Day 20 - Outing with Devon.
Today is Winterfest, but our outing today is to the "meet a celebrity" event at Orchid A Go Go.
Since the event isn't until a little later, there's plenty of time for festive shenigans in the house! Rebecca places a prank gift - can't imagine for whom! - and the household decorates the tree with varying success. For some reason decorating made Priscilla flirty, but she doesn't flirt with anyone.
Rebecca makes sure to tell Devon that she doesn't like her before Devon and Joe leave for their outing. Rebecca may not have the highest fitness skill in the house, but she’s gradually getting more pronounced abs. We replaced some of the microphones with treadmills - since nobody was using the microphones - so let’s see if anyone gets even more fit!
The celebrity at the lounge is Dirk Dreamer. “Oh, I was hoping to see Judith Talla again,” says Joe, pretending not to be disappointed. Devon says, “I thought he was dead!”
Joe heads straight to the bar to order a root beer float, which has been his typical drink order, while Devon heads over to chat about neatness with Dirk. Whatever she said made him shout forbidden words at her.
Joe finished his drink, did pushups, and then ordered another drink. He flirted with Devon, which went okay at first. Her attempts to flirt back were disastrous. Joe: “She kept asking Dirk for advice about making money, it was weird.” Devon: “How famous would I get by making a Proper Celebrity my enemy?”
Devon opted to get up to practice guitar- “I’m not good yet, but with all these people around this is BOUND to make me famous.” Dirk gives her a 2 simoleon tip. Dirk tells us “I was a struggling artist once too. She’s terrible, but we all have to start somewhere, right? Plus it gives me a good reputation to do this kind of thing.”
While spacing out in the bathroom, Joe discovers he likes dancing.
Dirk Dreamer heads home for the day, and Joe decides to head home as well. “One thing I learned is that Dirk is married to the bartender from GeekCon, that’s pretty cool.”
Joe continues to tell us, “With it being Winterfest, I decided to kiss everyone under the mistletoe. Rebecca and Gemma were thrilled, Devon went to sleep before I even got to talk to her, and Priscilla hated it, but then immediately offered me a rose after she rejected the kiss. This is really driving me nuts.”
A familiar face came by with cookies, but just stood outside with them.
I can't remember if I mentioned the sequester house for eliminated contestants (except Sienna) is the lot next door.
Priscilla got electrocuted fixing the tea brewer, but just like Tiny Tim, did NOT die. Joe starts a preposterous rumor about Priscilla while Gemma flirts with him.
Father Winter appears and: Joe got 1 Enormous Trilobite; Rebecca got 1 Grand Plans Chess Table (Rebecca: “Just what I needed! A chess table!”); Devon got 1 Selium; Priscilla got 1 Starter Flowers; and Gemma got various upgrade parts. Gemma: “Hooray?”
Astoundingly, everyone sat at the dining table, and Joe and Rebecca blew each other kisses across it while Father Winter was giving Gemma her gift.
Priscilla, though exhausted and fried, has everyone open gifts. Devon is annoyed to receive a lump of coal, while Priscilla and Gemma receive nothing. Joe received a second Enormous Trilobite. Sienna’s Ghost didn’t seem to get a gift either. Joe asks, “Were we supposed to get a gift for her? Am I supposed to flirt with her like I do with the other contestants even though she was technically eliminated, literally?”

Day 21 - outing with Gemma
Joe starts his day by exercising, then flirting with Gemma in the upstairs bathroom while holding a bowl of beans. Just what every girl wants - bathroom beans.
Everybody builds skills separately before Rebecca can no longer take the filth they live in and starts cleaning.
Joe and Gemma get some flirting done before their outing, which puts Joe in a flirty mood, which inspires him to kiss…. Rebecca! Luckily there’s no jealous outburst from anyone this time. Joe then decides to hunt for shells by the pool until it’s time to leave for his outing with Gemma – the high school football competition! Where it’s very snowy.
Joe and Gemma do some regular football practice, but Gemma refuses to actually go onto the football field. Joe scores 30, the game doesn’t tell me how much Gemma scored, but when the results are revealed it tells me she didn’t win – but nothing about Joe! Both of them then urgently have to pee but feel awkward about going into the school to use the toilet. Gemma then takes a nap on the bench in the school gym, because I know when I feel awkward about using a high school bathroom I always somehow feel super comfortable about sleeping at the high school!
Joe and Gemma flirt some more. Gemma has a whim to kiss, and Joe has a whim to get a girlfriend. They head home, as Gemma has no OPTION to kiss Joe, and choosing a contestant to be his girlfriend seems like a little too much potential drama for Joe to want to deal with just yet.
Next time: A wish, a kiss, an update you won't want to miss!

Gemma's outing so SO SHORT that I just couldn't give its own post.
Bonus round: These don't have time stamps so I forgot to include them when they actually happened

I'm judging her but I do not have a mustache, nice or otherwise.

The neighborhood action thingies are turned off in my game so nobody except Joe ever wore a bag, but talk about timing!
