Or you know - Playing video games with my friends... ding ding ding - JACKPOT!

Rooney: Well, I think I won't get in many fights - I usually get along with everyone pretty good... And what else... OH! I'll cook! I'll cook for everybody! I roll a mean meatball, you know! *Winks and laughs*
Nikki: And why are you in the game? Did you enter with any specific reason?
Rooney: I just think it will be a rad experience, you know! I mean, of course, one million dollars is a big deal, but getting here is already a huge deal! Which, though, makes your wishes so much better - oh golly - What if I really win? *Everybody laughs*
Rooney: Well - As I was saying - it's an awesome experience and am looking to make some friends too!

Trevor: That sounds great Rooney. Listen - no offence or anything, but I really need to ask you this - are you in any shape at all to compete - physically speaking...


Rooney: Well... uhmm...
Trevor: Just answer me...
Rooney: Well, I don't really work out, if that's what you're asking me...
Trevor: So, why did you apply in the first place, the application said...
Rooney: I know what the application said, but, it's not all about my physical shape now... It's a reality show, dammit! And like it or not, mister sports star - I am the majority. A lot of people like me are out there and like it or not, I am representing my people - people who just want to have fun - not judging on their looks! Just having fun! *Keeps his serious face at first, but then bursts into laughter and walks to Trevor - whispers something in his ear and sits back down*
Trevor: *Laughs* You had me there for a second. Any way, I don't like your cause, but I respect the way that you stand up for it! Rooney all the way!
*Applause, Rooney waves to the crowd and walks down the stage*

Nikki: What was all that about?
Trevor: Provocation is the key to success. I just thought he needed a little boost in confidence.
Nikki: You don't simply frighten the very last remaining body fluid out of a competitor, Trevor!

Kelly: What was that?
Brook: Oh, nothing!

Kelly: Ugh... I'm from here. I'm from downtown Bridgeport. And what I do in my free time - well, you'll just have to wait and see *bends tips of mouth upward*
Brook: Well, how about this: Is there a special someone rooting for you at home?
Kelly: Pfff... Yeah, Like I've got time... And I'm guessing your follow up question is will I fall for anybody in the house? Judging on what kind of people usually apply to this kind of shows - no. I am here to win.
Brook: Well... Okaay, Kelly... See you in the show!
Kelly: *smirks, stands up and leaves*


Trevor: What was that?
Marvin: People have some issues, I know... At least I thought that they might try to win some popularity points for themselves
Nikki: What are you talking about?
Marvin: Oh you know, lots of people try to act to become crowd favorites. She's not winning any points with me on that one, but still, I think she is a major threat to everybody

TO BE CONTINUED...

[Widonja]

TOUR DE HOUSE!

THE CROSSROAD

This is The Crossroad from the front...

The main entrance area...

... Opens up into a big living room...

With a large TV Viewing area - that's where the contestants will hear from us,...

...And a cooking/dining area.

A door from the living room leads to an eight bed bedroom with a light up trophy in the middle. It symbolises the winner takes all spirit.

Another door leads to the main make up room - bathroom ...

Through which a smaller - bath and shower only room - the washroom!

From the lobby - there is a small door that leads to the confessional. Here, you will see our competitors yammer about their feelings and lifes... yay!

From the confessional and form the confessional only competitors will access the 'DANGER ZONE'. It's the room where they will fight for their staying in the game in one way or the other. The doors will be locked through most of the week.

The entrance's staircase leads to the skill floor - the floor purely dedicated to sims improving their skills. First, it's the friendly play room. Here, sims will be able to play games that require a partner. Chess. Foosball, Snooker... It's all here!

For Athletic souls, the house has a gym.

An Artist's corner for Artists...

And for the more disciplined souls - the house even has a DOJO.

A lovely indoor pool can be accessed from the hallway or the team play room.

And the last room on the tour is for our crazy minded sims who tend to create a bit more... extremely...

What do you think of the house?[/size]

Ladies and gentlemen... this is it. We know our hosts. We know our commentators and we know where they will be living. Our last order of business is to announce the winner of our last poll... Drumroll please...

The winner and the host who will set up the first challenge is...


Nikki.
Nikki: Oh Happy day! Thank you for everybody who voted for anybody! I will not let you down, guys!

Brook: Nikki will set up the first challenge and announce the rules of the competition via TV to the cast when they settle in the house. For our next interactivity number - we want you - the viewer to do the next - send in your unique combination of two competitors. We will not tell you what the pairs will be like, nor will they benefit your favorite competitor or not. That is a secret yet to be revealed. So PM Widonja with a unique pair of two competitors.

Now it's time to make it official. The contest is under way NOW Untill next time - See you on the crossroads!

[Widonja]

I'm still accepting, PMs, as I haven't gotten almost any, the story was unable to progress... If I will not get pairings, I will find a way to progress the story differently as originally planned...

[Audren]

Marvin Q looks an awful lot like Martin Xavier from The Mole. Were they based off the same model?

[Widonja]

If you read the bio of Martin Xavier, it says there that he's his twin
I didn't really have time to create a new character and I'm playing a story with this two brothers  both chasing for the stars in their own ways

[Widonja]

Partial rules have now been poste, and with school out of the way, I'm starting this... Writing the first update now, sorry for the wait! Tell your friends... In the mean time - converse here - Who's your favorite Competitor? Who has made the biggest impression on you so far?

[Widonja]

Week 1: Part 1
The contestants have finally moved in to the house. Their first task, however, was to gather around the big television to get some info on their first challenge.

As they all get comfortable on their respective spots, Nikki is shown on the TV.

Nikki: Hey Guys!
Everybody: Hey Nikki!
Nikki: Are you liking the house?
Clayton: It's awesome! EPIC!
Ela: It's Super amazing-o riffic!
Rooney: It Rocks!
Nikki: That's great to hear! Now, it's time to tell you about your first challenge. As you know, every week you will be part-taking in either an award or an elimination challenge. You'll be pleased to know that this week, nobody is getting eliminated!
Jehtro: *Rumble, rumble*
Quinn: Yeah!!
Nikki: This week, your challenge will be made from two parts. On saturday - the day the challenges will be happening - you will rate your household on who you like the most - that person gets 6 points - and who you like the least - 0 points. The other half of the challenge will consist of a surprise skill challenge, that will be pre-determined by our audience via poll. So, what you have to do this week is just spend your time actively - try to improve some skills, or just - you know - make friends! The choice of the strategy is yours! Ok guys, that's all from me... now just... you know... Have fun and I'll see you on saturday! Byee!
Everyone: Bye!

Clayton: So... What now?
...TBC

I know what YOU have to do now! You should vote on what skill challenge should take place on the first week! That can be done here: http://poll.fm/3rq2b

[loveSims]

I have voted. Looking forward to all the fun!

[SadieHamming]

Voted as well, should be interesting!

[Widonja]

Week 1: Part 2
After's Nikki's little talk, the members of the household went on to have an easy going first day.

Clayton: Oh, this is the life!
Rooney: You said it, bro!
Clayton: Oh, My name is Clayton, by the way... Clayton Cook!
Rooney: Pleased to meet you!

Rebecca: So, what do you think of the house so far?
Ela: It's awesome! Amazing! Superb!
Rebecca: It is nice, isn't it...
Ela: Nice? This is what you call nice. WE HAVE AN INDOOR POOL. A JACUZZI. We have a freaking light up statue in the middle of our bedroom. That isn't just nice, sister. It's Iconic.
Rebecca: *Laughter*

But there was a pair of sims that just seemed to be in a different story. It seems that the seeds of our first alliance have already been planted.
Kelly: Jehtro, come over here
Jehtro: And, might I ask, why?
Kelly: Just get over here, idiot!
Jehtro: What do you want me for?
Kelly: Listen, this is a competition and I have no intention of helping anybody, but if - in a tragic mistake of the production team, I get eliminated, I want somebody that is at least not half-moronic like the others to win.
Jehtro: So what do you propose?
Kelly: I want to work together. I mean, we both know we're the favorites to win anyway. But those happy-go lucky guys and perky chicks are just one step away from ganging up on their superiors.
Jehtro: I agree. Let us work together. What is your plan?
Kelly: Well, we have to be prepared for anything. I suggest chess - for now.

While the others were having their meet and greet, Kenny chose to finish his book instead.
*********
Ela: Girls night! Girls night! Gotta love Girls night!

Quinn: Relax, Ela, it's just me, Rebecca and you grabbing a game of pool.
Rebecca: Plus, we're missing Kelly
Quinn: Kelly... she has a dark aura... She just seems mean. I don't like her
Ela: Yeah, She isn't a girl, she's a monster!

Jehtro: So who do you think is the weakest link in the house?
Kelly: I don't know... I haven't talked to a lot of people so far...
Jehtro: Then guess. Check*
Kelly: Hmm... Well, that Clayton guy just gets on my nerves. I mean, he is just an awkward dude. Plus he isn't really helpful?
Jehtro: Is anybody helpful around here? Check*
Kelly: I don't know. Rooney seems to cook great.
Jehtro: I still don't like him.
Kelly: Hey, I hate his guts too, it's just strategy. I rather have him around than half the house....


As most members lay to rest for the first time, there were only two night birds...
Kenny, still behind the books, and Jehtro, working on his body.


But as the clock struck 2 am, even those two got some shut eye, as the trophy glowed on.

[SadieHamming]

Seems like the game is heating up a bit, friendship and alliances are forming! Can you tell Kenny that reading a book is not going to help him win friends?

[Widonja]

One social Kenny Bo is coming up!
