Day 7: WHO will be eliminated TONIGHT
https://i.imgur.com/vSbUzK6.png
We asked Joe how he was feeling in the morning before elimination. "I"m kind of nervous. I have a good idea of who I'm sending home, unless she makes some kind of crazy grand gesture today. It's just, I know whatever happens it's going to be really awkward. What if she makes a scene. What if she DOESN'T make a scene? What if the other girls get upset?" Then we asked how he was feeling about his prize date with the painting competition winner, Priscilla. "Pretty excited. I mean, my last two one-on-ones didn't go very well, but I'm hoping since Priscilla and I have a spark of romance with each other that we might make a better connection today than I did with Sienna and Taylor before."
Joe has wanted to "hug someone" for the past 5 days, so he opted to do so as soon as the two arrived at their date destination. Much to Joe's surprise, Priscilla loved the hug, which in turn gave Joe the Charisma skill.
The two stood outside and chatted about grilled cheese and fast food for some time. As usual, the conversation turned to be about Priscilla herself. They hugged again, leading Joe to compliment Priscilla - I don't know on what, there's no "hugging" skill. This lead to hand holding, and shock of all shocks - they kissed! A very seasonally timely mistletoe kiss as it is summer in-game and also August in real life.
This very successful string of socializing gave Joe a confidence boost, much-needed, but he still felt he needed reassurance from Priscilla about if he was flirting correctly. Priscilla chuckled and told him he was doing just fine, boosting their relationship to "friends."
Joe and Priscilla start having a deep conversation. 5 hours into the date, they still haven't even gone inside the building yet. They're at a library, so, I guess that makes sense. They'd have to be quieter inside. 6 hours into the date, Joe seems to have hit his socialization limit for the day, as the conversation abruptly ends and Joe starts checking his phone. Perhaps he was looking for dating tips online, because he suddenly complimented Priscilla. Like most people, she loves compliments. Being self-absorbed, she likes them even more than other people! She liked the compliment so much that she blew Joe a kiss. This flustered Joe enough that he didn't know what to do anymore and just stood there as the time limit on the date ran out. Just as the last seconds ended, Joe decided to try to kiss Priscilla, but s soon as the timer ended, Priscilla marched inside the building to practice programming and he didn't get a chance.
"I like the ambition and all, but it seems a bit rude to just leave abruptly as soon as a date ends? She didn't even say goodbye. It's not like her shift was over," Joe said nervously.
We asked Priscilla what was up with that. "Well, the house doesn't have a computer, and I was really itching to do something useful as long as we were at the library, you know? By the way, who chooses a library as a date location? Anyway, I thought the date went great! Joe really came out of his shell, telling me how great i am, and he agreed with me about basically everything I said! It's weird, I find him extremely attractive now even though I don't know what he looks like!"
So with that, the pair returned home. Joe kisses Priscilla before they headed inside the house. I guess it was a good kiss because he started daydreaming immediately afterwards, and then tripped his way into the house to flirt with Devon. Before he could, though, he got distracted by the house's 9th resident, the mouse, and forgot all about her. Elimination's in 3 hours, and I bet Priscilla's safe!
In the last few hours before elimination, a meeting of the house club is called, to help encourage everyone to get some socializing with Joe done at the end. But as usual, Joe ends up doing an activity alone. Perhaps the ladies think there's no use trying to sway Joe at this point so they're having fun as a group while they can.
In the final half hour, Taylor gets upset about losing Don't Wake the Llama with Devon, only to win the next round. Joe opted to paint some more while chatting with Rebecca and Priscilla who were playing chess nearby. Watching Joe inspired Rebecca to get up and paint as well.
So, Joe, what's the scoop? “Well, I have the lowest relationship with Taylor and Katrina is the second-lowest. From the beginning I felt like neither of them really wanted to be here. I get it, when you sign up for a show like this you don’t know who you’re gonna end up spending time with, but it feels to me like Taylor has made no effort to get to know me at all. Katrina doesn’t talk much to me either, but Taylor almost seems to be actively avoiding me? Even on our one-on-one outing she didn’t seem really interested in even talking to me even if she didn’t want to do the activities at the convention. I still feel like Katrina’s just here for fame, but Taylor I don’t understand why she’s here at all. So I’m going to ask her to leave the house.” Ouch! Can you share your first thoughts about Taylor with us? “Well, I thought she was kind of basic-looking at first, and that didn’t change. To be honest I didn’t really feel anything when we met. I felt a stronger connection with Tina Tinker the brief time she came by to fix the sink. I’m sad to see Taylor go just because I know some of the girls are losing a friend, but I’d rather reduce the house numbers so I can spend more time with the ones who actually seem to like me.”
And Taylor? “I don’t really care. I thought this was gonna be like one of those other dating shows where there’s dozens of super hot guys all vying for your attention. If I’d known when I saw the Simslist ad for auditionees for a ‘hot new reality show’ that there was only gonna be one guy and he’d have a bag on his head the whole time, I would’ve scrolled on past. The other girls can have him, I don’t care.” Ouch, tell us how you REALLY feel, Taylor! I guess Taylor won't write this Joe on HER long list of ex-lovers.
Although Gemma is friends with Taylor, she was glad to see her go. “Well, not only is it one less woman to compete against and share a bathroom with, but I do feel slightly less agoraphobic with 7 people in the house now versus 8 earlier."
Priscilla made chicken sliders for everyone. Not only was the gesture appreciated, but the food was excellent!
Everyone spent the rest of the evening mingling and relaxing. Joe finished up yet another painting. “I guess if this ends and I’m still single, at least I’ll have a great art career ahead of me.” He decided to stretch his legs and go for a short swim in the pool, where Priscilla already was. “You can tell from his everyday outfit that he’s got an okay body, but this was my first time seeming almost all of him, and wow! He’s not built like an athlete but he looks great. I am completely smitten!”

Joe, tired by the day's events, heads off to bed without chatting anymore with anyone. As the girls sort of say goodnight, they notice a new Mome Mail has arrived. "Starting tomorrow, each of you will go on a one-on-one date with Joe for each day of the week. Devon, you're first up. Get a good night's sleep!"
Day 7 ends with Joe's highest friendship being with Rebecca despite his good date with Priscilla. Joe mused, "I wonder if the date might've gone better if we hadn't had to kiss through a paper bag." You've got 6 dates coming up, I guess we'll see!
Next time: Dates! Bowling! Don Lothario!
meta note
Side note - Priscilla doesn't have any CC on her face, so I have no idea why it usually looks like her left eye is almost closed and the right eye is wide open but white.
Also if you're familiar with America's Next Top Model, you should read "WHO will be eliminated toNIGHT" in Tyra's distinct delivery.

Every one of the dates is at the same location, for fairness, and enough of them are similar I don't think I'll bother posting each day separately. The second elimination is the real meat of week 2.
Side note - Priscilla doesn't have any CC on her face, so I have no idea why it usually looks like her left eye is almost closed and the right eye is wide open but white.
