We took an autumn hiatus, but we're back! With day 19!
There's one more elimination on Friday. Will the remaining girls step it up into high gear now that we're nearing the end? They'll all have the chance to! This week, Joe will go on a one-on-one outing with each girl in ascending order of romance bar - Priscilla, Devon, Gemma, and then finally Rebecca. There happens to be some event each day so they can each go on a special outing that isn't to the bowling alley again!
But first: Gemma sits down at a chess table with Joe, but he's too busy chatting with - you guessed it- Rebecca, before he gets up to make tea.

After his tea he's more happy to chat with Gemma and Devon, with Gemma primarily complaining about the garbage pile in the kitchen. Devon decides the best place to do sit-ups is that garbage pile. Rebecca says, "Well that's where she belongs!"
GeekCon is once again in town, and so Joe and Priscilla will be heading there for their outing. Luckily this time there's no thunderstorm to kill all the electronics, so Joe and Priscilla participate in the hackathon after briefly working together to build a rocket. "Should be easy for her, since she practiced programming immediately when our first date ended," says Joe with a hint of bitterness. "But at least she didn't go off to talk with everyone else like when I took Taylor to GeekCon before."
Priscilla completes the Hackathon at 17% while Joe only manages 14%. He's pleased he did so well considering he has no experience with computers. Priscilla wins the contest, and gets a computer as a prize!
GeekCon draws to a close, and there's an after-convention Happy Hour at the nearby karaoke bar, so the pair head over. Priscilla opts to order Love Potion Number 4, putting her in a flirty mood. Joe's still cautious around her but their relationship does slowly improve, until Joe spots a dog and decides he'd rather interact with her. Her name is Ginger and her owner is Caleb Vatore! Why is she at the karaoke bar?! The competition is RUFF.

Joe says, "I really liked that dog. I'm glad she has a good home but I was hoping she was a stray so I could adopt her."
While Joe plays with the dog, Priscilla goes off to talk about money with this townie, before going to chat with yet another townie. The dog went home so Joe sadly goes back to talking to Priscilla.
Joe becomes inspired by all the displays at the karaoke contest, and decides to participate himself. Despite having no singing skill whatsoever, he has a lot of fun. In a totally wild turn of events, Joe WINS the contest with a score of 52, briefly putting him in a Very Confident mood!
At the end of the night, their romance bar is neutral – no longer red, but not green either. “She did make an effort for most of the day to at least be near me, even if we didn’t talk or flirt much,” says Joe thoughtfully. “I’m just afraid the same thing is going to happen again – that she’ll see someone flirting with me or me flirting with someone and become enraged like I cheated on her. Being self-absorbed and jealous seems like a terrible combination for being on a show like this. And I don’t know if I’d be able to take her running hot and cold if we were exclusive anyway.”
Fairly uneventful day. What's in store for the future, though? Next time: Celebrities! Trilobites! A ghost! Someone paying the bills so the power gets turned back on!
In a few Sim-months Ginger the dog will be granted a wish and made immortal.
