#anyway vote for ozzy

[rnurder-one]

[morganbritton132]

So I love the EMTS so much and one that sits on my mind constantly is the one where we find out Ozzy’s full name is Oswald. I can see Eddie bringing it up every once and a while on tiktok and wanting to do a poll to see if eveyone agrees with him or Steve on the name.

(I had to google if TikTok allows you to do polls and apparently it does)

Ozzy will answer to Oswald and a part of Eddie dies inside every time.

“It’s not that it’s a bad name,” Eddie says in one video, “I mean, it is. It’s fucking awful. If your parents named you that, they don’t love you, but like, Ozzy is so much cooler.”

“He’s literally – He’s named after Ozzy Osbourne, guys,” Eddie says in a different video, “Literally, one of the first one-on-one conversations I ever had with Steve was me comparing him to Ozzy Osbourne and him not know who that is. It was a bonding moment. That’s why Ozzy is called Ozzy.”

“Ozzy Osbourne’s name is not Oswald!”

“I think it’s cute,” Steve says in another video when Eddie’s complaining about it. Ozzy’s head is resting on Steve’s stomach as he pets him. “It’s like that little octopus cartoon. My second graders used to watch it during recess when it rained.”

“Ozzy is not an octopus, Steve.”

“I know, but like. Same thing.”

“How???”

Eddie eventually does a poll when he finds out that that is something that he is able to do. He tells Steve about it and Steve informs him that it won’t matter anyways, “I’m like, the election college. My vote is the one that matters.”

“It’s electoral college,” Eddie says, “And it should be abolished. This is actually a really good example of why that-“

Eddie forgets that a lot of his fans are sarcastic little assholes and the poll is 50/50 both sides.

you know what would be a interesting au

the events of burning branches happen except the wedding proposal letter happens like a day or two before the Biggest loudest Crazies party ever

Well, if Char were around during the party attack, he would not be alone. They're would be Rockers around and I think they would take the Chef down, and help relocate the Pop tribe to a closer forest area to Rock territory.

However if She did get away with the snack-pack, Char would follow Poppy because it's clear she has ZERO survival skills. During the journey they learn a lot about each other.

"I really don't understand why you're so against hug time."

"It's because it feels insincere. Like Hugs should be something special, when someone needs it. Not scheduled. And I'm not used to strangers touching me."

"*gasp* you don't hug your' friends! That's so sad!"

"What? no. I hug my friends but it's not one the hour, and my friends aren't just random people in the streets."

"You aren't friends with everyone in your village?"

"I can't. There's over 5000 people just in the main city alone. Too many to know personally and get stuff done."

"But you do you take care of them if you don't know them?"

"Majority vote."

"But wouldn't that mean that some of them won't be happy with the plan."

"Yeah, the needs of the many out weight the needs of the few."

"Could you just find a way to make them all happy."

"Sometimes, but in some cases you can't. Why are you so concerned with how happy they are anyway."

"Uhm duh! That's the job of the king or Queen, keeping the people happy! Is that not how it works for Rock trolls?"

"No, the crown's job is to keep people safe, secure and stable."

"So, was Creek right and you guys can't feel happy?"

"We can feel happy, it's just we have other things to worry about over our next thrill trip, and don't trust anything Creek says about us. If you have questions about MY culture you can ask me, and not the guy who calls us barbarians."

"Creek was just joking when he called you that!"

"You mean racism to you is joking around. You're lucky it wasn't Val who over heard that."

"It's not racism!"

"Poppy! he's been calling our traditions and beliefs, savage and backwards. How would you like it if someone some tried to tell you you're music and holidays suck and you should practice there holidays! You know it was exactly this that led to the Great string war."

"String war? They fought over he strings? Dad told me that all the tribe went their separate ways amicably."

"OH...my ozzy..."

It's a very enlightening trip.

Char is fighting an odd buzzy migraine from the moment of they enter Bergentown. He mutters a prayer to Ozzy when they watch Creek get "eaten", Char may not like the guy, but no one deserves that fate. And he pities Bridget for the mistreatment she has but he has trolls to free. His future wife continues to baffle him, with the belief that Creek was still alive and then making a deal with bridget, and that that deal sends his headcahe over the edge.

Poppy is too happy befriending Bridget to notice Char's state until Bridget asks if someone was wrong with him. When Poppy turns to to find Char passed out on the ground twitching, she's panicking. Was he sick? Was this normal for Rock trolls?

During the fit Char sees the Chef grab a elder troll with mint colored hair while the feeling of falling over took his body. He was grateful the seizure was a quick one, since Poppy looked really freaked out once his vision cleared. He shows his scar and explains the head wound, and seizure condition. They let him take a short nap while they get Bridget ready since they were worried for him.

Poppy and Bridget would gossip about boys, Poppy wanting to know all the details about Bridget's love for the Bergen king while they get her ready. Poppy tells her about how Char is her fiance, and Bridget wants to know all about that. "So, he came across the world to marry you and save his people? he sounds very brave." "Yea...I guess he is."

When Creek's betrayal happens, He tells the chef all about the Rock tribe, and Char threatens to kill him!

At the end, Barb and the other Rock trolls barge in to save everyone...right after peace is made.

Xavier Student Paper: Issue #3

Exploding Population; New Imp who dis

Starting off this week's news round up with a lighter topic as there are several issues that are still developing. I'd like to offically welcome new student, Dev to our Mutant family. Dev has already gotten in my goodbooks everyone, though through which secret method I will not disclose. Can't have everyone knowing how to sweeten me up afterall.

Anyway! Dev has been to the school previously, and has now returned as a student so please give them a warm welcome. Though do be forewarned that they do seem to have a mischievous streak. Though, there's nothing wrong with that, if you ask me! [ relevent parties: @imp-decisive ]

Treasured Student gone missing

As some of you have likley heard, Jubiliation Lee [ aka Jubilee] was last seen a few nights ago after an incident we'd rather not disclose in the paper. Her room had been wrecked, and vacated. She has since not been seen by staff and students alike.if you have any news regarding her whereabouts, or any leads as to where she may now be, please inform a member of staff.

And Jubilee if you're reading this please come home. Everyone is worried for you, and we miss you. We're arranging for someone to clean up your room and keep it heated for when you come back.

Everyone here at the XSU shares my sentiments.

We hope you're okay

Mutants in Musical land

With the return of professor hearth from Brazil, the schools play has been selected and auditions will begin soon. As you may have guessed, the chosen play for this year was voted on by members of the board;

And they came to the decision to put on a variant of Alice in wonderland.

When asked why she chose this particular play, professor hearth highlighted the importance of representing a young mutant girl with a rare ability such as essokinesis [ or sommo-realm traversal depending on your interpretation] , and how the book at the time was a revolutionary topic. For showing a young mutant with little control over an ability that wasn't being used to assist her Flatscan peers was entirley unheard of.

Well, I wish everyone luck in their auditins!

[ relevent parties @lessons-in-poison ]

Sneaky thief? Or mischievous rodent?

Deanne has been informed by a few students of missing items, and of hearing odd squeaks late at night. If you have anything to report, please talk to Deanne in the union club room. Right now, the leading theory is that there may be an escaped pet rodent in the vents that's been unknowingly stealing everyone's stuff.

Personally, I want to believe that the real thief was the friends we made a long the way.

[ relevent larties: @hare-and-gone ]

New professor! Can't wait to prank them!

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to a new professor we've noticed roaming the halls! Welcome! Professor Ozzie will be teaching Ecology. I actually had to look that one up!

Ecology is the study of how living things interact with their environment! Which, for anyone whose interested in biology and chemistry I think you'd quite like this class!

I'm considering signing up myself!

Also, can I just say it's mighty fine to see another disabled mutant joining the staff. Welcome professor!

[ Relevent parties @ozzie-the-stoat ]

New club has popped up!

The "Dark ones" is now accepting new members. They can be found in the dingy meeting room right when you come into the hangar. Honestly, I'm 99% sure this is just a cult. Which professor signed off on this and why was it gambit? Well, okay let's see what this totally-not-a-cult or gathering of witches will do. [ crime, probably]

Do Vampires dream of electric sheep?

Molly isn't quite sure, however she is planning to conduct a survey in this issue

Misappropriation of Lost and Found

To the person claiming recent missing property to sell back to their owners at Mark up, we have been informed that you're on your final warning. If you continue the XSU members will report this behaviour

Is that a bird? A plane? No its just Warren coming home again!

Warren has finally returned! But also informed me of something very very very weird. It seems theres some strange going ons at the mansion.

A bunch of professors are being turned into animals. Who is doing this?

And why am I pretty sure it's the aftermentioned dark ones / witch coven/cult ppl.

[lyraspace]

Here are some old sketches of my interpretations of the Bone Cousins' parents!

(Bios under cut)

Phonicible P. Bone Sr. and Lunette (née Bonebright)

Full of a slick wit and an irresistible charisma, by the end of the day you WILL want what Phonicible's selling. It's gotten him into many a shady deal and sticky situation, much to his older brother's chagrin, but most of the time he's been able to talk his way out of it, somehow. You'd think he'd have girls all over him, but surprisingly not so; Phonicible plans to use his charms to win over one girl in particular, but he has his work cut out for him so far...

Meanwhile, as Heiress to one of the richest families in town, Lunette is used to the finest of delicacies and goods; no imitations. The same goes for her choice of men; she often plays hard to get and abrasive just to get most of her suitors to back off.(Most of them are pompous losers that think women shouldn't vote anyway.) She's slightly intrigued by Phonicible's endeavors to win her over, even more so by his family's old money and illustrious status. If only he didn't dress like a carnival barker out for a quick buck. But he is respectfully persistent, she'll give him that.

Oswald "Ozzie" Bone and Garland (née Bonewort)

Strong as an ox. Gentle as a lamb. Fills a room with laughter wherever he goes. Despite being the baby of the three brothers, Ozzie is larger than life in more ways than one, being one of the few inheritors of what his family calls "The Freak Tall Gene" (Nobody knows where it comes from.) A jack of all trades, Ozzie prefers to help out where he's needed rather than stay stuck in one job forever. He'd even do it for free if it weren't for Phonicible and Silas insisting he get paid for his labor. Ozzie doesn't have many cares in life, but there's something about the girl who lives in that miserable looking run-down shack at the edge of town that he can't get out of his head. If only she saw herself the way he does…

Nowadays, Garland is pretty good at a lot of things. Cooking, sewing, gardening, you name it; you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better at it than her in Boneville. She's never one to brag, though. But once, she hardly had the self worth to think she could do anything right. She used to be a skinny, nervous girl who lived in a dump of a house with even lousier parents, before Oswald met her. She ran away to live with him and never looked back. Afterwards, she blossomed into a beautiful, bubbly person inside and out, with a smile to match.

Silas Bone and Harper (née Brookbone)

As the eldest of the Bone Brothers, Silas takes his job as head of the family very seriously, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like his fair share of fun. An avid writer, he loves documenting the history of his extraordinary family and the interesting town they call home. His books aren't the most popular, but he doesn't mind; he'd love to talk to you about them anyway, especially so with the young library assistant that's his biggest fan...

Quiet, shy, and her face always in a book, Harper isn't really the type of girl that turns any heads. To escape her mundane life as a library assistant, she absorbs herself into the hundreds of books at her disposal and loves to imagine herself as an active member of the adventure. Her favorite of which being the adventures of Big Johnson Bone and his descendants; the most interesting of them being Silas, the author. Chatting with him about his books is the most exciting part of her day...the days he visits the library, at least. Maybe if she pulled herself together and opened herself up to Silas more, he'd finally see her in a different light and make her a part of his story...

[classificationhell]

Woo! I have two thoughts today! Both to do with Ozzie and Fizz! What if they had a little that has a huge oral fixation and is constantly chewing on something. Even things that should not be chewed. The second one is more so wondering how they would handle them both having to go in for work. Like would they bring their little in with them or do they get someone to babysit? Hope you’re doing well and not overworking yourself with your stories! :3

Thank you and I'm doing alright. Currently tallying up the votes for the next Chapter of the Alastor fix and writing what I can. Should be out either tomorrow or the next day, Susan will be mentioned briefly.

Unto your question though, with the first scenario with the Little with an oral fixation there's the easy joke that they have something for them to suck on, but that's only for big them hehehe they'll try and keep a stock on things like suckers or gum (if they don't like pacis) or (if they do) Ozzy might make pacifiers that are specifically designed for the sharper teeth of the citizens of hell, something that can be sucked or chewed on with no issue. If it's mainly a chewing thing they would try gum, but if it's to the point that they're putting too much strain on their jaw muscles they'll try and see what they can do to curb such behavior, because while they want them to be happy and content they can't condone doing things that might hurt them or affect their health. They won't try and make them stop just see if they can find some therapist either in Sloth or a sinner that might have some suggestions on things to try instead (like maybe going to sucking instead of straight on biting).

As for the last one if for some reason they're regressed and they're both due to be at Ozzie's then they might look into babysitting, but they don't have to be on stage at the same time most of the time so they might take turns watching them in the office. If for some reason they both have to go to another ring for a little while and they don't feel comfortable taking their Little they might hit up Blitzø who might recommend Stolas since I feel like he wouldn't feel like he could watch a Little. If they beg, offer a could sum of cash, or Fizz pulls a for old time's sake then I feel like he'd say yes but have a 75 percent chance of calling Stolas anyway.

Blitzø as a babysitter is doing his best. They're watching whatever Hell's equivalent to My Little Pony is together, and he gives them sugary snacks and cereal as a meal. This would only work out if the Little is relatively easy-going and doesn't cry because their main Caregivers are gone. If he hadn't called him already the moment we started crying the imp would be on the phone to Stolas faster than you could say help me.

Stolas is a Caregiver and I feel like he'd drop almost anything to rush over if he heard crying on the other end of the line. If Blitzø called him before we came over he may be kind of disappointed that this wasn't the date he thought it was going to be when Blitzy asked him to come over, but he would cheer up seeing a Little. If they're upset and crying he would sing and use his magic to calm them down. Once they are no longer crying it would be a lot of playing or coloring, whatever they prefer, and Stolas would give them healthier snacks like seeds or nuts or maybe a square of dark chocolate and say it's a treat for being extra good. If they stay long enough to need a meal I feel like Fizz and Ozzie brought something, heck they probably had a list of things they liked and rules or whatever but Blitzø lost that shit five minutes after they got there, but Blitzø either ruins it trying to reheat it unsupervised or just plain forgot about it and Stolas ends up having to go get them something because while he eats cereal himself he doesn't want their meal to consist mainly of the sugar packed stuff in Blitzø's pantry.

Overall the experience was good and they might ask them again if it was both of them. If it was just Blitzø... well their Little had fun at least but it'll take them hours to calm down from the sugar high and they can tell from the unheated forgotten container of good in your bag that Blitzø didn't do much more than glance at the list they left him. Still, if they're in a pinch they'll call again because their Little told them all about what a good time it was.

s9 vol 7 thoughts: ah fuck this season has its problems but I don't think I've ever been this conflicted over love interests in a while

STEFAN 😍😍😍 literally I have to change my top five islanders now like I'm so sorry evan. AND he's an artist?? And it's my own fault for already buying into the second chance romance bit before he even showed up but like he's not ugly? omg stop. oof it's tough, like, shit I'm so sorry Natasha and Hamish I don't know who to pick in this love square they've got

him illustrating his sister's book for his sisters?? 🥺 I may be folding for that alone

I like Cassius' design. I like it more than Theo's but he does remind me of Liam unfortunately. and also he's looking like my MC's cousin this season so I gotta pass this time but makes it easier for me. but he does seem great, I like him and he's sweet without being boring (so far), but I also kinda wish we had an LI that gave us more pushback/banter? bc I picked a few options that disagreed with his whole thing about love/fate and he was just like "yeah fs that's a cool opinion too" which OK I get it he's nice but I'm just kinda sick of all the Islanders being so agreeable to MC. I guess Marshall is supposed to be the banter-y one but I have problems with him being here so I wish it was Cassius instead.

that being said they're fucking teasing me with this response to why are you here though

also at some point Cassius calls his season boring and I thought it was funny fusebox was dunking on themselves bc I didn't finish s7 either but no he was just referring to the fact he got dumped quickly.

I'm glad Lyle is back, like I'd be upset if an islander was only brought on for a date and then left, so I'm not mad at this even though he was momentarily mad at MC (and that became nothing?? like just take out that plot point) and i dont really care hes only coded in for Kat now. I'm just more upset bc they've literally already done this in S8 bc your LI has to pick between Sienna and Bea when they get "dumped" and then Sienna comes back in Casa.

And then we get to marshall and I don't even wanna talk about it. And ive made separate posts and reblogged some opinions on that so ill just add that also i hate his orange outfit. him dressing all white and ozzy all black was peak I hate he's out here in orange smh.. anyway so that'll be easy for me to not pick this season

although we get this and I thought it was funny like OK fine you got me marshall

he says it with a smile too not even angry/sarcastic

then after that I honestly don't remember what happens apart from way too many challenges all at once and the whole Stefan storyline. I wanted him to be a little upset initially bc it did seem like MC had some misunderstanding and then left him so quickly like I just wanted a little bit of angst where he came in with the gameplan of wanting to give her a piece of his mind and was on the show bc he couldn't contact her any other way, before he realized he was being silly and just was happy to see her again. like if anything, the story beats that Lyle goes through being snarky at mc in episode 1 then immediately asking for forgiveness by episode 3 makes more sense for Stefan but nah instead it just feels like another perfect li loyal route (which is fine but I like some tension in the story). like we can still have the terrace scene where he explains things though.

also if I saw this on love island? I'd be voting for them without question the angst is so good

OK I'm looking thru my screenshots and am now remembering I was upset at raunchy races for being subjective again. notable offenses:

straight out the gate, most creative boy and Kelly says "craft brewing is creative" gtfo as if it's not Chen the set designer (and anyone who brought back Lyle from the dates, I'd imagine musician over craft beer brewer as well)

Kat somehow doesn't win best dancer

I love Kelly and sure, biggest foodie but not when my mc is a chef smh at least in S6 the dialogue would change slightly with your occupation lmao

the physical challenge is OK but I just think it doesn't belong in casa. like on the actual show where they spend real days in casa it's fine but for the game that has to shorten it bc the volumes definitely don't add up to the length of real love island, it feels like a waste. if anything, the real villa needed a physical challenge rather than continuing to do variations on excess baggage type games.

someone help Kelly out with the mask pls

anyway the OG islander to visit instead of a postcard is interesting. I think a postcard makes the most sense but bc the game has to fabricate drama while also probably wanting most of the guys to still look good since the villa is like 75% love interests for MC, maybe it makes sense?

I think having it be MC's partner doesn't give us a lot of drama unless MC wants to bring up Stefan. Finn and Hamish could be interesting whether you're pursuing them or not. Like under the guise of them checking in on their partner, but they just care about MC and are asking her not to forget them. Most likely i think it'll be Kat's partner and he'll make up some lies about what's happening in the villa.

anyway a little rough first few weeks of the season but I'm enjoying at least this episode, surprisingly, so we'll seeeeee.... I think the seasons generally gets worse post casa so I'm not betting on this being a good season overall, but I'm not calling it a flop just yet.

[demonicallyslaying]

hehe

Long story short I couldn't wait for the poll to end and most people voted yes anyway so here my Fizzarozzie fanchild

Here's Fizz and Ozzie's mildly autistic blorbo

I don't have a name for her yet maybe like Fiona or sum shit idk

I might give her more of Asmodeus's features but not soon im tired

Compatibility dumping, casa announcement

NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island where {0} is being interrogated about who her favourite boy is!

NARRATOR: But how will {0} deal with this <i>cross</i>-examination?

Grace stands before you, hand on her hip, as she awaits your response.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: So, go on then, {0}.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: Which boy are you going to choose?

{0}_FLIRTY: Who said she has to pick a boy at all…

LITEXT: Islanders, get ready to gather around the Firepit for the results of tonight’s compatibility vote.

CHLOE_HAPPY: Saved by the bell, {0}.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: Not quite. She still has time to answer me.

Amelia runs up to you and locks her arm in yours.

AMELIA_HAPPY: No she doesn’t. I need to have a private word with her before we get to the Firepit.

GRACE_SERIOUS: Your private word can wait, Amelia. This is more important!

AMELIA_SERIOUS: It can’t wait actually. Genuine sister emergency.

AMELIA_HAPPY: We’ll be five minutes.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: Urgh, fine. I’ll find you afterwards then.

Grace shakes her head in frustration as you and Amelia walk off towards the dressing room, arm in arm.

AMELIA_HAPPY: And… breathe. That was intense!

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Tell me about it. What’s the sister emergency?

AMELIA_HAPPY: I should have tried harder to become an actor. I’m a natural.

AMELIA_HAPPY: There is no emergency, I just thought I’d get you out of there.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: My toes were curling just watching how awks it was.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Can’t imagine being in your shoes.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Should I have let you handle it or did I do the right thing getting you out of there?

I had it under control

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Maybe you’re just trying to help but I had it all under control.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I can look after myself, Amelia.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Sorry, {0}. If I’d have known I’d have left you to it.

AMELIA_IDLE: My twin-stinct must be a little off. Maybe it’s all the sun.

Glad you got me out of there

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Getting me out of there was absolutely the right call.

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: It was so awkward I couldn’t think.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Phew, I’m glad. Happy to see my twin-stinct is still in good working order.

AMELIA_HAPPY: At least now you have some space to make up your mind and process everything.

AMELIA_IDLE: I am kind of intrigued though...

AMELIA_IDLE: If I hadn't been all heroic and stepped in, which boy would you have chosen?

I’d have chosen Ozzy

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’d have chosen Ozzy.

AMELIA_SURPRISED: You’d have what…?

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Well, I’m low-key glad I stepped in then because that could have gotten...

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Interesting.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: How do you think she’d have reacted?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Don’t get me wrong, that argument they had last night sounded endgame.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: But she’s still into him the most out of anyone here.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: And something tells me that you swooping in before a compatibility vote...

AMELIA_IDLE: Probably wouldn’t have made her day.

I’d have chosen {0}

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’d have chosen {0}.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Aww, you and {0} are so cute.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Elliot may have tried, but nothing can get in the way of you two.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Especially not after Ryan’s adorable song earlier.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: That was such a cute gesture.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Not even the villa gardener when he realises Jamal picked all the flowers for you.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: That was such a cute gesture though.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Even after Roberto’s shocking dance display earlier.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I’m joking. It was such a cute gesture.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Especially not after that adorable speech Lewie gave you.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: It was such a cute gesture.

I’d have chosen Elliot

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’d have chosen Elliot.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Aww so Elliot has been streaming in your dreams after all. Thought so.

PLAYER_HAPPY: There’s something there for sure.

AMELIA_HAPPY: {0}, I’m so happy for you. Sounds like you’re getting good vibes early doors.

I don’t know

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I don’t know what I’d have told her. It’s still quite early to be making big decisions.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Agree with you 100%.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Something tells me she wouldn’t have taken that as an answer though.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Yeh, maybe not.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I’ll have your back if she pushes you for an answer later.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: If you aren’t ready to decide, that’s all there is to it.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Maybe leave me to it. I already said I can take care of myself.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Noted.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Grace clearly feels your decision could change her situation.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Do you think so?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Of course. You’re her only real competition at the minute.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Unless Chloe and Ozzy are secretly vibing.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: What you need is to step out to that Firepit looking absolutely stunning tonight.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Let her know it’s on and wow the socks off Ozzy whilst you do it.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Let her know it’s on and wow the socks off {0} whilst you do it.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Let her know it’s on and wow the socks off Elliot whilst you do it.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Let her know it’s on and wow the socks off everyone whilst you do it.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Let’s have a look in the wardrobe. See what we can find.

AMELIA_HAPPY: That outfit looks absolutely stunning.

AMELIA_FLIRTY: No wonder you’re the one everyone is after.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, Amelia!

PLAYER_IDLE: I think I’ll just wear what I have on now.

AMELIA_IDLE: I actually love this outfit on you...

PLAYER_SERIOUS: But?

AMELIA_HAPPY: I think this is a big chance to look fire and prove why you should be here.

AMELIA_HAPPY: You are front and centre with all the boys after all.

AMELIA_IDLE: So, do you want to have another look, {0}?

I’ll take another look

PLAYER_HAPPY: This is gorgeous. I am feeling myself in this.

AMELIA_HAPPY: It looks incredible!

AMELIA_HAPPY: You’re guaranteed to steal the night now.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think I’ll just go with what I have on now.

AMELIA_HAPPY: With or without a new outfit you still look hot. Always.

I’m good in this

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think I’ll just go with what I have on now.

AMELIA_HAPPY: With or without a new outfit you still look hot. Always.

PLAYER_IDLE: Well, if we’re both ready, let’s go and find the others.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Everyone’s really getting it all off their chest today, aren’t they?

PLAYER_SURPRISED: How do you mean?

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Well, {0} making his big romantic gesture towards you.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Grace confronting you.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: It’s got me thinking about something that’s been on my chest for a while.

PLAYER_HAPPY: You’re either about to complain about how tight your bra is again…

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Or tell me a long hidden secret.

Amelia shifts uncomfortably.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I know you said the past is in the past.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: And what happened between you and Zeph is kind of…

PLAYER_IDLE: Ancient history.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Exactly. So maybe this is all just a load of watery nonsense under the irrelevant bridge...

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Try me.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I know you were pretty shocked when Ivy revealed that stuff about Zeph.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Rightly so, if you ask me.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I told you I forgave you. It’s in the past.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I didn’t know how to feel about that at the time. It came out of nowhere.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Well, there’s a little more to that story than I initially let on…

AMELIA_SERIOUS: And with all this honesty going around in the villa, I think I should tell you.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I can’t go home knowing I didn’t tell you the full story.

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Amelia, you’re being really mysterious. What is it?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: The summer before uni. When you and Zeph were getting closer.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Well, he came to visit me at work because he thought you might be there.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: And you’d just left so he said we should go for drinks together.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: We hadn't really spoken much after I introduced him to you.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: He said it was a good opportunity for us to get to know each other.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: It started really chill and friendly. Nothing to report.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: As the night went on and the place got a little more quiet…

AMELIA_SERIOUS: He was giving me this vibe.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: What kind of vibe?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Looking into my eyes for a few seconds longer than ‘just a friend’ would...

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Slowly, it started feeling more and more intimate. We were getting closer.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: And then that was when he told me the thing you know about.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: The thing everyone knows about, thanks to Ivy.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: That he was into you and not me?

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Yeah…

AMELIA_SERIOUS: But the thing you <i>don’t</i> know about is…

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Me and Zeph kissed.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: You kissed?

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I should have told you this the night it happened.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I was just so embarrassed and worried about how hurt you’d be.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I wanted to tell you! And I’ve tried before, but it’s just so difficult.

I’m fuming!

PLAYER_ANGRY: Was this supposed to be some cute sisterly moment where you bare all, we hug and make up?

PLAYER_ANGRY: Because it’s not gonna be like that!

PLAYER_ANGRY: I’m so hurt by this, Amelia. Not only the fact you kissed Zeph…

PLAYER_ANGRY: But the fact you never told me!

AMELIA_SAD: I’m annoyed at myself. I wish more than anything I could take it back.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Well now him ghosting me makes sense.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Well now me and him growing apart makes sense.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Well now my suspicions about him being into someone else make sense.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: It was because he’d kissed my sister and you kept it a secret.

AMELIA_SAD: {0}, I’m so sorry. I regret it so so much and I wish it didn’t happen.

It’s not a big deal, chill

PLAYER_IDLE: You’re talking about Zeph like he still matters. Old news.

PLAYER_IDLE: Seriously, everyone seems to think I’m more attached to him than I actually am.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Phew! I was so worried this would hurt you.

PLAYER_HAPPY: It would take something a lot bigger than Zeph to hurt me, Amelia.

I wish you’d told me earlier

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Honestly, it is what it is. I don’t hate you for kissing him.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: The fact you’ve waited until now to tell me about it though… that’s not your best move.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I know. I wanted to tell you the night it happened but things got in the way.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I was scared it would ruin everything we had.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: And then I moved away and it never felt like a good time to tell you.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I’ve tried to tell you once or twice in here but there’s always been some drama happening.

AMELIA_SAD: It never felt like the right time. I’m so sorry, {0}.

AMELIA_SAD: Is there anything else you want to ask me about that night?

Was it <i>just</i> a kiss?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Was it just a kiss?

AMELIA_SAD: Yes! It was just a kiss. I promise.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not sure how much your promises mean to me anymore. But go on.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: It lasted a few seconds and then we both pulled away.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: I don’t know what I expected but… it felt wrong.

AMELIA_SAD: We both knew. He left a few minutes later and that was it.

AMELIA_SAD: I don’t think I ever actually saw him again after that.

AMELIA_SAD: Except for on TV when his second album dropped.

Who initiated the kiss?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Who initiated the kiss?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I know it’s not the answer you want to hear but it was both of us.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I remember us both looking at each other, and it was like we were lost together.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Everything was quiet and I forgot where I was and who he was.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: We both leant in and kissed.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: As soon as we pulled away, I knew we both regretted it.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: He left a few minutes later and that was it.

AMELIA_SAD: I don’t think I ever actually saw him again after that.

AMELIA_SAD: Except for on TV when his second album dropped.

Did you both agree to not tell me?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Did you both agree not to tell me?

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Never verbally, no. I think we both just knew it was wrong.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: He left a few minutes after the kiss, before we could speak about what to do.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: I was worried to tell you right away, and then I thought maybe you didn’t ever need to know.

AMELIA_SAD: But now I see how selfish that was.

AMELIA_SAD: I don’t think I ever actually saw him again after the kiss.

AMELIA_SAD: Except for on TV when his second album dropped.

Have you spoken to him since?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Have you spoken to him since the kiss?

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: No. Honestly not.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’m not sure how much your honesty means to me. But go on.

AMELIA_SAD: The kiss was really short and I immediately just felt guilty.

AMELIA_SAD: He left not long after and then I never saw him again.

AMELIA_SAD: Except for on TV when his second album dropped.

I’m over it

PLAYER_IDLE: I don’t need to know anything else, Amelia.

PLAYER_IDLE: The whole Zeph thing is behind me.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Whatever happened, I’m sure you regret it.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: So let’s drop it and focus on having a good time in the villa.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Living with you again has just reinforced how much I need you in my life.

AMELIA_IDLE: I thought telling you about Zeph would help give you some closure.

AMELIA_IDLE: But I guess it was me that needed the closure.

Amelia pulls you into a tight and loving hug.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I love you, {0}.

PLAYER_IDLE: The whole Zeph thing is in the past.

PLAYER_IDLE: I wish you hadn’t done it and I wish you’d told me earlier.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: And that’s all there is to it. The other details don’t matter.

AMELIA_SAD: You’re right. The fact is: I let you down and should have told you sooner.

Suddenly, {0} bursts into the room.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Oh, I’m sorry. Am I intruding?

PLAYER_IDLE: What is it, {0}?

{0}_IDLE: Everyone's at the Firepit. It’s time for the dumping.

Amelia looks at you, a pensive look in her eyes.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: We’ll finish this later, {0}.

All the Islanders have gathered around the Firepit as you take your place next to Elliot.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Have to say I’m a little bit nervous.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: You look gorgeous though, {0}.

{0}_FLIRTY: You’ll get used to that.

Ozzy and Grace are standing a distance apart, back to back.

OZZY_EMBARRASSED: Can’t say any of us are looking like we’re about to settle down any time soon.

GRACE_SERIOUS: Never mind settling down. You can’t even decide who to settle <i>on</i>.

Grace steers some frosty side eye in your direction.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: No couple is truly safe.

{0} and {1} both glance at you.

Suddenly, your phone pings. You read the text out.

LITEXT: Islanders, tonight's compatibility vote will not be decided by the public. It will be decided by your fellow Islanders.

LITEXT: Please split up into your couples and make your decision. {0}MinusTwo {1}ToughCall

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: We have to decide which couple is the least compatible?

{0}_SURPRISED: Yikes.

{0}_SAD: That’s not gonna be easy.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: We’ve all still got a long way to go in here.

{0}_SERIOUS: Like Ozzy said, none of us are about to settle down.

{0} looks at you with a nervous smile.

{0}_SERIOUS: Suppose we just have to go off potential for romance in the villa.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: How about we discuss this with our own partners?

{0}_SURPRISED: This ain’t one of your videogames. ‘Game Over’ means bye bye villa.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Thanks for the reminder.

{0}_SERIOUS: Come on, {1}. Let’s go and make our decision.

You and Elliot separate from the others to decide who to vote for.

PLAYER_IDLE: Are you ready to get to it then, Elliot?

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I’m not sure.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I don’t know anyone well enough to decide whether they stay or not.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: I’ve committed all my time trying to get to know you.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: I’ve barely spoken to anyone else.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: You must have some opinions on who’s working and who isn’t?

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Well, Ozzy and Grace have undeniable potential.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Although they’re one of those couples that wind each other up.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: They’re already bickering.

ELLIOT_IDLE: But it seems like something keeps bringing them back together.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Although, I think she likes him more than he likes her.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Which is causing a bit of drama.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Tell me about it!

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But, that’s not always a bad thing.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’ve been telling Grace she should be worried about Ozzy for days.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Hmmm, interesting.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Then there’s Amelia and {0}, who are really cute together.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I sense this nervousness when they’re around each other.

ELLIOT_IDLE: They’re still figuring each other out but they could work for sure.

PLAYER_HAPPY: You told me you didn’t know anyone well enough.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Looks like you’ve been taking lecture notes.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I’m a little bit of a nerd. Guilty.

PLAYER_IDLE: What about {0} and {1}. What notes do you have on them?

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I love {0}. She’s hilarious.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: And {0} is a top guy. Really kind from the moment I walked in.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: They’ve been coupled up since the start and I sense both are scared to commit.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But if they put their heads down together, I think they could be great.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Although I think you might’ve caught her eye more than {0}.

PLAYER_IDLE: We did spend that night in the Hideaway together.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: It’s super early for them but it could work for sure.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Plus me and Chloe are newbie buddies.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Would be nice if she could have a proper chance to find someone.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But I guess I’m holding off on who I think is the least compatible.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Well, go on then.

ELLIOT_SAD: It has to be {0} and {1} for me.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: They just seem on totally different planets.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Maybe in different circumstances they could have something.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But you can’t say Ryan is giving it his all.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Especially when he’s out here singing love songs to you.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But you can’t say Jamal is giving it his all.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Especially when he’s out here picking flowers for you.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But you can’t say Roberto is giving it his all.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Especially when he’s out here busting dance moves for you.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But you can’t say Lewie is giving it his all.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Especially when he’s making speeches for you.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: In front of everyone, too. Just saying.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: They’re my initial observations anyway.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Do you think I’ve been paying close enough attention?

You’re a good judge of character

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Detective Inspector Elliot over here. Nothing gets past you.

PLAYER_IDLE: Seems like you’re a really good judge of character.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: That’s why picking you was such an obvious choice.

You’re on the right lines

PLAYER_SERIOUS: You aren’t too far off the mark, Elliot.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Not a bad effort at all.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Sounds like you might have a slightly different take though...

PLAYER_HAPPY: Maybe I do.

Have you had your eyes closed this whole time?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Have you had your eyes closed this whole time, Elliot?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: You’re way off the mark with most people there.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Oh, really?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Absolutely. It’s like you’ve been in a different villa.

Are you trying to get {0} dumped?

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Do you just want to see {0} go home?

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: Why would you think that?

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Maybe his big gesture earlier got you rattled?

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Ok, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me.

ELLIOT_SAD: Especially since you seemed to like it.

PLAYER_IDLE: Can you blame me?

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: No, of course not.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: But I’m just going with who I think is least compatible.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Well, that’s what I think anyway.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: You’ve been here so much longer than me and know everyone better.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: This should really be your decision.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Who do you think we should vote for?

ORIGINAL LI and BELLA/CHLOE

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I agree with you that {0} and {1} are the weakest couple.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: In terms of compatibility, at least. They’d get my vote.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Makes it easier that we have the same opinion on it.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Well, if we’re in agreement, we shouldn’t waste anymore time.

{0} and Amelia

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think we should vote for {0} and Amelia.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: You’re sure? Amelia?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: That’s what my gut is telling me.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: I didn’t expect you to say Amelia, but you know her better than anyone.

ELLIOT_IDLE: If you think her and {0} deserve to go, I’m with you.

ELLIOT_IDLE: This can’t be an easy decision, let’s get it over with.

NON-LI and BELLA/CHLOE

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think that {0} and {1} are the weakest couple.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: They’d get my vote.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I feel a little bad because Chloe hasn’t had a proper chance to find someone.

ELLIOT_IDLE: And we came in together...

ELLIOT_IDLE: But {0} didn’t seem to put much effort in with Bella.

ELLIOT_IDLE: And I’m getting the same vibe with him and Chloe.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I feel a little bad because Bella seems like one of the nicest girls here.

ELLIOT_IDLE: You know her a lot better than me.

ELLIOT_IDLE: But I can’t say I’m sensing loads of chemistry between her and {0}.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: They’ve maybe just relegated each other to the friendzone.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I’m happy to vote for them if that’s your choice.

Grace and Ozzy

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I think we should vote for Grace and Ozzy.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: That’s an interesting take.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Between you and me, I don’t think Ozzy is completely committed to Grace.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Something tells me he’s playing a waiting game.

PLAYER_IDLE: You didn’t mention that earlier.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: I wasn’t sure if it was only me who thought it.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: They defo give off strong couple energy, but there’s more than a few cracks appearing.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: If that’s who you want to vote for, I’m happy to back you up.

You look around at the other couples scattered around the garden as they discuss the vote for in hushed tones.

Suddenly, you get a text.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: I’ve got a text!

LITEXT: Islanders, the couple that has received the most votes from their fellow Islanders is about to be dumped from the villa.

LITEXT: Please gather around the Firepit immediately. {0}ThrillerInTheVilla {1}StandardEconomy

ELLIOT_SAD: I hope we made the right call...

Elliot looks at you one last time before you make your way back to the Firepit together.

There’s a nervous energy around the Firepit.

{0} and {1} hold hands, neither looks confident.

{0} and {1} both glance shyly at you.

Grace and Ozzy line up next to each other, a few steps apart.

Amelia gives you a hopeful look as her and {0} take their positions.

A phone pings!

OZZY_SURPRISED: I’ve got a text!

He reads it out.

LITEXT: The votes are in. In no particular order, the first couple safe is...

LITEXT: Amelia and {0}.

{0} sweeps Amelia off her feet with a big hug.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Can’t get rid of us that easily!

BELLA_HAPPY: Yay! Congrats you two!

Elliot whispers in your ear.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Guess no one else agreed with us on them then.

LITEXT: The next couple safe is…

Amelia turns to you guiltily.

AMELIA_EMBARRASSED: Good luck, {0}.

LITEXT: Ozzy and Grace.

Grace turns to Ozzy and gives him a sultry peck on the cheek before sitting down.

GRACE_IDLE: I guess some people think we’ve got something together.

Ozzy continues to read out the results.

LITEXT: The next couple safe is…

Bella looks to you, a slight grimace on her face. She mouths ‘good luck’

LITEXT: {0} and {1}.

{0} gives a relieved looking {1} a comforting hug.

{0}_HAPPY: We’re through!

{0} gives a concerned glance in your direction as he hugs {1}.

{0}_FLIRTY: Live to love another day.

{0} gives you a comforting smile.

You whisper in Elliot’s ear.

PLAYER_IDLE: Looks like you were the only one who thought they were the weakest couple.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I told you I didn’t know everyone in here that well.

PLAYER_IDLE: Looks like we were the only ones who thought they were weakest.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Well, best of luck to them.

{0} and {1} take a seat.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Looks like it’s just two couples left.

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Looks like it!

Ozzy reads out the final result.

LITEXT: The final couple safe is…

{0}_IDLE: Good luck, guys!

Good luck!

PLAYER_HAPPY: Aww best of luck, guys!

PLAYER_IDLE: I wish it didn’t have to be like this!

{0}_HAPPY: Thanks, {1}.

May the best couple win

PLAYER_FLIRTY: May the best couple win, I guess.

{0}_IDLE: Well put.

Don’t worry… I’ll help you pack your bags

PLAYER_IDLE: Aww don’t worry, guys…

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’ll help you pack your bags afterwards.

{0}_SURPRISED: Woah, so it’s like that then, is it?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Hope you get a window seat.

LITEXT: {0} and Elliot.

{0} gasps and {1} drops his head in disappointment.

Elliot turns to you with a grin.

Give Elliot a big hug

You leap into Elliot’s arms and give him a big hug.

PLAYER_HAPPY: We made it!

AMELIA_HAPPY: Aww cute.

Console {0} and {1}

You immediately head to {0} and {1} and give them a farewell hug.

PLAYER_SAD: So sorry, guys.

{0}_SAD: Aww it’s alright, babe. You and Elliot deserve to stay.

*Celebrate outrageously!

You take a moment to decide how to react…

Give Elliot an OTT snog for everyone to see!

You take Elliot’s head in your hands and kiss him in the most OTT way possible.

His lips press against your own as you spin around and shift your body close to his.

You feel his tongue against your own as the others watch on in awe.

When you pull away, you notice his glasses have steamed up and his cheeks are bright red.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: Guess you’re happy to be staying?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Something like that.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: How cute.

Do a victory dance

You jump up and down flailing your arms and twisting your hips this way and that.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Yayyy!

You run up to Elliot and jump onto his back, pretending he’s a bull as you cast an imaginary lasso around at the Islanders.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Classy.

OZZY_HAPPY: She’s just having fun with it.

When you’re done you jump back to where you were, straighten yourself out and pretend nothing ever happened.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Is everyone alright? Did I miss something?

{0}_FLIRTY: Love it.

The other Islanders stand to say farewell to {0} and {1}.

{0}_HAPPY: I can’t be too sad, had a good run in here.

OZZY_HAPPY: It’s been a pleasure, pal.

{0}_HAPPY: We’ll miss you, bro. Boys hug?

OZZY_HAPPY: Of course. The only silver lining of a dumping.

All the guys gather round into a huge group hug.

{0}_HAPPY: Ahh, Roberto. I’ll miss the way you smell.

ROBERTO_HAPPY: Benefits of a lifetime going through duty free.

{0}_HAPPY: I’ll invest on my journey home.

GRACE_SAD: Aww, Bells, we’ll miss you so much.

GRACE_SAD: Day one hottie.

CHLOE_SAD: You deserved to stay and find your dreamboat.

GRACE_SAD: Aww, Chloe, wish we could have had longer with you.

BELLA_SAD: Yeah, you deserved to stay longer and find your dreamboat.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Well, I didn’t find my dreamboat but I’ve defo made loads of friends.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: I’m beginning to think the same thing.

Grace rolls her eyes in your direction.

GRACE_SERIOUS: <i>Some</i> friends.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I was just being honest.

{0}_SAD: Enough of that. Let’s go help her pack, girls!

As the girls head off towards the bedroom, Elliot peels off from the boys.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Hey, was wondering if we could go for a quick chat?

PLAYER_SURPRISED: What about?

ELLIOT_IDLE: Just see where we’re both at? Feel like the last few hours have been so full on.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: We’ve barely had a chance to just catch up.

PLAYER_IDLE: Sure thing.

Elliot leads you over to the swing seat as the others head inside to help {0} and {1} pack.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I’m relieved we both made it through.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Felt way too early in our journey together to be dumped.

PLAYER_IDLE: I supposed the others must have thought we deserved it.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Did you think they’d vote us out?

I was confident we’d stay

PLAYER_HAPPY: I was pretty confident we’d be fine, Elliot.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: That’s reassuring to hear.

PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s obviously early days for us but the others must see something.

I thought we’d be going home

PLAYER_SAD: I’ll be honest with you. I was pretty certain it'd be us packing our bags.

ELLIOT_SAD: Oh, that’s sad. I had a bit more faith in us than that.

PLAYER_IDLE: Well, we’re here because the others thought we deserved to stay.

I had no expectations

PLAYER_SAD: I had no idea what was going to happen.

PLAYER_IDLE: I left my expectations on the first step of the Firepit.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Thought you’d maybe have had a bit more faith in us.

PLAYER_IDLE: Well what matters is that the others had faith in us.

PLAYER_IDLE: They thought we should stay, and here we are.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I guess one of the reasons I brought you here is because…

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I don’t care what the others think.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I only care what you think.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: And ever since we first coupled up...

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: When you said you were unsure about whether I should have picked you.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I’m just not certain where your head’s at.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: You’ve been thrown into all this drama with Grace, Ozzy and {0}.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: And I’m starting to feel a little unsure about where I fit into it all.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I’m not the kind of guy to get stuck into that sort of stuff.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: So, I have to ask. Where is your head at, {0}?

I’m 100% committed to you

PLAYER_FLIRTY: You really want to know?

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Of course I do.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: My head is 100% with you.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I think we have something well worth exploring!

PLAYER_FLIRTY: And I’m looking forward to getting to know you even better.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Well, that’s great to hear.

A grin flashes across Elliot’s face.

I don’t know what I want right now

PLAYER_IDLE: Well, it’s still early days for me and you, Elliot.

PLAYER_IDLE: And honestly, I’m just a little unsure about what I want right now.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: That’s totally fine. I’m not trying to get an answer this second.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I appreciate all this drama you’re caught up in.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Must be a bit of a head scrambler.

My head is with someone else

PLAYER_SERIOUS: My head is totally with someone else.

Elliot looks to the floor before composing himself.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: I am gutted because I really felt something between us.

ELLIOT_IDLE: And the other Islanders must have sensed we have potential, too.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Can’t change the way I feel.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: Exactly, and I wouldn’t try to change your mind.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: My mind does just keep racing back to that first night we coupled together.

ELLIOT_SAD: When you shared a bed with {0}.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Maybe that hurt a little bit more than I initially let on.

ELLIOT_SAD: There was all this talk that you’d jump into {0}’s bed instead of mine.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: But I didn’t?

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: I know, I know. It just put me on edge.

ELLIOT_SAD: When you shared a bed with {0}.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Maybe that hurt a little bit more than I initially let on.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: Then the next morning I was thinking ‘fresh start’.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I walk out and {0} is making a huge romantic gesture for everyone to see.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I’d only learnt your name a few hours earlier!

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I can’t compete with Romeo right out the gate.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I was totally embarrassed by that gesture.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I think we all were.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Obviously you didn’t ask him to do that.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I was speechless myself.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I think we all were.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Obviously you didn’t ask him to do that.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Don’t blame {0} for his silky smooth moves.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I’d never blame a guy for turning up the rizz.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But somewhere along the way I guess I’ve just begun to question my place.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: I just told you my head is with you.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: And I believe you…

ELLIOT_IDLE: But I also want to give you a bit of time to process all of this.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: And if you still feel like you’re 100% with me even after you’ve thought about everything.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Then we can reset and start fresh. Just me and you.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I’m not going anywhere. I know where my head is at.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But somewhere along the way I guess I’ve just begun to question my place.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: I mean, you just said you’re unsure where your head is at too.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I just don’t know what to think right now.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I want to give you a bit of time to process all of this.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: And if you decide your head’s with me after you’ve thought about everything.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Then we can reset and start fresh. Just me and you.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: I’m not going anywhere. I know where my head is at.

ELLIOT_EMBARRASSED: But I guess somewhere along the way your head has been turned.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Guilty.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: But I’m being genuine when I say I want to give you a bit of time.

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: Maybe you feel like you’ve blindsided me and not given me a fair chance?

ELLIOT_IDLE: Or maybe you straight up know we just wouldn’t work together.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: Have a think for a day or two and come back to me.

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: Maybe, you’ll change your mind about us.

AMELIA_OUTSCREEN LEFT: {0}! Elliot!

AMELIA_OUTSCREEN LEFT: {0} and {1} are leaving. Come and say bye!

ELLIOT_SERIOUS: We better get going.

ELLIOT_IDLE: But just have a little think about what I’ve said.

You and Elliot make your way to the others.

All the Islanders have gathered around {0} and {1} for their final send off.

{0}_SAD: I didn’t wanna get emotional, but then when I was packing my bag...

GRACE_SAD: He started choking up.

{0}_SAD: I’ve just had such a great time here. That’s all.

JAMAL_IDLE: You’d all get on with my skate buddies back home.

LEWIE_IDLE: You’d all get on so well with my footy mates back home.

{0}_HAPPY: You’ll all have to come meet them some time. Big night out together.

GRACE_HAPPY: I’ll be there. Are any of them cute?

Ozzy rolls his eyes at Grace.

{0}_HAPPY: Well, I’ve had an invite just for me.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Aww, no way, you’re gonna meet up back home?

AMELIA_FLIRTY: Is that a one way ticket or a return?

{0}_HAPPY: A return ticket.

{0}_HAPPY: For now.

{0}_FLIRTY: Think we’ll both continue as friends and see where we end up.

I think romance is on the cards

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Well, I for one think there could be some romance on the cards.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: You’ll be buying a one way ticket in no time.

{0}_HAPPY: I know we’ve taken it pretty steady in here.

{0}_HAPPY: I know we’ve not known each other that long.

{0}_HAPPY: But that initial friendship is absolutely there.

{0}_HAPPY: Yeah, we get on well, for sure.

ELLIOT_HAPPY: No better place to start than as friends.

{0}_HAPPY: Sounds like something my mum would say.

That ain’t gonna work out

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I won’t hold my breath. Unsure if that’s going to work out.

{0}_SURPRISED: Really?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Just saying it as I see it.

{0}_SURPRISED: Well, I think we’re defo starting out in a good place, right?

{0}_EMBARRASSED: We get along for sure.

Whatever happens, at least you’re friends

PLAYER_HAPPY: Romance or not, at least you’re leaving as friends.

{0}_HAPPY: Friends with potential.

{0}_HAPPY: But friends first.

You notice {0} looking at you nervously.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Can I just pull for a chat?

PLAYER_IDLE: Of course!

You and {0} peel off to the side of the room as the others reminisce over {1}’s villa journey.

{0}_HAPPY: Promise I’ll be out of the way in a few secs.

PLAYER_IDLE: No worries. What’s on your mind?

{0}_IDLE: I know we’ve been in this together since day one.

{0}_IDLE: I know we’ve not had loads of time together.

{0}_IDLE: But I really wish I could have gotten to know you some more.

{0}_HAPPY: I just have this hunch that you’ll go all the way to the final.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Really?

{0}_HAPPY: Of course. Everyone here thinks you’re great.

{0}_HAPPY: You’re fun and flirty and a little bit sassy when you want to be.

{0}_HAPPY: You’re fun and flirty and always so honest.

{0}_HAPPY: So, I just wanted to wish you all the best in here.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: And say, I wish we could have been closer. But anyway, I better get going.

You return to the others as {0} takes {1}’s bags in his hands.

{0}_HAPPY: Right. Enough goodbyes. Let’s head out.

{0}_HAPPY: Bye, everyone! Hopefully see you all soon.

GRACE_SAD: Bye! Already missing you both.

You wave {0} and {1} out before closing the door.

GRACE_SAD: It’s gonna be quiet in here without them two.

ROBERTO_IDLE: I hope for the pilot’s sake they don’t join the mile high club on the way back.

ROBERTO_EMBARRASSED: There’s a lot of paperwork you have to fill in.

{0}_HAPPY: Still, wouldn’t stop me.

{0}_IDLE: That’s quite enough drama for one night… Let’s head to the garden, guys.

The mood is quiet as you all head out into the garden.

AMELIA_SAD: I’m really gonna miss {0} you know.

AMELIA_HAPPY: I think he was a really genuine guy.

GRACE_SAD: {0} was so genuine too. Lovely people.

{0}_HAPPY: Remember when {1} rode on that bull for the challenge?

PLAYER_HAPPY: He fell off after about four seconds.

ROBERTO_HAPPY: He kept blaming me. Saying I’d left moisturiser on the bull.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Bella smashed that bull riding challenge.

AMELIA_HAPPY: She was so up for it.

ROBERTO_SAD: Will you miss them, {0}?

I’ll miss them both

PLAYER_SAD: Of course I’ll miss them.

PLAYER_SAD: It’s gonna be a completely different energy in here without them.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Yeah, agreed.

I’m just relieved that I’m still here

PLAYER_SAD: I’m just relieved I’m still here to be honest.

PLAYER_SAD: Feel like I’ve got a lot more to offer the villa.

ELLIOT_IDLE: Looking forward to it.

{0}_IDLE: Looking forward to it.

OZZY_HAPPY: Makes two of us.

{0} and {1} who?

PLAYER_IDLE: {0} and {1} who?

PLAYER_HAPPY: I think I’ll get over them leaving.

GRACE_SAD: That’s cold, {0}.

GRACE_SERIOUS: {0} is just happy she’s still around to cause more drama.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Excuse me?

GRACE_SERIOUS: You heard me.

A sultry Grace turns her back on you and walks over to the swing seat, Ozzy reluctantly follows her.

{0}_SERIOUS: I wouldn’t follow her if I was you, I think she’s looking for trouble.

{0}_SERIOUS: Stirring the pot a little. She’s angry with Ozzy, not you.

PLAYER_IDLE: Something like that.

GRACE_SERIOUS: Well, I guess Ozzy’s still around to cause drama with his moves.

OZZY_EMBARRASSED: Let’s leave it, Grace?

GRACE_SERIOUS: Fine!

A sultry Grace turns her back on him and paces to the swing seat. Ozzy reluctantly follows her.

{0}_IDLE: {1}, thought I’d just check in on you, see how you are.

{0}_SERIOUS: You’re kind of in the middle of everything right now.

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I guess I am a little bit.

{0}_SERIOUS: All the stuff with Ozzy and Grace.

{0}_SERIOUS: Then Elliot coupling with you.

{0}_IDLE: Also sensing something unresolved between you and Amelia.

{0}_IDLE: But I don’t want to pry too much.

{0}_IDLE: And then you’ve also basically got all the boys making plays for you.

{0}_HAPPY: If it was me, I’d be needing a lie down.

PLAYER_HAPPY: When you say it like that, I do sound busy, don't I?

{0}_HAPPY: Very busy!

{0}_HAPPY: So, how are you feeling about everything?

I know what I want

PLAYER_HAPPY: Despite everything that’s going on, I’m feeling fine.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I know what I want. That’s for sure.

{0}_IDLE: Knowing what you want in here is half the work.

I’m unsure about everything

PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I don’t know how I feel about everything right now.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: There’s so much going on it’s hard to stay on top of.

{0}_IDLE: I thought you seemed a little unsure about everything.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Well, this is probably going to seem like terrible timing now…

{0}_EMBARRASSED: But I thought I should get it off my chest.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: I don’t want an answer from you. I just want you to hear me out.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: What is it?

{0}_IDLE: When I was watching Elliot and {1} compete over you earlier.

{0}_IDLE: All those romantic gestures to win your heart...

{0}_IDLE: I wanted to throw my hat in the ring there, too.

PLAYER_IDLE: That would have really filled my plate up.

{0}_FLIRTY: Exactly. I decided it was probably the wrong time.

{0}_HAPPY: Didn’t want to get in the way of all that testosterone flying around.

{0}_IDLE: But I wanted to grab you the first chance I had, to let you know.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: You seem to already know what you want so maybe I’m too late.

{0}_EMBARRASSED: Or maybe you feel the same…

{0}_EMBARRASSED: You said you’re feeling a little unsure about everything…

{0}_HAPPY: So I hope I’ve not added too much more fuel to the fire.

{0}_SURPRISED: Hang on. What’s happening over there?

{0} nods in the direction of Ozzy, Elliot and {1} having a heated private discussion.

{0}_SERIOUS: Looks like an intense one.

{0}_SURPRISED: What do you think they’re talking about?

They’ll be talking about me

PLAYER_IDLE: They’ll probably be talking about me.

{0}_SURPRISED: Ohhh, you think so?

PLAYER_IDLE: It wouldn’t surprise me.

{0}_IDLE: Shall we go listen in or break it up?

Listen in

PLAYER_HAPPY: Let’s go and listen in. Maybe we can catch some goss!

{0}_HAPPY: Exciting! Let’s go.

You and {0} scurry over to the boys, trying your best to remain unseen.

But, before you can listen in…

Break it up

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Let’s go break it up.

{0}_ANGRY: Agreed. Don’t want people talking about you behind your back.

You and {0} march over to the boys, ready to break up their private chat.

But, before you get there…

Leave them to it

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Let’s just leave them to it.

PLAYER_IDLE: If they wanted me there, they’d call me over

{0}_ANGRY: Agreed. Don’t want to cause more trouble tonight.

I have no idea

PLAYER_IDLE: I have no idea what they’re talking about.

{0}_IDLE: Well, I guess they’d have called us over if we were involved.

{0}_IDLE: Also it looks quite heated. Not the kind of drama I want to get involved in right now.

You hear a phone ping!

AMELIA_SURPRISED: I’ve got a text!

GRACE_SURPRISED: Another one?

Amelia reads it out.

LITEXT: Islanders, the public have been voting for their favourite girl. The girl with the fewest votes will be dumped from the villa.

LITEXT: Please gather around the Firepit immediately. {0}OneMoreToGo {1}ThreeIsCompany

PLAYER_SURPRISED: Another dumping? Right now?!

{0}_SURPRISED: Whaaaat?! Three people in one night?

GRACE_SURPRISED: This is intense!

AMELIA_SURPRISED: I can’t believe this.

Ozzy, {0} and Elliot turn and notice you and {1} have been watching their interaction.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: What’s going on?

GRACE_SERIOUS: You guys, come on. Firepit, now!

You and the others reluctantly head over to the Firepit for another dumping.

The mood is silent and tense as you all sit around the Firepit.

{0}_SERIOUS: I can’t believe another girl is being dumped so soon after {1} and {2}?

OZZY_SERIOUS: We need a breather. This is so hectic.

GRACE_EMBARRASSED: Major shake up.

Grace looks between Ozzy and you. A look of worry on her face.

GRACE_SAD: All of us are in couples right now.

GRACE_SAD: Whoever gets dumped will leave their partner single.

A phone pings.

OZZY_SURPRISED: I’ve got a text!

Ozzy reads it out.

LITEXT: Amelia, Grace, {0} and {1}, please stand up.

You and the other girls stand, a tense nervousness in the air.

AMELIA_IDLE: Good luck, girls.

LITEXT: In no particular order, the first girl safe is…

LITEXT: {0}.

{0} breathes a sigh of relief as she gives {1} a hug and sits down.

Ozzy continues to read out the text.

LITEXT: The next girl safe is…

You notice {0} crossing his fingers, looking at you with worry in his eyes.

LITEXT: Amelia.

Amelia and {0} give each other a kiss before sitting down together.

GRACE_SAD: Looks like it’s either you or me, {0}.

Ozzy continues to read the text.

LITEXT: Grace and {0}... The Islander who will be leaving the villa tonight is…

LITEXT: {0}.

Everyone gasps as your name is read out.

AMELIA_SAD: This can’t be real!

{0}_SURPRISED: No way.

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: There must have been a mistake.

Your phone pings. You read it out, still reeling.

LITEXT: {0}, your time in the villa has come to an end. Your bags have been packed and are waiting by the entrance. Please say your goodbyes and leave the villa.

PLAYER_SURPRISED: I can’t believe this is it!

ELLIOT_SAD: {0} is actually leaving?

*Give Elliot a farewell snog

You strut towards Elliot, biting your lip.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Well if I’m leaving, I’m not leaving without a kiss.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: What do you say, Elliot?

ELLIOT_FLIRTY: I say, yes please!

You take Elliot’s head in your hands and begin a whirlwind snog.

You feel his warm lips against your own as you run your fingers through his hair.

The other Islanders begin cheering and wooing as you and Elliot enclose into a tight and intimate hug before finally separating.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Something to remember me by.

Elliot looks at you with doughy eyes.

Amelia runs up to you and gives you a huge hug.

*Give {0} a farewell snog

You strut towards {0}, biting your lip.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Well if I’m leaving, I’m not leaving without a kiss.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: What do you say, {0}?

{0}_FLIRTY: I’d love to! Obviously!

You take {0}’s head in your hands and begin a whirlwind snog.

You feel his warm lips against your own as you run your fingers through his hair.

The other Islanders cheer as you and {0} enclose into a tight and intimate hug before finally separating.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Something to remember me by.

As {0} gives you a sizzling grin, Elliot looks on dissapointed.

Amelia runs up to you and gives you a huge hug.

*Snog Ozzy infront of Grace

You strut towards Ozzy, biting your lip.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Well if I’m leaving, I’m not leaving without a kiss.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: What do you say, Ozzy?

OZZY_FLIRTY: How can I say no?

You take Ozzy’s head in your hands and begin a whirlwind snog.

You feel his warm lips against your own as you run your fingers through his hair.

You and Ozzy enclose into a tight and intimate hug before finally separating.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Something to remember me by.

You see Ozzy taking heavy breaths as he looks at you in awe.

GRACE_ANGRY: Ozzy, what the actual?

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Little farewell kiss.

GRACE_SERIOUS: It was literally a snog. I was standing here.

GRACE_ANGRY: You couldn’t help yourself could you, {0}?

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Didn’t see him pulling back, hun.

As Grace glares at you, Elliot looks on with a dissapointed gaze.

Amelia cuts the tension by giving you a huge hug.

Blame it on Grace

PLAYER_SERIOUS: This is your fault, Grace.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: You’ve done nothing but cause drama and make me look bad.

GRACE_SERIOUS: I’ve just been minding my own business.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Sorry, did I say I was finished?

PLAYER_ANGRY: You’ve barely looked twice at Ozzy these past few days.

PLAYER_ANGRY: All your energy has been put into stirring drama for me.

PLAYER_ANGRY: Like asking me to pick a boy earlier today. Who does that? Ridiculous.

Amelia cuts the tension by running up to you giving you a huge hug.

Scream with joy!

You jump up and scream out with joy.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Yayyy! I’m outta here!

ELLIOT_SURPRISED: You’re happy?

PLAYER_HAPPY: Of course!

PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ve had a great time in here but I guess my time is up.

PLAYER_HAPPY: No point being bitter about it.

Amelia runs up to you and gives you a huge hug.

Play it cool

PLAYER_IDLE: It is what it is.

{0}_SURPRISED: I didn’t expect you to be so chilled about it.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Jumping around and getting upset isn’t gonna change anything.

PLAYER_IDLE: It’s been a good ride.

Amelia runs up to you and gives you a huge hug.

*Give {0} a farewell snog

You strut towards {0}, biting your lip.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Well if I’m leaving, I’m not leaving without a kiss.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: What do you say, {0}?

{0}_FLIRTY: Yes! Let’s do it!

You take {0}’s head in your hands and begin a whirlwind snog.

You feel her soft lips against your own as you run your fingers through her hair.

The other Islanders cheer as you and {0} enclose into a tight and intimate hug before finally separating.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Something to remember me by.

As {0} gives you a sizzling grin, Elliot looks on dissapointed.

Amelia runs up to you and gives you a huge hug.

AMELIA_SAD: This can’t be real.

AMELIA_SAD: It should be me, not you.

The other Islanders walk over and begin a giant group hug.

{0}_SAD: This place is gonna feel empty without you, {1}.

As the group huddle ends you notice Grace wiping tears from her eyes.

GRACE_SAD: I think there’s some truth to what you just said…

PLAYER_SERIOUS: You can say that again.

GRACE_SAD: Kissing Ozzy was a slap in the face.

GRACE_SAD: I don’t think I’ve been the easiest person to get on with recently.

GRACE_SAD: I got my back up because of you and Oz.

GRACE_SAD: I feel terrible. Especially today, trying to get you to pick a guy.

GRACE_SAD: I went too far.

Ozzy appears beside Grace and you give him a massive hug. He whispers in your ear.

OZZY_SAD: I’m gonna miss you so much, {0}. I wish…

OZZY_EMBARRASSED: Never mind.

{0} leans into you.

{0}_SAD: This feels like a bad dream. It hasn’t sunk in yet.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: That kiss was pretty dreamy.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I didn’t want it to end.

{0}_HAPPY: I promise we’ll see each other on the outside.

{0}_IDLE: I have a lot to think about.

{0}_IDLE: In fact, maybe you’ll be seeing me sooner than later.

He looks around at the others.

{0}_SAD: I don’t know if there’s much else for me now you’re leaving.

{0}_IDLE: Elliot seems pretty quiet.

You turn to see Elliot stood away from the others, a reflective expression on his face. You walk over to him.

PLAYER_IDLE: Everything ok?

ELLIOT_SAD: I’m just…

ELLIOT_SAD: Wow.

ELLIOT_SAD: Speechless.

He gives you a sincere hug before smiling at you.

ELLIOT_IDLE: I’m gonna miss you, {0}.

You shoot Elliot a sad smile as you go to leave.

AMELIA_SAD: {0}, wait up.

AMELIA_SAD: It’s been back to back drama and dumpings and votes all day.

AMELIA_SAD: I feel like we need a moment together. As sisters.

AMELIA_IDLE: I’ll walk you to the door alone.

AMELIA_SAD: So we can say a proper goodbye.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: Alright. I better just say bye to everyone one last time.

AMELIA_IDLE: I’ll wait for you.

You turn to the others and decide how to say your final farewell.

Leave the villa with a friendly wave

You blow the Islanders some kisses and wave them all goodbye.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Bye, everyone!

OZZY_SAD: Bye, {0}

{0}_HAPPY: See you soon!

{0}_SAD: Gonna miss you so much, babes!

GRACE_SAD: Bye!

You leave for the exit with Amelia as the other Islanders wave you off.

*Leave with some sass

PLAYER_FLIRTY: I know you’re all gonna miss me when I’m gone.

{0}_IDLE: You know it.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Grace. I didn’t mean to push your buttons so much in here…

PLAYER_HAPPY: In all honesty, I was just trying to find mute. For all our sakes.

GRACE_SERIOUS: Mean.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: And boys, you’ve missed your opportunity.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: There were only four of you fighting for me in here.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Now you’re gonna have to get in line.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Bigger and better things.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Have fun without me.

You leave for the exit with Amelia as the other Islanders look on astonished.

AMELIA_SAD: I can’t believe you’re going so soon. It’s so unfair.

AMELIA_HAPPY: Have to say that exit was absolutely iconic though!

AMELIA_SAD: I’m sorry about the Zeph confession earlier.

AMELIA_SAD: It’s something I should have told you ages ago.

AMELIA_SAD: I feel like such a bad sister for the way I handled that.

PLAYER_IDLE: It came out of nowhere.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: It just feels like a sour note for us to end this journey on together.

AMELIA_SAD: You’ve been here so much for me in the villa. Always had my back.

AMELIA_SAD: I don’t know where I’d be without you.

AMELIA_SERIOUS: Do you think you can forgive me and we can end this journey on good terms?

I forgive you

PLAYER_HAPPY: I can forgive you, Amelia.

PLAYER_IDLE: I think moving past it is the right move.

AMELIA_IDLE: I really appreciate that, {0}.

I’d rather not forgive you right now

PLAYER_SERIOUS: I don’t want to forgive you right now, Amelia.

PLAYER_SERIOUS: That’s all there is to it.

AMELIA_IDLE: That’s sad, but I totally understand.

AMELIA_SAD: And I will make this up to you. I promise.

Amelia looks at you, her eyes welling up with tears.

Tell her you love her

PLAYER_HAPPY: I guess this is it.

PLAYER_HAPPY: I love you, Amelia.

AMELIA_SAD: Love you too, {0}. So much.

PLAYER_HAPPY: Best of luck in the villa.

You take your personalised Love Island suitcase and strut out the front door towards a car that’s waiting for you.

Just say goodbye

PLAYER_IDLE: Well, this is it. Goodbye, Amelia.

AMELIA_SAD: Bye, {0}.

You take your personalised Love Island suitcase, turn from Amelia, and strut out the front door towards the waiting car.

As you approach the car you suddenly receive another text!

LITEXT: {0}, surprise! As the winner of the public vote you have been selected for a special prize.

LITEXT: Tonight you will not be travelling home. You are going to Casa Amor early to spend a day alone with 4 new boys! {0}AmorOf{1} {2}DumpingDupe

NARRATOR: I was about to say this is the end of the road for {0}.

NARRATOR: But I guess her road’s leading to Casa Amor!

NARRATOR: That’s right, {0} isn’t heading home at all. She’s off to the place where heads go to turn.

NARRATOR: Where singles go to mingle and where couples go to be tested.

NARRATOR: Find out what sexy singles are waiting in Casa for her next time on Love Island.

Hello lovelies. It’s Finesse with another report from the Love Island villa. I have seen so much in this villa, but today was one for the record books. So Amelia keeps wanting to talk to me. Every time I turn around she needs to say something. Why can’t she talk to Jamal? Or Grace? She really needs more friends.

I quire liked the Doghouse challenge. It wasn’t hard to just follow the instructions. I saw some islanders doing their own thing and (unless you’re a master carpenter) you can’t expect to have any success building without a plan. Thankfully, Elliot is of the same mind and that is what won us the challenge! Amelia kept coming over to talk. How dare she? But I stayed focused on my little dog house. I don’t have to resort to cheating to win.

Roberto tried to make a grand gesture and dance for me. Oh I could have melted into the ground out of embarrassment! He needs more help with his rhythm I’m afraid. Too bad it won’t be me to get him straight. Then Elliot took me to the roof terrace for a sweet chat. I appreciate he knows he and I aren’t in the “grand gesture” phase of our relationship. It was even too soon for Roberto but that didn’t stop him from being extra. It was nice getting away from everything, wrapped in a blanket with Elliot. We even had a very passionate snog up there. But before all of that, Ozzy and Grace have finally hit the rocks! She is a nice girl but so naive. She kept denying Ozzy’s eggs were in my basket and I was completely forthcoming with her. However she acts like I stabbed her in the back? That’s gratitude for you. But Ozzy took me to the swing seat and laid all his cards on the table. We promised to couple up at our first opportunity and shared a perfect kiss to seal it. I’m quite taken by him honestly. Of course Grace was furious when Ozzy told her about our secret romance. Oh well.

Elliot and I had to vote for the least compatible couple. I chose Amelia and Jamal. They do get on well, but I need space from my twin. Elliot felt that Chloe and Roberto were least compatible but they have so much potential. Imagine my surprise when the first safe couple is Amelia and Jamal! Chloe and Roberto were also safe so Bella and Lewie left. I was absolutely gutted because two nicer people have never entered the villa. I hope they find love because their friendship is 100% goals. Then we got a shocking text about another girl leaving. Once again I prayed for Amelia to leave. Little did I know I hit pretty close to home. I got dumped from the villa. Maybe I did too much hoing and not enough grafting on one partner. Anyway, I get to go to Casa Amor with four gorgeous lads!! Lucky me, right? I still plan to play the field. After all, I have to secure my spot back in the villa. Now which sucker is gonna help me? I’m guessing he will have dark eyes, long hair, and a quiet confidence that speaks to his maturity. At any rate, I’ll have fun looking. See you in Casa Amor lovelies!!

Xoxo,

Finesse

Ok friend, my brain is breaking 🤯 I just can’t figure out who would be leaving this early (as indicated in the teaser for vol.3). If there’s a recoupling, there would be an equal amount of girls and boys right now so no single pringle to be sent packing. Maybe an early couple leaving, but that would be crazy and leave so few girls. And we just had Roberto enter so I can’t imagine they’d send in newbies just yet. The only thing I can really think of is maybe we get picked by Roberto and our first LI (Lewie, Jamal, Ryan) pulls a Rafi and is like, “she’s the only one for me, so peace.” But there’s a whole season still with plenty of chances to recouple so that doesn’t even make sense!

The tagline reads “Heartfelt confessions and abrupt goodbyes!” Goodbyes plural?! That is even more confusing because to me that means it’s more than one. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!! 😩😭

Oh no, I just thought of Ozzy. What if he gets sent home and he’s the Lurik?! Ugh, if that happens I will be sad 😢 Marshall will have to console me…

Anyway, thanks for all your fun theories, opinions and responses!! 💗💗 I guess we’ll find out Wed 😆

bestie I obviously have to answer the most important part of this first...Ozzy is not going home LOL. he's at casa amor so we know he's def still in the villa and 100% not going home yet. if he went home now and pulled a meera coming back from casa he wouldnt have been shown in the postcards bc they'd want that to be a surprise.

"Heartfelt confessions and abrupt goodbyes" I think they mean this more as a figure of speech not multiple goodbyes.

So I reread the teaser and the part thats sticking out to me the most right now is "a text sends shockwaves through the villa" bc that could be multiple things...a new islander coming in, a recoupling, a public vote/dumping, a challenge...the possibilities are endless.

theres like a 0.01% chance of this being it butttttt... imagine we get a text and its zeph and he's here to win over MC...maybe he saw the show on tour and realized how much he fucked up with her...especially since mystery man in casa amor needs to come in at some point 😬

ahhh lol thank you for indulging in my random thoughts and insane theories 💖

alright, i've officially added the poll winner Apple to my muse list! however, the second highest amount of votes was a tie! for both Josh AND Kiki. sooo i added them both! so here are some headcanons/background to introduce y'all to them

Apple comes from a poorer family in the Lust ring, to two failed musicians who tried to gain popularity.

As such, they pushed their dreams onto young Apple, beginning to train her in music, dance, and acting at a very young age.

She was raised by total. stage. parents.

They pretty much micromanaged her interests, what she wore, how she did her hair, etc. She wasn't even really allowed to hang out with other kids, as she was homeschooled.

However, she did long for a different life.

As she grew older, Apple became more and more rebellious. She loved music, but she hated being pushed by her parents and their total control freak nature.

So, eventually, Apple got a new tattoo. The snake in the Garden of Eden around an apple. Symbolizing how she was going to chose to embrace herself rather than her parent's image.

They naturally freaked out, but Apple decided to go anyways.

Eventually, she met Verosika and was encouraged to audition to be part of her group, and she got it.

Apple is cheery a lot of the time and isn't the smartest person around. However, she is very skilled at music and dance. She did start training from a young age, after all.

Apple is pansexual but homoromantic.

She has self esteem issues, mainly due to her parents telling her she's trash without them. She still believes it.

Adores sweets.

Apple isn't easily embarrassed. She has no shame.

She's fairly easy going, unless she thinks someone is trying to control her and then she'll go bananas.

Has a fondness for hair care.

tw for self harm

Josh, like Apple, comes from a poor family. However, unlike Apple, he has an older brother, Jesse. (The bouncer from the Ozzie's episode.)

Jesse was very much the golden child, while Josh was sort of the ignored one. Jesse was the apple of their parent's eye, while Josh often had to fight to be recognized.

It didn't help that Jesse seemed to be more talented in everything than him. Jesse was more popular in school, could get any date he wanted, play any sport ever, and teachers loved him. Josh, however, was only good at running, got okay grades, and was a bit of a delinquent.

Josh and Jesse had a good relationship, but Josh was secretly resentful of his older brother. If only because being the younger sibling wasn't fun.

He began feeling so overshadowed that he was tired of pretending everything was fine. Josh began acting out more, getting into more trouble.

Eventually, Jesse and Josh graduated high school a year apart from another. With Jesse having job offers and Josh having nothing.

Josh, like many incubi, ended up turning to sex work because he knew it was the only thing he was really good at.

He spent a number of years that way, working in the sex industry and eventually becoming pretty successful. But really, he was a dime a dozen.

Giving into more of his destructive urges, Josh began to become more reckless and wild, harming himself

However, one day, everything changed.

He met someone while he was on the curb smoking, who took pity on him and decided to unofficially take him under their wing.

They began meeting up for sex, but eventually this demon began to teach him skills that would change his life.

The guitar.

Josh found himself channeling all that negative energy through his music, writing songs and playing the guitar.

He began to feel like he could really shine, and he grew to be really passionate about his music. Josh ended up becoming more mellow and chill, seeking out therapy even.

Verosika actually recruited him personally after hearing him perform at a bar, and after a few drinks, he said 'why not'.

Now, he primary writes the music to Verosika's lyrics and plays whatever instruments she needs.

Josh has reconnected with Jesse, and the two frequently talk.

He's really chill now, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor. It really is night and day.

Josh really likes the beach, and would rather be there than in the city.

His favorite type of music is either rock or jazz.

Music helped pick up his confidence, and he's now fairly self confident.

Tends to try and protect younger demons or his other friends, he cares deeply for people.

Must be at a level 30 friend to unlock another emotion from him other than chill.

Any hole is a goal. Although leans more towards men.

Unlike my previous two, Kiki comes from a wealthy family.

However, her parents both knew that as a lower class of demon, their wealth was fragile and their prosperous business could fall at any minute.

This meant that their children had to be trained to be the perfect little heirs and heiresses.

And the picture of refinement.

Kiki, being the oldest of four, had the most pressure on her. Being the heiress to their company, she was expected to be perfect at all times.

While Apple's parents were desperate and emotional regarding her upbringing, Kiki's were cold and efficient.

This was how things had been for generations, as such her parents raised Kiki the way they had been raised.

With the parents being the total Gods, that she was to obey without question.

Kiki was schooled by private tutors, enrolled in ettiqute classes, and given business training.

As such, she learned to turn off her emotions and only focus on being proper and ladylike. The thought of rebelling never entered her mind at all.

That all changed when she was 17, and Kiki was allowed to go to a Lilith concert.

There, Kiki could see for the first time that a demoness could be graceful, ladylike, but also so filled with emotion and passion. She began to get a kind of hero worship for Lilith, researching all about her.

She found out that the Queen was so much more than what she appeared. She was a performer, an activist, so much more than a figurehead.

Kiki began thinking that she wanted to be more.

So, she began to secretly practice her singing. It turns out, she was actually really, really good.

However, she still kept up with the ettiqute classes her parents made her attend.

It wasn't until she was 25 that Kiki finally gathered the courage to leave both of her parents, and there was a huge fight.

She ended up disowned, however, a few weeks later of living on the streets, she found out her parents never altered their will. Kiki was the inheritator of a sizable chunk of their estate.

So, she took all that money and made a life for herself. Singing whenever she wanted and overall learning how to finally live.

She eventually auditioned for Verosika's group, and ended up getting in.

Nowadays, when she's not performing with Verosika, she's having hook ups for fun.

Kiki is a bitch. She isn't really to her friends, but to everyone else, she's a meanie. It's how she was brought up, and she doesn't really see the need to change that part of herself. It helps her survive.

Has expensive tastes, but isn't a snob.

She still maintains her very sophisticated demeanor, but retools it to a more seductive and coy attitude instead.

Did not go to her parent's funeral.

Gets along well with her siblings, is proud that they have taken over the company so well.

Doesn't like the human world much, Hell is perfectly fine.

Enjoys animals.

cass, standing in front of a giant projector screen which reads WHY I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE ON THE NEXT SEASON OF SURVIVOR: have you seen these people pass out from malnutrition and heat stroke during an endurance challenge? losers. I could go on the longest immunity idol run in survivor history. ozzy has nothing on me. AND the social side of the game would be a good test of my interpersonal skills, AND--

babs, head in her hands: cass you would blow your secret identity immediately

cass, ignoring her: plus it's a blood versus water season, so with tim at my side, we would absolutely--

tim: fuck yes

babs: you would get an infection and die in under a week, missing spleen boy

tim: oh, right

cass: okay fine, I'll take damian

babs: absolutely not

tim: he's too young anyway. duke has more charm, but steph will never get over it if you don't pick her

cass: my concern with steph is that she's a wild card. she'd go full russell hantz and sow too much discord for me to capitalize effectively on the chaos. I'd have to turn on her and hope she still voted for me from the jury. dick's charisma is too obvious and he'd probably get voted off before the merge. there's always--

tim: kate would never go for it

cass: if I tell bruce that one of the producers is secretly in the pocket of lex luthor, do you think--

babs: no. and I'm going to continue to delete every copy of your audition video as soon as you finish filming it.

cass: ...so I'll do it on tape and mail it in

given cass's canonical love of reality tv, I am absolutely certain that every year babs has to go into cbs's recruitment email and delete her survivor audition video

2023 Winners

With the 2023 season in the books, we also finally have our first winner of the Dave Kingman Award for Hacking Excellence: Cowabunga Dudes! The Dudes hacked away to a league leading total of 4834 K+TB. As a result, I am now the proud owner, for this year anyway, of the signed Dave Kingman photo that sits on Martin's mantel, obscuring various pictures of family and loved ones. (It may also be pasted on the ceiling above his bed glaring down on him, or perhaps the inside door of the bathroom facing the toilet, where it can force all visitors to reconsider their values regarding taking giant hacks. I never asked, but those are the only three places that would make any sense)

So congratulations to me, and thank you, thank you - please, really, you can sit down and stop cheering now.

It was a hard fought win at the end: Kekambas roared to the finish line for a total of 4754 K+TB, just narrowly missing the lead. For this spectacular finish, Kebambas has been granted an honorary award as well! (there is no prize)

However, the Kingman prize itself feels almost trivial in light of the true greatness that we witnessed this year. This year, Ozzie's Crazy Train set an all time record in most batter Ks with 1824!! Those of you who were not tracking these important stats with bated breath might have missed this accomplishment - let that be a lesson. I would also like to point out that this year, we also saw new a new record set in single week Ks, as both Ozzie and the The Axe managed 118Ks. Incredibly, both accomplished this feat IN THE SAME WEEK, week 15. Week 15 will go down in league history as the all time high-water mark for batter Ks (Sadly, the two were not facing off that week.) Let us bow our heads in a moment of reflection in the strikeout greatness that unfolded all around us this year.

This years MKP (Most Kingman Player) award goes to perennial stalwart Kyle Schwarber of Kekambas, by unanimous vote of the governing body. K-Dog led the league with 215 Ks, and finished just outside the top 20 with 277 TB. That is all-around greatness, which deserves to be honored. We salute you, Schwarbombs!

We would also like to grant special recognition on the pitching side to Lance Lynn, who went out there every day to give up homers and get Ks. He finished with an incredible 353 TBA, good for second in all of baseball, and 191Ks for 20th. Most importantly, he was picked up and dropped probably 15 times in our league, always there on the wire as a dependable source for TBA and Ks. A service to us all.

Finally, the council would like to extend a special lifetime achievement award to our very own Ian Happ. Not only for his service on the field, jacking taters and ripping whiffs, but his service off the field, as an ambassador for Everythings Coming Up Milhouse. He had an off year this year, only striking out 22.1% of the time, instead apparently opting for walks and 'balls in play.' But we know his heart is in the right place, and we still honor him as the great man he is.

One with their costumes part 1.

(The fnaf crew arrive at a halloween costume party being held at the town square. Freddy is dressed as Winnie the Pooh, Bonnie is dressed as an angel, Chica dressed as a zombie, and Foxy is dressed as a knight.)

Chica: I can't wait to see everyone's costumes.

(The fnaf crew come across the Wonderland crew with Willy dressed as a demon, Ozzie dressed as Frankenstein, Gus dressed as Frankenstein's monster, Tito dressed as a vampire, Sara dressed as a cave woman, Knighty dressed as a pirate, Arty dressed as a scarecrow, and Cammy dressed as a witch.)

Willy: Hey, guys.

Freddy: Hello, Willy.

Willy: Are you guys excited about the costume party?

Freddy: We sure are.

Gus: Look, they have free treats on that table ranging from ghost shaped cookies to caramel apples.

Chica: Oh, hell yeah!

(Gus and Chica rushed to the snack table.)

Tito: Classic Gus and Chica.

Tex: Ladies and gentlemen, please gather around because the costume contest's about to start.

(The contest began and after everyone voted which contestant had the best costume the contestants gathered on the outdoor stage.)

Tex: Alright everybody, the results are in, the last three places are Tiffany(goose) at third last with her boring white sheet she has for a ghost costume, Gerold(grasshopper) at second last dressed as a head of lettuce, and at dead last is Norman(human) who I think is crow?

Norman: I'm not a crow, I'm Batman, I just can't afford an actual Batman costume and had to make my own.

Tex: Anyway, at the top three, we have Mitzi at third place with her sylveon costume, at second place we have this man dressed as krampus-

?: I'm not Krampus, I'm a vampire.

Tex: Then why aren't you wearing a black suit and cape, or look more like a pale human with fangs.

?: Because not all vampires look the same, saying all vampires are pale human like creatures who wear black suits and capes is a stereotype!

Tex: Sir, you didn't have to go all social justice warrior on me.

?: Whatever...

Tex: Anyway, in first place, we have this lady wearing the most convincing witch costume in the whole crowd.

(The crowd claps while Tex gave Mitzi the third place prize(a huge gift basket filled with halloween treats) the man in the vampire costume the second place prize(a three hundred dollar cash prize) and the lady in the witch costume the first place prize.(a one week trip to Disneyworld during next year's Mickey's not so scary Halloween)

Tex: Now second and first place contestants, would you two mind telling us who you are underneath those costumes?

?: Oh, this is awkward, should we tell them, Hierophant?

Hierophant: I guess we should, Juniper.

Juniper: We aren't wearing costumes, I'm an actual witch and Hierophant's an actual vampire.

Hippo lady: That's cheating!

Tex: She's right, you two are disqualified!

(Tex took Juniper and Hierophant's prizes, brig up the 4th and fifth place contestants and swap around the prizes.)

Butterfly dressed as a killer clown: Thank you for the gift basket.

Beaver dressed as Buzz Lightyear: I finally have enough money to buy a vr headset!

Mitzi: I can't wait to go to Disneyworld.

(Juniper is pissed that she had her prize taken away from her.)

Juniper: I should be the one who gets to go to Disneyworld, not her!

Hierophant: Juniper, please don't be a sore loser, I told you this was a bad idea.

Juniper: Shut up!

(Juniper casts a spell to remove his mouth.)

Hierophant: (mumbling) You bitch!

The end of part 1.

2023 Grammy nominations are out? Well let’s delve into it

https://www.grammy.com/news/2023-grammy-nominations-complete-winners-nominees-list

Predictions to come RECORD OF THE YEAR:I’m predicting Brandi Carlile wins this. How the hell are Lizzo, Beyonce, MLB, Doja and some guy named Lacy nominated?? Abba though being nominated is a pleasant surprise but if Lizzo somehow wins this award, it’s a crying shame.

ALBUM OF YEAR:Remember when the grammys were special? Now it’s a lot of generic cookie-cutter bullshit that’s nominated. Again, Lizzo is undeserving and it would be a real shame if she won with her recycled nonsense that’s basically just like every other singer out there. I will say Brandi wins again.

SONG OF YEAR:Bonnie Raitt nominated? POG. But there’s a lot of bad nominees here [Bad Bunny, DJ Khaled, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, i could go on] I’ll go Bonnie to win

BEST NEW ARTIST:Um, I’ll say Maneskin. Don’t know why. 

The Pop awards, I really don’t care for. I skip the Dance awards because I really would be shooting darts blindly since I know none of the nominees.

BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE:TBF I don’t consider Brandi rock but she is talented. Per my rule, I vote for those actually considered rock in the rock category. That being the case, I will go Bryan Adams

BEST METAL PERFORMANCE:Muse is metal? Since when? Anyway I’ll go Ghost here.

BEST ROCK SONG:I’ll guess on RHCP here.

BEST ROCK ALBUM:Hmm. I’ll guess Ozzy here. 

Skipping the R&B and rap since i dont care about the nominees, on to the next

country performance: Maren Morris nominated? LMAO. I’ll guess Zach or Willie to win this one. This was a disappointing year by Kelsea if you ask me.

duo/group: this one is tough. I’ll guess carly/ashley here but any of these can realistically win, except Osborne

country song: Luke or Cody gets my nod, i’ll guess Cody. Also Maren nominated here too? LOL. And Taylor needs to gtfo

country album: luke

gospel:mav and kirk

Christian:phil

best music video:none of them, theyre all bad

OVERALL TAKE:I only care about the country and rock awards, and the Christian/Gospel awards. Remember when the Grammys used to be good?
