64.05-I'm a horse


In the previous episode of the Smole, the contestants took part in various contests twice to improve their performance. Effort was rewarded for the dogs and Mister Whiskers, bringing 30/70 more points to the pot. Pereditphe and Terry won their contests and exemptions, and it was the nameless dog that was executed second. Who will be executed third? Will Pereditphe and Terry claim yet another exemption? Could they be the Mole?

Terry: "I don't like calling him Nameless Dog. I prefer calling him Chestnut. Chestnut was my friend here, even if he didn't want to admit it. I think despite his mean exterior, he's a nice dog deep down and wants to be loved by someone. In a way, he's just like all of us. In another life, he would have been a great pet. I'll miss him. And as the only dog left I'll bring honour to the pack."

The contestants will go singing karaoke for their next mission. They will be given one song each to sing and they must sing to the best of their ability. Here's the catch: they don't see or hear the lyrics, so they must rely on their sense of rhythm. Up to 5 points will be awarded for each singer, with the maximum winnings in this mission being 30 points. 


Terry goes first. His song is Risk It All by Bruno Mars.


Close your eyes and try to sing if you want to play along!


Terry: "For just the chance to win your heart~"


Terry: "Ain't no mountain you could point to that I wouldn't climb~"


Terry: "If my heart's on the line take mine~"


Terry: "I'd risk it all for you, I'd risk it all for you~"


Terry: "I'm done. Why is the song still playing?"


"Terry, the karaoke gods have assessed your rhythm. You have scored 0/5 points."
Terry: "Oh come on! I should get something for that."
Pereditphe: "That was horrid."

Pereditphe: "Terry was going faster and faster and faster. Was he rushing to get dinner?"

🐾

Terry: "I got too excited."

Pretteh is second. Her song is Tale as Old as Time from Beauty and the Beast.




Pretteh: "AAAH!"


Pretteh: "It's so loud!"


Pretteh: "Tale as old as time, true as can be..."


Pretteh: "Then somebody bends unexpectedly..."


Pretteh: "Ever just as sure that the sun will rise~"


Pretteh: "Certain as the sun rising in the east~"


Pretteh: "Beauty and the beast~"


"Pretteh, the karaoke gods have listened...really really hard, because you were very soft, but it sounded like you sang the right lyrics at the right time for the most part so you'll get 5/5 points."

Pretteh: "I absolutely hated, hated, HATED this mission. Even more so than all the running one. I'm going to go deaf after this. But the song that played while loud did remind me of the times I curled up on Manura's lap watching Beauty and the Beast or Wicked."

Duke is the next to sing. His song is I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) by Whitney Houston.




Duke: "This is groovy."


Duke: "Do I start singing?"


Duke: "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY, WANNA FEEL THE HEAT WITH SOMEBODY~"
Earl: "This is so embarrassing."


Duke: "Now must be an instrumental."


Duke: "I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY~"

🐾

🐾



Duke: "I wasn't allowed to shout growing up so boy did it feel great to sing out my lungs. Too bad I also don't get played lots of music so I only knew one line from this song. Hey it's a miracle I know any songs at all; I'm a horse."

🐾

🐾

🐾



"The karaoke gods have decided you deserve nothing. 0/5 points."

🐾

🐾

🐾



Mister Whiskers: "The only words I can use to describe that was...tone-deaf."


🐾

Pereditphe is the next to sing and her song is Jolene by Dolly Parton.




Pereditphe: "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~"


Pereditphe: "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene~"


Pereditphe: "Your beauty is incomparable~"


Pereditphe: "I cannot easily understand how you take my man~"

🐾

🐾

🐾




Pereditphe: "That was an exemplary performance. Did you hear the final two Jolenes? They were as perfect as a sautéed fish. The Mitchell clan would be proud."

🐾

🐾

🐾



Pereditphe: "Why is no one clapping for me?"
Terry: "Uh, cause it sucked?"
"The karaoke gods have assessed and determined that you get 1/5 points."
Pereditphe: "That is ridiculous. It's flawless."

🐾

🐾

🐾


Terry: "Pereditphe thinks she's all that. She deserves to be taken down a notch. The only thing that saved her were her Jolenes."

Earl's song is My Way by Frank Sinatra.




Earl: "My friend, I'll say it clear~"


Earl: "I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption~"


Duke: "Nickers! I want your voice."


Earl: "Oh no not me, I did it my way~"


"Earl, that performance got you 4/5 points by the karaoke gods."
Terry: "That was good."


🐾

🐾

🐾




Earl: "When I was a young foal, my groomers would play me Frank Sinatra to soothe me whenever I got scared or upset. That man can croon."

🐾

The final singer is Mister Whiskers, who will perform Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley.




Mister Whiskers: "Shall I stay....emm...if I knew..."


Mister Whiskers: "Some things are meant to be~"


Mister Whiskers: "I can't help falling in love with you~"


Mister Whiskers: "This is a nightmare. It's like showing up to an exam unprepared. That's what I always hear little Betty being told by her mother."


Mister Whiskers: "I can't help falling in love with you~"


"Mister Whiskers, that performance was deemed by the karaoke gods to be too fast at times, too slow at times, and at times you just lost the lyrics. You get 1/5 points for that. In total, 11/30 points have been earned. Time to step up your game or the Mole will overturn the situation by the end."
