Contestants spent a day working on the performing arts, with Scott singing what the others acted out. They managed to succeed in 6/10 rounds, leadinig to 60/100 points for the pot, which is now at 280/550 points. Scott didn't earn an exemption, but did he even need one? Who will be the one in dire need of it?

DAY 15

**********

Daphne: "Scott could have done better. Granted, 6/10 is a decent score, but I question some of his song choices. Could I have done better? Possibly, or possibly not. I don't know as many songs as he does, but that may be a blessing in disguise rather than a curse."

Scott: "Hi guys, it's Scott Treverton again. Today I decided to throw a party because we'll never know when we will die...in the game. I'm now getting a lot of song requests because of my newfound fame."

Vanessa: "Do me!"

Scott: "How could I make a man out of you~"

Mervyn: "What would you sing to describe yourself?"
Scott: "I'm sexy and I know it~"
Vanessa: "That should be my song."

Vanessa: "How about...Andy?"

Scott: "I'm thinking out loud/Maybe we found love right where we are~"

Vanessa: "Ooh...do Gigi next."
Scott: "Hmm....why do you have to go and make things so complicated?"

Mervyn: "Complicated? Why?"

Vanessa: "Don't you see? He's thinking of Andy but with Gigi in the mix, it's complicated."

Scott: "What? No. I sang that because...it's complicated."

Vanessa: "Mm-hmm."

Denise: "What's up? Dude, I heard you were throwing a party. I have just the thing: a whole lot of happy stuff."

Mervyn: "Drugs. Definitely drugs."

Vanessa: "How did you even get a keg stand?"
Denise: "It's portable and DIY. Now help me bring it down so that we can start the party."

Daphne: "The party is the perfect chance to raid everyone's room. They'll all be downstairs."

Daphne: "And it looks like someone left his drawer open."

Daphne: "These are just his clothes. Nothing of particular interest."

Andy: "This reminds me of all the frat parties I used to go to."

Vanessa: "There's a way to create a continuous flow of booze. Let me try and fix that."

Scott: "Our saviour!"

Mervyn: "Guys, I don't think a free flow keg is a good idea."

Denise: "Oh shut up and just give it a try. Either that or don't ruin the fun for the rest of us."

Mervyn: "...Fine. Letting loose once in a while won't hurt."

Mervyn: "Step aside."

Scott: "Where did you learn to do this?"

Mervyn: "Long story."

Scott: "Hey Daphne! Come down and join us!"

Denise: "Yeah, the fun is all here!"

Daphne: "Just a sip. I'm not a fan of beer."

Daphne: "Such childish fun. It's a good thing everyone is enjoying their youth."

Mervyn: "I hope I don't regret this."

Vanessa: "You won't."

Scott: "Support me, Denise!"

Scott: "Glurg..."

Denise: "You're too heavy..."

Scott: "Oof."

Denise: "Oh...sorry, dude."

Denise: "You fine, pal?"

Scott: "Yeah, I'm good."

Denise: "Awesome."

Vanessa: "I have my mini stereo all set up. Time to blast some music."

Daphne: "And that's my cue to go. This is fun and all but I have work to do."

Mervyn: "You should stop chugging the beer like that. It's bad for the liver."

Scott: "The booze ain't gonna drink itself."

Denise: "I'll share some of my happy pills. Just take it like your meds, like this."

Mervyn: "The keg is taunting me. I really shouldn't."

Scott: "Mervyn! Mervyn! Mervyn!"

Denise: "Mervyn! Mervyn! Mervyn!"

Scott: "Just once, okay? Then we won't bother you if you don't like it."

Mervyn: "Fine. Just once."

Scott: "That's my man."

Mervyn: "I don't see how any of this is safe."

Scott: "You don't get anywhere playing safe. Now just shove that tube in your mouth."

Denise: "Want some of this bong?"

Vanessa: "I'm good."

Denise: "More to myself then."

Vanessa: "Just try not to finish them all in one day."

Denise: "Chill, my dudette. I've got plenty."

Mervyn: "Glurg..."

Andy: "Let's grab a refill once Mervyn is done."

Scott: "You did great, man. Really went at it."

Mervyn: "I suppose that wasn't all that bad."

Scott: "My job here is done."

Gigi: "Hey Mervyn. How's it going?"

Mervyn: "I--burp!--am just cooling off. It's getting so hot."

Gigi: "A little. Let me join you."

Mervyn: "That's a surprise-burp! I didn't think you were the type to--burp!--skinny dip."

Gigi: "Same goes for you. Gosh, you're so drunk. Let me help you freshen up."

Mervyn: "I bet I can--burp!--hold my breath longer!"

Gigi: "You are on."

Mervyn: "Eww, water in my nose."

Mervyn: "I win!"

Gigi: "Wanna go streaking?"

Mervyn: "Let's run wild."

Daphne: "The rich rawness...a shot that I've taken before, but it wouldn't hurt to take it again."

Denise: "Ohh....that feels good..."

Denise: "I see love. Love and peace everywhere. It's such a wonderful world."

Vanessa: "I think we should take it down a notch. Most of you amateurs are already crazy drunk."

Denise: "Look at all the colours."

Scott: "Oh, girl, you look smokin' tonight."

Scott: "Mm..."

Andy: "Mmf..."

Vanessa: "Look at them go!"

Denise: "Huh...oh look. The butterfly has spread its wings."

Scott: "Oh girl...guy? What the..."

Andy: "Scott?"

Andy: "Uh...we were all drunk. It's just a little harmless fun."

Scott: "Yeah, no homo man. I've gotta go."

Scott: "Eww eww eww. I just kissed a guy!"

DAY 16

***********

Mervyn: "I passed out in the toilet...I think. I quickly grabbed a towel and ran in here. Some of them are passed out outside from yesterday, and I have a really bad hangover. My memory of yesterday's events is hazy, but if I'm naked and have no idea where my clothes are...what if someone finds out that a respectable cop did such a thing? I promised myself that I would only drink in extreme sorrow."

Mervyn: "I better change into something decent quickly...hey, why is my drawer closed? I never close it."

Denise: "Ugh, my head feels like it's being crushed by the weight of a thousand rocks."

Andy: "We may have partied a little too hard yesterday. Vanessa, how are you not drunk?"

Vanessa: "I can hold my liquor, unlike you guys. If I'd known I wouldn't have let you guys near the keg. It's for grown-ups who can handle it only."

Andy: "Very funny. I'm going to take a bath. You should too."

Denise: "Huh...I'm not drunk, Andy."

Andy: "Yep. She definitely needs a bath."

Vanessa: "I'll carry her. You go on ahead."

Vanessa: "Hop on. I've got a strong back. God, just how much did you smoke last night? The after-effects are still persisting. And I'm not talking about the smell."

Denise: "I'm being kissed by the sun!"

Gigi: "What's going on?"

Vanessa: "Had a little too much...I won't say to drink. The high is dying down and she's sobering up but I thought some sun would do her good."

Vanessa: "So Gigi. Let's talk about you. It's good that you and Andy have finally patched up."

Denise: "Like I say, make love, not war."

Vanessa: "Do you really?"

Gigi: "Wait, we're not like that. We aren't together."

Vanessa: "Then are you friends with benefits?"

Gigi: "What? No!"

Denise: "Dude...the two dudes kissed."

Gigi: "Who?"

Vanessa: "Andy and Scott. But they were definitely drunk."

Gigi: "Oh. Doesn't bother me too much. Andy was a frat boy. Frat boys do all sorts of crazy things. Kissing a guy is nothing."

Vanessa: "So kindhearted of you."

Denise: "Andy and Scott, dudette."

Vanessa: "Yes. Andy and Scott."

Denise: "I just discovered something horrible. I've run out of my drugs. All of them. My weed, my meth, all emptied. I didn't realise I had used up so much so fast. Now what do I do? I feel sadder without it already. Life now seems so gloomy. And I won't be able to calm down before the quiz!"

Vanessa: "Oh look at you! You're actually looking for something to eat."
Denise: "I'm starving, dudette."

Vanessa: "You really need to beef up. You look like a gust of wind can blow you away."
Denise: "Why not you shut the fuck up?"

Vanessa: "That was uncalled for."

Denise: "Mind your own goddamn business."

Vanessa: "She has zero chill today."

Denise: "Why is my hangover so bad, man? My headache isn't going away."
Vanessa: "Are you okay?"

Vanessa: "Denise, snap out of it!"

Denise: "I can't live without them. They're my babies. They are my world."

Denise: "You took them, didn't you? Give them back!"

Vanessa: "Enough is enough."

Denise: "Ow!"

Denise: "You slapped me?"
Vanessa: "I'm not your mother but you've forced my hand. If you're not going to take good care of yourself, then I'm going to have to do it for you."
