Season 2: Veteran Edition (Week 6)

Two Houses: Week 6

Merge House

Welcome back to Two Houses! 

Oh, my apologies, you're seeing a new building for the first time. A little...strange to look at from the outside, this is the Merge House! With the assistance of someone very great, this house has been built and furnished in the beautifully massive lot in Brindleton Bay. Perfect for all the needs of the merge house contestants, who will enter soon enough, this house is...well, certainly interesting. Why don't we check it out? 

Here it is, the front entrance and mailbox. Rather bland, I suppose, but it hides within it a house so fascinating and interesting that it isn't what opens that matters, it is what it on the inside that counts! 

Let's inside, shall we? 

And you expect this to be the living room? Prepare for a change. 

Coming in from the front entrance is the eviction platform, where the evicted contestants will stop before officially leaving the house, forever and for good. That's right - the second chances are gone. Once all eight contestants step foot inside this house, there are only two options: stay in the game, or say goodbye forever. This small space has its own hidden surprise, to come later...

And now the proper entrance to the house itself! Grand doors to enter a grand house, the house for eight veteran contestants to battle for that elusive victory, that final glory in this game, this game of Two Houses that now become one....

Coming inside, to the immediate right is two staircases, first, but underneath a second storey is the dining room. 

Styled in darker colours with gold finish, the dining room for the Merge House is stylistically quite different - plants, real plants! are the backdrop. Here, the contestants will hopefully will make their way down from the kitchen, which is...stunningly upstairs, overlooking the rest of the house. 

Natural light is a central focus of the main arena of the Merge House, and the kitchen is illuminated by it during the day. Unfortunately, in cloudier days like today, the kitchen tends to feel...less. But the atmosphere shouldn't be unexpected for a show like this. Pressures are grey, and cloudy. The kitchen is both an advantage point, and a danger zone. 

Coming downstairs, we have a small seating area. Reminiscent of a movie theatre, this seating area could become a hub for alliance chatter, or an observation point for one houseguest to gaze upon another, mulling over the possibility of sending them home the next week...

But down below is not a pleasant sight. Down below, the stench of the Have-Not room is well-contained, wafting only in the noses of the unlucky contestants forced to spend their nights down here, in the filth. They even have a toilet, to do their stinky business in. Have-Nots, too, will eat only slop and must endure less than comfortable living conditions. 

Back upstairs, here is one of the many bathrooms in the house. This smaller, single-toilet bathroom is in the central hub of the house, and therefore is easy to access. Bathrooms are really not that exciting. 

Coming back out, we head now towards one of the two communal bedrooms. The first, shared by the members of the original first house, is just beyond these doors...

It is the Spa Room. Decked out for the contestants to relax and rejuvenate, but mostly only while they sleep. There is a yoga mat, however, for those interested. And if in the middle of the bedroom is too crowded, it can be moved to wherever in the house suits! The Spa Bedroom will hopefully be relaxing...unless you face the chopping block. 

Through the next door is their bathroom, nothing too exciting back here but I better mention there are extra bathrooms so no one at home starts to panic. Plenty of toilets in the house, I'll assure you. Maybe not enough showers, but oh well. Almost had one in the backyard. 

Heading to the other side of the main area, another bedroom is behind these doors. What will the theme be? This is for the second house contestants - Mysti, Ben, Grape, and...Devra, of course. How will the contestants react when she returns to the game? Find out soon. For now...second bedroom! 

Beach theme! Get ready to go swimming, play in the sand, watch out for shakes, and then unwind all over again! Another four beds, two beach towels to sunbathe in the summer sun, and of course just beyond that door, another bathroom! Yippee! 

Back in the main area, the central hub, down the corridor, past the bedrooms...are you bored yet? No? Good. Here, we have the bar. Sit down on a stool, make yourself a drink, we don't have a bartender...this area, something we didn't have in the last house, should be a welcome change for the housemates. 

The lounge room. Not much else to say about it. The evictions will take place here. Contestants dress up all fancy to say goodbye to each other. 

Now what do we have behind here? A staircase! Impossible! More bedrooms, noo, surely not! I think you know what we have lurking behind these doors, and up the staircase...

.

.

.

The Head of Household bedroom. Styled in Hollywood style, the HoH room separates into three unique styles underneath that umbrella - the bedroom, of early beginnings and the so-called glamour of a rising star, and then...

The viewing platform is an interesting position to be. You become a director, gazing down upon the actors and the players in your control. The viewing platform reminds me of a set, with products, cameras, lights, markings on the floor...this is your centre of control in the Head of Household bedroom. 

And through this door...

The celebrity gold-status bathroom. The royal bathroom. Golden. Extravagance. Here, the Head of Household will feel like a superstar. Or end up feeling uncomfortable with the toilet in the centre of the room. 

Now, back downstairs, beyond the living room...

The courtyard. Pastel and grey, the courtyard is a place for the contestants to relax, or to play some foosball, or to garden, perhaps? A beautiful garden and pillows to sit amongst it. A lovely place to sit. 

Now we enter the latter half of the house. A small sitting room, at first, for the contestants to chat about their alliances, the challenges, each other, and that beautiful prize at the end of the rainbow. The door you see at the end leads into the backyard. 

But before we go outside, down the hall we go. Three doors, and a library at the end of the hall, quite nice, a place for the contestants to debrief and maybe read a book and  - what is that? Is that? 

Is that a cat? 

Indeed. I'd like to introduce you all to Uno. The merge house cat. A beautiful Maine Coon, Uno is quite the cutie. He'll be hanging around for the rest of the season, so I hope you all end up loving him. 

Say hello, Uno! 

He's a little weird at the moment. He's alone, is all. 

Now, through the door down the end of the hall...

The laundry! Styled to remind you of a dorm, a very small space, with a rainbow flag because I really wanted to find a spot for it. It's a tight space in here, but it has perks. Contestants can use the windows behind to spy in on others, and there's an aquarium, for fishies. So, the laundry isn't so boring after all.  

And now, the next door....

.

The Diary Room! Ghosts! 

You recall what this room is for. 

I wonder how it will be used this time around. 

Now, heading back to the main area of this half of the house, we head towards these doors, leading outside into the backyard. Wow, what a convoluted sentence, my god. Outside, yes! Let's go! 

Let's go, outside. 

Yes. Come on, camera people. 

It's a little dreary today, isn't it? I'm afraid I can't change that much, but I do hope you like the look of the backyard. It's quite nice, with a pool, barbeque area, lounges, a basketball hoop, a pond, fountains - not a lot is missing, perhaps a place for the contestants to run around like chickens without their heads? Maybe that. But these contestants aren't ones to run around, quite frankly. 

We have one last section of the house, through these doors. Just past the pond and the basketball court, a secluded section of the house, with a few secrets of its own. Let's go see, shall we? 

A hot tub room! There was no room in the backyard, to my dismay, so we built a separate room for the hot tub in here! Terrific, the contestants will love it. 

An exercise room, something I also thought would be necessary after half a season sitting on their asses, doing almost nothing - what, just spilling the truth. This room is perfect for your workout needs, with treadmills on show, and more, hidden...

A SAUNA! It also functions as a second diary room...not kidding. 

And another bathroom, because the contestants may need to pee in this area of the house, and it's much easier than having to race across like most of the house to do so. Look, I almost forgot about having a bathroom out here, but thankfully my brain kicked in and I thought, "god, this house is excessive but it's missing enough bathrooms". 

And the final room to be explored...

Little disappointing, I'm afraid. Just the competition room. 

Many a competition will likely happen in here. It's a more permanent structure too, not like the shoddy job back at the other houses. 

So that is the house tour. Time for the contestants to arrive. 

Here we go, folks at home. Time to meet your merge house contestants. 

KT!: Ohmigosh, I just got here. 

KT!: This is it, alright. The merge. Wow. 

Can you believe it, everyone? 

Oh wait, I'm the first one. 

Dang. 

KT!: The house is quite nice so far...I might wait for everyone else before I go exploring, I think. Yeah. 

Come on...who's coming in next? 

Mysti: I'm here, yo. 

KT!: Ohmigosh, I've never seen you before! Sorry, sorry, that was rude...like, you weren't with me in the other house, so...you must be from the second house! 

Mysti: Hey...why'd we have to be the second house? 

KT!: Oh, uh - 

Mysti: No, no, I tease - sorry. It's fine. 

You must be the first one in, so I guess...I guess you can call yourself the first house...mate! Haha. I'm silly...and kinda dead. 

KT!: Huh? 

Mysti: Uh...nothing. Sometimes my breathing sounds like words. Sorry. 

KT!: Oh. I totally get that! 

Mysti: Sorry, I didn't say my name! I'm Mysti, I was on...a reality show, like you were on, likely. Yeah, we're veterans. I was an actor, too, before that...uh, yeah, hey! 

KT!: Hey! Neat! I'm KT! It's, like, a stagename, because I'm a world-known singer and all, I have a fantastic voice...but I don't like to brag too much, I'm pretty down to earth, or at least...I hope so, you know. 

Someone just shut my mouth, please. 

Mysti: Talk all you want, sister! 

KT!: Oh...okay! Hehe. 

Tybalt: Woah, quite different from the last house. 

Interesting. 

Tybalt: KT! is here already, and...someone else...is that? No...it couldn't be...hmm, I'll ask her about it later...

Mysti: So, tell me, KT!...who do we hate from your house? 

KT!: Hate? Hate!? I don't hate any of them! 

Mysti: How about I reword it...who can we target early on? 

KT!: Who says we won't just go after you and your squad? 

Mysti: Fair enough. I was interested in an alliance, of sorts. 

KT!: I think I'll have to get back to you, Mysti! 

Grape: Here we go again. 

Mysti: My my! 

Grape: Omg, thank god, Mysti is in here already. 

Mysti: You had Marsha with you for a little bit, how crazy. But...but you got rid of her too, dang. She's a bit of an oddball, she is - 

KT!: Like so weird! And she thinks she can sing! 

Oh wait I was her friend - 

Mysti: Who did you end up having...Carlito, I assume? 

Grape: Hey, girls! 

Mysti: Grapey! You made it! 

Grape: Of course I made it, you kept me around...and, oh my! Is this...is this KT! Oh, hey, let me introduce myself...I'm Grape Wisteria - 

KT!: I can't believe I'm meeting Grape Wisteria! 

The fifth contestant enters the merge house...

Skye: And another challenge begins...start fresh, maybe, Skye...after that betrayal you committed with Carlito...

Skye: Oh sweet, sweet bar - how heavenly it is to see an escape from the bickering of contenders for the crown? I won't have anything strong...just something to get me through the day, I think...

Ben: I'm here! Oh boy! Yay! 

I can't stop talking! Help me! 

Grape! Yay, there he is! 

Mysti: Ben! Where are you going? 

KT!: Another from your secondary house! What's his name? Glenn? 

Mysti: It's Ben. He and Grape are...climbing trees together, wink - 

Grape: Mysti! 

Ben: Ah, it's good to sit down again. 

And in a new house, oh boy! 

And, finally, here comes Rebecca Pierce...

Rebecca: I'm so exhausted...being in two reality shows at once is tough work, you know. 

Oh, and I'm pregnant, let's not forget that. 

Maybe I'll start showing one day, hmm. 

Skye: Hey, Rebecca! Come have a drink with me?

Rebecca: I literally just said I was pregnant, did you not - oh wait, you're not a viewer, I probably didn't say it loud enough over there. Sorry, Skye! 

Skye: All good - a drink? 

Rebecca: *she shakes her head* No. 

Rebecca: Let's explore this bitch. 

Rebecca: I found the diary room, y'all! Oh wow, it's so much brighter than the last house, and the ghosts - I dig it. 
So, I've made it...we've made it, to the final, what, how many are there of us? Maybe seven, eight? The final half of the season, and I'm so pumped. I can snag a win in here, and take it home to Aaron, and shove it in his face, because that dude could never win a reality show! 
Sorry...I don't know what came over me. 

Ben: Ooh! A kitty! 

Here, kitty, kitty...

Uno: Meow. 

Ben: Do you have a name, cute kitty? 

*Uno strides into the courtyard* 

Ben: Oh okay...guess we'll have to work up to conversations then, kitty. For now, I will call you kitty. One day, you will love me. 

I know it. 

Mysti: I don't even know how I'm reading this...it's so dang dark in here, where are the lights? 

Uno: meow meow, meow. 

Mysti: Oh, is that right? We rely on the sun? Okay. 

Thanks, friend. 

Uno: Meow. 

Grape: It's so nice to meet you, KT! I've been a fan, and I remember watching you on The Mole. How are you? 

KT!: I'm amazing, Grape! I'm a massive fan of you! I was rooting for you, I'm always rooting for you! 

Grape: I can't wait to get to know you more. 

KT!: Oh god, the same! 

Ben: There you are, kitty. 

You are one hard kitty to track down. 

Uno likes to nap. He should be fairly easy to find, when he's napping.  

Grape: Hey there! I don't think we've met! I'm Grape, and you are...you must be Rebecca, then? Nice to meet you. 

Rebecca: Yep...I'm Rebecca...how did you know? 

Grape: KT! told me, she sorta introduced me to you all from the first house, you, and Skye, and Tybalt, and...herself, of course! Don't worry - she didn't say anything too scandalous, haha! 

Rebecca: Well, you're my enemy in this game, so I'd prefer if she stopped telling you stuff about me - 

Grape: Oh okay...well, it was nice to meet you. 

Rebecca: I'd be worried, myself. 

Grape: There's no need - yep, she's gone now. 

KT!: Aww, no, Grape, you're sitting all alone. 

Grape: Well...Rebecca was here, but, I guess I annoyed her, because she got defensive and left...in character for her? 

KT!: She likes playing the game, is all. She probably sees this house as people on her side, from the past, and new threats. Give her time. 

Grape: Not eating anything, KT? 

KT!: I ate before, Grape! I'm all good, just thirsty. 

Grape: Ah, sorry. 

KT!: No, no, it's fine, hehe. 

KT!: It's quite refreshing, whatever this is, hehe. I like it, I think I'll have to have more every so often, maybe not every day, that might be too much, but...we'll see, I guess. I'm gonna be here a while, so I have plenty of time to try out new things - like Rebecca said there's a hot tub out back! 

Grape: Speaking of Rebecca...

Rebecca: Hey, Grape. Sorry about earlier. 

Grape: Oh - it's fine, really. I get it. 

Rebecca: My mood can...change, very fast. 

Grape: I can understand that quite well. 

.

.

Skye: So, new kid, how about it? 

Ben: How...how about what? 

Skye: Oh, right, I forgot we had another conversation after - I'm talking about the alliance! You're my new final two deal, yeah? Come on - 

Ben: I'm not sure - 

Skye: It's a new house, which means it is a new day for this game, a new chance to form alliances that will help you get to the end.

Ben: Yeah? 

Skye: Think of us together. I have some allegiance with my side, you probably have some with your side...we can dominate. We can get to the end.  

Ben: What if I told you I already had a final two deal, and didn't want to risk jumping ship in case you pulled me under? 

Skye: Interesting...

Ben: Nothing against you, you seem...you seem great, really, but...is now the time I take risks, or is now the time I strengthen myself so I don't end up gone in this first week? 

Skye: You make some valid points, new kid - 

Skye: But I'm afraid that answer will not satisfy me. You best be warned, new kid. If I find myself in power this week, you will be my target, and I will align myself with someone so unexpected...you will have no hope. 

Ben: Oh, I didn't realise my sister was here - 

Skye: No time for jokes, ex-new kid. 

KT!: Why are you two almost wearing the same jacket? Are you chilly? 

Rebecca: It kinda is in here, KT! 

Mysti: Yeah, I'd say so...and that's odd, coming from me. 

KT!: Haha, oh well, this place must not be warmed up enough yet. 

Grape: Who do you think is gonna have to sleep in that filthy area down there? 
KT!: It has to be Have-Nots! But...I guess we'll have to wait for the competition to find out them, surely. 
Rebecca: I don't want to go down there, let alone sleep down there - 
Mysti: I think I could stomach it. 

Devra: Did you miss me? 
Grape: Oh I recognise that voice - 
Mysti: DEVRA! Thank god, I thought I killed you off -
Devra: You didn't think I was gone for good, did you? 

Rebecca: We haven't met...I'm Rebecca...and I take it you're De- Debra, and you were evicted last from the other house, was it? 
Mysti: Her name isn't Debra - 
Rebecca: Did I hear wrong? 

Devra: You did. Hello, I am Devra, Princess of Eden. 
Rebecca: A real life princess? 
Devra: Yes, indeed I am. 
Rebecca: Nice to meet you, Devra. 

Grape: I should've known you'd be back! It's so great to see you again, Devra! 
Mysti: My week as Head of House was almost useless, then...that's something to celebrate, in this case! 
Grape: Definitely! 

Devra: Oh! Hello, Grape! Good to see you! 
Grape: It's been too long...what, like a day! 

Tybalt: Another contestant? Fantastic. 

Grape: Now the sides are even. Four from our house, four from theirs. We've gotta win the first challenge - you can compete, yeah? Hopefully. We have to win it, and then we can pick from them - 
Devra: Game talk so fast, Grape, goodness! Let me get used to the new house. 
Grape: Oh right, sorry, sorry - 

Devra: Let me relax, and then we shall plot the demise of the other house. 

.
.

KT!: Is that you back there, Skye? 

Skye: Uh...yep, uh huh. 

KT!: Careful, you'll get an addiction. 

Skye: Never. Not me. 

KT!: Oh...okay. 

Tybalt: We can take them down, the others. 
Rebecca: You've been awfully focused today. You want this real bad, don't you? 
Tybalt: What can I say? The new threats are alerting my senses - 
Rebecca: I wouldn't call them threats...

Rebecca: Say, Tybalt - final two deal, for you and I? 
Tybalt: I couldn't think of anything more logical. 
Rebecca: We can talk later about who goes first, but any thoughts right now?
Tybalt: Easy. The new girl. 

Grape: It's fantastic Devra is back here, and it's fantastic to be here, in this new, beautiful house, with old friends, and new potential friends...but...I guess I can be worried Devra will forsake us for the other side. We may not have targeted her, we didn't want her gone but...it's a fresh start, this place, and maybe she wants more promise of sticking around...because she knows sooner or later we'll get rid of her again. 

Grape: Mysti...I'm worried Devra could be a threat. 
Mysti: Wait...really? She should be loyal to us. 
Grape: Should be. Doesn't have to be. Who knows. We got rid of her. 
Mysti: Grape...try not to stress. Devra trusts us. Not them. 

The girls are crowding around Ben...perhaps they don't know of his thing for Grape yet? 
Ben: Maybe I should have a drink...Skye, can you make me something? 
Skye: Oh, sure sure, new kid. 
Ben: Thank youuuu! 

Devra: You called me in for a meeting? I did not realise I did something wrong, or that the country was in danger - 

Grape: Good god it feels like you're a million miles away, who thought this table was a good idea? Sorry...we wanted to just check in on you...no, that's not the right words for it...it's just a chat, really. 
Mysti: Exactly! Just a chat! 
Devra: I told you I didn't want to talk strategy just yet, Grape - 

Devra: You know I am loyal to you both - 
Grape: And that's what we like to hear, but...we just want to ask you what you're thinking about this new situation. 
Mysti: Not out of worry, no - just a chat. 

Devra: Well...why not abandon ship and go mingle with the enemy, huh? 
Grape: Oh, uh - 
Mysti: I mean we're not saying you can't talk to them. 

Devra: I am kidding, of course. So far, none of them have talked much to me, so why would I want to bother with them? If they came with a good deal, would I take it? I...I would likely want to talk to the both of you first, of course. I am not in any position to blindside either of you. Satisfying talk? 

Devra: Do I harbour some disdain towards my old friends from the second house? Of course. I was sent out of the game because of them, so of course I can be bitter. Am I going to team up with the enemy just to spite them? They are weak if they think so. I am allied with them, but they seem to distrust that...I hope they can wake up soon enough and realise I mean business, and this is my second chance to say so. 

Devra: There you go, fishy-fishes. 
Enjoy. 

KT!: Devra, hey, princess. Can I call you Princess Devra, or is that offensive to royalty? What about Your Highness? 
Devra; In capacities like this, I prefer simply 'Devra'. We are friends, after all, and I am not in court, nor do I have my tiara. How can I help you? 
KT!: Do you want any popcorn? 
Devra: I am...alright, thank you. 

Ben: Okay, Ben...everything will be okay...Skye is just all talk...your sister is nowhere near here...okay, breathe in and out again...okay...

Grape: I like this new house a lot, hey - what do you think, Ben? 
Ben: It's so massive! And so cool! 
Grape: Yeah! And the style is so different from the old house, but...it still feels like the old house, in some ways. I like that. 
Ben: And...and we have a house cat now, Uno. I like him. 

Grape: He's a real cutie - and Uno, is that his name? How'd you find out? 
Ben: I asked in the diary room. They told me Uno. Fitting, hey? 
Grape: So fitting! 
Ben: I give him all the cuddles and hugs when I can. Makes me miss Doro more, but at least I have Uno now. 

Grape: I'll have to meet this Doro when we're out of this house, at the end - 
Ben: Cause we're gonna win this? Hell yeah! 
Grape: Can I...can I ask you something, Ben? Can we go in the hot tub tonight? 
Ben: I think I'd love that, Grapey. 

Grape: Aw, yay! 
Mysti: Oh my, Grape is gonna win! You better watch out, Ben! Watch the ball! 
Ben: Mysti, don't distract me! 
Mysti: Oh, sorry, just passing through. Sorry, sorry, don't let me help Grape win. Oh no, sorry. 

Ben: Mysti's kidding herself. I'm so gonna win this. 
Uno: Meow, meow. 
Ben: Awww, do you want hugs, Uno? 
Uno: Meow. 

Grape: It's nice and warm in here...why was this not the diary room? It should be, god, it's so nice in here.
Go next door, Grape, and you'll find your toasty diary room. 

Ben: You look comfortable in there. 
Grape: Ben, you came. I was worried you chickened out. 
Ben: Chickened out? On you? Never. 
Grape: Hmm...I don't know if I'd say never - kidding! Get in here. 

Grape: Comfortable? Ben - 
Ben: Just letting the water lap at me. I needed this. 
Grape: Good - I mean, it's good that you're relaxing. I wish we had this back at the other house, maybe we wouldn't have felt so bad saying goodbye to some of those people. 
Ben: We always would have felt bad...

Grape: I know, but - 
Ben: I'm sorry...let's not talk about that stuff, yeah? I just want to think of the future, Grape, you know? We...we're here, in this house, and - 
Grape: I know. It's amazing. 
Ben: It is. It's amazing. Uno is so cute. 

Ben: There's everything we could want in this house! It's almost...almost too good to be true, Grapey...I wonder if they're about to announce we have to really fight for our place in here - 
Grape: But we do have to fight for our place - 
Ben: No, no, I meant like...otherwise we end up all in that pit, looking up at what we could have, but we failed. 

Grape: That's depressing. 
Ben: But it would be a smart move to make things more dramatic. The contestants scrambling for their chance to stay in the game, yes, but now, scrambling to stay in a comfy bed, with a working toilet, with a cute kitty...
Grape: Uno can't go down stairs? 
Ben: That would be silly of him. 

Grape: I don't want to believe something like that is about to happen. Hold on, I'm gonna come around and sit beside you. 
Ben: Oh okay, Grapey - 
Grape: I don't want to constantly talk the game with you, is all. 
Ben: Yeah, I know - 

Grape: And I'm getting a little sleepy...
Ben: Huh - ohhh, right. 
Grape: Oh, it's so good to stretch, don't you think? 
Ben: Yep, uh huh. Hehe. 

Grape: Sure, we're back to eight again, we probably don't get to be alone together as much, but...well, I'm just glad we're both still around. 
Ben: Yeah, of course, Grapey. 
Grape: We should organise a picnic, just the two of us. A little cute date, in this cute backyard. 
Ben: Yeah! 

Grape: I do really like you, Ben. 
Ben: I do too. I'm really not kidding around. 
Grape: Oh thank god, hehe. 
Ben: You're so grapey. 

Mysti: What is this, an all-female alliance forming? 
Rebecca: Something like that. A trio of powerful women talking, at first, and then we see where it goes. I'd be up for working with the pair of you. I think Skye needs to go first, and the both of you could help me get rid of her. 
Mysti: How about we take this inside? 

Devra: Oh, fantastic idea, Mysti. 

Mysti: I thought so. The water is so warm and nice. It's...it's perfect, in here. 

Rebecca: Couldn't agree more. 

Mysti: Back to business talk then? 

Devra: That can come later, Mysti, I just want to bathe in this warm, wonderful water. It is so holy, sitting here. Oh my, I do not think I shall leave here, ever. 
Mysti: My my, Devra, she's in love. 
Rebecca: Sure beats only having a shower back in the other house. 
I needed something like this, and the pool. 

Mysti: So, back to the topic of Skye - the one with the hat, yeah? 
Rebecca: That's her. 
Mysti: It's early, so it's the perfect time to start forming opinions of the people I hadn't met. Like you, and like Skye. I don't really have anything to say for keeping her around. 
Rebecca: And neither do I. A happy coincidence. 

Mysti: The more people we can align with, the more chance we have not only to win the challenge, but to get rid of who we want out in this, sort of do-over Week 1, though, what is it actually? 
Devra: Week Six, I do believe. 
Mysti: Okay, thank you, week six. We have a bold new chance. 
Rebecca: Certainly. 

Devra: My, is it getting hotter in here, or am I merely mistaken? 
Rebecca: I like you already, Mysti. Did you have much control back in the other house? Or were you a floater? 
Devra: Did she have power? She got rid of me last week. 
Mysti: It's true. I was head of household...last week. 

Mysti: And you, Rebecca? What did it look like back there for you? 
Rebecca: I mostly kept under the radar. I wasn't quite the threat, I rarely got nominated. But things could change. You'd say? 
Mysti: Things always have the chance to change. 
Devra: Like this heat. Someone turn it down! 

Mysti: You right down there, Rebecca? 
Rebecca: I was feeling tense. Thought I'd just do some sit-ups. 
Mysti: Ah yeah, fair enough. 
Thank you for the chat, Rebecca. 
Rebecca: Anytime, girl. 

Two Houses: Season 2, Veteran Edition will continue after this short ad break...

 Izzy: Hey, thanks for sitting down to talk - I have an idea. 
And yeah, I know I always have ideas, crazy ones, it's like part of my brand, but this idea - this one is perfect! I know I can pull it off, but...I just want to bounce it off someone first...sorry, I wanted this filmed too. 

Grape: Oh, it's fine, I don't mind being filmed - fire away, I guess. I like hearing one of Izzy's wild wild ideas. 
Izzy: You're really gonna like this one...I think you'll definitely watch it too. 
Grape: I'm intrigued. 

Izzy: Well, you know I've always wanted to host something...a reality show competition all of my own.
Grape: You don't shut up about it sometimes. 
Izzy: Hey! You don't shut up about being gay! 
Grape: I...I think I do, but okay - 

Izzy: Anyway! I've always wanted to host, after my stint on The Mole, which, you know, really opened me up to being myself, yada yada...I found the perfect idea, and I don't think anyone else could host it, no one else quite like Izzy...you know what I mean. 
Grape: I certainly do, Izzy. So what's this show? 

Izzy: Pitch time. 
You've probably seen the show it's based on, but you've never seen it like Izzy does it...and follow along, because soon enough, this will be all real - 
Grape: I'm listening...

Izzy: Picture it all...and soon enough it will be happening, and you will be amazed at the wonder that is...a show for the gays to finally find true love, or money, or god dang both! 

Izzy: Hey there, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome! My name is Izzy...no last name...look, it's a long story, if you don't know it - lame! Why are you not following me? Hehe, I'm kidding...my name is Izzy, and you're watching the latest ad for....my new reality show! 

Izzy: Welcome...to Gay Love Island. 
And I couldn't have done it without the two dudes beside me...let me introduce Kyle West and Giles Kruger! 
Together, we are the co-hosts...together, we will watch as a slew of gays, men only, sorry lesbians...we will watch them fight, for love or for money? Who will say? 

Giles: Hi there, guys, I'm Giles...you may recognise me from The Mole Season 6, I got decently far...but I'm more familiar with stand-up, I'm a funny guy, I think...haha, maybe not then. I'm here not only to relate to these guys, but to talk to them about whatever could be...frustrating them in the bedroom, or in their romantic pursuits, that sort of thing. I've had enough sex to know what feels good, and what doesn't. 

Kyle: As the only full-fledged gay guy up here, well, I'd say I should be able to understand what these guys will be feeling the best. Giles will no doubt tackle the bedroom stuff, the kissing, the groping, but...if these guys need to talk about what lurks underneath, battling in their heart or in their head...I'm here for them, no matter what. They can come talk to Kyle West, from Abnormality. He's friendly, and desperately single. Haha. 

Izzy: Join me, and my two co-hosts, soon, as we embark on a new challenge, a thrilling companion to the Love Island tv show, because I didn't want to be sued, so I made sure to ask first, and they said...sure, they said I can do the spin-off. It's thrilling, it will be epic, and thrilling. 

Izzy: You know this season will be wild, crazy, epic, exciting, and phenomenal, especially with crazy Izzy around! 

Izzy: Soon, our Vacationers will arrive, and you could be one of them! 
Kyle: The next Gaycationer for this fabulous show! 
Giles: Send in your audition now, and maybe you'll get to see this face, or squeeze this ass, haha...just kidding, to that last bit. 
Y'all wish I was competing. 

Izzy: Coming soon, Gay Love Island with your host, me! Izzy! 

Izzy: And cut! I can say cut, right, because we're definitely done, that take was perfect! 
Cameron the Producer: You can't yell cut - 
Izzy: I've put a lot of - Giles, what? 
Cameron the Producer: I know you put a lot of time into this, but, money? Did you? I can't recall - 

Izzy: What's so funny, Giles? I can replace you, babe - 
Giles: No, no, it's just an idea I had for a joke, for my stand-up...hey, I want this job just as much as you do. 
Izzy: Okay - good. I do want to keep you around. I like you, Giles. 
Giles: Yeah, me too. 

Kyle: You know...what if I was on this show, sometimes I wonder that...like could I find love, or money...something like that. 
Izzy: You're a co-host, Kyle, isn't that enough? 
Kyle: Oh it's...it's amazing...I'm just lonely, sometimes. 

Izzy: Well, I'm going to go sit down, take these shoes off. My feet are killing me! Can someone help me? Giles - 
Giles: Girl, you can take your own shoes off - 
Izzy: Rude. Cameron - 
Cameron: Yeah, I can - 
Izzy: Fetch one of the handsome camera guys for me? 

Giles: Hey, Kyle...
Kyle: Hey, Giles. What's up?
Giles: I was just wondering what you had planned after this shoot - any plans? 
Kyle: I don't know...probably go home and nap, maybe watch a movie later. I feel like I've neglecting my art recently...

Giles: Oh...I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight, I mean your plans don't really need to change, babe...
Kyle: What, you want to nap with me? Hehe.
Giles: Ohh...I don't think I want you sleeping...I'm not creepy. 
Kyle: Oh I never thought you were...handsome. 

Kyle: Get your hands back here, sexy - 

Giles: Sexy - yeah, you are. 

Kyle: Just shut up and kiss me again. 

Izzy: See? Already my show is finding love. It's incredible, the power of my words, the power of reality television, the power of the gays! 
Come now, and secure your place in the sexiest show on earth, or otherwise find the cha-ching you so desperately long for. 
I'm Izzy, and they kept rolling the cameras, I guess they predicted the gays would hook up.

Izzy: Gay Love Island with Izzy, coming soon! 

___________________

[Week 6 - To Be Continued....right now!] 

Welcome back! As always, this is Two Houses, and we last settled into the first night in the merge house...let's check back in on the contestants, shall we? 
See what they're up to at this late time, when rain tumbles down from the skies....

 Uno: meow
I love this cute kitty. Though he's definitely not big enough. He's a Maine Coon. Have I mentioned that? He's supposed to be a big boy. 
Uno: meow. meow. 

 

 Tybalt rose early in the morning, hungry, I suspect. Oh wait no I think he needs to use the toilet first, which is why we're  -

In the bathroom! 
Okay...I'll leave him to it. 
Who else is awake this early? I can hear footsteps all the way across the other side of the house, in the other bedroom! 

 Grape: I am hangry. 

 Tybalt: Oh - morning, Grape, I didn't expect anyone to be up so early. 
Grape: Aha, I could say the same to you. Good morning, Tybalt.
How'd you sleep? 
Tybalt: I think we can both answer that. 
Grape: I woke up craving popcorn, too. 

 Tybalt: There is something about this popcorn, it's - 
Grape: Incredibly addictive! I know right. 
Tybalt: I was going to say there's so much butter you get lost in it...
Grape: Drown me in butter! Why not! 

 Ben: I am hangry. 

 Skye: Out of the way, I want popcorn - 
Grape: Tybalt, more?! You already had a bowl! 
Tybalt: Hehe, it's good stuff - 
Skye: Then give me some...please, pretty please? 

Rebecca: Time to seize the day, again, hey Rebecca? 
You see, our heroine, Rebecca Pierce, had always been confident she would seize her days...sorry, I got ahead of myself. 
Let's let Rebecca not feel so camera-in-my-face. 

Bad Uno, no. 

Devra: I keep waiting for this Head of Household competition, and I fear it may never come, and we will be stuck here in this merge house forever, waiting for an answer of what will become of us. A princess, a berry, a celebrity, a-whatever-the-others are...one will win, the rest will lose. A challenge needs to happen soon enough, we're getting restless, everyone woke up expecting it to happen right away, everyone woke up angry and hungry and what they call hangry...I hope it happens in a moment, that challenge. 

KT!: Lemme eat my baked potato. 

Ben: Where is more food at? 
Devra: Everyone is so hungry this morning, ah! 
Ben: And I had to put a shirt on this morning, gah! I just wanted to be shirtless and sexy, but ah, alas! I'm angry and I wanted to wear this cute shirt too! 
I'm angry and hungry and hangry! 
Devra: So I have heard...

.
.

Rebecca: Tybalt! I think I'm better now, less distraught. 
Tybalt: Good to hear. Emotions have been turned right up this morning, almost like someone spiked our food last night...do you feel like talking game? 
Rebecca: I, uh...I hope we weren't spiked, ya know - 

Tybalt: Have some time to talk? 
Rebecca: Oh, uh, sorry Tybbs, but I've got to go, uh...I already promised I'd go talk to Skye, after I give Uno belly scratches. You know me, always busy, constantly hopping from one show to another...ha...
Tybalt: Oh, right...we'll talk later then? 

Rebecca: Of course - see ya around, Tybalt! 
Tybalt: Uh, yep...will do, I will see you around...
Let's hope not as you are sent home at the end of the week. 
Rebecca: What was that, Tybbs? 

Tybalt: Nothing much, really, just wanted to tell you to give Uno the scratches for me, you know how I, uh...don't go around cats very often. 
Rebecca: Yeah, okay, I will - 
Tybalt: Talk later, Rebecca! 

.
.

Ben: I do appreciate this random umbrella I found out here in one of the cupboards over there near the barbeque - are you two okay in the rain? It's a little stupid, isn't it? 

KT!: If I catch pneumonia, I can tweet about it. 
Tybalt: What she said, yep. 
Ben: But...basketball, in this weather? And so far from the hoop? 
Tybalt: What do you mean, Benjamin? 

Ben: Tybalt, you'd never make a shot, or you'd hit KT! in the head, either way - no one will be happy, I'm afraid. And you could be closer, if you wanted. Nothing's in the way. I think the rain is clearing up...
KT!: So, perfect, no pneumonia for me! 
Tybalt: I'll take a shot and prove you wrong, Ben - 

Skye: I wish I could wipe them all clean and win this darn thing - 
CAN THE CONTESTANTS REPORT OUTSIDE, THANKS. WE'RE TAKING THE CHALLENGE TO...THE BEACH! 
after literally trying several different challenge ideas...ugh. 
Skye: This is no outfit for the beach! Excuse me for a sec! 

.
.
.

Ben: Looks like it's still raining, huh? 
Devra: Oh, that would be what this sensation on my arm is, Ben, thank you for stating the blatantly obvious - 
Ben: No! KT! and Tybalt thought I was stupid - 
KT!: I'd never say something like that, silly! 

Mysti: You guys didn't wait for me...I had to fix my shoes. 
Rebecca: Oh...sorry about that, new roommate friendo, I've gotta get used to us being a bigger group again. 
Mysti: Yeah...I might just kill more people now, we don't know - 
Grape: Okay! The challenge is fishing, we've been told! 

Ben: I'm gonna beat you so hard in this challenge, Tybalt - 
Tybalt: I don't think I'm the one you should be nailing hard - 
Ben: Oi - Tybalt! Shut up...
Tybalt: Just sayin'. 

KT!: Come on, Rebecca, no slowing down now! 
Mysti: She'll catch up - 
Rebecca: No, I don't wanna. 
KT!: Come on, Rebecca! Your pregnancy is barely showing...

Rebecca: Okay, I'm here for the fishing then. 
Grape: Be excited! We don't get much outside of the house - 
Rebecca: Our house had field trips every week - 
KT!: No we didn't - oh my gosh! A fish! 

Mysti: There isn't room for me to fish. 
Grape: Really? You can squeeze in beside me, Mysti! 
Mysti: No. 
Rebecca: Guess she'll have to wait. 

KITTY! Can we have it? It can be Uno's friend, though I suppose then Uno wouldn't be the uno cat, and it'll through everything off - I guess we'll have to let you roam free, cute stray kitty. You are adorable. Have a blessed life. 

Rebecca: You get to fish now, ain't it terrific? 
Mysti: Did someone murder you in a film studio this morning? You're a grump. 
Rebecca: I...I wasn't murdered, jeez no. I just...I woke up on the wrong side of things, and standing out in the rain till I caught a fish isn't the dream fix. 
Mysti: You better hope the fish bite soon then. 

- Back at the House - 

Grape: Any dirty plates out here - holy hell! 
KT!: Yeah...I don't know what happened. 

Grape: Who had a party when - no, the food smells horrible, did someone have a party when we were sleeping? Gosh, it's bad. 
KT!: I don't know what happened - don't shoot the messenger! 
Grape: I'm not - I'm not shooting anyone! 
KT!: Oh I always forget someone almost deaded you...

--

The challenge is now over, and the fish have been safely transported in their little fish cars from the ocean to these fish bowls, little sad but we'll give them new permanent homes after this, remember that aquarium we have in the laundry? Anyway - one of these fish is the winning fish. Who caught the winning fish? 

It's not this one, it just looks cool. Devra caught this one  - Devra is not the new Head of Household. Nor is KT!. One of the other contestants is. Who will it be? 

The fish resides in one of these three bowls. Who caught the fish for these bowls, you ask? Ben, Skye, and Tybalt did. One of those three will be the next Head of Household. Who will it be...

.
.
.
.
.

Ben: Ahhh...nothing beats steam to make you less angry. 
No, I'm not surprising you, Ben didn't win. 
I'm just drawing out the reveal. 
It'll come later. Mwahaha. 

Ben: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Someone has entered the Head of Household room/penthouse/literally a two-storey apartment without a kitchen. Do you recognise those feet? I realise it really couldn't be anyone beyond who it is, but here's a drawn out reveal..

.

.
.

Skye: WhO WAnTs tO sEE My HOH rOoM?! 

Skye: (v/o) I have awaited another win since my last win, and here I am, succeeding in fishing. I can knock out someone else I want gone, and not knowing half of them, I have options....this week will be interesting, I can't support my side of the house, and we'll be one step closer to winning the whole entire thing! Mwahahahah! 
It was worth backstabbing Carlito. 

Skye: I had high hopes coming into this merge that I would dominate, and so far I have, that fishing challenge was so easily mine. I will win this game, and I will prove to Carlito that he is a sloppy baby and that his win was a fluke. Thank you, and goodnight, I'll be back in my new bedroom now. 

Skye: I can see you, housemates. You best be scared. 
Okay - sleep time now. 

- The Next Day - 

 

Rebecca: What are you doing...yoga? 
KT!: Wakey wakey eggs and bakey, Rebecca! 
Rebecca: What - no, I'm sleeping still. 
KT!: No, you're talking to me - 
Rebecca: *dramatic* zzzzzzzz

 

Tybalt: Peace and quiet...

 

Grape: Uno...what are you doing over there, kitty? Why is there - oh no! Kitty, stay away! Come play basketball with me, Uno! 

Uno: Meow, meow. 
Grape: That's stinky, Uno! 
Uno: meow. 

Grape: Uno - 

Grape: That's stinky trash, Uno, not a playground. Come on, I give your hugs, after we bathe you...who left stinky out anyone? I bet it was someone from the other house...no, that's not very nice, blaming them...come on, Uno! 

Uno: meow. 

Grape: You're a cheeky kitty, Uno. 
Uno: meow, meow. Meow. 
Grape: Imma clean that trash up now. Stinky. 

Rebecca: Don't let the clown picture make you feel worse, Rebecca. No. Bad. Bad clown picture. Ugh, I'm talking to myself again. 
I'm going insane, huh. 
It's this house. It's this world. 
I'm dang pregnant. 

Rebecca: My face is red and fat. I need more sleep, but then KT! is up early doing yoga, for some reason, I guess cause we have a yoga mat randomly in our bedroom and she can't be bothered moving it into, I don't know, any other room! I need to go eat something. My face is red, and fat. 

Ben: I'm angry again. Don't ask.
The sauna didn't help today. 
I hear I could be nominated today, huh. 

It is time for the nomination ceremony. 
All housemates will begin moving to the dining room, where Head of Household Skye will deliver the news of who will face eviction and elimination this week - remember, no more second chances. 

Skye: Thank you all for coming. It is now time I announce who is on the chopping block this week - one of you will be going home this week, and remember, there are no more second chances - 
THAT'S WHAT I SAID! 
Skye: I wish I did not have to nominate anyone, but then I'd be a boring HoH, so haha someone is going home later! With that...

Skye: I have chosen to nominate today...

Skye: Sorry, I'm really enjoying delaying it. I promise I'll actually announce the nominees now, shall I? Okay. 
Today, my nominees are...


.
.
.

Skye: Devra and Grape, unfortunately. I haven't bonded enough with either of you, and this game is about strength and bonds...you know my loyalty lies with the other side of the house, because I am nominating the two of you. Devra, Grape, I am sorry, I will be sorry to see one of you gone. 
Grape: I understand, Skye - I do. 

Rebecca: It's too soon to say goodbye to one of the newbies. 
Devra: We're not newbies...
Rebecca: You know what I mean...I do feel gutted. 
Devra: I am not going out now when I just got back in. 

Ben: But that would mean Grape is going - no! I don't want that. 
Grape: I'm not out yet, Ben - 
Devra: But he could be. Or I could.
Ben: This is rigged! 

Skye: I didn't cheat in what fish I would catch, Ben, just as I didn't rig the challenge so you would catch a piddly little thing that placed you in last - 
Ben: I didn't come last - I was probably this close to winning! 
Skye: That could be the case, Ben. Don't take this out on me - 
Ben: Don't shoot the messenger...gotcha. 

Grape: It's okay, Ben...I can campaign to stay again. 
Devra: As will I. See you on the battlefield, sir Grape. 
Grape: It will be a worthy battle to fight. 

 ____________________

 And now, a quick advertisement break...

 

Announcer: Okay, ladies...line up. 
We'll start with you, number 20. 

.
.

 Diane: "Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
That's what he said, that's what he said
When he proposed he informed my mother
He was probably her very last chance"

Diane: "And though she was twenty-two
Though she was twenty-two 
Though she was twenty-two
She married him"  

 Diane: "Life with my dad was not ever a picnic, 
more like a come as you are" 

Diane: "When I was five, I remember my mother
powdered make-up on my face
I knew I was too young, but it was not
something you were to discuss..." 

 Diane: "He wasn't warm
Well, not to her, 
Well not to us" 

Diane: "But everything was beautiful at the ballet
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet"

 Diane: "Oh...I was happy...at the ballet"
That's when I started class...

 Izzy: "Mother always said I'd be very attractive
when I grew up, when I grew up
"Diff'rent," she said, "with a special something
and a very, very personal flair"

 Izzy: "And though I was eight or nine
Though I was eight or nine
Though I was eight or nine..." 

Izzy: "I hated her." 

Izzy: "Now 'diff'rent' is nice, but it sure isn't pretty
Pretty is what it's about
I never met anyone who was different
Who couldn't figure that out"

 Izzy: "So beautiful I'd never lived to see
But it was clear
If not to her
Well, then to me..." 

Izzy: "That everyone is beautiful at the ballet
Every prince has got to have his swan
Yes...everyone is beautiful... at the ballet"

 Lacey: I don't know what they were for or against, really, except each other. I mean, I was born to save their marriage...

Lacey: But when my father came to pick my mother up from the hospital he said: "Well, I thought this was going to help. But I guess it's not." Anyway - 

Lacey: I did have a fantastic fantasy life. I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this. My fantasy was that it was some big-shot Hollywood director...and he'd say to me, "Lacey, do you wanna be famous?" 

 Lacey: And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to be famous." 
Izzy: But it was clear
Diane: When he proposed...
Lacey: That I was born to help their marriage and when

Diane: That's what he said
Izzy: That's what she said
Lacey: I used to dance around the living room...

Diane: Oh, everything was beautiful at the ballet...
Izzy: I was pretty...I was happy...
Lacey: At the ballet. 

Izzy: Echappe, the fragrance. Out now in selected stores. Smell like the escape of ballet. Smell like the one and only - Izzy. 

_______________________________

We now return to...Two Houses! 

Grape: Oh yuck I didn't realise that was actually a puddle and not some paint to look like a puddle, ugh - I mean credit to the decorators, or did someone just pour a dang bucket of whatever this is down here around the time of the ceremony - anyway, I need to clean my shoes. Please.

 Don't worry it won't kill you. It's just coloured water. 
Grape: Devra, come on. It won't be too bad down here, trust me...yep, there are a bunch of cobwebs, is that a real spider, gross...but we'll manage, it's only a few days down here...

 

 Devra: I already do hate it, Grape. 
Grape: Come on, Devra...give it a second look over - 
Devra: Oh trust me, one look over was enough. This place is terrifyingly disgusting, and you know it. 

 Grape: This bed isn't the worst. We could've just been given metal chairs. 
Devra: I don't ever plan to sleep at the dentist, Grape. 
Grape: Nobody wants to sleep there, but sometimes we have to. When we get out our wisdom teeth, for example, that's kinda like sleeping - 

Devra: Do not talk about losing teeth while we stare at sewage and spiders and stink, oh my! Gosh it smells bad. 
Grape: I reckon it has to be against the law for this to actually be all real and this bad. Has to just be bad deodorant and fake spiders and coloured water - 
Devra: I would not put it past them for this to be real. 

Grape: Well, we call this home for a little bit now. Yay. 
Devra: Home means you love the place you live in, or it could be the people...this is not home, this is a house.
Grape: This is a room underneath everything, Devra. 
Devra: I do not love it. 

 Grape: Devra. 
Devra: Grape? 
Grape: One of us is going home this week. I don't love that. 
Devra: We will face the crowd. They will choose who is queen. 

 KT!: That was a...fair enough nomination ceremony, thank god you didn't spin and nominate Tybalt, or myself, hey! 
Skye: I did what is best for my game, yes. 
KT!: Oh, yep! And I think it won't be too hard to evict one of them at the end of the week, huh, not like back in the first house...oh I miss it, you know. 
Skye: I don't...I don't miss it. 

Rebecca: I, uh, only came to grab the trash and take it out...excuse me, sorry. 
KT!: You feeling alright, Rebecca? You look a little pink. 
Rebecca: I'm okay, yeah...just taking the garbage out. 
Skye: That's the plan for the week, yes. 

Rebecca: God, this garbage stinks. 

Mysti: And that's the laundry on. Time to just sit here and watch it spin round and round, maybe I'll get dizzy, maybe I'll be compelled to hop on inside and it'll wind me up and the clothes will choke me, or the soapy water will drown me...it's very rhythmic, this laundry cycle, interesting to watch, hey? 

And here are the fishies in their new home - well, most of them. A few couldn't actually fit in this aquarium, technically, which is kinda the point of this game, really - not everyone is destined to stay and fit in the house. At the end of the day, people are forcibly evicted. That's life. 

Ben: You can't expect me to abandon Grape - we're in this game, together, Devra, as much as I do want to keep you around - 
Devra: Then you will fight for me, Ben. 
Ben: I can't fight for the both of you! 
Devra: Oh, perhaps...well, you must make the choice - 

Ben: I want to be there to support Grape! 
Devra: My family would oversee tournaments when I was younger - 
Ben: Where is this going? - 
Devra: Let me finish, Ben, please. It is rude to interrupt a lady. 

Ben: Right, sorry - 
Devra: My family would oversee tournaments when I was younger. In the one on one battles, you would pick a side. Would you choose Gregoria the Brave or Haroldia the Great? My family was known for picking the champion early, and standing by him no matter his downfalls. Nevertheless, at one time, they forged an unbreakable bond with Gal the Glorious. He was poised to be champion of the tournament the succeeding day, but the pressures muddled his head, and he leapt from the balcony to his death. For he loved my family too much to disappoint them, so he would disappoint them nevertheless. 

Ben: Are you saying Grape is going to disappoint me no matter what? 
Devra: No. I am saying that your feelings for Grape will cloud your judgement in this game, and you will fall before the season is done. If you stick too close to him, you will not win. 
Ben: It's just too soon to say goodbye to him - 

Devra: Think of it not as a goodbye, nobody is killing Grape this time around. You'll see him on the outside, of course you will, I do see your relationship flourishing - but the pressures of this game will trouble it, and he will leap from the balcony before the tournament has ended. 
Ben: I don't want to believe you - 
Devra: I am fighting for my life, Ben. 

Ben: And I am sweating profusely. 
Devra: It is horrid down here, feels like I might just burst in flames and cause you to burn with me, Ben.
Ben: You're causing me to burn up as it is...
Devra: Give it some thought, will you? 

KT!: Hey, Grape, I have to vote someone out this week...
Grape: You do. Not me I hope. 
KT!: I have to weigh up my options. It's tough, this different experience. I knew everyone back in the first house, first week at least it was fresh, but now...I've got one side I know well, and another side I want to get to know, but one is about to go already...

KT!: But I'm trying to keep a smiling face in case the cameras catch me frowning and publicise it like *deep male voice* "KT! is having a bad day! I wonder if it's because she's headed for the dump as pop star Melrose rises higher in the charts!"
Grape: Gee...I've never heard of Melrose...
KT!: Oh thank god! I'm getting ahead of myself then, hehe, she could steal my crown from me when I'm sleeping, oh she would...

Grape: You could arrest her for that...
KT!: Oh! No, no, I can't, I can just release more of me! 
Grape: Breaking and entering...hehe.
KT!: Omigosh! Hehe, I didn't think of that. You're hilarious, Grape. 

Grape: I'm worried for this eviction. It could be me, or it's going to be Devra, and I...I don't want either option. Devra deserves to be here as much as I do. 
KT!: I don't know what to do...I don't want to be the villain. 
Grape: I know. 
KT!: I'm scared of Skye, Grape...

.
.

Mysti: It's a beautiful day from inside this weird indoor-outdoor area. What's this called again? A courtyard? Something like that. 
I'm sipping my coffee. I'm buzzed. I'm wide awake. 
*ding ding ding - it's song time!* 
Mysti: Oh woah, really? 
No, I'm just kidding. There's no singing yet...

Rebecca: Come on, Rebecca! Push yourself! You're starting to look fat...oh wait I'm pregnant. Right. 

.
.

 

Tybalt: Evening, Uno. 
How are the kids? How's the wife? 
You don't know - oh, you sleaze. You've got the cash? 
We trade. Ready? 
Thanks for you service. 

Tybalt: Time to feed these fishes. 

Meanwhile, in the hot tub...Grape is clearly trying to flirt with someone, right? But who...Ben, are you here also? I don't see him...
Grape's quite the looker, huh. Love this little purple bean...though really, he's not a bean, he's a grape...

Grape: I really needed this after the day I just had. 

KT!: Yeah, totally. It's probably helping you relax, being in the water, just destressing your legs, and I'm here if you need to talk to someone. 
Grape: I do...I haven't been able to get Ben alone a lot recently, he's been, uh...I shouldn't really talk about that with you. 
KT!: No, you can...
Grape: He's just been...angry, recently. 

*the door opens, in comes company* 
Grape: Oh - Ben! Hey! 
KT!: Benjamin! B! We were just talking about you! 
Grape: Oh, yeah, we were...

Ben: All good I hope.
KT!: Grape was just telling me all about his, uh, worry for this week and how if he goes, he won't get to spend more time with you until everything is over. 
Ben: Oh - yeah...that's true, isn't it? 
KT!: It's a scary week for him, but we're here to support, huh? 

Grape: Yeah. 
Ben: I know...I don't want you going, Grapey...
Grape: But I did come in here to not think too much about my incoming doom, if it happens, I do want to relax a little...
Ben: Oh, of course! 

KT!: Besides! You've got two votes in this room, surely! 
Grape: So, you've made up your mind, KT!? 
KT!: I've been chatting with one nominee more than the other...but I guess I better talk to the other side of the house too, watch them gun to get you out this week...
Grape: They could probably recruit Devra easier...

Ben: Gosh it's warm in here - 
Grape: I don't find it bad, not too bad at least. 
KT!: I'm feeling comfortable. I could stay in here all night. 
(she takes forever to get out, it is almost all night) 
Ben: I must just be feeling it then...I might get out. 

KT!: And then there were two...
Grape: You wanna get frisky, KT? 
Ben: Hey...I'm still here, you know - 
Grape: It was a joke, Benny...of course it was. I'm very gay. 

Grape: I think I'll follow him inside, though. Better check up on him, make sure he's okay. Make sure he doesn't think I'm actually trying to make moves on you. I'm sure you'd oppose. 
KT!: You're a very cute grape, but you're gay - not my type, hehe. 
Grape: Aha, noted! 

KT!: I hope things are okay with the two of you, I always root for people who look cute together! And a purple guy looks cute with everyone! 
Grape: I just want to know what's going through his head...he's been acting angrier even before I was nominated. 
KT!: Maybe he's sick of being couped up...
Grape: Who knows...have a good night, KT! 

Ben: Stupid garbage bin, sleeping on the job - that's gonna get you fired. 

Ben: No, you're trash, not me - that's just bullying. 

Skye: So, what do you say? You know why you've been put up, isn't that obvious, so come on - come to the Skye side, you know, like clouds and light and...the sky! Get it? 
Devra: You offer up an interesting opportunity, Skye, but how can I be sure you will not say all this to trick me into thinking I am safe? 
Skye: You can trust me, hopefully more than the people who knocked you out of the game in the first place -

Skye: Oh - good evening, Ben! How are things? 
Ben: Little bit of a public spot to try to skew the house allegiance, isn't it? 
Skye: What do you mean? I've been talking to Devra about horses. 
Devra: Yes, exactly. Now...I am tired. 

Devra: What a shitty day. 
Devra! 
Devra: I have hope that tomorrow will be fruitful. 
Goodnight, Two Houses cameras, please turn away as I sleep. 

 

Grape: Ben was busy, so I guess I'll talk to him in the morning...well, he was asleep, I guess I can call that busy...I don't know...I'm tired, I just want to change and I don't really want to have a cold shower...

Grape: Goodnight, Devra. 
Devra: ...
Grape: I didn't expect a response, must admit. 
Goodnight. See you in the morning, cameras.

 And now, a weird dream quick advertisement break...

Announcer: Coming soon to your television screen...The Masked Simger! 
Twelve household names compete behind a mask, behind a costume, just their voices to showcase their talent! Do you have what it takes to pick who is behind the mask? 

Announcer: But first...here are your first set of mystery clues for the rosy Bunny...
Bunny: I am the spring and the summer - the Bunny is a symbol of who I am beneath the skin, or who I could be. But I may seem all innocent and sweet now, but this Bunny has hidden depths other critters of the forest have come to uncover...

Bunny: Bunnies are agile creatures, bounding to and fro, and this Bunny has leapt from here to there, landing in unexpected terrains and embracing them with open arms and these soft paws. 
Bunny can look in the mirror and stop to smell the flowers, the roses, because I have treasured every moment that lead me to this very moment. I am not afraid of my natural predators in the wild anymore. 

Bunny: See, the Bunny has many friends in the wild. The bees whisper all manners of secrets to her. But it isn't always like this for this fluffy bunny. Sometimes the bees are whispering to another. 
This will be another victory for the Bunny, and the Bunny will not fall, come rain or shine, this will be the moment the Bunny sings for a sensational win! 

Bunny: *singing* Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night

Bunny: *singing* I've no fear that they might desert me
Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

Bunny: *singing* Diamonds are foreverrrrrrr! 
Announcer: Who is the Bunny? 
Can you pick it? More clues to come...

Bunny: In the meantime, the Bunny will be relaxing...

 Announcer: And now...a few clues from the Knight...
Knight: Would you like to know who is behind this mask? You'll have to pay close attention. I do. I always do. It is part of my job description, after all. I am the protection for my queens. 

Knight: But the Knight isn't always on duty in the high tower. I find time for myself, sometimes months of it, but I always come back to my roots. Back to where I call home. I am sentimental like that. A hunk of tin can have a heart, they've often said I had to go searching for it. But I hit the right notes, so I should knock down the competition with one easy blow tonight! 

 Knight: But being the Knight is tiring stuff. Catch me on my days off in the knight's chambers, dozing off, until my duty calls once again! 
The Knight hasn't always been a knight. He rose in ranks, from humble peasant up, until he found the sweet spot. Does the Knight plan to topple the monarchy for himself? He never would. 

Knight: Bunny and I once had many things in common, but now we bicker more than not. It is the Bunny who draws the first blood, because bunnies are not always innocent critters. 
But the Knight forgives his enemies. Life is short. I spend little time with the people who remind me of the early days of my life. 

Knight: I am ready to take to the stage and show the crowd that Knights can do more than wield a sword and face a battle head first. 
I hope you do enjoy my tune. 

 Knight: *singing* She packed last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my life

 Knight: It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight 
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'til touch down brings me round again to find

Knight: I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no 
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone...

Announcer: The Masked Simger is coming soon! 
Stay tuned for more clues to come!

Day Something...It is morning again, folks

Welcome back to Two Houses! It's a rather moody day today, rain falling from the sky, but today is an important and rather moody day anyhow...it's eviction day. One of the nominees, either Devra or Grape, will be eliminated before the day is done. And then, Week 6 will be over, and Week 7 will be upon us...let's check in on the housemates. 

Skye: *humming to herself* 

Skye: Oh, hello. 
My name is Skye, and I'm on the toilet. This is my talk show. Our first guest today is...this roll of toilet paper! Say, toilet paper roll, what's your experience been so far in the merge house of Two Houses? Oh, interesting...you feel as though your time will be cut short. Are you worried the current Head of Household will evict you before the week is done? 
You would be correct, toilet paper roll. 

Skye: My apologies, toilet paper roll, I have to keep the cameras interested me and being weird and crazy is the perfect distraction from them, you know, filming me while I go to the toilet. You know, sometimes they take this 'zero privacy' thing real serious, and for a show not even called Zero Privacy! Ha! 
You had to be sacrificed anyhow. 
And now I'll go back to sleep. 

Devra: Oh hello kitty cat, how are things? 
Watch out for my toes, kitty, you might get squished. 
Uno: meow. 
Devra: Oh, you stepped on mine! Uno! 

Uno: Meow. 
Devra: I see. Well, I hope you have a marvellous day, and avoid stepping on any further toes, or else it may be you evicted this week! 
Uno: meow, meow meow...
Devra: See, it's not a nice feeling, is it? Now you know how I feel, and how I have felt for quite some time now. 
Good day, kitty cat. 

Grape: I've got a headache. 
Sorry, I promise I came in here to talk. 
I just need to sit first. 
My head hurts. 

Grape: It's a stressful day for me, and for Devra, no doubt. One of us will be going soon and I don't want it to be either of us. I think we both have the chance to get further, to even win this thing, hell Devra and I both made it to the final for our seasons, but...one of us won't be going further. I'd like to think, if it's me, that Ben will be okay, that he'll push forward, but...he's been acting different lately...

Grape: Hey, Benny - 
Ben: Grape. How are you? 
Grape: Stressed. Anxious. Tired. Unsure. 
Ben: Sounds like you filled up your plate at the buffet. 

Grape: Yeah, haha...but not on purpose. 
Ben: Of course not. 
Grape: At least I can count on you, hey? The whole "you've got my vote, purple candidate" thing? 
Ben: Of course. 

Ben: I'm not having doubts at all, of course not - 
Grape: What was that, Benny? 
Ben: Nothing. Just whispering nothing to myself like a sane person. 
Grape: Okay...I'm gonna go to the toilet...and then the diary room. 

Devra: Time to gear up for the eviction later. 
Perhaps I shall box today. 
Oh, hello Rebecca! 
Rebecca: Morning Devra! Don't mind me, just running again. 
Devra: Keep on going! 

Devra: Okay, you have got this...you have talked around...people want you to stay, or they say so, or they mean so, I think or I hope that they mean so, what if...oh, no, shush that! I can stay in the game and I can win the next challenge and I will nominate someone, well two someones, maybe Skye and KT! for the why not, even though Skye promises I am not her target, maybe I can backdoor her anyhow so that I can keep the stress off my back, and then the other side would be weakened anyway, and I can go after Tybalt and Rebecca with Mysti by my side, or I can flip around and go after Mysti because we all know she will beat me at the end if we let it get to that stage - oh my this is leaving me breathless! 

Devra: You have got this, Devra - 
Rebecca: Did you say something, Devra? 
Devra: No I did not. 
Now...picture your desires...what do you want out of your way...

Devra: I am so so so so so so sorry Grape.
Grape: Devra? I know...
Devra: Oh my! I did not realise you had walked in...I promise I was not imagining your face as this boxing bag, not at all - 
Grape: It's okay, Devra...you and I are fighting for our lives. 

And may the best contestant win. 

There comes a time in one's life when the gargantuan decisions must be made - to get braces or to have wonky teeth, to sink or swim...

To give into your desires and your dreams and follow a passion, to fall asleep in the hot tub and let your woes overwhelm you...

To sacrifice yourself for the good of humanity or become the monster they fear, to let yourself burn in the sun of wrath and torment or fight it...

To let go of the past or embrace it, to be the leader without hesitation, fear, woe upon yourself...to nominate two for eviction...

One decision will be made soon. 
Right after another damn advertisement break. 
I'll see you soon. 

______________

Announcer: Coming soon to your television screen...The Masked Simger! 
Twelve household names compete behind a mask, behind a costume, just their voices to showcase their talent! Do you have what it takes to pick who is behind the mask?

 Announcer: But first...here are a few clues for our favourite lawn ornament.....The Gnome! 
Gnome: I'm not always the sea monster, trust me. It's just a reputation some of my exes have thrust upon me...that I lurk in the shadows too often, often forgotten...I am certainly not the most well-known from the assortment of garden gnomes I was first found in. 

Gnome: I started out small, in a countryside garden owned by an elderly woman, but now I am moving on up...though some would argue my former residence was much more extravagant than the suburban villa I call home now..
The Gnome has always longed for a family of their own, but the dream is slipping out of view...all my relationships end up knocked over, eating grass. 

 Gnome: I have been reading up to prepare myself for everything - I am no loser, although it may seem like I have been in the past. I've spent a few of my years attending the very best gnome college, learning how best to stand still and look pretty in the garden that surrounds me. 
I am prepared to sing my soul out in this competition. 

Gnome: The Gnome appreciates the finer things in life - art, a glass of wine, winning singing competitions with interesting concepts. It is in my best interest to not let myself get caught up in the complicated things...but sometimes even a gnome has troubles telling one apart from the crowd. 

Gnome: The Gnome would like to be less alone in this world - I seem to lose another of my gnomeo buddies with the days, as they past, and I am left sitting by myself watching my life thread on by without me - oh, it is a struggle to be a gnome sometimes! 
Who can help this gnome find the truth to life? Is it the number 42? 
Who can say...

Gnome: *singing* Don't put me off, 'cause I'm on fire
and I can't quench my desire

Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love? 
You're not convinced that that is enough

 Gnome: I put myself in the position
And I deserve the imposition 
But you don't even know I'm alive
And this pounding in my heart just won't die 
I'm burning up

Gnome: I'm burning up, burning up for your love 

I'm burning up, burning up for your love 

I'm burning up, burning up for your love 

For your loooooooovvvveeee

Announcer: And now...the first clues for the naughty Raccoon...
Raccoon: No, you did not just catch me digging around in the trash for a snack...I was admiring the scenery. 
Raccoons are known for being trash pandas, and I cannot turn that down - after all, I chose to be a raccoon. I embraced it tightly and squealed with delight. 
It's good to be a cheeky raccoon. 

 Raccoon: What does the Raccoon do with herself? You can find me everywhere all at once - I am sneaky and I pounce, and you will be surprised where you may discover me next. Your attention to me has been drawn several times, and each time, you aww at my excitement. I crave more than the garbage chutes - I want the glory of a win, again and again! 
And the celebration that comes with it. 

 Raccoon: The Raccoon is not afraid to get her hands dirty, sifting through the trash and the treasure, finding the perfect things to store on shelves. 
Are people ashamed to see this raccoon out and about, getting up in their business? I have heard complaints, but all raccoons are snickered at sometimes - you learn to grin and bear it, and drink gin! 
You would never lose this raccoon in a crowd! 

 Raccoon: *singing* Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey

Raccoon: Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey

 Raccoon: Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You have to hide away for so long (so long) 
Where did we go wrong? 

Announcer: This ad is long, but worth it, as now we have one last set of clues for you to uncover...let us get to know Robot!
Robot: I am a familiar face - everyone has heard of robots! But what everyone doesn't know is my full story. Well, it is time for you to grind cogs with the Robot! 

 Robot: I have always been complicated, that is what my friends and family say, but there are highs and lows to my story, and you have witnessed them like the notes a violinist would play. I have never been skilled at instruments myself, but I have spent long enough surrounded by music to know the beauty of it. 

Robot: Being the Robot, you may expect me to freeze up, or my wires may fry, but that is not the case for me - I am not known for surrendering. 
I may not be the only of my kind, but at least repetition is memorable. 
I may not haunt your dreams, but my dreams are haunted by you. 

 Robot: Perhaps it is not the wisest for me to be in the kitchen, if I happen to almost slice off my fingers. The Robot is not a perfected form, as it was intended, but it was created by humans after all - and all humans make mistakes and grave errors. Perhaps it is best that I try best not to follow in the footsteps of humans, or at least not the ones of my present time. 
Could I find solace in the past? 

 Robot: Why do I look the way I do? Why am I a green robot, and not plain, and not boring? I have always been fascinated with looking pretty. It's how I attract the boys, not milkshakes after all. Green is not my favourite colour, but I spent much of my life surrounded by it. It almost reminds the Robot of home. 
Am I a supermodel underneath this costume? 
That is up to you to decide. 

 Robot: *singing* Baby, you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
don't you know no one alive can always be an angel? 
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad 

 Robot: But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
You know: sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide

Robot: And then, sometimes, again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good! 
Oh Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood! 

Announcer: The Masked Simger is coming soon! 
And now, back to your program...
No more clues for tonight, folks. 
_______________

Welcome back to the sixth week of Two Houses Season 2. It's almost time for the eviction. Let's check in with our nominees. 

You look handsome as usual, Grapey. 
Grape: I'm nervous, is all.
Oh are we talking to each other right now? 
Grape: I thought you wanted to, yeah? How are you, anyway? 
I'm doing terrific, thanks for asking. 

Skye: This is the eviction ceremony. 
Devra, Grape, you are nominated for eviction this week. One of you will be going tonight, leaving this house behind you, and you will not be coming back. I repeat: no second chances, though Devra, you don't have any left anyway. 
Sorry. Let's keep this moving. 

Skye: Devra, Grape, is there anything you would like to say before we kick off the voting? Ben will be voting first, by the way. 
Ben: Of course I am. 
Skye: Hmm? 
Ben: Nothing! Devra, Grape, any statements? 

Devra: Hello everyone. I want you to think carefully about who you vote for tonight - either Grape or myself. How will this impact upon your game? Who do you connect with the most? It has been an interesting journey, having been evicted and then coming back, and I do not want it all to end now. 
Grape: Hi everyone, Grape here. I know I can't grovel or beg, and I can't bribe you all to keep me around, but it would be horrible to say goodbye to you all, especially this early into the merge half of the season. Keep me around, please, and I'll hopefully get to continue playing this game the very best I can. 

It is time for the voting. Ben is up first. 
Ben: I tossed and turned on this decision. I thought, maybe I vote out Grape, disappoint him and disappoint myself, just to potentially have some sort of alliance with Devra, but then...no, I never could. 
I'm sorry, but I vote to evict Devra this week. 

Tybalt: I will make this short, sweet and sacrificial. 
It is painful to do such a thing, but I have to vote to evict Grape this week. 
It's not personal, Grape. 

Rebecca: Ugh. My back hurts. 

Rebecca: Sorry, I'm just not loving today so far. It's been a bit rough, so to be honest I'm grateful to be in this big dress and I can hide most of myself under fabric. I feel achy all over, my head hurts, I'm so tired, I have to move around from the comfort of that cough back there - 
Emi the Producer: You're supposed to be voting -
Rebecca: Oh right, sorry, sorry, I'll focus! 

Rebecca: I vote to evict Grape from the house this week. 
Sorry, Grape. 
Okay, I think I want to just stay here for a couple hours. 
Emi the Producer: Mysti is incoming. Up you get, Rebecca. 

Mysti: This is tough, I must say. 
I like the both of them - they, of course, are my pals from back at the second house. Before this whole merge business. 
But I must say goodbye to one. 
I vote to evict Devra from the house. 

Mysti: You're up, KT!
KT!: Oh it all weighs on me, huh? 
Mysti: We can't say, aha, it could be all votes for Devra gone by now, or I could be the only one - nope, not allowed to say. 
KT!: Okay! 

Mysti: I hope all goes well. 
KT!: I hope so too. 

KT!: I kinda assume the house is split. Mysti and Ben will want Grape around still, I'd imagine, and I know Skye's plan was to get rid of Grape so she can plant the seeds of an alliance with Devra, but like, she wants Devra out once they've knocked down Ben and Mysti. That is not a strong alliance forming, it's just another vote! Anyway - 
I have to vote. 
I vote to evict Devra from the house. 
Skye's gonna be mad, huh? Hehe. 

It is official. With a vote of 3-2, Devra Eden is evicted from the house. It is time to let the house know - Devra will be walking out those doors today. 

Skye: The votes have been counted, and one of you has been evicted already! Woah! How are you still here, whoever it is?! That's amazing, you can project yourself into this room, like are you a witch or something, cause that's amazing! Sorry...I got carried away. 
By the wind, perhaps, or the spirit. 
Spirited away. 
Watch it. Good movie. 

Skye: Devra, Grape, one of you will be leaving us tonight. 
Rip. Dang, that is harsh. 
Sorry! I'm lightening the mood! 
Ben: The mood is depressing, you are failing. 
Skye: Okay I vote to evict Ben! 
Ben: You can't do that - 

Skye: I can do what I want. Like I wish I could change the result, I can't do that, I guess...Devra, you have been evicted from the merge house. 
You are out of Two Houses. 
Well, you're out of this one house. 
Devra: Can you shut that flytrap of yours? Thank you. 
Skye: Oh - 

Devra: Nobody cry for me, promise me that. I may be going, for good, never to come back to this room again, this house again, but I am not out of this world - no, I am no alien - I am in your hearts, and your minds, as you continue to play this wicked game without me. 
Thank you for having me - oh, what was the vote count? 
Skye: Right I forgot that part - it was 3-2. 
Devra: Well, that is interesting...

Grape: Devra...
Devra: Grape...do not be sad. You are safe in this game, at least for now, and that is what matters. You get to continue on and make me proud - I know you will. 
Grape: Devra...I'll miss you so much. It hurt to say goodbye to you once, and now - twice! Ah dang. It's been incredible getting to know you. 

Devra: Likewise. 
Say, Grape, the vote was 3-2. Someone on the other side wants you around. Keep them close. 
Grape: Oh, I will. 
I know who I can trust. I'll do you proud, Devra. 

Grape: Stay safe, Devra. Good luck out there. I'll see you at the end of all this, I expect you to look stunning at the finale! 
Devra: I will dress like a queen, of course! 
KT!: See you around, Devra. 
Ben: We'll certainly miss you, Devra. 

Tybalt: Well that was a debacle. Someone flipped on us. 
Rebecca: Tybalt...
Tybalt: Oh I knew it would be you. Your pregnancy hormones are making you soft and you've formed some friendship with Grape and now you can make daisy chains with him all you want! 
Rebecca: Tybalt. You're talking out of how your character was originally written...Tybalt? 

Devra: Good grief I'm finally done with the drama. 
Devra is the first of six to join the jury. 
Devra: Oh of course I am. 

Emi the Producer: Miss Eden, why've you grabbed my umbrella? 
Devra: It is starting to spit. I do not want my hair to be ruined. 
Emi: You've only got to walk to over here. 
Devra: Ample time for my hair to be ruined. 

Emi the Producer: Sit tight, Devra, someone will be with you very shortly. 
Devra: This is not another twist, is it? 
Emi: Oh...I wouldn't really call it a twist. 
Devra: Of course you would not. Whatever it may be...I am ready. 
Devra Eden is ready for her close up. 

Stay tuned for more to come when we return next time...for the seventh week of Two Houses! What will next week bring for our remaining contestants? Who will be crowned Head of Household, and who will be sent packing to join Devra in the jury? I'll see you next time. 

- Tiger.
