While Amir went to get cleaned everybody else finished their cooking. And they all made excellent eggs and toast??? Like how??? The only one with any cooking skills was Gabrielle, and there are no active lot traits. Apparently they’re all just really talented chefs?

Third to chat with Valerie is Ervin Rossi by @ratboysims to whom Valerie decided to tell a funny story.

Betsy and Gabrielle are also safe! Which leaves Ervin and Amir in the bottom two.

So dinner was a mess this time. You can’t get miracles every day, I guess.

And then Ervin called to ask Valerie on a date. A little too late for that, Ervin.

Thank you so much @ratboysims for sending Ervin! He was doing pretty well at first, but he kinda shot himself in the leg by rejecting that embrace from Valerie, and then did nothing to try and fix it. Maybe he just realized he and Valerie weren’t meant to be?

Relationship scores and musings under the cut.

Friendship / Romance / Total

Diego: 47 / 12 / 59

Betsy: 44 / 14 / 58

Gabrielle: 44.5 / 12 / 56.5

Amir: 43 / 12 / 55

Ervin: 41.5 / 6 / 47.5

Everybody’s scores are still really even. Because she was one of the challenge winners Betsy currently has a slight lead with romance, but Diego still won in the total score thanks to his high friendship. Amir being the second winner also allowed him to catch up to the others.

Which means that unfortunately Ervin is going home tonight.

And then it was time for the second elimination. Lots of different moods here today.

[xiapxls]

But then Ervin’s name was called, and he rejected Valerie’s embrace??? I was honestly very confused and unsure what to do. In the end I decided to compare Ervin’s relationship score after the failed interaction to the other contestants’ scores, and the result is that he’s still safe.

#sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 gameplay #sims 4 gameplay #bachelorette challenge #supervalerie #wilcox family #valerie's bc #valerie wilcox #ervin rossi by ratboysims #like you could make a case that since he rejected the bachelorette he should leave immediately since he's not interested #but i didn't like that interpretation so relationship score it is #one mistake shouldn't ruin the whole relationship you know especially since he had a high enough relationship even after this

[xiapxls]

Anyway, the clock strikes 7, which means it’s time for the first elimination. I’m using the Show Sim Info mod to get everybody’s relationship scores, and the contestant with the lowest combined friendship + romance score is going home.

Rules are rules, so since we somehow ended up with a five-way tie, everybody except Amir gets a flirt for their amazing cooking skills.

It took forever to get everybody to cook bc they kept running back to the main house bc of the thunderstorm. I eventually had to just cheat the weather to sunny so we could actually start the challenge.

[xiapxls]

Diego was the first up the next morning bc he really had to pee. Then I was surprised by Ervin’s job notification, and I realized I totally forgot include any rules about jobs and skills for the contestants. Oops, that’s my bad. Anyway, Ervin is taking pto from work for the duration of the challenge, as is Betsy who I also found has a job.

And so ends the first day of the bachelorette challenge. No eliminations yet, that will come tomorrow evening after the first challenge.

Of course since this is Valerie we’re talking about she had to play a game with all the contestants before the night was over. Poor Amir, Carmen, and Gabrielle got dragged out of bed for this.

After dinner there was some competition among the contestants for who would get to clean up the table. They’re all trying to make good first impressions.
