57.08-Sod off

In the previous mission, Finn, Anita and Lawrence had to identify songs based on lyrics to provide the others correct improv cues to act out. They succeeded in identifying 4 songs, and of the 4 cues correctly provided, none of them were done well, thus 0/110 points were earned to make the pot 183/410 points. Is the Mole at work? Who is the Mole?

Finn: "Are you feeling better?"

Anthony: "My stomach still hurts."

Finn: "You probably ate something bad. I have some stomach pills. You're probably also dehydrated. Let me get you some water too."

John: "You're doing a good job taking care of him. Have you worked as a nurse?"

Finn: "No but I used to be an army medic for 4 months before I was discharged so I learned a thing or two. Also, they always say you're dehydrated in the army and make you drink lots of water."

Lawrence: "You don't have to wait hand and foot on him. He's not going to grow up like this."

Finn: "He's sick. He needs someone to take care of him."

John: "Finn is right."

Finn: "Sit tight and relax. I'll be right back."

Anthony: "Ugh..."

Lawrence: "Don't you dare vomit in this room. If you need a toilet to hurl into get up and find one yourself...hey, did you pee all over the toilet seat by any chance?"

Anthony: "No, that's disgusting."

John: "What did you eat?"

Anthony: "I ate what everyone ate...except for breakfast. Lawrence made me some scrambled eggs."

Lawrence: "He was whining about nobody making him breakfast so I made something. I never claimed to be a good cook."

John: "It would be a shame if you had to leave the game because of this."

Lawrence: "He's a wuss if he can't take a little pain."

Lawrence: "Don't look at me like that or I'll beat your ass."

John: "Like what?"

Lawrence: "Like you're judging me. All of you think I did it and are siding with Anthony."

Lawrence: "Out of my way! It doesn't pay to be kind."

Anthony: "Do you think I'll be forced to go home? I don't want to go. I know who the Mole is!"

John: "Like I said, it would be a shame if you were to go home now..."

John: "...without telling me who Tina suspected in the first quiz."

Anthony: "Why does it matter? She's gone."

John: "Oh, you silly boy. Of course it matters. Her suspicions matter more than yours."

Anthony: "I'm the one who survived."

John: "You're an arrogant, entitled good-for-nothing brat. I agree with everything Lawrence said."

Anthony: "No I'm not!"

John: "You expect someone to make the bed for you. You expect to ride in a limousine. You expect food to appear on your table. You don't even know what an un-cracked egg looks like."

Anthony: "At least I know who the Mole is."

John: "I know who you think the Mole is."

Anthony: "How? I never told you?"

John: "I'm an investigative journalist. Nothing escapes me."

Anthony: "It doesn't matter. I'm going to be in the finale with a perfect score. I'm finally not below average."

John: "Hmm. That is interesting."

John: "You still haven't answered my question though. Who did Tina suspect when she went home? And don't try to lie to me, or I'll personally make sure you go home next."

John: "The nice thing about Anthony is that he unwittingly acts as my informant. He mingles with everyone else and sometimes they share with him some game-related information which he tells me because we're supposedly good friends. I just have to be indirect in asking him about it and he'll open up. But today I felt a bit more impatient. Either way, I get what I want."

Russell: "Yo Ximena, I was looking for you."

Ximena: "You were?"

Russell: "I love swimming and you're a diving instructor, so I was wondering if you could share with me some tips on diving. I'm interested in learning how to dive."

Ximena: "Oh. My first tip is always to be comfortable in the water and stay calm no matter what. It could be dangerous if you panic."

Ximena: "I strongly advise you to go with a professional though, especially if you're new to this."

Russell: "Maybe you could teach me how to dive."

Ximena: "Me? I'd love to but we're stuck here filming a season."

Russell: "I meant after the Smole."

Ximena: "Oh, do you have a date in mind?"

Russell: "Not yet. When are you free?"

Ximena: "Hmm, I'll be busy for the next 3 months. I'm fully booked."

Russell: "Even on weekends?"

Ximena: "Especially on weekends."

Russell: "That's a bummer. Guess I'll have to find another pro to teach me."

Ximena: "Sorry."

Lydia: "Who didn't clean up after themselves again?"

Aldrin: "I'll give you two guesses."

Lydia: "Russell and Anthony."

Lydia: "Seriously, I've seen worse messes on set and at least they know how to clean up after themselves."

Aldrin: "Sorry, I still can't get used to the fact that you do porn."

Lydia: "Direct porn."

Aldrin: "Hey, no judgement here. Some women have high libido and I get that."

Lydia: "You think I'm in it to get off? I'm here for the money!"

Aldrin: "But it's not what you're interested in and if you want to switch careers you're going to have a big resume gap."

Lydia: "I'm going to state it as it is. If they can't handle that, they can sod off."

Aldrin: "I just think you can do better."

Lydia: "Oh yeah? I think you can do better too! You're a smart man with a degree in astrophysics and  a dream of being the next man on the moon. You can do better than settle for a boring old astronomy job."

Aldrin: "At least mine is a related and respectable field. Wait I didn't mean it like that."

Lydia: "You meant it exactly like that. And at least mine isn't an obscure field that nobody thinks of. All you do is stare into a telescope all day and make notes that Sims thousands of years ago have already discovered with less technology."

Aldrin: "You think I don't want more? This job is stable and is close to what I want."

Lydia: "But it's not exactly what you want!"

Aldrin: "That's because I'm scared, okay?"

Lydia: "What are you scared of?"

Aldrin: "Heights. My feet shake when I climb to the top floor of a building. How am I going to go all the way into the exosphere?"

Lydia: "You climbed the word ladder tower no problem."

Aldrin: "That's because I couldn't really see how high I was until I reached the top. When I got there my feet were shaking like mad."

Lydia: "But you got up there regardless."

Aldrin: "I wasn't going to be mocked on international television. And it's all all lies when they say you conquer your fear once you've done it once."

Lydia: "Then do it again and again until you're fearless."

Aldrin: "Stop pushing me! Even if I conquer my fear there's no guarantee I'll get accepted into NASA as an astronaut."

Lydia: "Now you know how it feels."

Aldrin: "Huh?"

Lydia: "Now you know how it feels to be pushed when you don't want to move or can't move. Nobody understands you better than yourself, but it's always everyone else who advises you like they know better."

Aldrin: "I get your point. Sorry."

Lydia: "Apology accepted. But seriously. My case is different from yours. I'm not moving on because others don't give me the chance. You're not because you're not giving yourself the chance."

Aldrin: "Enough about me. What about you? Who's not giving you the chance?"

Lydia: "Try every single employer in the world. I always make it to the last interview, only to lose out at the last moment."

Lydia: "Actually, this phenomenon has been happening since young. I used to always get 2nd place medals in competitions, or get the second best results in the cohort. Or I get nominated for a film festival and then silence."

Aldrin: "Are you kidding me? Those are first world problems. I'll be happy to have all those achievements you did. I was a late bloomer."

Lydia: "I'm tired of second place finishes. I'm tired of false hope. Do you know how mentally draining it is to be raised only to be crushed? I was a nervous wreck for months because of this! I had to see a therapist to help me quell my anxiety. Not to mention all that wasted effort."

Aldrin: "Are you going to let that stop you?"

Lydia: "What do you mean?"

Aldrin: "You said it yourself. You don't let one failure define you."

Lydia: "This isn't one failure. It's over 200."

Aldrin: "You said you won't let it live rent-free in your head."

Lydia: "What do you think my therapist was for?"

Aldrin: "Sounds like we both have our fears."

Lydia: "I see this as a sign that fate wants me to direct porn instead. It's now my mission to dispel the notion Sims have about pornography."

Finn: "I can't fight this feeling any longer~"

Anita: "Is that Finn?"

Finn: "I only wish I had the strength to let it show~"

Finn: "Oh Anita! Have you been standing out here the whole time?"

Anita: "N-no."

Finn: "Phew. Were you looking for me?"

Anita: "Y-yes."

Anita: "I wanted to ask you how Anthony's doing."

Finn: "He's resting but he's doing much better now."

Anita: "The boy probably hasn't experienced rain without an umbrella before."

Finn: "It looks more like food poisoning than a cold."

Anita: "Finn, I overheard you singing in the shower."

Finn: "Oh no. So you were standing here the whole time!"

Anita: "You're a good singer. Have you considered making it a career or hobby?"

Finn: "You mean join some show choir? No and double no."

Anita: "Why not?"

Finn: "I'm a jock. I have a status to maintain."

Anita: "Are those cliques still present in today's schools?"

Finn: "Yes. So don't ruin my street cred by going 'round telling anyone what you heard. Everyone's gonna think I'm a girl."

Anita: "You know what? For that statement alone, I think I will. Hey everyone!"

Finn: "What are you doing? Shh! Okay, okay, I'll do anything!"

Anita: "Really? Then I suggest step 1 of putting your sexism aside is to start taking singing lessons from me. Meet me tonight after the execution, or your secret will be blasted to the whole world."

Ximena: "My tactic this season has been to try and get to the bottom few each time so that I can use it to eliminate one suspect each time. It's been working so far but I know I'm playing with fire here. I hope it's a risk that has a big pay-off for me."

Lydia: "The numbers are dwindling. If I want to take advantage of this twist, I'm going to have to do it now. I'll answer the first 10 questions in a way to completely exclude my backup suspect. If she's the Mole, I'm taking those 5 extra questions. Otherwise, I can forget about her entirely from now on."

"Contestants, tonight it is time for another one of you to be executed. But before that, I want to pose a simple question to all of you: who would you award an exemption to if you had the chance? You can't choose yourself."

Finn: "I'm giving it to my partner in crime Russell."

Russell: "And I'm giving it to my bro Finn."

Anthony: "I'm giving it to John because we were friends, although sometimes he's a bit weird about it."

Lydia: "I think I'm giving it to Anita."

Anita: "Oh thank you. Then I'll give it to you too."

Ximena: "I want to give mine to Anthony."

Anthony: "Thanks Ximena! Too bad I already gave mine to John."

John: "I'll give mine to Lawrence."

Lawrence: "Me? That's a surprise. I was just about to say I would give it to you."

Aldrin: "I think if hypothetically I had to, I would let Lydia have it."

"Ximena and Aldrin are the only two contestants to not be given an exemption."

"This means that both of them will be safe tonight."

Lawrence: "Are you serious?"

"Yes and no. They won't be going home tonight anyway, but they have a task to do."

"As for the rest of you, one of you will be executed tonight."

"Russell Terrier."

Russell: "I hope not."

Russell: "Phew. Would suck if I went home because of this."

"Anthony Hartono."

Anthony: "I have no fear. I have no more stomach aches."

Anthony: "Just as I thought."

"Lawrence Lasseter."

Lawrence: "Bring it."

Lawrence: "Yeah, too afraid to send me home."

"John Ronson."

John: "Mm-hmm."

"Will another woman be executed tonight or will it finally be a man?"

Finn: "Please no. Russell survived. I should too."

"Lydia Beckett."

"Unfortunately, Lydia Beckett, you have been executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Finn: "What? I mean, I'm glad to be still around and I'm sorry to see you go but...what?"

Lydia: "I should have seen this coming."

Lydia: "I took a risk and tried to be a smart aleck by gaming the twist and now it comes and bite my in my behind. It's a disappointment for sure. All I wanted to do was to win for once. I'm up against a smart group and Mole, that's for sure."

"Thank you for joining, Lydia. We hope to see you soon."

The smartest woman of the season has been executed! If even she has been fooled, who exactly is the Mole?
