14.03-I hate sports

Previously on the Smole, 13 contestants joined. They took part in the first mission which was to create synonyms to the original phrase Violet was given and Venus had to guess the original phrase based on the synonyms. 0/100 points were earned, but a -1 penalty was incurred for Cindy, Julian and Violet for sleeping in the bottom room. However, it was Poppy La Tootie that left. Who will be next?

Contestants are going to the stadium to play table tennis. Whenever the losing player gets 8 points, 10 points are added to the pot. This is worth 100 points. The winner earns an exemption while the lowest scorer in the first round gets a -2 penalty. Will the players be able to catch up or will the Mole score an A again?

Here are the pairings:

Cindy-Ella

Viola-Royston

Victoria-Renne

Violet-Eden

Michael-Venus

Julian-Vera

***

Michael: “What? Sports? I hate sports!”

The first three get started.

Ella: “Impossible. I command your to lose to me, slave!”

Viola: “Ignore her, Cindy! She’s just cantankerous and sore!”

Ella: “Shut up! I am the queen here!”

Violet: “Go Viola!”

Michael: “Well this is embarrassing, Violet.”

Victoria: “I will not lose to you! I am far more superior to you!”

Ella: “But I’m more superior to you!”

Renne: “You guys are annoying and self-absorbed.”

Here are the scores. Looks like Viola is doing well.

Cindy: “I missed!”

Ella:”Go pick up the ball, slave.”

Michael: “Boo Viola you’re losing! I hate sports!”

Cindy: “Concentrate, Cindy…”

Everyone is catching up!

Royston: “I won, slu—“

“May the next two get ready.”

Royston: “Stop interrupting me, fu—“

“Where are Violet and Eden?”

Score: 5-11

Cindy: “I won!”

Ella: “This game is rubbish anyway. Hurts my back.”

Score: 7-11. So close!

Victoria: “I lost? Impossible!”

Renne: “You so-called queens are over-your-head.”

Score: 8-11. They earn 10 points.

They’re up. Just need to go find Julian and Vera who may have wandered into the stadium…

Michael: “Woah! Don’t scare me!”

Ella: “Yes. Tremble at my feet, mortal!”

Current scores.

Ho! An 8!

10 points are added since both players have reached 8 points.

Violet: “Disappointing.”

Who will win?

Michael: “Amazing!”

Venus: “Nonsense!”

Score: 9-11.

Venus: “I will kill you, Michael Anderson, Mole!”

Royston: “Gotta record in my journal. Venus is suspicious and her nemesis is Michael…she thinks he’s the Mole…”

Finally found those two.

Ella: “Obey my command, mortal!”

Julian: “What? Great, I missed.”

Ella: “I said…”

Julian: “Shut up, old lady.”

Vera: “This is hard…”

Viola: “How do you do it?”

Royston: “I eat a balanced diet, bitc—“

Julian: “Ow! My eye! I call foul play!”

Vera: “Sorry!”

Score: 4-11. Julian wins.

Here are the semi pairings.

Renne-Royston

Julian-Cindy

Michael-Eden

 

Rosyton: “Fu—“

“Eden Rock! Great. Don’t tell me he wandered into the stadium too…”

Julian: “I will not lose to a meek girl. I was the school bully. I always got my way.”

Venus: “So, you enjoy money?”

Ella: “Of course. Don’t you?”

Venus: “I’m a warrior. I care more for survival.”

Ella: “Without money, you can’t survive.”

Royston wins.

 Score: 8-11.

Eden: “Yeah, I went to the café to get some empanada. So what? I’m hungry.”

***

The score is tight! Who will win?

Julian: “I lost. I’m out of here.”

Score: 9-11.

Eden: “Yawn. I won. Piece of cake.”

Score: 9-11.

Eden: “I’m tired.”

Cindy: “I’m willing to play even though I’m starving. Sportsmanship counts.”

“Royston has gone home already, so we’ll declare a joint winner among the 3 of you! Which means 60/90 points are earned, making it a total of 60/190! The lowest scorer, Vera, will get a -1 penalty. Quiz time.”

Cindy: “We won! Eden, Royston and I won the exemption! I feel so happy for all of us. And we made up for last mission’s failure. I pity Vera though. Julian was merciless and scary. So is Ella Marie Tremble. She seems to like picking on me.”
