222. Start a thread with an elimination tournament á la reality TV. Other Simmers can vote on a contestant to "eliminate" each week.
Sample setup:
The Cutting Edge: Only One Will SurviveSix Sims locked in a single studio will compete for supremacy in this not-really-cooking competition. They will have to slice, dice, and fight their ways through a series of challenges specifically designed for them to fail.
For your viewing pleasure, we've sharpened all the knives, turned up the heat on the burners, and stocked the bar with more than enough beverages to keep these Sims juiced for days. We've also locked all the doors to the outside world.
So, without further ado, please welcome our contestants:
Aina Garden(Snob, Perfectionist, Materialistic)This *fabulous* contestant spends her *fabulous* afternoons filming herself playing bridge with a bevy of the most *fabulous* men in East Simpton while you can only look on with envy. It’s *amazing* that someone this *fabulous* even shares her salt- and butter-laden recipes with the likes of peasants, but she knows her secrets are safe as you’ll never find where they keep the *good* vanilla so your dishes will wind up looking like the dog’s breakfast while hers look *fabulous*.
Jade Laurel(Romantic, Squeamish, Neat)Get ready for SPAH-GHEYT-TI and PRO-SHOO-TOE. This newly-single-again and always-on-the-prowl cougar is ready to
grin,
grimace, and
grip her way into your hearts. She may never have actually eaten anything she’s made since she prefers to spit between takes, but she can overenunciate ingredient pronunciations like no other and she’ll match anyone tooth-for-tooth when giving face.
Dude Fiery(Self-Assured, Glutton, Slob)This versatile comedian can not only down entire burgers in one gulp, but also masterfully style hair into magical french fry formation using only mayonnaise and leftover fryer grease. You can look forward to Dude revealing the secrets to how to single-handedly take down an entire network as well as just what part of the donkey you’re supposed to think of when you taste his one-of-a-kind donkey sauce.
Jack Appleseed(Foodie, Good, Creative)We’re not sure how an experienced and competent television chef who focuses more on food than entertainment got through our careful screening process, but we welcome the one and only
Jack Appleseed anyway. He’s always ready with tips on how to use proper techniques to make fast, delicious, rustic cuisine. Unfortunately, none of that will help him here.
Kiss Cookball(Snob, Perfectionist, Geek)We had hoped to be joined by Kiss Cookball, the persnickety, longtime host of
America’s Test Kitchenette and editor of
Cooks Photographed. However, a contract dispute prohibited his participation. He is currently traveling the countryside in search of a slower, simpler way of life and the ghost of Norman Rockwell.
Tony Boredom(Snob, Self-Assured, Mean)This brash, ego-driven “chef” who hasn’t set foot in a professional kitchen in years has an unkind word for anyone who cares to listen, and even those who don’t. He also has a taste for adventure and a relentless curiosity about foods no one would dare eat and the people who eat those foods. Unfortunately, his language is far more flavorful than his cooking.
