#week1day4

On the lawn, Merylee and Aurora are practising some Yoga. Merylee doesn’t seem to be enjoying it.

Merylee: So what part of this is supposed to be fun? 

Aurora: What? You’re not liking this?

Merylee: Uh... [Merylee feels her stomach rising in her body] Not really!

Aurora rises, grabs Merylee by her hands and helps her to her feet.

Aurora: Yoga isn’t for everyone. 

Merylee: Yeah, it’s definitely not for me... I don’t wanna be all sweaty for the party tonight, so I’m gonna go shower.

Aurora: We still have time, let’s chit-chat a bit.

Merylee: Okay, sure. I feel like we should get to know each other more anyway.

Aurora: Exactly! What do you do again?

Merylee: I’m a makeup artist. 

Aurora: Like one of those people that stands in malls and does other peoples makeup?

Merylee: No! I have a YouTube and Instagram where I do makeup looks! Or, at least I had... 

Aurora: Nice! I have a YouTube as well. I post singing videos and stuff like that.

Merylee: I had no idea you could sing? 

Aurora: Yeah, I’m alright. Not amazing.

Merylee: No need to be modest! I bet you’ve got killer pipes.

Aurora: So, who do you fancy more? Alex or Isaac?

Merylee: Haha, I KNEW this would come up.. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure. 

Aurora: Oh.

Merylee: Yeah, pretty boring. I just haven’t decided yet! I like them both ATM.

Aurora: Yeah, I get that.

Merylee: What about you? Who do you like?

Aurora: Right now? [She think of Raphael, ho is still coupled up with Georgia] No one. I’m waiting for my prince charming to walk through the door.

Merylee: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that new people are gonna keep flooding in. 

Aurora: We means we are gonna keep dropping like flies.

Merylee: Ew! I don’t wanna think about it! 

Aurora: Neither! Let’s just start getting ready, it’s getting late.

Whilst everyone is dancing to the music, Isaac notices in the corner of the dance floor a punch fountain full of snack and food. 

Isaac: How did no one see this fountain?

Isaac runs over, attracting the attention of the islanders, and fills a cup of punch. 

Connor: I hope it tastes nice [Filling a glass for himself] 

He takes long sip.

Connor: Damn that’s good! Everyone grab a glass! 

As Connor says this, the whole villa leap over to try some of the punch, including Minkie.

Connor: Oh, Minkie... Can we go for a chat?

Minkie: Sure. Let me just pour myself some.. 

Minkie stops talking as Connor holds out an extra glass. Smiling, Minkie takes the glass and spins around to find somewhere to sit.

They take seats on the sun loungers and burst into conversation.

Connor: You look stunning tonight. I’m living for this outfit.

Minkie: So do you. Your top is so cute! 

Connor blushes.

Connor: How did I get so lucky?

Minkie: What do you mean?

Connor: Well; I’m at a party, sat off to the side, chatting up the most beautiful person in the villa.

Minkie: You’re just saying that! I’m far from the most beautiful.

Connor: Nah. The other girls are pretty, but have nothing on you.

Minkie can feel their face turning a flush pink. They really like Connor.

Connor: I really wanna kiss you.

Minkie: You do? [In disbelief]

Connor: I have for a while now.. 

Connor starts to lean in for a kiss, Minkie leans away.

Connor: Oh. I’m sorry. I thought-

Minkie: You thought correct, I do want to kiss you.

Connor: Then why did you-

Minkie: Its not fair on Nathan. I am still coupled up with him.

Connor: Yeah, I keep forgetting. The next recoupling can’t come soon enough.

Minkie: Honestly.

Minkie puts their drink to the side and embraces Connor into a hug. 

Connor: A hug will do, for now.

After this, they flow back into conversation and talk the night away.

In the dressing room, the heels are getting ready for the party tonight, as usual.

Aurora: My eyebrows are so thick today! I can’t find my tweezers either. 

Minkie: You can borrow mine..

Georgia: No no! It’s so bad sharing things like tweezers and mascara! Everyone’s got weird bugs in their brows and lashes!

Minkie: Ew what?

Georgia: It’s true! Sharing them can exchange the bugs to others and that’s really bad for you.

Jade: How do you know that? Let’s change the subject! Aurora, your brows are fine.

Georgia: Okay, topic changed. Is everyone excited for the party tonight?

Lydia: Hell yeah! I wonder who the DJ they get in will be. 

Jade: DJ Khaled?

Merylee: Marshmello?

Minkie: Craig David?

All the heels add in their guesses and eagerly run down stairs to find out who got it right.

As they get down there, they join with the flats and realise the DJ booth is empty. Alex steps forward, being a DJ himself, wondering who they’ve got coming in.

*Ding* 

Alex: I’ve got a text!

The Text: “Alex, tonight you will be the DJ for the villa! Get your headphones on and your beats bopping.”

Alex throws his hands in the air in celebration of being tonight's DJ. The islanders all cheer and encourage him as he steps up to the booth. He takes a few moments to set up, then the tunes start flowing.

Everyone dances around the villa, really enjoying the music.

Jade: Don’t you know pump it up! You’ve got to pump it up! [Jade sings along to the music playing]

Isaac: Alex is actually a sick DJ!

Elliot: He should perform every evening.

As the heels decide who they are going to vote for, the flats worry on the other deck.

Codi: Who do you think will be voted?

Leo: I love the guy, but my money is on Elliot. He’s not made a single romantic relation yet. 

Codi: I mean... It is only day 4.

Leo: Yeah, but I’ve already made 3!

Codi: You have? Who?

Leo: Jade, Merylee and Aurora.

Codi: I swear Aurora never fancied you?

Leo: She picked me as her top three on day 2!

Codi: Yeah that’s true. I’m scared everyone will vote for me because I’m new and I’m a girl.

Leo: Nah don’t worry. I think both of us will be fine.

Back to the voting. All the heels are sat separately. Who will they pick? The text’s come in. It’s time for them to make their decisions. 

The Test: “Please send the names of the TWO flats you think are least dateable.”

For some of the heels, the choice is easy. For others it’s really hard.

Jade votes for: Alex and Isaac.

Merylee votes for: Codi and Leo.

Aurora votes for: Alex and Codi.

Lydia votes for: Leo and Alex.

Minkie votes for: Leo and Alex.

Georgia votes for: Alex and Isaac.

Alex has the most votes with 5

Leo has the second most with  3

Codi and Isaac both have 2 

This means that Alex, Leo, Codi and Isaac will all face the public vote.

Who goes home? That’s up to you! 

Alex: I’ve got a text...

Worry fills the villa. What could it be now? Alex quickly scans through the text before reading it and his face turns pale.

Alex: Oh god.

Codi: What? What is it?

Hesitantly, he reads the text.

The Text: “Islanders, tonight the heels will be voting for the two flats they think are LEAST dateable. The flats with the most votes will face a public vote and risk being dumped from the island.”

Everyone’s faces drop. No one says anything.

Merylee: I knew it. I told you something bad was coming. [Turning to Isaac] I don’t want anyone else to die!

Isaac: I don’t think any of us do.

Codi: Maybe us flats should leave and let the heels vote in private? So it’s easier.

The flats agree, wish everyone luck and leave to sit by the other fire pit. The heels remain motionless on the dance floor.

Aurora: Let’s go sit somewhere and discuss. Come on.

The heels strut across the villa so they can work out their game plan for this vote.

Jade: Okay, what are we gonna do? [Her face showing how upset she is]

Georgia: I don’t know. 

Merylee: What if we refuse? We could just not vote?

Lydia: Don’t be dumb. The producers literally killed someone for playing the game. Imagine what they’d do to someone who didn’t play along?

Merylee: Good point. Then what?

Minkie: I think, as sucky as this is, we just have to do it. Vote for who we think is least dateable. Whatever that even means.

Jade: Yeah, what does it mean? Is it least likely to date us? Or least likely to date anyone?

Aurora: I’m guessing, ‘To date anyone’, as savage as that is.

Merylee: Ugh! I just don’t want to. [Clenching her jaw]

Lydia: To make it more fair, shall we all make our choices alone?

Georgia: Yeah, that seems like the right thing to do.

Merylee shakes her head, she is clearly not okay with this. The other heels walk off across the villa to make their votes.

Back on the dance floor, sparks seem to be flying between Isaac and Merylee.

Isaac: How’re you feeling tonight?

Merylee: A little on edge, I’m not sure why. 

Isaac: That’s odd?

Merylee: I think there’s just a lot of positivity going around, at the moment. Which is great, but, the only way is down from here. You know what I mean?

Isaac: Not really, what if it keeps going up? Getting more and more positive?

Merylee: I doubt that. This is like the calm before the storm. I’m not sure. 

Isaac: [Scratching his head] I feel like nothing is gonna happen until another heels comes in. The numbers are all off! If there’s another recoupling then it will mean two flats will go home.

Merylee: What if that happens! [Starts getting really anxious]

Isaac: [Comforting her] Calm down! Calm down! Come on, you’re freaking yourself out. Everything is fine. Don’t overthink things.

Merylee sinks into Isaac’s arms. Alex notices and his jealousy takes all of his attention. Scratch. One of his disk scratches as he stops paying attention. Trying to fix it, Alex frantically pushes a random button on his DJ booth. The music stops.

Alex: Oops.

Lydia: What just happened?

Alex tries to cover up his actions.

Alex: Uhh- It’s dance competition time! Who wants to go first?

Nathan steps forward, brushing off his shoulders. The villa cheers him on. He steps into the centre on the dance floor and starts giving his all with a freestyle dance. Alex plays a little tune to match.

Suddenly, Nathan pauses takes a deep breath then jumps in the air.

He back flips and lands it. The islanders all go wild and run in to celebrate.

Raphael: That was so sick!

Leo: I had no clue you could do that?

Jade: Damn boy. [Giving him bedroom eyes]

Elliot steps up to dance next, he clears the dance floor and shows off some of his best moves. 

Elliot vogues around. He is killing it. 

Elliot: Sashay, Shantay! Panther on the runway!

Everyone is loving it. Although he has nothing on Nathan’s back flip, he is still outshining him by just his charisma alone.

After Elliot is finished, one by one the other islanders take their turns. Some take it seriously whilst some just have fun. Jade twerks, Raphael boogies and Georgia Renegade’s. 

Lydia is up next and just as she’s about to do her first move.

*Ding*

Lydia: Uh oh.

The islanders gather around Connor to hear him read out his text.

The Text: “Islanders! Today the villa will go head to head in order to win a DJ party for their team, in a challenge we’re calling ‘Don’t Wake The Llama’!”

The islanders all murmur amongst each other, excitement buzzing through the villa.

Alex: A DJ party? Nice! 

Merylee: Why does it have to be don’t wake the llama?! I’m so bad at that game!

Leo: I’m well excited! Gonna kill it!  

Everyone runs to get ready, finishing off their outfits, makeup and breakfast. Some taking a little longer than others.

Georgia: Jade, hurry up!

Jade: I’m hurrying! I’m hurrying!

Then in a quick burst of energy, everyone heads down to the challenge area to try and win ‘Don’t Wake The Llama’.

The couples all compete against each other but because Isaac and Codi are single, they are the judges.

Don’t Wake the Llama is basically jenga but instead of stacking the blocks back on top, every block you take is a point and you keep taking them until someone knocks down the Llama. Get it? Good, neither do we.

And they’ve started! Heels draw first then flats, then heels, then flats... You get the point. 

Everyone seems to be doing quite well until...

Minkie: Damn it. 

Minkie is the first to knock down their Llama, making Nathan the first winner.

Nathan: Wa-hey! One point to the flats!

After that, the losers keep coming.

First Merylee, then Lydia, then Leo. 

Jade: Didn’t you talk a big game earlier? 

Leo: My game must be off today... Must be stress.

Jade: Must be something... Wait am I the first heel to win? Come on girls!

Jade looks at the final two couples, Georgia and Raphael, and Aurora and Connor.

Jade: You got this!

Suddenly, Georgia’s table wobbles a little on her go, sending the whole thing crashing down.

Georgia: Uh! No fair! You totally kicked the table!

Raphael: Did not!

Georgia: Did too!

Isaac: [Coming over to clear things out] I hate to be the barer of bad news, but as the judge, I was watching. Raphael, you did kick the table.

Raphael: Oh? Did I! Oops, was an accident sorry.

Georgia sticks out her tongue and heads over to the winning side whilst Raphael slumps over to the losing side.

Codi: Okay guys its on! There are 3 winning Flats and 2 winning Heels! If Aurora wins this then it’s a tie but if Connor wins then the flats get the prize! Who’s it gonna be?

The tension is high. Sweat drips down Connor forehead as he goes to take his next go... He fails. All the wood comes toppling down and Aurora is the winner.

Connor: Oops.

Aurora: Yes! I’m victorious!!!

Everyone looks around the deck. It’s a tie.

Isaac: I guess we all win the DJ party!

The islanders all cheer with happiness over this news! They haven’t had a proper party since the first night, and there was so much drama then that no one could’ve really enjoyed it. So they were all really pleased.

Running across the beech, the islanders headed back to the villa. 

Have your say! Vote to save your favourite Islander!

Codi, Leo, Alex and Isaac are all up for elimination. Vote in THIS poll to save one of them. The results will be in at the end of day 5.
