"Hel-lo, Simchelor nation."

[moocha-muses]

Big news, gentlesims! The lovely Lorelei Lee is looking to fall in love! Could your sim be The One?

I: So, Lilo, give us the scoop. What made you send in an audition tape?

L: This is going to sound so lame, but, I’ve never been in love before! And I know what you’re thinking. Lorelei, you’re twenty-three. Get over yourself. But everyone else has been dropping the “l-word” since high school. I’ve been confessed to, but I’ve never been the one doing the confessing. I’m here to meet someone that'll make my heart pound.

Full interview (and the submission rules) beneath the cut!

I: That’s why you’re here . . . why should the contestants bother showing up?

LL: Ouch! Haha, I mean, I don’t know? I’ve got a killer smile, great legs, I’m not a bad cook . . . I’m sure they’ll have their reasons.

I: Tell us a little more about yourself.

LL: Sure. Let’s see. I’m pretty competitive. I don’t think I’m an asshole about it, but if I was one of the suitors on this show, I’d probably end up as the villain. I swear I'm nice to the sims I date.

I: Ha!

LL: I love cats, I have mild insomnia and I drink way too much coffee. I'm great with people, I love making new friends, but I tend to hold onto a grudge. Sometimes I really get into moods where I just feel all my feelings.

I can play pretty much any instrument by ear, and I absolutely slay at karaoke night. I think a lot of my college professors expected me to drop my major at any minute, like it was a giant prank, and go into the family business - should I talk about my mom? No? Well, I am going into the family business. People forget my dad’s a social worker. He’s my hero.

I: You sound great.

LL: Are you sure? I don’t know if I’d date me.

I: She’s funny, too! This sim's a catch. Speaking of . . . Lilo, what kind of sim are you looking for?

LL: Someone passionate. I don't mean that in a sexy way (though clearly that's a plus) but the sims I've been attracted to have always committed to the bit, you know? I'm into people who don't back down, or try to make themselves palatable. I love listening to sims talk about the things they're completely weird on.

And blondes! Love me a blond.

Now for the entry rules!

To submit an entrant, just make a post with cute pics and a bio (see below) and tag me! The finalists can be sent as in a private DL once they've been chosen.

Contests get an all-expenses paid trip to a tropical vacation for a shoot that will happen right after the end of this round. All entries should include a personal bio with an aspiration, a personality/sign (Lilo's a Popularity Taurus), a list of traits and a set of TOs (at least one of which should be for black hair, fitness, or creativity). Feel free to include a career and job level too. And a LTW! Why not?

Winning entrants will be expected to provide their own wardrobe (Everyday, Formal, Swim, and Undies) suitable for a tropical environment.

All genders welcome, but only the following supernaturals: witches, werewolves, and aliens. Go ahead and include any accessories/jewelry and tattoo boxes you'd like. I'll recolor hairs and adjust skins/eyes as necessary to match my defaults. Go ahead and include an CC you like! The more the better.

(No real entrant deadline because scheduling this within the next two/three months is probably optimistic. Let's say September 1st-ish, until the producers say otherwise. Otherwise, I'll cap it when we hit too many sims for me to choose between!)

Good luck, and don't forget your hearts! Or your swimsuits.

You heard the lady; let's see that first night math!

So: Every contestant started at 11 DR and 0 LTR points with Lilo, and vice-versa. The final score is based on the total DR at the end of the night, plus a chemistry bonus (10 points per bolt), and various bonuses earned for playing instruments or trying to talk to the Simchelor after the initial interaction. (Sims mostly got one chance to talk to Lilo - Lilo could talk to anyone she wanted.) The producers acted to cancel interactions (like Elin's fifth game of catch with another contestant), but never to instigate them.

Raymond: 11 Sidney: 21 Daphne: 23 Candy: 39 Brodie: 41 Manni: 41 Deena: 47 Leonard: 52 Elin: 53 Xane: 53 Esther: 55 Marcus: 57 Claude: 65 Mallory: 69 (nice)

I already planned to award the First Impression Rose to the highest bolter, but Mallory also won by points! Our compliments to @mystic-hysteria. Your girl is here to win. (Although maybe not as much as Esther, who did score a whole 12 points in 'trying to talk to the Simchelor' bonuses (3 per attempt), and even managed to close the chemistry gap.)

Raymond, Sidney, and Daphne didn't interact with Lilo even once, hence their abysmal scores. Our sympathies to their agents, @cobycobsy2k, @thatonebritishsimmer, and @asimplevampire :( They'll be staying in the hotel instead of coming along to the Mansion. Candy failed to mesh with Lilo on the night but her excellent villain moves (she went in for a hang-out interrupt while Lilo was talking to Mal - good instincts and an interaction that could have tied up the Simchelor's attention for the rest of the night! Plus she had our first steal-away) earned her the coveted Producer Pick.

Keep tuning in, viewers! We'll see you at the mansion!

Z: . . . Deena and Elin!

D&E: Woo-

Z: Love the ambition of those little cowplant horns, ladies. Now, go get changed - Lilo's waiting out front for you to join her on a nature hike.

E: . . . oooo. :(

[moocha-muses]

X: I can't believe you caught me again! You've got such noodly arms.

C: Were you expecting me to drop you on the asphalt?

X: I knew you could handle me.

C: Those look almost as good as mine.

E: Yeah, those look just as good as Claude's.

C: I said almost.

B: It's the baaaacoooon~

E & C: Race you.
