Cathy: Hey Seth, where’s the food? I thought I asked you to make some for us.
Seth: [eating happily] Uh, who is this “us”, again?
Cathy: [long, audible sigh]
Cathy: Well, when life gives you lemons. You make lemonade. I’ve got the perfect solution to this.
Cathy: Damn, they’re up already. I was hoping to spook them.
Seth: [thinking] I’m so glad she’s not the producer of this show.
Cathy: RISE AND SHINE, SLACKERS! MEET US IN THE BACKYARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Seth: [thinking] I still can’t believe Troye hired this woman. I’m still baffled she made it to the top five in her BC.
Seth: What the hell are we doing?
Cathy: You’ll see.
Cathy: Alright, everyone’s here! This-
Seth: No, we’re missing one.
Cathy: What the [bleep]? Who are we missing?
Emma: Sorry everyone! I need my exact beauty sleep to keep looking this refreshed.
Cathy: Alright, let’s get this show on the road!
Seth: Couldn’t we have let everyone change first?
Cathy: Nah. It builds character, trust me.
Cathy: Quit your whining y’all, we’ve got a challenge to do! Since someone didn’t cook your breakfast, you’ll be cooking on your own. We’ve got identical products for you all to use, so it’s a fair ballgame. The ones with the best quality waffles will be up for immunity. Ready, set, cook!
Cathy: Oh man, this takes me back to my BC. I could cry.
Seth: Really? It’s people cooking, big whoop.
Cathy: Stuff a sock in it Seth, you’re just jealous that your BC never made it off the ground. What about you Troye? Why aren’t you watching with us?
Troye: I bet these people are all nervous to make their waffles right, and we’re all half-naked. They don’t need any more stress with their potential lover staring them down.
Cathy: Suit yourself then.
Cathy: [off-screen] Looks like we have Remy, Finley, and Claude as our first contestants with a shot at immunity!
Cathy: [off-screen] Next up are Ethan, Chadrick, and Joey!
Cathy: [off-screen] Youch! Looks like Radley, Emma, Lily, and Annalise are not up for immunity!
Joey and Remy went inside to enjoy their meal, while the rest stayed outside in their sleepwear to eat.
Claude: [whispering] I heard the future chef burnt her waffles! How embarrassing!
Annalise: You’re talking to her, moron.
Claude: Y-yikes.
Cathy: Troye, this is your BC. I can get Seth’s lazy-ass to work on cleaning up.
Troye: It’s in my nature, Cathy. After the show, I’m not going to have the life of luxury, am I? I’m going to need to remember how to clean!
Cathy: Whatever.
Troye: Chadrick, I have to say, I’m impressed with you’re cooking skill. Those waffles looked gorgeous!
Chadrick: O-oh, thank you! I was partially motivated to find alternates to plasma that weren’t ramen noodles, you know?
Troye: Completely understandable. I had an all-ramen noodle diet for a while when I decided I was tired of pollen punch.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Eligible contestants were randomly sorted for a chance at immunity. The first slot went to Chadrick. However, despite this, the contestants all had a chance at autonomous interactions with the bacheloret. Which, not to spoil anything yet, will probably not happen again. The end notes will clarify this point.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joey: You know, weren’t you in that cheesy sci-fi film called Alien, based of that Britney Spears song?
Seth: [gasps] Yes! I can’t believe a fan is on the show I’m working on!
Joey: Listen, I hate to break it to you, but it was mediocre. I’m quite the connoisseur of these things, and that was a C-List movie at best.
Seth: [meekly] Oh…
Cathy: Yeah, I got some secrets on SimNation. I suppose I shouldn’t tell you, since they’re highly classified, but here it goes. The president--
[Audio and visual feed has been lost. Reestablishing connection….]
Emma: I have to say that I feel like you’re wrong. Chrysanthemums are a thousand times better than Marigolds. They’re much, much more practical.
Claude: All I was saying this that Marigolds can look prettier than Chrysanthemums. This isn’t a debate over their practical uses.
Troye: I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on you’re cooking skills, Remy. They’re very superb.
Remy: Oh, thank you! I thought I was going home for sure. Also, what’s with the lights? They were fine a moment ago.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Remy is our other immune contestant.
Remy: [off-screen] Oh, that’s why.
Claude: Heh, I mean if the juice is here, then why wouldn’t I take advantage of it?
Ethan: I mean, I can see your point on Andy Warhol, but I’m more of a Picasso kind of guy.
Remy: [disgusted] How could you heathen leave that pile of wet clothes on the floor for a day? Don’t come crying to me if they have mold, hmpf.
Joey: So, I have to ask, did you come from Moonlight Falls?
Claude: U-uh, no. Isla Paradiso, to be exact.
Joey: Oh, I figured most supernaturals came from Moonlight Falls.
Claude: A common misconception. While most supernatural beings descend from those in Moonlight Falls, we’re spread out everywhere.
Joey: Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up!
Claude: You’re welcome.
Radley took advantage of the unseasonably warm autumn weather, and took a dip in the pool.
Joey: You know, Ms. Baines, I have to say you’re doing a fantastic job at hosting. I know of some other BCs that have had sub-par hosts.
Cathy: [smiling] Thank you Joey! And please, call me Cathy.
Troye: So are you impressed with the house yet?
Emma: Sorry, no. But you know what’s impressive? This gal right here!
Troye: Sure Jan
Lily: [whispering] I’ve heard these things have been known to kill people!
Remy: [whispering] Right, and I’m a monkey’s uncle. What are the chances of that happening?
Troye: Can you believe how messy everyone is around here?
Joey: [yawing] Yeah, but that’s not what we should be talking about.
Troye: Then what are you suggesting?
Joey: A game of tag with the dashing bacheloret?
Troye: Oh you’re so on.
Ethan: Dang, Joey was right. Seth is mediocre in this production.
Cathy: Damn straight.
"Hey! You’re up too?"
"Hey! You’re up too?"
"Sure!"
"Do you think they would mind?"
"Nonsense! That’s why they put them out. Hey, why don’t we try those vending machines. It looks like they spared no expense for having them."
"Alright, but I don’t have any simoleans."
"That’s fine! Help me rock it."
[grunt] “It’s heavy!”
[more grunting] “Uh oh! Looks like I’m losing my grip!”
“What? You better grab—” [THUD]
