RIVALRY TASK #008

ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, i present to you, your first task for season 2.

while us ladies know most of you and what values you particular people have, we still need to find out about the others and what they may have in store for us this coming season. so in order to do that, we’ve got a few questions we need you to answer.

for this task, each of you, even the returning cast members, will be interviewed. one by one, member by member, each of you will be brought into a room to be asked a series of questions ( that you can find below the cut ) about you, your personality, your opinions on various topics, what you did before coming to the island, what you did with your time off the island (returning cast members), and why you decided to join us on rivalry island or return to the island. sounds easy, right?

we ask you to complete this through something that is very similar to a self para, but not quite. you can find an example right HERE. notice how they used gifs in between topic changes ?? you’re going to be asked to do the same.

this task must be complete by next SATURDAY JUST BEFORE 12:00AM

RIVALRY TASK #008 - THE INTERVIEW [SEASON 2].

“hello, my full name is dalton christopher ross. i was born on the eighth of september in the year of nineteen-ninety-four. meaning very recently i turned twenty three. old, i know. i feel like twenty-one, twenty-two is a good age but once you’re twenty-three you feel old. not bad old though but like...i don’t know, just old. my zodiac sign is a virgo. typical, i know. virgos are known for being picky and critical and always being the butt of the jokes. me. but they’re known also for helping others...that i’ve gradually gone into. not so much before. whatever. i grew up in a very small village known as lacock in wiltshire, england. i mean, for just under thirteen years i did. it’s a very vintage looking village. with it’s thatched roofs and stone houses. i lived in one of those. ( click here to see the house aye it’s how i imagine it but just not as fancy oml ). my family struggled with finance when i was little so it’s all we had. but it was fine. i prefer to live in a small village because it had everything you needed and everyone knew each other. though perhaps that wasn’t the best things in terms of who had the gossip? when shit hits the fan somewhere, everyone knew about it within a day. because of the look to the village, a lot of movies and shows are filmed there. harry potter was, and little eleven year old me was an extra. no, you can’t see me. even if i was put in front of the camera in three different movies, i was no where to be seen. still got paid though, so ah well. i’m pretty sure downtown abbey was filmed there but i could be wrong. that was always cool but no one was ever allowed to leave their homes during filming. so, when i was just about to turn thirteen i moved to seattle. i moved after my parents divorced and my mum couldn’t really afford to have me around any more. and she knew my dad had money. s’why i didn’t talk to her for months straight after she made me move to america but i started again, don’t worry. though i never really got over the petty stage until i was about nineteen. pathetic, i know. you wouldn’t understand. turns out my dad had a lot more money than we thought. in the years he had disappeared he had apparently been trying to get into his career in law. he had already a degree in it, and why he didn’t start it before i’ll never understand. but anyways, he had a shit ton of money so at least then i could move into his house and not have to see him because it was so big you’d get lost. i truly don’t understand why you’d need such a big house. ( see house here ). it was like some fucking hotel. i hated it. after that, when i was nineteen i had to go to college so i moved to new york. i lived in a dorm for the four years i was there and just last year i moved into an apartment ( see apartment here ). my favorite memories? i definitely don’t think i have much from wiltshire. as for seattle, i guess meeting kylie and all those other people were great. at the time of course, none of them ended well. new york, i guess i enjoyed college. not my first year but the rest, i did. i’m yet to make favorite memories, perhaps. my father, before the divorce, worked in an office. for some company, i don’t know, i never asked. but he used to have to get the train into the city every morning before sun rise. and he always came home late. now, as you know, he’s a lawyer and is quite well known in that era. uh...my mum was the local librarian when i was growing up. as far as i’m concerned, she’s stopped that but still volunteers around there. now she’s working full time at a restaurant a few blocks away from the house. i have several siblings. none of them are full though. some are step-siblings by my father marrying another woman with kids. others are half siblings, by my father and this woman having kids. i never really got along with the ones around my age, the step-siblings. and i’ve only ever met one of the half-siblings. i think there’s like...three now? and i’ve only met the first. maybe one day i’ll go back but for now i’m not so sure. before coming onto rivalry island, i worked as a bartender. after season one, i went back into the bar and they said i was welcome to return at any time. i was a bartender all through my college days as well. yeah, i have the money to sit around all day and do nothing but i don’t want to. i happen to really enjoy working so i love going to the pub every night and serving up some cocktails and beers. i have some stories from there, i’ll tell you that. in school, i was that one really awkward kid that sat in the corner and just read all the time. you know that one kid that would cry a lot? that was me. but i had my reasons. the other kids were mean. probably because i was the smartest in that elementary class. yes, i attended university. i went to columbia in new york and majored in english literature. i absolutely loved it, i loved going to class and getting to study what i loved. it was great. i was actually accepted to yale when i was in high school but then they sent me another letter saying they could no longer allow me in since they don’t accept those with criminal records and i swear to god i cried for weeks.

when i was in high school, some guy offered to do my friends and i’s tattoos. i said no because i hated the idea of getting tattoos but all the guys kept calling me a pussy. they didn’t stop until i threatened them all but even then i felt as if i had some sort of point to prove? so i got my first tattoo done. and i hated it. i wanted it gone immediately. but it was like...after that i couldn’t stop? i kept getting them done and they made me more intimidating and cool. but if i could take it back, i would in a heartbeat, definitely. i hate having tattoos. i might looking into getting them all removed but apparently that’s like the worst thing ever. does that mean they pressured me? maybe, i don’t know. three positive traits....ooh, i’d say....maybe honest..nice and...chill? i’ve honestly no idea. three negative traits...naive, because i know i’m naive and i try not to be but i am and i can’t help it. fussy, for sure. i’m extremely fussy, like indecisive. and...paranoid, yes. paranoid. what are my strengths? i’ve no idea. does being able to analyse things like poems and such easily count as a strength? i’m not strong physically if that’s what you mean. seriously, i do not like working out. running i can do but working out...absolutely not. i do not have any upper or lower body strength so i could be beaten easily. and i bruise like a peach. i’m extremely fragile. what do you mean by weaknesses? like...things that get me weak to the knees attractive wise or things that put me down? i mean like...when someone bites their lip, that’s always weakening but if you mean it the other way then...probably if someone insults me in a....really offensive way....i guess. my greatest achievement? pfft, still being here. i’d love to learn like...karate or something. that’d be really cool, for sure. i can only imagine. the greatest compliment i’ve ever received? dear god. i’ve been told i’m gifted two times. once regarding my writing which i couldn’t be more grateful for because writing has always been a major passion of mine as some people know so being complimented there was incredible. uh...i was also once told apparently i can sing? i truthfully never thought i could. seriously, that person wasn’t even supposed to hear me, it was by accident but they said i was really good and i was all like...eh what? once extreme guilty pleasure of mine would be a huge bubble bath and a tall glass of red wine and a shit load of candles. i don’t like drinking but a single glass of wine never hurt anybody. some of my biggest pet peeves are when people interrupt me constantly, when i’m talking. uh...people who chew really loudly. people who swear a lot. people who are just overall extremely rude. i think i’ve said this before but my happy place will always be by the lake in my hometown. with the single bench and the ducks and all the flowers when it’s sunny out. i spent a lot of time there growing up so it means a lot to me. never do again? ooh...probably get with someone who you’ve been warned about several times, one of those times being by that particular person. one celebrity i’d love to be is....blake lively just so i could be married to ryan reynolds because damn.

you’re asking the wrong person about relationships. as most of you know, i don’t think i’ve ever had a good relationship. no, no i haven’t. uh...trusting one another is extremely important, feeling confident, strong and comfortable in the relationship is also a major need. being able to communicate with each other. not expecting things. being there for the other. appreciating the other. you know....all those good things. i’m not against anyone being in a polyamory relationship, because that’s totally cool. but i personally don’t think that kind of thing is for me. i get jealous really easily so if i were to have to sit there and see my girlfriend or boyfriend kiss someone else and tell someone else they love them i...i just couldn’t do it. i can’t imagine me doing it in all honesty. oh dear god, my first date was unbelievably awkward. okay. so it was with a girl, i was sixteen. i had no idea how to drive so i had to get my step-mum to drop us down to the movies. my hand was sweating like crazy so when i dropped her hand during the movie i saw her wipe it on her jeans so that was embarrassing. she didn’t talk much. and i’m really awkward enough as it is so imagine me trying to make conversation. i know, awful. so, we headed out to mcdonald’s afterwards because she said she hated fancy restaurants. and we literally ate in silence because every time i said something she just nodded. then, when she finally spoke, she asked if i was a psycho, how much allowance did i get in a week from my dad, and if my step-brother was single. it sucked ‘cause i liked her a lot but...mhm, i could’ve lived without her. the worst date i’d ever been on was when i was in my first year of college and this guy was like.....hey, can you help me with my english? and what not. he was like....two years above me? and i found that kind of hot so i agreed, obviously. he was extremely attractive, i’m telling you. so after a few study sessions he asked if i’d like to go out on a date with him and i of course said yes. we went out for dinner but it was no fun at all. he literally was so careless about the whole thing, eating his food messily, burping, downing his beer he’d gotten,  and was so extremely rude to the waiter. then, when we went for a walk, we coincidentally ended up at his place when he said we were just gonna walk to the park and around for a bit. he invited me up, i agreed, then he started smoking weed next to me, blowing it in my face and when i told him to stop he said it was hot and kept asking me to sleep with him. so i just left before it got any worse, and ignored all his texts from then on. he was one of those typical college jocks or whatever so, i wasn’t interested anymore. i would not consider myself vanilla in bed, no. or at least...i don’t think so? i mean, i know what i like and such but i’ve never actually done them. you know? like...every time i’ve ever had sex, i just did military and got it over with. the last time i did anything was with....as you all know, it was with ian that night in the cabin. but even that was just military since it was our first time. uh...with all my exes, it’s been the same. so...obviously i’d like to try new things. i’d be shy about it, i just know it. but i’d love to.....if that’s not weird for me to say? i guess @fckericprescott​ was right when he said i was innocent or pure or whatever. because in reality i’ve never done anything interesting or scandalous. other than the time i did it behind the counter at my job at the bar. but...does that count? the place was closed, there was no one there other than us. uh...as some of you know, i have said my kinks before. when i’m with a girl i can get quite dominant where as with a guy it’s the total opposite, being submissive is probably my favorite thing, to be honest. um...i’d love to get really rough. doing it in front of a mirror or something, is hot. i’ve always wanted to do it somewhere where...i don’t know, you could get caught or someone could be watching you? like a balcony or something, i think that’d be a huge turn on. something i do that only one person has ever commented on is that i’m like...really loud. like i can’t help it, but apparently i moan a lot and really loudly so...one guy said it was adorable but other than that, no one has said anything but i’m kind of embarrassed about it because what if they find it weird or something? i’m pretty sure i’ve said this story before but my worst sex experience was by far the time when my boyfriend...ex boyfriend...and i were going at it and he just stopped and was like ‘by the way, i’m cheating on you’....yeah, sucked.

how i heard about rivalry island...well, i was going to see a close friend of mine and the advert for it came on the radio. a couple days later that friend brought it up and recommended i go for it. i thought he was joking but when i went to see him again he’d actually looked up all the details and forced down me to get an application together. i hated the idea of first but he’s always been good at persuading people with what makes them vulnerable. asshole. i think my application may of stood out because....i’ve no idea really. everything was scripted really fancy but they weren’t entirely....creative? or good enough. i don’t know. the guy that told me to go for the show said it’s probably because of my looks but i don’t see why that’d be such a big thing. as everyone knows, my best friend in here is the lovely @oliviahenley​. she’s absolutely incredible and i’d probably would’ve gone insane already if she weren’t around. i’m also getting along much better with @fckericprescott​, a lot better than i was last year. he’s great too. and unlike last year also, @ncvasmythex​ and i have been getting along extremely well which i’m really happy about since she’s truly a lovely girl and i enjoy her company. someone on the show i’d like to know better would probably be.... @oflilawarren​. judging on how much i’ve talked to her already, she seems incredibly sweet and of course  i’d love to get to know her better. @paxtonwilliams​ seems really cool as well, and @grayson-walsh​ because i’m pretty sure i’ve never talked to him before. nearly everyone i didn’t get along with before are no longer on the show so at the moment the only person i’m avoiding is @tfscbastian​ because he’s really rude and scary and cruel and i don’t want anything to do with him, ever. i genuinely don’t understand why he feels the need to act how he does. sometimes when i talk to him i feel like some sort of teacher having to scold their student with their behavior. and then it goes horribly wrong and he’s got me cornered. in the beginning of the show i was worried a lot about how i looked for the cameras but at this point i feel like it’s totally fine and i barely notice it. unless there’s an actually cameraman there, i rarely realize we’re on a show and there’s cameras everywhere. i think some of the major perks of being on the show is getting to spend a lot of time in the nice weather with loads of these incredible different personalities and making new friends and such. it’s a lot of fun and it’s interesting and i love it, really. last season i regretted signing up. there were a lot of times that i would lay around in my room and wonder how i was going to tell everyone i was leaving. when i got into a fight and had my head smashed onto a counter, that was humiliating and i remember at the hospital, almost in tears, begging to leave. it got better after that when i started getting closer with...you know, ian. but then after the season ended, i wished i’d never met ian. and that would mean i would’ve never signed up for the show. so i regretted it then. but now it’s a lot better than before. when i leave, i did watch the show back but fast forwarded when it came to scenes with me in it. i just wanted to see what everyone else was saying when i wasn’t around. if anything happened that i didn’t know of. it was definitely very interesting.

something i’d like the viewers to understand is that....ooh, i don’t know. that i’m naturally a very impulsive person, and i’ve been told i’m quite naive so if i do anything that bothers you that people would perhaps consider idiotic then i sincerely apologize and it’s not my fault....yeah, that makes sense? do i have any comments? oh, thank you for being so kind to me when i left the house after season one. i requested that in my last interview and my wish was granted. as you all must know, i’m quite fragile and i bruise way too easily so thank you very very much for that. i would most certainly recommend rivalry island to others, it’s a lot of fun and definitely quite the experience. i’m sure you’ll enjoy it as long as you’re comfortable with the cameras and putting yourself out there.  i would absolutely love a rivalry holiday but maybe not somewhere as cold as the last time. don’t get me wrong, it was an incredible trip but i couldn’t step out onto the porch without freezing completely. no offence,”

Rivalry Task #008

 “So, my name is Paxton Williams, I was born in London, England in September 5th, 1992 so that makes me 25 and a virgo. I also have lived in London all of my life. Family has a huge business there for generations. My favorite memory? Wow, literally I can’t choose just one. I loved when I was about six and my parents adopted my brother. We got in so much trouble the day he got home cause we ran around the house like crazy goones.”

“My mother is named Ruth and my father is named Charles. My mom is a trophy wife, stays at home does charity events and things of that sort. My father is or well was  President of the family business. I have taken over since then and have become an awful workaholic.” 

“In school? A trouble maker? Athletic? I don’t know honestly. I guess I was normal? But popular so I was a bit big headed. But whatever I landed a great girl and we were together for awhile through school and it made going to school so much better. Yes I did go to university after I attended school. I majored in business studies and I had a great time partying there.” 

"my greatest achievement is definitely my business. we were voted the top financial company in the world. I believe it was number three and that is because I took over the company. I know my father was good at what he did, but I brought it to the next level.” 

“I think I���d really love to master cooking. Nothing like a good home cooked meal. I know my mom is really great at it and she could teach me, but I wouldn’t want to deal with her in the kitchen, she can be a little crazy.”

"My greatest compliment I’ve received? I literally have no idea. But I do love when people tell me I look good in my suits. Which is a guilty pleasure of mine, I own maybe thirty suits every time i go in to be tailored, I just buy more. It’s a real problem. My biggest pet peeve is probably when people wear shoes without socks. It just urks me, I mean seriously, just put on a pair of socks!”

“To me, as long as you love each other, and they are your best friend at the end of the day, it’s all that matters to me. Oh and trust. Gotta have trust. I used to date like five girls at once. So whatever. But I only want one now. Actually I don’t remember my first date. I’ve been on so many now, it’s a bit embarrassing. But the worst one I’ve been on is burnt into my brain. This one time, I was out with my twentieth? secretary. Was it the twentieth? I think so. Anyway, she threw up all over the table when I took her to a five star restaurant. So embarrassing, I can’t ever show my face in there again.” 

“My brother. He thought I needed a break from everything in my life. I probably ended up on the island because I’m an ex of one of the other contestants. They were probably like, oooooo drama. HA! No drama here though. Haven’t you seen Nova and I? We are getting a little bit closer since I first got on the island on season one. I try to always look my best anyway, so that isn’t an issue of having to look good on the show.”

“I love not having to work! I was getting a bit bored of it and having a little vacation is pretty great. It brought me back to my ex and I love that. I missed her a lot and I’m just glad that we got to reconnect. I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch it, I mean maybe in a few years after Nova and I have been together for a while, it might be great to see us young and in love. Don’t judge me by my drinking, I’m a real great guy, I swear. I would like to tell anyone if they want to sign up, just to do it. You never know what will happen. As for a holiday, bring it on.”
