10.09-I don’t know what he’s saying but I’ll pretend to agree

Welcome back to the Smole! Previously the final 5 went to take photos to earn an exemption and points. Only Tom’s and Imogen’s were worth money, so only 20/50 points were added, bringing the pot up to 445/620. Guillermo earned an exemption for taking the best photo. However, he chose not to use it and was thus executed. Who will be next? Who is the Mole?


Charlie: “We need to strategise.”
Amy: “How?”
Charlie: “Firstly, who do you think the Mole is? Be honest. We’re in the same boat.”
Tom: “I have been wavering. I’ve found no fixed Mole yet. Recently I chose Helen.”
Amy: “I picked Christopher.”
Charlie: “So you both think the Mole is someone executed?”
Amy: “Who did you pick?”
Charlie: “Imogen, but that’s not important. I see your logic though. But we can never be fully sure. Anyway, this new format is to our advantage. We just need to convince someone else to choose the wrong Mole and we would have won this.”
Tom: “So we kick that chick Imogen out?”
Charlie: “I kind of feel like keeping her around because of the fact that she probably doesn’t know what she’s doing and will help the winner secure his victory in the finale.”
Amy: “So you want one us to go?”
Tom: “I knew you weren’t fully devoted to this coalition!”


Charlie: “Unfortunately yes. Think of it as sacrifice.”
Amy: “But who will go?”

***

Imogen: “AAHH! Oh Charlie. What are you doing here? Don’t you belong in the other room?”

Charlie: “I wanted to have a little chat with you. Who do you think the Mole is?”
Imogen: “Why should I tell you?”


Charlie: “Right now both Amy and Tom are in a coalition; it’s obvious. You can only trust me now, and I can only trust you. If we want to stay afloat in this game, this is what we must do…”
Imogen: “I don’t know what he’s saying but I’ll pretend to agree.”

Imogen: “Oh yes, you’re right.”
Charlie: “So?”
Imogen: “So what?”
Charlie: “You seem troubled, Imogen.”


Charlie: “Is it because you had a child out of wedlock?”
Imogen: “You can see through me like a ghost! You’re scary!”
Charlie: “I just happened to know what happened to you. You were a former child star, soaking in the fame and glory. However there was that man who tricked you into bedding him and boom! You’re pregnant. The baby was given away before we started this show. You went hiding in Appaloosa Plains and tried to get a surgery but it didn’t really work. People still recognise you. That’s fine. I’m 65 and divorced. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a free country!”



Imogen: “I feel like someone actually understands me!”
Imogen: “Hey Charlie, wait up!”
Charlie: “Yeah?”
Imogen: “But the baby needs a father…”
Charlie: “You could always raise her yourself. Or hire someone. Or send her for adoption.”
Imogen: “Adoption? Never! And caring for her alone is tedious for me! Hiring someone will raise suspicion!”


Imogen: “You know, we’re both single…”

Imogen: “And we’re both heartbroken…”

Imogen: “So why not you be the father?”
Tom: “Woah dude, I never asked you to take it to that level.”

Charlie: “Listen here Imogen, I still love my ex-wife very much! I’m sure she’ll come back to me one day! I will not start a showmance with you!”

Imogen: “But I thought we had a thing…wait a minute, what did Tom mean when he said he didn’t ask you to take it to this level?”
Charlie: “I’m sure it meant nothing. He’s just teasing and you've embarrassed me…Nice going there, Tom.”

***

For the next mission, we invited a familiar face to join us. The other contestants don’t know she’s here yet.

***

Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “You’re a crafty one, aren’t you?”
Charlie: “Woah, where did you come from?”
Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “Nevermind that. I thought you were a nice old man who’s pretty naive. Now I realise you’re the most scheming one around!”
Charlie: “What? Nonsense!”
Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “Do you want to know why your beloved wife left you?”
Charlie: “And you would know?”
Mysterious: “Of course! She left you for that hot young man Finnegan Sawyer! The pool boy! The reason why she even bothered marrying you in the first place is for the money! To get close to that pool boy! For all other reasons except love!”
Charlie: “I refuse to believe you!”



Charlie: “Have I gone mad like Imogen? First she flirted with me, then I talked to a gnome about why my wife left me! I think things are getting stranger and stranger. I refuse to believe that gnome! I’m sure Maddie wouldn't do that to me! I’ll win the money, then she’ll return to me!”


Tom: “Why are you even sitting beside me?”
Imogen: “I have my own rights, okay?”
Imogen: “You know, you look pretty hot.”
Tom: “Thanks but I shouldn’t be talking to you.”


Imogen: “Why does nobody like me anymore? This star has fallen.”

“Mission time! But first of all, who has the best fashion sense?”
Amy: “Of course it’s moi.”
“Follow me then.”



“Your job is to choose 9 Sims who you think have the best formal clothes, excluding this season.”


“For the rest of you, you have to predict who Amy chose. For every Sim correctly matched, 10 points are added, so this is worth 90 points. Good luck.”
Tom: “I hope Amy doesn’t go wild and spring a surprise on us.”
Charlie: “I’m willing to bet that she chooses something wild…Katelyn Missoni of Season 4?”
Tom: “You could be right. And maybe she’ll choose Matthew Hamming!”
Imogen: “Why all celebrities?”
Tom: “Shut your trap. We’re right, you’re wrong. You have no room to discuss.”
Imogen: “But I feel Charity looks nice!”



Charlie: “She looks too simple. She’s as white as a toilet. Amy will never pick her.”
Imogen: “How about someone wild like Esmeralda Ivy?”
Tom: “Nah.”
Imogen: “Who do you suggest then?”
Tom: “Alexander McWee doesn’t look that bad.”
Imogen: “He’s bland too! You’re contradicting yourself! Discrimination!”
Charlie: “Actually I think both of you are right. We need some males too, so perhaps Timothy Foyer?”


Imogen: “Ooh, Angelica Gerria!”
Tom: “Don’t give rubbish selections.”
Charlie: “Amy will choose someone from the top of her head. I mean, she doesn’t even read her journal! So I think Brianna McWinner?”
Tom: “That’s a bid stretched but whatever. Celeste Bumpo was also quite a lively one.”
Imogen: “We’re going too far. That’s personality, not outfit.”
Charlie: “They’re correlated!”


Imogen: “I don’t know. I think everyone’s a star! Say, we never saw how Kay Micheals looked like in her formal wear despite being the winner.”


Kay; “Did someone call my name?”
Tom: “Holy tanks! It’s her!”
Kay: “I got called to stay with you until the finale, to give some tips and all, and for now to show you my formal wear.”
Charlie: “It’s a bit too plain for Amy’s liking.”
Imogen: “She must have chosen her! If not that’s being rude!”
Tom: “You know, she could be right.”


Charlie: “How about Faith? She’s a gem.”


Imogen: “But her formal wear is very watered down, no?”
Tom: “I think we need more males. Vlad Pire of last season?”

Imogen: “Ah, Vlad. A good choice.”
Tom: “Nobody asked for your opinion.”


Kay: “So can you tell me your final decision?”
Charlie: “We picked Katelyn Missoni, Matthew Hammming, Alexander McWee, Esmeralda Ivy, Timothy Foyer, Brianna McWinner, Celeste Bumpo, Kay Micheals and Vlad Pire.”


Kay: “I’m afraid that you’ve only gotten 5 of them correct.  Here’s what Amy chose:”


Amy: “I pick Brianna McWinner because she had a major transformation from her everyday and formal wear. She looks stunning and I admire her cheekiness for wearing such a short skirt. Valerie Sidnia is also another one who looks great with new hair and clothes.  Noira Green was also just wow. I adored her boldness and loudness and how she used yellow so frivolously it looked great! Oh and on Season 9, Vlad looked awesome too. So cool!
Esmeralda Ivy is another one because of her bubbly personality, though she could do better in her formal wear, but that’s my pick to throw them off a little. Charity looks nice too, but perhaps they think I won’t choose her. Same for Alexander McWee as well as Timothy Foyer. They looked decent, so might as well put them in to fool the others a bit. All in good fun.”


Kay: “So that means 50/90 points were earned, or 495/710 points.  Not bad actually. Also, Imogen gets an exemption for deciding to put me in the list.”
Tom: “Hey, so did I!”
Kay: “But she was first, so yeah. And with that, the mission is over.”





Tom: “It’s extremely unfair that Imogen got the exemption! I wanted to say that Kay should be in too, but she beat me to it! It’s so unfair! Nevermind though. I’ll show them how I can win this. I don’t need an exemption to tide me over.”

10.08-Why is it always the one with the hat fighting with the old man?



Tom: “I honestly can’t stand Imogen anymore! She’s screwed up for a celebrity. She’s cuckoo, I tell you! I don’t know why I went berserk with her and chose to form a coalition with her! Then again, coalitions do have its benefits. I've got to teach that princess a lesson on failure. She needs to leave, for the sanity of everyone remaining.”





Imogen: “G.I. Joe? Boring.  So action packed. It makes me high-strung.”

***


Amy: “I love the vivid colours of my painting.”
Tom: “It’s blinding, gal.”
Amy: “Shut up. You know nothing about art.”

Charlie: “I love you, you love me…”

Amy: “Wow, you rock Charlie! You have such a great voice!”
Charlie: “Aw shucks. I was a vocal legend back in my time.”
Amy: “Everyone’s a celebrity here.”



Tom: “Well, I can play better too. You know, we all have an artistic vibe in us. Why not we form a secret coalition?”
Charlie: “Don’t you have one with Imogen?”
Tom: “I hate her. She’s annoying. At least you guys are better. Amy is bold and from Twinbrook too while Charlie is a great singer and wise. I’m sure we’ll work things out.”
Amy: “It’s a deal!”

Guillermo: “Well, all right.”

































































































Guillermo: “Oh I can’t look.”













































































































































“Sorry Guillermo, but you have been executed. Please pack your bags and head to the other side.”

Charlie: “Hello there Guillermo. Let’s proceed to the interview, shall we? How do you feel about leaving as 5th? Bliss? Sorrow?”
Guillermo: “Not bliss, that’s for sure. I kind of saw it coming.”

Charlie: “Do you have any idea why you’re out?”
Guillermo: “I don’t know. Maybe I should have used my exemption. When 2 of you used it, it increased the chances of me going home. Also I chose the majority mostly and was careless by putting A for the first question when it was only the females that could be likely.”
Charlie: “I see. I use the majority tactic too. I hope I’m not out next.”





Charlie: “What was your sweetest moment here? Like when you had your first child or something, except in this house.”
Guillermo: “I don’t know. Getting that exemption? But that’s bittersweet.”


Charlie: “Thank you for joining us Guillermo.”

***
Imogen: “I need to speak to you Tom.”
Amy: “I wonder where they’re going…”


Imogen: “I feel insecure despite being in your coalition. I have a feeling you betrayed me!”
Tom: “What?”


Tom: “I love your feistiness and unpredictability, but I prefer girls who behave themselves. And if you want to know the truth, I’ll give it to you!”


Imogen: “I knew it! How could you?”
Amy: “Do you think we were too harsh?”
Tom: “She deserves it.”

***

Charlie: “You did what? How could you just break it up like that? It’s no longer a secret now! Gee, thanks a lot, blockhead. I guess being in too many movies didn’t help you, huh?”
Tom: “How dare you not know who I am! I’m employed in music, not acting, you bimbo!”
Charlie: “Ugh. Why is it always the one with the hat fighting with the old man? Forget it. If we’re in a coalition, we have to work together.”



Charlie: “I think Tom played a bad move. It was too impulsive. Who knows what Imogen might do? She probably knows that Amy and Tom are in a coalition, and I may be dragged into it. That’s not the smartest move there.”

***

Amy: “Hey Imogen…”

Imogen: “Ugh, go away! You’re like a ghost! You stole Tom from me already! What more do you want?”
Amy: “Firstly, he already has a girlfriend. Secondly, I did nothing of that sort! You’re just imagining things.”


Imogen: “Me? Imagining things? Are you suggesting I’m hallucinating? That I’m crazy?”
Amy: “You said that yourself.”
Imogen: “So you do! Ha, crazy? Me? Please, you’re the crazy one! You cradle-snatcher!  Scram!”
Amy: “Fine! Be like that!”













































???: “Imogen…”
Imogen: “I said leave!”
???: “I’m not Amy.”
Imogen: “Then who are you? Are you that voice in my head again? Ugh, go away! I will win this, need you not worry! Stop pressuring me to succeed!”
???: “Turn around.”
Imogen: “I see nobody…Hey, what’s that?”




















































Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “Hello there, Imogen.”
Imogen: “So you’re the one talking to me? A gnome? Amy was right! I’m imagining things! I cracked! Ha! I cracked! I’ve gone cuckoo! Hey everyone! Imogen has finally gone mad! Are you all happy now? All those people now get what they want!”

Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “You mad lady? All I wanted was a little chat and to give you some advice.”
Imogen: “I don’t need your advice.”
Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “You will regret it.”
Imogen: “Who are you anyway?”
Mysterious Mr. Gnome: “Do you not remember? You found me in the catacombs!”
Imogen: “Okay, this is creepy. I’m talking to a gnome!  I’m really leaving. I need a nap.”

And Guillermo goes? Could he be the Mole? Who will be going next?
