Day 14 - Elimination 2
So what’s the scoop, Joe? “Well after 6 dates in a row, I’m not totally sure. I’m kind of head over heels for Sienna, but I have such a better friendship with Rebecca in addition to feeling smitten with her – not to mention I still think she’s the most attractive in the house. Gemma I have no romance with at all so far, but I feel like I’m the closest friends with her. Priscilla was the first to win me over romantically, but she runs so hot and cold, I’m not sure how much I can take of that. But then I don’t know if the jealousy will go away if we end up exclusive one day? I’m still suspicious of Katrina, but I haven’t seen her do much that made me think she was just here for Simstagram. Then again, I’ve barely been home all week. Katrina made that one flirty move that really excited me and then never did anything else, so I don’t know how much she’s actually into me either. Devon I’m kind of neutral on. Our date didn’t go very well, and she still seems bored when I talk to her. Maybe it’s just her face? I do like her new haircut.”
Let's see what the girls have to say!
Gemma: “Joe’s my best friend. I don’t feel that romantic spark with him. I still really want to stay in the house to see if I can make that spark happen. I wonder if I’ve been fooling myself my whole life by saying looks don’t matter to me.”
Priscilla: “He’s my total opposite in every way that I can see, but I just feel like he belongs to me. I wish he would just eliminate everyone today so we could hurry up and be together. I thought he was basic when we first met but I’m very attracted to him now.”
Katrina: “I admit I was initially interested in this show for the fame aspect, but I’m actually growing fond of Joe. And after finding out that almost everyone else has done it, I want to try kissing his paperbag face too!”
Devon: “I get along with Joe. I don’t get along with the others.”
Rebecca: “I really like Joe! I feel good about my chances of staying this week, but it was a pleasure knowing him even if he decides to boot me for whatever reason.”
Sienna: “I really think I’ve got this in the bag. It doesn’t matter what I feel, what matters is how HE feels. And if he’s really got such a huge crush as me as I think he does, then I’m feeling fine.”

Since it's Harvestfest, Joe decides to make a Grand Breakfast for the house, and Rebecca and Priscilla helped. Rebecca poured salt on the floor at one point, which was very helpful.
Suddenly with the elimination approaching, everyone was all smiles and attention. And… Maaike Lothario invited herself to use the pool, apparently. She doesn't even live in Sulani, so I don't know where she came from! Or where she got that book from, since there's no bookcase in the house!
Since today was also Sports Festival Day, Joe thought it would be good for everyone to head out to the festival to give everyone one last shot, and to see if he could use the time to make up his mind. At this point he's pretty certain he wants either Katrina or Devon gone, but can't decide more than that. "Maybe it'll be up to a coin flip," he sighs.
Most of the ladies got too distracted by cheerleading and food, Rebecca was the only one who participated in the football contest (scoring 15 points). It was very helpful that the game told me after the festival was OVER that Rebecca was supposed to tell the judge her score.
After the festival was over, the group mingled for a while on the field, and improvised a cheerleading routine. Rebecca was terrible at it.
We sent the girls home one at a time while Joe stayed on the field, hoping to take the time to finally come to a decision. When he finally returns home, it turns out his decision was made up for him.
Sienna died.
Day 15 - grieving
“I don’t know what happened,” says Joe. “She got back to the house before I did. I guess she was in energy failure. She’s had that problem before, of being completely exhausted but just refusing to go to bed, right? I guess it finally caught up to her.”
“I’m devastated,” says Priscilla. “I was on my hands and knees, begging the Grim Reaper not to take Sienna. She was so young, so full of life. She just made one stupid mistake, it’s not fair to take her from us so soon! But he wouldn’t listen. Is it my fault? Could I have done more?”
Katrina: “Why did he leave the tombstone on the back deck, though?”
Devon asks, “So does this mean there’s no elimination this week, or…?” Devon is notably the only person in the house not to feel sad about the tragic death.
In lieu of recent events, we opted not to have Joe eliminate anyone. But with only 5 girls left, eliminations will no longer take place weekly. Next week, one girl will be eliminated on Monday, and then one on Friday. After that, it’ll be up to the final 3 to fight for the next 8 days for Joe’s heart.
Everyone had a good sleep-in after Sienna’s untimely passing. Travis Scott and Sigrid Funk came by as part of the… grieving wagon? I have never had this happen in my game ever before. Devon helped herself to some condolences fruitcake with a huge smile on her face. This is the best mood she’s ever been in. Her mood turns sour as it turns out like most sims, she does not enjoy fruitcake.
Rebecca, who also does not like fruitcake, has a friendly conversation with Travis. Travis is a little down in the dumps – his two best friends split and married other people. He thought maybe one or the both of them had crushes on him, but apparently not. He thought moving to Sulani would be a great change of scenery for him, but everyone who lives in the area is married, except for Sigrid and the cast of the Joe Baghead Show. Rebecca tells him, “Well who knows, once Joe makes his final pick you might hit it off with the rejects!”
Devon decided what the house really needed is her terrible karaoke singing, and then she yelled at Rebecca to clean the house.
To be fair, the house does need cleaning.
Sienna’s ghost invited Gemma to the spice festival, but Gemma declined the offer.

I don't know about you, but I see nothing weird about taking a nap in the place where my friend died less than 24 hours after she died, in view of her tombstone!
Devon spent the rest of the day repeatedly insulting and being mean to Rebecca for no apparent reason.
Next time: Camping! Fighting! Ghosts!

That was genuinely not intended to happen. I was thinking Katrina might get eliminated and was figuring on a Sienna/Rebecca/Priscilla final 3. Oops! Sure would've made sense if when I sent her home from the sports festival if she'd GONE TO BED instead of SWIMMING while they were all at home without me controlling them!
