This week on Royal Rumble:
The eight contestants met in my Gaia home for a little "party".
One by one they showed up, and before you know it, they were having a great time getting to know one another. There were some who hit it off immediately, and others that seemed to have a dramatic grudge. All in all, everyone seemed to have a great time.
I welcomed everyone to the show, and explained that the night was about first impressions. Many of them, during the party, had complained about the time, and kept asking about when the challenge would begin. A few of them realized my true reasoning behind the party. Yes, it was to have fun, but I wanted to get to know these people. I wanted to find out what made them tick, who they were, what they were about. If they had what it took.
After realizing this night was about more than just a party, many of them grew nervous. Before beginning the challenge, I placed Vaugh, Kakashi, Azn, and Permelia up for discussion. Each one of them had complained about getting on with the challenge, and didn't seem interested in getting to know each other.
During the challenge, a heated discussion took place in the back between Kakashi and Noah.
Not even the first day had passed and already there was drama! Well, that's TV for you, hee hee.
This weeks challenge was for each contestant to deliver their best pick-up line one by one. In the end, Noah won the challenge and the BFF necklace, which protects him from eliminations next week.
I explained to everyone that it took more than your need to win to come out on top. I gave the other contestants an opportunity to choose who they though should go home. Axxest had shown up late, so he didn't have an opinion. Scromlette chose Azn because out of all the contestants, she knew the least about her. Noah chose Permelia.
"Vaugh, you didn't seem interested in interacting and getting to know the others. Instead, you wanted to hurry up and get it over with. I'm beginning to wonder, should you stay? However, you have been the most active during the creation of the show, and have been the most helpful. You get to fight another day, please take a seat."
"Kakashi, like Vaughn, you were more focused on getting to the point than enjoying the party. As a former host, I expected more out of you. On the other hand, you did support the show when it was first created in the GGBBG, and for that reason you get to fight another day. Please take your seat."
It was down to the last two
"Permelia, at first I enjoyed talking to you, but recently, you've done nothing but complain and are too emotional about everything. I wonder, are you strong enough to make it on top?"
"Azn, out of all the contestants, I feel like I know you the least. Like the others, you seemed more interested in getting on with the challenge than just enjoying the process"
I then asked both girls why they should stay. Both really wanted another chance to get to know everyone, and to have the opportunity to make new friendships.
Sadako; having left early on, was also put up for discussion.
"Sadako, I understand that you had to go, but we continued on. After an hour, you still hadn't shown up again. It's not fair to all the other contestants who had shown up for me to wait till later on to give you a shot to complete the challenge. Out of everyone in the the group, you spoke the least. I'm sorry, but you must retreat from Rainbow Rumble, goodbye"
