ.png

Diego attempts some cooking. Morgyn looks on in terror.
https://i.imgur.com/N9jRVgi.png

A masterpiece!!
https://i.imgur.com/FbAS5Iw.png

Considering her dance fail, Cass is unbothered.
https://i.imgur.com/0o0Ym18.png

It's a miracle Caleb realised the kitchen sink can be used to wash dishes!!
https://i.imgur.com/Adhj6LN.png

Oh my, The Bucket(tm) is hitting Lilith hard.
https://i.imgur.com/FdJhSrO.png

"...sis. Chill." "Don't tell me what to do."

Morgyn honey clean your work surface before cooking.
https://i.imgur.com/tXyYKHH.png

Interestingly, they actually ditch it in favour of more apple salad. Cass picks it up instead!
https://i.imgur.com/p6J3HS9.png

Success! A bowl of pumpkin soup! It's now 12:30 PM, which is a decent enough time for lunch, despite Cass still being in her PJs.
https://i.imgur.com/rKyfXOz.png

Tables are for wimps.

...well hey you know what lunch can just wait.
https://i.imgur.com/ZcqVO5F.png

So that happened ;D
https://i.imgur.com/BUxxaq3.png

"...sooooooo what now?"
https://i.imgur.com/j6Jr7Ak.png

Propositioning, apparently!
https://i.imgur.com/2iAvTb5.png

From a very excitable vampire!
https://i.imgur.com/2JSKg0T.png

Side note, this is the first actual in-game woohoo that's happened for this Big Brother run, the earlier stuff was from a mod.
https://i.imgur.com/E4oexLK.png

Just as a point of interest.
https://i.imgur.com/mb2FJAP.png

I'm not taking these screencaps for my own satisfaction, really.
https://i.imgur.com/F5RsvhA.png

Just wanted to point out that interesting fact.
https://i.imgur.com/2O3kegT.png

"Huh."
https://i.imgur.com/X4AjZeM.png

"So that's happening."
https://i.imgur.com/dzI3Dp0.png

"About time, really."
https://i.imgur.com/UuUfVpd.png

"Hey Cass I won the bet."
https://i.imgur.com/MOqKgy1.png

Is the house insured against closet fireworks?
https://i.imgur.com/jfLSnYj.png

"They straight-out dented the doors!"
https://i.imgur.com/5VaSUww.png

Sorry Johnny you definitely had an audience.
https://i.imgur.com/onKI9mC.png

All good, everyone had a good time.
https://i.imgur.com/XZVgiPq.png

A very good time indeed!
https://i.imgur.com/og9tJGf.png

All that time in the closet and Johnny still isn't dressed!
https://i.imgur.com/dklvpM7.png

Caleb is just like "sooooo guess what I did". Lilith is all "omg bro TMI" and Don is just going "YEAH GET IT BOI"
https://i.imgur.com/z1zFIGP.png

"...tell us everything :D"
https://i.imgur.com/F07fU2m.png

"I was there. They literally dented the closet doors."
https://i.imgur.com/ACxCllG.png

*GOSSIPING INTENSIFIES*
https://i.imgur.com/RLQKa8Q.png

I am getting a strong "what are your intentions towards my brother?" vibe here ngl
https://i.imgur.com/23sfyEZ.png

Anyway, much as I'd like the flirting to continue, Johnny has the highest cooking skill and it's time for a farewell dinner.
https://i.imgur.com/42Gk9Wp.png

I just wanna point out that Johnny's current whims are 'send a happy text (from being happy)', 'flirt with Caleb', and 'make out with Caleb'.
https://i.imgur.com/w59onqO.png

Bit of wardrobe management via MCCC, and it's time for dinner!
https://i.imgur.com/oaLc61Y.png

Oh my god none of you have table manners.
https://i.imgur.com/jSeBXPr.png

Well, I like them, so here are their formal outfits! Lilith...
https://i.imgur.com/SdFdoVA.png

Caleb, Johnny, and Morgyn...
https://i.imgur.com/lmxv21d.png

Diego and Cass...
https://i.imgur.com/1ghlcst.png

...and Don.
https://i.imgur.com/I0MPTvt.png

And with everyone dressed and ready, it's time to assemble for the elimination!
https://i.imgur.com/rkj2HQW.png

With zero votes to go... Lilith. With one vote to go... Caleb. With three votes to go... Diego.
https://i.imgur.com/vh7TpjY.png

And with six votes to go...
https://i.imgur.com/mHwIyaz.png

It's time to go, Cassandra.
https://i.imgur.com/1y0xADT.png

"Oh thank watcher."
https://i.imgur.com/z02kOTw.png

And then... off go the lights.
https://i.imgur.com/17mGZMt.png

First, a bit of maintenance - based on a tip from @AngeliqueAdelaide , I quickly added in a computer and had Caleb order a bunch of plasma packs and put them in his and Lilith's inventory. They should take them autonomously, so hopefully they won't end up going on a rampage!

That done, let's see what everyone is doing. Cassandra has just made a plate of burgers! Thank you, Cass! Malcolm is ignoring them in favour of another bowl of popcorn, Diego is making fruit salad, Caleb is chatting to him. Morgyn and Don are flirting oh god. Johnny is napping on the sofa, Lilith is swearing in frustration due to her need for activity.
https://i.imgur.com/i6XuzuX.png

Check back with the others, and Morgyn is now flirting with Diego. Better choice, bby. "Like what you see?"
https://i.imgur.com/8A6aTjM.png

"Yes. Yes I do."
https://i.imgur.com/jZhQX4D.png

Personal space, guys!!
https://i.imgur.com/f0qUlpQ.png

Now Lilith and Morgyn are flirting. Do I need to saltpetre the water, guys?!
https://i.imgur.com/XtiZGDN.png

Lilith: on the hunt. Diego: uncertain where this is going. Johnny: completely oblivious.
https://i.imgur.com/XsQgTn0.png

Finally, two Sims that aren't flirting!
https://i.imgur.com/oSEXf1w.png

I just really dig the difference in sibling interactions here. The Vatores are just hanging out and enjoying each other's company, and Malcolm is... autonomously yelling at Johnny.
https://i.imgur.com/xCiypVS.png

Cass is above all this nonsense and just wants a working sink, guys.
https://i.imgur.com/dqqnXju.png

LILITH NO.
https://i.imgur.com/AUsNgu9.png

She knows what she wants, at least!
https://i.imgur.com/2yfSy95.png

Morgyn conducts some important research. More important than the trash behind them, apparently!
https://i.imgur.com/awTOsUg.png
https://i.imgur.com/BC8RlVD.png

Johnny and Morgyn crash...
https://i.imgur.com/xeutztM.png

...while the girls get their sports on.
https://i.imgur.com/j8ilPQR.png

Malcolm is in the can, Diego is showering, and Caleb is in the pool. Don has discovered Cass's burgers and has... promptly put it down to complain about the trash.
https://i.imgur.com/KN5q66G.png

Don attempts repair work while Diego is literally *popcorns*
https://i.imgur.com/KwGAD0l.png

The house makes its first money! There was 10 simoleons in the trash! Don still is deeply unimpressed.
https://i.imgur.com/K4KPMaU.png

TIL evil Sims have a 'laugh maniacally' option.
https://i.imgur.com/Fx5wddE.png

Don isn't too sure what to make of these veggie burgers.
https://i.imgur.com/4DHNLkn.png

Morgyn departs for Reasons...
https://i.imgur.com/7dsZ7Kn.png

...while Diego stares creepily at Cass. Dude there are literally two free beds?! And - holup.
https://i.imgur.com/tX0S6JW.png

:o
https://i.imgur.com/GFgKpwD.png

Five of the eight are out for the count!
https://i.imgur.com/VFFy5uy.png

SPLASHED.
https://i.imgur.com/rAYuh3H.png

"NOT. FUNNY. LILITH." "lmao are you kidding it was hilarious."
https://i.imgur.com/JG24oNE.png

Morgyn is quietly enjoying some late (or early? It's 2 AM) dinner...
https://i.imgur.com/Pe5MjKk.png

...when Caleb disturbs the peace.
https://i.imgur.com/JIAtYUP.png

"Ooh, parts!" Morgyn honey is that sanitary?
https://i.imgur.com/WbqkfGG.png

Caleb has just spent 9 of their 10 simoleons on some nice calming tea. (Lemon honey ginger detox tea, if you're curious!)
https://i.imgur.com/0RcuQxj.png

This is how Lilith prefers to finish a long day, herself.
https://i.imgur.com/LJOYoys.png

While Morgyn cleans up the now-foul burgers, Caleb gets his flirt on.
https://i.imgur.com/lGCLoZd.png

*Jaws theme intensifies*
https://i.imgur.com/7jJ9K2M.png

It's now Thursday proper! Morgyn continues their research.
https://i.imgur.com/MQtFYhs.png

Breakfast of champions.
https://i.imgur.com/llJA1SR.png

Cassandra is most pleased to not actually be breakfast!
https://i.imgur.com/6PCCONR.png

Caleb tells a gross joke...
https://i.imgur.com/TJvqd9f.png

...and gets very different reactions.
https://i.imgur.com/MXezwcm.png

Cass does the adorable popcorn toss. Lilith likes the look of that snack.
https://i.imgur.com/w8Q2c10.png

Caleb: "They're showing off again, aren't they?"
https://i.imgur.com/6NbpgnW.png

"If I become one with the wall, no one can bother me."
https://i.imgur.com/TCFCYNC.png

Intense activity!
https://i.imgur.com/Hom8IPq.png

Meanwhile, Diego and Johnny... uh, have their own activities. Okay sorry make that Diego, Johnny, and Morgyn. They're playing Monopoly, you know how that gets!

Caleb knows what happens with Monopoly, yes.
https://i.imgur.com/0VoxPEE.png

Some nice healthy socialisation.
https://i.imgur.com/GGTWHbc.png

Lilith makes an ill-advised decision to investigate.
https://i.imgur.com/GFRAPxi.png

"Oh my Watcher, guess what I just saw!"
https://i.imgur.com/ApZitrq.png

"And they didn't invite me?!"
https://i.imgur.com/97MGGpa.png

Further reactions!
https://i.imgur.com/KNpEEpb.png

Morgyn...
https://i.imgur.com/L5MmSTN.png

M o r g y n . . .
https://i.imgur.com/UQFl9oz.png

I find it a little sad that every time Caleb talks to someone autonomously about vampirism, he immediately goes straight for talking about a cure :(
https://i.imgur.com/al5KbJE.png

More sickness! Caleb has a headache, Lilith's head feels all stuffy, and earlier Morgyn was feverish, although they seem to have thrown it off for now.
https://i.imgur.com/CX959Sb.png

This is not social distancing.
https://i.imgur.com/KekFUiq.png

Lilith has a rare sleep. Which is good because Basketball Cannot Be Denied and she keeps going out in the sun.
https://i.imgur.com/f8VmIoe.png

Sicknesses continue! Cass has a rash, and now Diego has a stuffed head, too!
https://i.imgur.com/nl6JSwE.png

Which absolutely does not stop Don from flirting.
https://i.imgur.com/VvYfxiV.png

"Do you think maybe we'd see the fish better if we were standing on the side with the glass?"
https://i.imgur.com/BIia2Kc.png

Oh my god they're so cute. It's not like they're my main save OTP and it fills my heart with sunlight and happiness when they interact or anything.
https://i.imgur.com/okLLC3G.png

Don shows up, Johnny immediately walks off and Caleb gives Don this look.
https://i.imgur.com/MGAkeFQ.png

...oh okay it's because of his headache. I like my interpretation better, but okay!
https://i.imgur.com/J4eEwqR.png

After playing some basketball and showering, Caleb goes to chat with Don (willingly). "No hard feelings?"
https://i.imgur.com/ofIG9td.png

Well here's a conundrum! Does Don have a good enough relationship to share with anyone out of Lilith, Morgyn, Johnny, or Malcolm?
https://i.imgur.com/V309a0j.png

Nope. He wakes up Johnny, who has an almost full energy bar anyway. Go eat a food, Johnny.
https://i.imgur.com/3Bdkokq.png

"HECC." (He's feeling very tense both from his weird leftover Ambitious debuffs even though I changed that trait to Romantic, and from his now pressurised head.)
https://i.imgur.com/AM3GFik.png

You know what not the most clean or spacious location but I'll go with it. Have fun, boys <3

(Mods, they're both clothed. It's all good. Just some smooching.)
https://i.imgur.com/ZuQAxb3.png

...well that's one way to get out of the house! (Teleport mishap. Back in you go, bby!)
https://i.imgur.com/nb810c4.png

Morgyn is tense (lack of employment), Johnny is... splotchy. Both are still very into their popcorn.

(Alas, I had a tragedy of a failed cap not properly saving, but Morgyn was sharing a bed with Diego earlier!)
https://i.imgur.com/QhlC5zL.png

It's 10 AM and Diego and Cass are still sleeping. Come on, guys, it's Challenge Day!
https://i.imgur.com/tDDubqM.png

And they're up! I'll give them a bit of time to get their needs in order. Also, Don, Lilith, and Morgyn are currently. Busy. Playing Monopoly. On the bedroom floor. Okay it's literally 7 PM. Little bit of intervention - I'm going to teleport everyone to the pool area, put them in their swimwear, and remove the door. Time for the diving challenge!!

The housemates are assembled (and the door has been removed. There is no escape!!). Don't they look thrilled.
https://i.imgur.com/9bGRhAF.png

First up is Lilith for Team Banana! LOOK OUT BELOW!
https://i.imgur.com/4xPEIRb.png

Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful, but oh no, a lost suit! Swan dive: fail!

Johnny looks like he's volunteering to go next!
https://i.imgur.com/5NWVSIf.png

Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful! Swan dive: fail! "OH WATCHER THAT SMARTS!!"
https://i.imgur.com/EoIifVS.png

And so on!

Cass does a cannonball successfully! Fails the backflip! Aaand fails the swan dive!

This is not a happy group.
https://i.imgur.com/4YxRQTn.png

Malcolm is too uncomfortable to dive, mostly because he's just peed himself, so I'm going to intervene to give him a bit more energy. Still, even after that, he refuses to jump, so... y'know what? I'm gonna call that a forfeit!

Four down, four to go! Next up is Diego! Somehow fails a cannonball, successfully backflips (of all things!) but loses his bathers, and is the first to make the swan dive!

Over to the bananas and Morgyn! Cannonball is successful, backflip is a fail, and swan dive is a success!

Caleb autonomously does a successful backflip, so I guess he's going next ;) Cannonball fails (and he loses his suit!), and somehow he nails the swan dive, too!

Last but not least, Don! He nails the cannonball, nails the backflip, and nails the swan dive, and is the first to get a perfect score! Now go take a shower you smelly man!

And here is the scoreboard!

Team Banana

Lilith Vatore: 1 / 1 (and -1) / 0 = 1
Morgyn Ember: 1 / 0 / 1 = 2
Caleb Vatore: 0 (and -1) / 1 / 1 = 1
Don Lothario: 1 / 1 / 1 = 3

Total: 7

Team Pineapple

Johnny Zest: 1 / 1 / 0 = 2
Cassandra Goth: 1 / 0 / 0 = 1
Malcolm Landgraab: 0
Diego Lobo: 0 / 1 (and -1) / 1 = 1

Total: 4
