EVEN: Welcome to Abnormality- Season 5! We are back with an all new season with 12 new housemates who are willing to fight it out to win the competition! Over the next 9 weeks, all 12 housemates will be battling it out for the grand prize of £350,000 as well as a place in our hall of fame as one of our winners. Previously on Abnormality, Blair was successful in the HOH challenge and won the chance to nominate two of her fellow housemates for eviction. Blair decided to nominate Amar and Griffin. Following the nominations, will Amar or Griffin be able to save themselves from the block? We'll find out on this episode of... Abnormality!
LANA: I need to make sure that you get off the block today. If we can get you off the block we don't have to worry about the eviction because we'll have the numbers.
AMAR: If I come off the block though you'll be put up in my place!
TRICERATOPS: That's a good point Amar.
AMAR: Perhaps we could talk with Blair about her renomination?
TRICERATOPS: I'll have a talk with Blair later, I wonder if she would be interested in taking out Janelle.
LANA: She's told me it's an option before.
TRICERATOPS: It'd be the perfect blindside too! Ooh, this alliance talk makes me feel important. Like I'm some sort of General.
LANA: Agreed, we have to make sure she doesn't find out though. Although we're in her good books at the moment if she finds out we'll be at the top of her target list.
TRICERATOPS: Don't worry, I'll be a secret squirrel about it.
LANA: Perfect! In the meantime let's not forget to have fun too.
AMAR: I'm always having fun, even when I'm nominated haha.
TRICERATOPS: Same! I think I've played on all the games thing in here.
AMAR: So have I, it's been a real tension breaker in here.
TRICERATOPS: You've been an absolute beast when it comes to the fusbal table. I thought Griffin was a pro when I played against him but you absolutely knocked me out of the park with how good you are.
AMAR: Stop schmoozing you!
TRICERATOPS: Make me.
AMAR: Haha, no. This place could do good with a shuffleboard. Anyone else like playing on it?
TRICERATOPS: Is that where you get a piece of cardboard and have to make sounds with it?
AMAR: That is something completely different.
TRICERATOPS: Oh crumbs!
LANA: We've got a lovely bar back in Sulani with a few shuffleboards, ya'll will have to come and visit once this game is over.
AMAR: Count me in, better set out a bed ready for me.
TRICERATOPS: And me! I've made a few couture bikinis from some extra fabric I had over from a project. It'll give me a reason to show them off!
LANA: What kind of fabric?
TRICERATOPS: Tartan! Yellow tartan, it sounds icky but it turned out real cute.

JANELLE: Thank you for helping me clean up in here lovey, it's not a nice job and I appreciate your help.
GRIFFIN: It's alright, just looking to lend a hand where I can.
JANELLE: My little tip to get the chrome sparkling is to use lemon juice, the acidity in the lemon breaks the grime down much faster.
GRIFFIN: It does? That's good to know.
JANELLE: Yes my dear, that accompanied with good elbow grease and you've got yourself a sparkling basin in no time.
GRIFFIN: That's great...
JANELLE: Are you okay my love? You don't seem yourself today.
GRIFFIN: I'm okay... I'm just a little bit, well, vulnerable.
JANELLE: Would you like to talk about it?
GRIFFIN: Sure.
*JANELLE pops her wash cloth down on the counter.*
GRIFFIN: I haven't been myself because I feel like a target in this game. A big target, for everyone still here.
JANELLE: Do you now? I don't blame you for thinking like that, you've proven yourself to be quite the player.
GRIFFIN: I haven't won many challenges but I do feel like I've been in a safe position up until this week. It's kind of put things into perspective after Stewie left.
JANELLE: You think that you're an easy option to nominate now don't you?
GRIFFIN: Yeah! Totally. I feel like I'm playing by myself and that I have no close allies left. Stewie was probably my closest ally in here.
JANELLE: My love, if it makes you feel better. I wouldn't have nominated you. I find you to be quite the competitor and would have you as an ally than a rival.
GRIFFIN: You're not just saying that are you?
JANELLE: Of course not, I'm not one to blow smoke up someone's ass.
GRIFFIN: Well, thank you that means a lot.
JANELLE: Also, just between you and me. I am still open for alliances.
GRIFFIN: Thank you for letting me know... I might have to take you up on that offer.
JANELLE: You're not the only one thinking about the bigger picture my dear. In order to get to the top I know I'm going to need my allies... if you want to get to the top too, I definitely think you need to consider options you didn't before.
GRIFFIN: I'll think about it, you're trustworthy and I know you like to play hard!
JANELLE: Boy do I. Now, come on this bathroom isn't going to clean itself lovey.
GRIFFIN: I've now been nominated twice in this game, but I feel so different now than I did before. I feel totally outside of my comfort zone at the moment and feel like I don't have any escape out of it and I know that shouldn't be the case because I have the opportunity to save myself whereas I didn't last time. All I can do is hope I can win this POP challenge coming up.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
BLAIR: I am loving this pink look on you, it's very cutesy.
TRICERATOPS: Thank you! I made it myself.
BLAIR: Wow, you've done a good job.
TRICERATOPS: Getting the doggie print onto it was a little difficult, I hadn't really tried block images on fabric before so it was all desperation and good luck when doing it.
BLAIR: You couldn't tell that it was your first time.
TRICERATOPS: Thank you, you're so kind.
BLAIR: While you're here, I want to know if the others have said anything to you. How do they feel about the nominations?
TRICERATOPS: Ugh, well... Amar seems to be mellow about it all, Griffin has been a bit worried about being nominated.
BLAIR: Interesting, I expected that. I'm glad I could finally get in power again, nominating is fun.
TRICERATOPS: I bet it is, I... well, I've yet to nominate anyone but there's still time to do so!
BLAIR: Exactly, who do you think you'd nominate if you got the chance?
TRICERATOPS: Well... I... ugh... I... I don't know.
BLAIR: You must have an idea of at least one person.
TRICERATOPS: There's not that many people left, uhm...
BLAIR: I don't mind if you say me.
TRICERATOPS: Why would I do that? You're a good friend to me.
BLAIR: Sometimes you gotta do that.
TRICERATOPS: Okay I'd nominate you.
BLAIR: Oh my god, that's shocking I didn't expect that from you Trix.
TRICERATOPS: I'm kidding, you know I wouldn't. We're really good friends.
BLAIR: I know, haha you should have seen your face then.
TRICERATOPS: I can't believe you! You little joker.
BLAIR: Come here, we're still friends!
TRICERATOPS: Haha, okay Blair.
*BLAIR and TRICERATOPS give each other a hug.*
BLAIR: This game isn't easy you know.
TRICERATOPS: I know, we will be able to get through it though.
BLAIR: Ain't that the truth!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
AMAR: Lana, it's fine. I don't mind sacrificing myself so you can stay here.
LANA: Don't you see, you don't have to!
AMAR: Huh, what do you mean?
LANA: If I can win the POP challenge, I won't be able to be nominated by Blair! The winner of the POP challenge is safe from being nominated as a replacement on the block.
AMAR: Is that an actual thing?
LANA: You bet your butt it is. The winner of the POP challenge is safe from being nominated as a replacement.
AMAR: Both of us could be safe!
LANA: Exactly, if I win and save you then Blair has to choose someone else. She could choose Janelle if she wanted to.
AMAR: She could choose Trix though.
LANA: That is an option, I talked with Blair about this before. Effectively she wants to get rid of Janelle as soon as she can.
AMAR: Why would she do that?
LANA: She wants a top four alliance with me, you and Lana.
AMAR: Again? She asked again?
LANA: She did.
AMAR: And did you decline again?
LANA: I didn't decline, but I didn't accept.
AMAR: I see... Do you trust her?
LANA: No of course not, but I do believe her when she talks about her own game. If she see's Janelle as a threat she'll do her best to get rid of her at the best opportunity she can.
AMAR: It would make sense when you look at the bigger picture. I just cannot trust anything she says though.
LANA: Neither do I, but it might be the best thing to do for our games.
AMAR: You might be right.
LANA: Yeah... so, hopefully Trix has convinced her to get Janelle out now. If Blair was a smart cookie she would do.
AMAR: You have got to make sure you win though, this whole situation relies upon you getting that win.
LANA: I'll give it my best shot, you know I will.
AMAR: I know, I can rely on you.
LANA: Let's do this buddy, the long haul to the end is almost up, we can't give up now.
AMAR: I was lacking confidence after the nominations earlier this week, but Lana reminded me of a little loophole which may be able to work in our favour. I really hope we can pull this off, if we can I think it'll be a good set back to Blair's plans.

*JANELLE straps up the armor on DAIMYO COOP SNOOP.*
JANELLE: There you go lovey, you're all set to go.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Thank you very much, it's so hard to get in back on myself. I appreciate the help.
JANELLE: Don't mention it.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: The POP challenge is coming up, how are you feeling about it?
JANELLE: I'm not too worried, why do you ask?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Just a question, say I have a good proposal for you!
JANELLE: I'm listening.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: If you give me a hug, I'll give you a good piece of information that you might find insightful.
JANELLE: What kind of information?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Top secret information!
*JANELLE picks up DAIMYO COOP SNOOP.*
JANELLE: Whoa, you are very heavy!
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Don't fat shame me!
JANELLE: Be quiet. How is this?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Nice, I like it.
JANELLE: Are you going to let me know about this information then lovey?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Oh yes of course, well, as with anyone I have a birthday... my birthday is coming up!
JANELLE: Your birthday? This is the top secret information?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: I lie, you can find it out on my Wikipedia page.
JANELLE: For a moment there I thought you were going to be of some help to me with something worthwhile.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Well, now you know you can buy me a card and a huge chocolate cake!
JANELLE: No.
*JANELLE puts DAIMYO COOP SNOOP back onto the floor.*

TRICERATOPS: Oh! You didn't come to play a friendly did you?
GRIFFIN: Nope, I came to win.
TRICERATOPS: Okay, I see how it is. Prepare yourself. I am gonna give you HELL Griffin!
GRIFFIN: I'm ready Trix, you are going to be annihilated.
TRICERATOPS: BRING IT ON BUDDY!
GRIFFIN: Haha, you always cheer me up you do.
TRICERATOPS: My aim is to bring happiness into everyone's worlds.
GRIFFIN: You're definitely succeeding.
TRICERATOPS: It's funny how lots of people are sad, you'd think more people would be happy but they're not.
GRIFFIN: That's true.
TRICERATOPS: I say bring out the sunshine and rainbows and dance!
GRIFFIN: Sounds like a good plan to me.
TRICERATOPS: Yay! Now, you ready to lose boyo?
GRIFFIN: Boyo? How dare you, you're going down Trix!
*The two of them battle it out on the game.*
TRICERATOPS: I've started to enjoy my time here a lot more now...
GRIFFIN: I did wonder if you were. You seem much happier now.
TRICERATOPS: I wasn't for a little bit when everyone was at each other's throats. Now it feels much more chilled out and fun.
GRIFFIN: I'll be honest, I'm not enjoying it as much... but I have been nominated, so I guess that doesn't help haha.
TRICERATOPS: It can get to you sometimes, just remember though you have friends here still. I like you, Amar and Lana like you.
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I guess that is true.
TRICERATOPS: It is true, we care about you.
GRIFFIN: Aww thank you Trix!
*GRIFFIN and TRIX come in last.*
GRIFFIN: What level are the CPU's on? They felt way overpowered than usual!
TRICERATOPS: Medium? That is wrong.
EVEN: HELLO HOUSEMATES! IT IS TIME FOR THE SEVENTH POP CHALLENGE! CAN YOU ALL PLEASE GATHER IN THE GARDEN.
*******
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
EVEN: Hello housemates! It's time for the seventh POP challenge. Six of you will compete in the challenge tonight for the chance to win the VETO! This veto will be able to remove one of the nominees currently sat on the chopping block. If the veto is used and one of the nominees is saved, the current reigning HOH must select a replacement nominee to take the empty seat on the block. The final nominees after this challenge will face eviction at the end of this week. Now, let's see who has been picked for today's POP challenge...
EVEN: As the current reigning HOH; Blair you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
BLAIR: Of course!
EVEN: Amar, as one of the nominees on the block you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
AMAR: I'm ready for this Even.
EVEN: Griffin, as the second nominee on the block you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
GRIFFIN: Thanks Even.
EVEN: And now by random selection... if you can even call it that with six players left... the following housemates will also be competing in the POP challenge tonight! The first one is... Janelle!
JANELLE: I've got my game head on dears.
EVEN: The next housemate to play is... Lana!
LANA: Thanks Even, let's do this.
EVEN: Our final housemate to play is... Triceratops!
TRICERATOPS: Guess who's back with a brand new track? It's not me.
EVEN: I hope you are all prepared, it is time to play the POP challenge! Please can all six of you head to the challenge arena!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
EVEN: Hello housemates! Welcome to The King-Pin Bowling Alley. This is the place to get your swinging arm in shape and destroy some innocent pins!
EVEN: This POP challenge is slightly different, we will be playing this in TWO phases!
ALL: Oh?!
EVEN: For the first phase, you will all have the chance to score points through bowling of course! You will all have three chances to earn as many points as you can. You will bowl and the pins you knock down will count for a point towards your score. These scores will determine rankings in this game, and mark my words you would benefit from being at the top of the rankings. Once this phase is over and we know the leader board, each housemate will be given a prize...
EVEN: One by one, you will approach our special guests who will offer you with a prize. If you are not happy with the prize you can swap it with someone who has is lower down the leader board- this is why it is crucial to get to the top as you will have more options available to you. Speaking of our special guests, please welcome back Pook the Gnome!
POOK: Oh yeah! Thank you for having me back.
EVEN: And also welcome back Godric the Bunny!
GODRIC: Thank you Even.
EVEN: Once you are called up to the sofa, you will be given an option from both hosts for your prizes. These prizes will include The Veto, of course- an extra eviction vote, a challenge advantage and an immunity badge!
ALL: Ooh, nice!
EVEN: Now we've covered the ground rules, let's play! 3 of you can approach the bowling lane at a time. So, let's start with Blair, Janelle and Lana!
BLAIR: Here we go, good luck guys.
LANA: This is going to be fun, I love bowling!
JANELLE: I'm not putting these shoes on, I'll keep me trainers on.
BLAIR: I'll go first guys. I have to lead by example.
LANA: Have you played much before?
BLAIR: I used to have a friend who worked at a bowling alley. I spent a lot of time down there.
LANA: That's a vague answer, it'll keep us guessing.
BLAIR: That's the intention!
LANA: Oh, okay. That's me told.
JANELLE: Look at her focus, she has those pins in her view.
BLAIR: I hope I don't miss, that'd be very embarrassing for it to go down the sides and score nothing.
BLAIR: Here goes!
*BLAIR throws the ball down the lane.*
BLAIR: It's central, it's looking good you guys.
TRICERATOPS: This could be a strike you know.
*BLAIR knocks over some of the pins.*
BLAIR: Okay, not bad but not great either. At least I have my other two turns to use... must do better.
JANELLE: Well done dear, good attempt.
BLAIR: Thank you Janelle!
LANA: Do you want to go up next Janelle?
JANELLE: I will go next dear.
BLAIR: Perfect, good luck! Careful on the lane, it's a bit slippy without bowling shoes on.
JANELLE: Don't worry lovey, I'm always careful.
*JANELLE grabs a hold of the ball.*
JANELLE: Bloody hell this is heavy... I can't get my fingers in the holes properly... any tips?
BLAIR: There are different sizes if you need another ball.
JANELLE: No dear I'm fine with this one. I can manage.
JANELLE: Phew, focus! Focus the energy Janelle.
BLAIR: You can do it Janelle!
JANELLE: Here we go.
*JANELLE takes a run at the lane with the ball.*
*JANELLE releases the ball but slips on the floor. She faceplants the floor.*
LANA: Oh no, are you okay?
BLAIR: Damn, she went down so quick. Do you need any help?
JANELLE: Ouch! I'm fine... I just need to get back up... grr, my back.
BLAIR: Here let me help you up.
LANA: Yeah me too.
TRICERATOPS: Aren't you or the bunny going to see if she is okay?
POOK: No, why would I?
TRICERATOPS: You're the guest host, that's why! Gee, you are useless.
POOK: Don't start with me girl, I'm not afraid to put you on your ass.
TRICERATOPS: Pardon my french, but go fuck yourself! OMG, that's the first swear word I've said in a while.
JANELLE: I must say it was extremely embarrassing to fall down like that, usually regular trainers aren't an issue. I'm not sure who polished the floor before we went out there but they did a good job, perhaps too good of a job in this case.
LANA: Breathe and try not to slip, nothing can be worse than that.
BLAIR: Good luck Lana, hope you score!
JANELLE: Please be careful of the floor lovey, you don't want to go down like I did just then.
LANA: Ain't that the truth.
LANA: Should I put a spin on it or would that be too risky?
JANELLE: Just throw it dear, don't try to show off your skills.
LANA: True, I don't want to end up messing up. Here goes...
*LANA throws the ball down the lane.*
LANA: Not too bad... it's going down the middle!
JANELLE: Ooh, could we have our first strike?
BLAIR: No, it's tilting off to the right a little.
JANELLE: Hmm, yes it is. Could possibly ricochet the pins to hit them all down.
LANA: AND IT IS...
*LANA knocks over 9 pins.*
LANA: Wow, almost a strike! That blasted one in the corner let me down.
BLAIR: Nice throw Lana, well done!
LANA: Thanks Blair, I'm glad I didn't try and spin it. I don't think I would have got those 9 pins if I did.
LANA: I enjoyed the bowling a lot! There's not many bowling alleys back in Sulani so I hardly get the time to do so, perhaps I need to open up my own bowling place for the rest of the people there? I'll think about it a bit more when it's not during a challenge.
GODRIC: Okay guys, now that all 3 of you have collected points, it is time for the remaining 3 housemates to play. Please step up to the lane, and get those bowling shoes on! I don't want anymore people hitting the deck.
*AMAR, GRIFFIN & TRICERATOPS head up to the lane.*
AMAR: I'll go first guys, wanna make a line behind me for when it's your turn?
TRICERATOPS: Of course, you want to go next Griff?
GRIFFIN: Okay sure, I'll go next.
*AMAR picks the ball up from the rack.*
AMAR: Now how many do we think I'll get? I'm taking bets now.
GRIFFIN: I think about 6.
BLAIR: How about none?
AMAR: Everyone see's you right now Blair?
BLAIR: I wasn't being shady, it's a possibility that you could not get any, no?
*AMAR throws the ball down the lane.*
AMAR: Not my best throw but it doesn't matter.
GRIFFIN: I don't know Amar, it's looking promising.
TRICERATOPS: I see a strike coming here!
*AMAR knocks over some of the pins.*
TRICERATOPS: Hmm... I guess I was wrong with that strike thing.
AMAR: That's fine... I have 2 more to do.
GRIFFIN: Can we not have one of those launch racks?
POOK: No!
GRIFFIN: My turn, wish me luck!
AMAR: You'll do fine Griff.
TRICERATOPS: Hey Amar, are you okay?
AMAR: I just want one of us to win... I don't want Blair to get her way this week at all.
TRICERATOPS: Ah I see, well... yeah, you're doing well.
*GRIFFIN picks up the ball.*
GRIFFIN: I... got a sneeze coming one second...
*No sneeze.*
GRIFFIN: My bad, false alarm.
GRIFFIN: I'm not gonna lie guys, the only bowling I've really ever done was on a video game... though there was that one time.
AMAR: Don't overthink it Griffin, when you feel ready let the ball go.
TRICERATOPS: Exactly! Be a cool cat and let it go.
GRIFFIN: Let's do this.
GRIFFIN: Ouch my wrist!
*GRIFFIN lets the ball go.*
GRIFFIN: My fingers weren't coming out then, I'm glad I'm not travelling down the lane. Pins in the face doesn't sound fun.
*GRIFFIN's ball goes off to the side and misses the pins.*
GRIFFIN: That was terrible. On a positive, it can only get better from here?
JANELLE: Very good outlook on it dear.
GRIFFIN: Trix you are up!
*TRICERATOPS picks up the ball.*
TRICERATOPS: WOW, THIS IS... HEAVY!
GRIFFIN: Do you need any help with that Trix?
TRICERATOPS: I'm gooooood. I should be fine. Ughhh.
TRICERATOPS: I'm gonna try one of those ballet legs that you do when you throw the ball.
GRIFFIN: What do you mean?
TRICERATOPS: Sometimes, I've noticed that players swing their leg out, like they're bowing or something. Let me try.
*TRICERATOPS throws the ball.*
TRICERATOPS: Like this... just a bit more graceful!
GRIFFIN: Oh I get you.
TRICERATOPS: Oh no, it's going to the left. This is not ideal.
*TRICERATOPS knocks down a few of the pins.*
TRICERATOPS: I hit one, I'm happy!
GRIFFIN: Well done Trix, good job.
TRICERATOPS: What can I say, I'm a pro!
*All housemates finish their bowls and phase one of the POP challenge is over.*
GODRIC: Congratulations guys! You are all finished with that, I bet some of you are happier about that than others. Now... me and that joker over there have tallied up your scores and I can reveal that going into phase two, these are the positions you have finished in this phase... let's start with 6th place...
GODRIC: In sixth place we have Griffin who didn't score any.
GRIFFIN: Yeah, sorry about that. I thought I would have at least hit one.
GODRIC: In fifth place with four points we have....
GODRIC: Amar!
AMAR: It just wasn't my challenge sadly.
GODRIC: Following Amar, in fourth place we have...
GODRIC: Janelle!
JANELLE: Well, it's definitely not one of my better performances but I'm glad I came out rather unscathed.
GODRIC: Following Janelle, in third place we have...
GODRIC: Triceratops!
TRICERATOPS: Aww, I thought I would have come in second or something. That's all cool though.
GODRIC: After Triceratops, in second place we have...
GODRIC: Lana!
LANA: Cute, I wasn't expecting that. I'm happy with second for this.
GODRIC: With only one housemate remaining, the player who is in first place is...
GODRIC: Blair! Well done on being the highest scorer in this phase.
BLAIR: Oh yeah! I'm glad I got where I am, I can properly think out the next phase through.
GODRIC: Now that we know the order for phase two, we are going to have a quick five minute break... please return to the challenge arena shortly.
*The housemates go for a quick bathroom break.*
*******
GODRIC: Welcome back players, now that we are back let's get phase two under way with. Griffin, as our sixth place housemate, you are first to hear what prize you have received from this challenge.
GRIFFIN: Perfect!
*GRIFFIN gets up from his seat and goes over to the sofa.*
GODRIC: How are you feeling Griffin?
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I'm good. I'd have been a bit more excited if I was in a different position but I don't want to think about that.
POOK: You came last buddy, how come?
GODRIC: Pook, shut up!
GODRIC: As you are aware, you have earned a prize from your specific ranking. Are you ready to find out what prize you have received?
GRIFFIN: Yeah!
GODRIC: Awesome... so, for finishing in...
POOK: LAST PLACE!
GODRIC: SIXTH PLACE! You have received...
GODRIC: "THE VETO".
GRIFFIN: Nice!
GODRIC: Since there are no other prizes in play at the moment you cannot trade your prize with anyone.
GRIFFIN: That's fine with me, I'd have kept it anyway.
GODRIC: Good to know. Please can you make your way back to your seat.
GRIFFIN: Thank you!
GODRIC: Amar, as you finished in fifth place... you are next to find out what your prize is.
GODRIC: Amar, for finishing in fifth place you have earned a prize. The prize that you have won is...
AMAR: ...
GODRIC: "A CHALLENGE ADVANTAGE".
AMAR: Ooh, nice one.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep it if you wish, you are eligible to trade your prize with Griffin's.
AMAR: Thank you for the option but I will stick with my prize. A challenge advantage is going to come in handy.
GODRIC: Okie dokie. Thank you for your decision Amar, you can make your way back to your seat.
*AMAR goes back to his seat.*
GODRIC: Next up in fourth place, we have Janelle!
GODRIC: Janelle, for finishing in fourth place you have earned a prize... The prize you have won is...
JANELLE: ...
GODRIC: "+1 EVICTION VOTE".
JANELLE: What a spectacular prize, I could benefit for having an extra vote under my belt at this stage in the game.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep this prize if you want, you are eligible to trade this prize for Amar or Griffin's prize.
JANELLE: I will keep my prize bunny man.
GODRIC: Thank you for your decision Janelle, please can you make your way back to your seat.
*JANELLE goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Next up, we've got our third place housemate Triceratops!
GODRIC: Triceratops, for finishing in third place you have earned a prize, the prize you have won is...
TRICERATOPS: ...
GODRIC: "IMMUNITY BADGE".
TRICERATOPS: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! IMMUNITY!
GODRIC: You do not have to keep your prize if you do not want to. You are eligible to trade your prize with any of the other prizes previously mentioned.
TRICERATOPS: No, no, no. Immunity. IMMUNITY, IMMUNITY PLEASE!
GODRIC: Haha very well, please could you make your way over to your seat.
*TRICERATOPS goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Next we have our runner up, in second place we have Lana!
GODRIC: Lana, for finishing in second place you have earned a prize of sorts.
LANA: Of sorts?
GODRIC: The prize for second place is... "NOTHING"
LANA: That's... disappointing.
GODRIC: You don't have to stick with this if you do not want to, you are eligible to trade with any of the prizes previously mentioned.
LANA: I will trade my prize for one of the other prizes.
POOK: Hold up, what? Someone is actually trading prizes. Damn! Which price would you like to take for yourself?
LANA: I will take "THE VETO" for myself.
POOK: Very well, Griffin you have lost your prize and now have Lana's prize of "NOTHING". Lana, you now have hold of "THE VETO". Well done.
LANA: Phew, I'm sorry Griffin I couldn't take that prize for my hard work.
GRIFFIN: I understand Lana, don't worry about it.
LANA: Thank you.
GODRIC: Please could you make your way back to your seat Lana.
*LANA goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Finally, we have our first place housemate. Blair it's your turn!
BLAIR: Here I am!
GODRIC: Blair, I'm sure you know already what will happen but here is your prize from finishing in first place
BLAIR: ...
GODRIC: Your prize is... "NOTHING".
BLAIR: I expected that, not a shock.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep this prize, you are eligible to trade your prize with any of the others prizes available in the game!
BLAIR: Having the choice between all the prizes is a blessing! Not only do I get to weigh up all my options but I also have the opportunity to pick the best prize for my game. Ultimately, there's so many ways I could play this, but I got to think long term. I want to be in the final and I need to do the best thing I can to ensure that happens.
BLAIR: I've thought about this, it's a hard one especially since I get to choose from them all. I have made my decision though, I'm going to trade my prize for Trix's "IMMUNITY BADGE".
TRICERATOPS: Nooooooo, not my badge! Nawww.
BLAIR: I'm sorry Trix, I need to do this.
GODRIC: Triceratops you have unfortunately lost your prize and now have Blair's prize of "NOTHING". Blair, you now hold the "IMMUNITY BADGE".
BLAIR: Yesss! Thank you very much immunity.
TRICERATOPS: ...This sucks.
POOK: Now that has been settled, let's have a look at the full list of prizes and who has won what!
GODRIC: Here is what everyone has earned during this POP challenge...
POP PRIZES:
BLAIR- IMMUNITY BADGE
LANA- THE VETO
TRICERATOPS- NOTHING
JANELLE- +1 EVICTION VOTE
AMAR- A CHALLENGE ADVANTAGE
GRIFFIN- NOTHING
GODRIC: Following this challenge, Lana is holding the veto at the end of this challenge. That means Lana you have won this challenge! Congratulations! In a moment we will return to the garden where you will make the decision on whether to use the veto to save one of the nominees on the chopping block!
JANELLE: Well done lovey, you played very well during that.
LANA: Thank you so much Janelle! What a crazy day.
*******
POOK: You fucker, I'm going to rip your head off!
GODRIC: Come at me you little shit, I'll put your six feet under!
TRICERATOPS: OMG! The divide isn't working.
JANELLE: My love, that glass divide would have never worked.
LANA: Someone should break them up.
JANELLE: Yes I agree dear.
BLAIR: I dunno, I'd like to see how this all ends.
EVEN: HOUSEMATES! PLEASE RETURN TO THE GARDEN NOW. SECURITY, KICK THESE TWO LIABILITIES OUT OF THIS HOUSE, NOW!!!
*******
EVEN: Welcome back housemates! Lana was crowned our seventh POP winner and has gained the power to veto one of the nominees on the chopping block!
EVEN: Lana, this week Amar and Griffin are on the chopping block. With your new found power, will you use the veto on any of the nominees on the chopping block this week?
LANA: Yes I am going to use the veto Even. I'm going to use the veto to save...
LANA: Amar!
AMAR: I am so appreciative Lana, thank you very much.
EVEN: Congratulations Amar! You are no longer a nominee this week, following this decision the current reigning HOH will now have to make a decision on who to replace in Amar's place.
EVEN: Blair, as the current reigning HOH you will now tell me who your replacement nominee will be. Blair, please could you give me your answer...
JANELLE: You know what to do lovey.
BLAIR: Thank you Even, with a very heavy heart... I am going to nominate...

BLAIR: Trix!
TRICERATOPS: I'm... nominated again.
EVEN: I'm sorry Triceratops but you have been nominated. Please could you take a seat next to Griffin.
EVEN: Griffin and Triceratops, you two are the final nominees this week and will face eviction. One of you will be going home this week.
GRIFFIN: Yep, that's right.
TRICERATOPS: Oh no... this can't be happening.
EVEN: Good luck guys! I will see you all on eviction night where one of you will be going home! Goodnight everybody.
ALL: Bye Even.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
TRICERATOPS: I am on the chopping block... again... with no way to save myself. I feel so defeated and sad. If you put that in with Blair stealing my immunity badge and giving me nothing, it has been a bad day. I feel like I've been thrown under the bus.
TRICERATOPS: It shouldn't hurt this bad should it?
GRIFFIN: No, it's okay to feel that way though. You've had a rough day today, losing the immunity badge and then getting put up as a replacement for Amar- it's gonna have it's toll.
TRICERATOPS: I hugged her today, I told her we were good friends... I guess that didn't mean anything to her.
GRIFFIN: She wouldn't throw you under the bus surely?
TRICERATOPS: I... I-I don't think so, but whatever she does now... it doesn't matter because she'll be safe next week.
GRIFFIN: True, she's saved her own butt for at least one more week.
TRICERATOPS: I know this is a game, but friendships matter don't they? Would you rather take money over friendship or friendship over money?
GRIFFIN: The money would be nice but I wouldn't throw any of my friends to the wolves to get it.
TRICERATOPS: And now one of us will be going home... I thought she would have put Janelle up. She has told me and everyone else she wants her gone. You'd think this would be the perfect opportunity to backdoor her?
GRIFFIN: People are complicated Trix, I'm sure she had a reason for doing so. Though I will admit, to say she really wants Janelle gone- it'd be the best time to put the plan in action and at least try and get her out.
TRICERATOPS: It'll never happen, Janelle has Blair's back and Blair knows that, why upset your closest ally when you can have them take the brunt of your actions.
GRIFFIN: It's not over until it's over though, Blair really wants to win we know that... but, even with the best laid plans there is hole somewhere. It might be the tiniest hole but it could come back to haunt her.
TRICERATOPS: Do you think that is possible?
GRIFFIN: Absolutely, no matter how well she has played the game, she still needs to convince a jury otherwise.
TRICERATOPS: OMG! Of course, how silly of me I completely forgot about it.
GRIFFIN: The only thing is though, I don't want either of us to go yet. There is so much more both you and I need to do in this game.
TRICERATOPS: I agree, I ain't ready to pack my bags and go. I want to win a HOH challenge before I go.
GRIFFIN: I want you to know that you've been an awesome friend Trix, I don't think this experience would have been the same without you.
TRICERATOPS: Likewise, I've always been able to come to you and talk. I'm going to miss that.
GRIFFIN: Are you going to campaign?
TRICERATOPS: I'll try... you?
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I'll try too. I'm sorry.
TRICERATOPS: Don't be sorry, it is going to be okay. No matter what happens.
GRIFFIN: I'll promise you this though, if you stay and make it to the final. I'll give you my vote to win.
TRICERATOPS: So will I, it'll be our deal!
EVEN: That concludes this episode of Abnormality! Lana pulled through and won the seventh POP challenge of this season. She decided to save Amar from the chopping block resulting in Triceratops being his replacement. Following this, Griffin or Triceratops will be going home this week. The question is though, who will be the unlucky housemate to leave the house next? Tune in to the next episode to find out the result of the eviction ceremony. Goodnight everybody!
HOUSEMATES:
Amar Thanos (Turner)
Blair Lunanova (ninjakid150)
Griffin Bryant (WinteryGarnet)
Janelle Waiter (HayloHusky)
Lana Mahi'ai (SimTresa)
Triceratops O'Dell (Tigerblu11)
7th: Stewart Murray (lillibattenberg)
8th: Jin Chang (kittymeow)
9th: Jonah Goodwin (Alleenmens)
10th: Brandon Cohen (YJB19299)
11th: Chef Bertha (M13Vulpecula)
12th: Charlotte Winterbourne (twiddle3)
LANA: I need to make sure that you get off the block today. If we can get you off the block we don't have to worry about the eviction because we'll have the numbers.
AMAR: If I come off the block though you'll be put up in my place!
TRICERATOPS: That's a good point Amar.
AMAR: Perhaps we could talk with Blair about her renomination?
TRICERATOPS: I'll have a talk with Blair later, I wonder if she would be interested in taking out Janelle.
LANA: She's told me it's an option before.
TRICERATOPS: It'd be the perfect blindside too! Ooh, this alliance talk makes me feel important. Like I'm some sort of General.
LANA: Agreed, we have to make sure she doesn't find out though. Although we're in her good books at the moment if she finds out we'll be at the top of her target list.
TRICERATOPS: Don't worry, I'll be a secret squirrel about it.
LANA: Perfect! In the meantime let's not forget to have fun too.
AMAR: I'm always having fun, even when I'm nominated haha.
TRICERATOPS: Same! I think I've played on all the games thing in here.
AMAR: So have I, it's been a real tension breaker in here.
TRICERATOPS: You've been an absolute beast when it comes to the fusbal table. I thought Griffin was a pro when I played against him but you absolutely knocked me out of the park with how good you are.
AMAR: Stop schmoozing you!
TRICERATOPS: Make me.
AMAR: Haha, no. This place could do good with a shuffleboard. Anyone else like playing on it?
TRICERATOPS: Is that where you get a piece of cardboard and have to make sounds with it?
AMAR: That is something completely different.
TRICERATOPS: Oh crumbs!
LANA: We've got a lovely bar back in Sulani with a few shuffleboards, ya'll will have to come and visit once this game is over.
AMAR: Count me in, better set out a bed ready for me.
TRICERATOPS: And me! I've made a few couture bikinis from some extra fabric I had over from a project. It'll give me a reason to show them off!
LANA: What kind of fabric?
TRICERATOPS: Tartan! Yellow tartan, it sounds icky but it turned out real cute.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
JANELLE: Thank you for helping me clean up in here lovey, it's not a nice job and I appreciate your help.
GRIFFIN: It's alright, just looking to lend a hand where I can.
JANELLE: My little tip to get the chrome sparkling is to use lemon juice, the acidity in the lemon breaks the grime down much faster.
GRIFFIN: It does? That's good to know.
JANELLE: Yes my dear, that accompanied with good elbow grease and you've got yourself a sparkling basin in no time.
GRIFFIN: That's great...
JANELLE: Are you okay my love? You don't seem yourself today.
GRIFFIN: I'm okay... I'm just a little bit, well, vulnerable.
JANELLE: Would you like to talk about it?
GRIFFIN: Sure.
*JANELLE pops her wash cloth down on the counter.*
GRIFFIN: I haven't been myself because I feel like a target in this game. A big target, for everyone still here.
JANELLE: Do you now? I don't blame you for thinking like that, you've proven yourself to be quite the player.
GRIFFIN: I haven't won many challenges but I do feel like I've been in a safe position up until this week. It's kind of put things into perspective after Stewie left.
JANELLE: You think that you're an easy option to nominate now don't you?
GRIFFIN: Yeah! Totally. I feel like I'm playing by myself and that I have no close allies left. Stewie was probably my closest ally in here.
JANELLE: My love, if it makes you feel better. I wouldn't have nominated you. I find you to be quite the competitor and would have you as an ally than a rival.
GRIFFIN: You're not just saying that are you?
JANELLE: Of course not, I'm not one to blow smoke up someone's ass.
GRIFFIN: Well, thank you that means a lot.
JANELLE: Also, just between you and me. I am still open for alliances.
GRIFFIN: Thank you for letting me know... I might have to take you up on that offer.
JANELLE: You're not the only one thinking about the bigger picture my dear. In order to get to the top I know I'm going to need my allies... if you want to get to the top too, I definitely think you need to consider options you didn't before.
GRIFFIN: I'll think about it, you're trustworthy and I know you like to play hard!
JANELLE: Boy do I. Now, come on this bathroom isn't going to clean itself lovey.
GRIFFIN: I've now been nominated twice in this game, but I feel so different now than I did before. I feel totally outside of my comfort zone at the moment and feel like I don't have any escape out of it and I know that shouldn't be the case because I have the opportunity to save myself whereas I didn't last time. All I can do is hope I can win this POP challenge coming up.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
BLAIR: I am loving this pink look on you, it's very cutesy.
TRICERATOPS: Thank you! I made it myself.
BLAIR: Wow, you've done a good job.
TRICERATOPS: Getting the doggie print onto it was a little difficult, I hadn't really tried block images on fabric before so it was all desperation and good luck when doing it.
BLAIR: You couldn't tell that it was your first time.
TRICERATOPS: Thank you, you're so kind.
BLAIR: While you're here, I want to know if the others have said anything to you. How do they feel about the nominations?
TRICERATOPS: Ugh, well... Amar seems to be mellow about it all, Griffin has been a bit worried about being nominated.
BLAIR: Interesting, I expected that. I'm glad I could finally get in power again, nominating is fun.
TRICERATOPS: I bet it is, I... well, I've yet to nominate anyone but there's still time to do so!
BLAIR: Exactly, who do you think you'd nominate if you got the chance?
TRICERATOPS: Well... I... ugh... I... I don't know.
BLAIR: You must have an idea of at least one person.
TRICERATOPS: There's not that many people left, uhm...
BLAIR: I don't mind if you say me.
TRICERATOPS: Why would I do that? You're a good friend to me.
BLAIR: Sometimes you gotta do that.
TRICERATOPS: Okay I'd nominate you.
BLAIR: Oh my god, that's shocking I didn't expect that from you Trix.
TRICERATOPS: I'm kidding, you know I wouldn't. We're really good friends.
BLAIR: I know, haha you should have seen your face then.
TRICERATOPS: I can't believe you! You little joker.
BLAIR: Come here, we're still friends!
TRICERATOPS: Haha, okay Blair.
*BLAIR and TRICERATOPS give each other a hug.*
BLAIR: This game isn't easy you know.
TRICERATOPS: I know, we will be able to get through it though.
BLAIR: Ain't that the truth!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
AMAR: Lana, it's fine. I don't mind sacrificing myself so you can stay here.
LANA: Don't you see, you don't have to!
AMAR: Huh, what do you mean?
LANA: If I can win the POP challenge, I won't be able to be nominated by Blair! The winner of the POP challenge is safe from being nominated as a replacement on the block.
AMAR: Is that an actual thing?
LANA: You bet your butt it is. The winner of the POP challenge is safe from being nominated as a replacement.
AMAR: Both of us could be safe!
LANA: Exactly, if I win and save you then Blair has to choose someone else. She could choose Janelle if she wanted to.
AMAR: She could choose Trix though.
LANA: That is an option, I talked with Blair about this before. Effectively she wants to get rid of Janelle as soon as she can.
AMAR: Why would she do that?
LANA: She wants a top four alliance with me, you and Lana.
AMAR: Again? She asked again?
LANA: She did.
AMAR: And did you decline again?
LANA: I didn't decline, but I didn't accept.
AMAR: I see... Do you trust her?
LANA: No of course not, but I do believe her when she talks about her own game. If she see's Janelle as a threat she'll do her best to get rid of her at the best opportunity she can.
AMAR: It would make sense when you look at the bigger picture. I just cannot trust anything she says though.
LANA: Neither do I, but it might be the best thing to do for our games.
AMAR: You might be right.
LANA: Yeah... so, hopefully Trix has convinced her to get Janelle out now. If Blair was a smart cookie she would do.
AMAR: You have got to make sure you win though, this whole situation relies upon you getting that win.
LANA: I'll give it my best shot, you know I will.
AMAR: I know, I can rely on you.
LANA: Let's do this buddy, the long haul to the end is almost up, we can't give up now.
AMAR: I was lacking confidence after the nominations earlier this week, but Lana reminded me of a little loophole which may be able to work in our favour. I really hope we can pull this off, if we can I think it'll be a good set back to Blair's plans.

JANELLE: There you go lovey, you're all set to go.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Thank you very much, it's so hard to get in back on myself. I appreciate the help.
JANELLE: Don't mention it.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: The POP challenge is coming up, how are you feeling about it?
JANELLE: I'm not too worried, why do you ask?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Just a question, say I have a good proposal for you!
JANELLE: I'm listening.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: If you give me a hug, I'll give you a good piece of information that you might find insightful.
JANELLE: What kind of information?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Top secret information!
*JANELLE picks up DAIMYO COOP SNOOP.*
JANELLE: Whoa, you are very heavy!
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Don't fat shame me!
JANELLE: Be quiet. How is this?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Nice, I like it.
JANELLE: Are you going to let me know about this information then lovey?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Oh yes of course, well, as with anyone I have a birthday... my birthday is coming up!
JANELLE: Your birthday? This is the top secret information?
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: I lie, you can find it out on my Wikipedia page.
JANELLE: For a moment there I thought you were going to be of some help to me with something worthwhile.
DAIMYO COOP SNOOP: Well, now you know you can buy me a card and a huge chocolate cake!
JANELLE: No.

GRIFFIN: I'm ready Trix, you are going to be annihilated.
TRICERATOPS: BRING IT ON BUDDY!
GRIFFIN: Haha, you always cheer me up you do.
TRICERATOPS: My aim is to bring happiness into everyone's worlds.
GRIFFIN: You're definitely succeeding.
TRICERATOPS: It's funny how lots of people are sad, you'd think more people would be happy but they're not.
GRIFFIN: That's true.
TRICERATOPS: I say bring out the sunshine and rainbows and dance!
GRIFFIN: Sounds like a good plan to me.
TRICERATOPS: Yay! Now, you ready to lose boyo?
GRIFFIN: Boyo? How dare you, you're going down Trix!
*The two of them battle it out on the game.*
TRICERATOPS: I've started to enjoy my time here a lot more now...
GRIFFIN: I did wonder if you were. You seem much happier now.
TRICERATOPS: I wasn't for a little bit when everyone was at each other's throats. Now it feels much more chilled out and fun.
GRIFFIN: I'll be honest, I'm not enjoying it as much... but I have been nominated, so I guess that doesn't help haha.
TRICERATOPS: It can get to you sometimes, just remember though you have friends here still. I like you, Amar and Lana like you.
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I guess that is true.
TRICERATOPS: It is true, we care about you.

*******
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
EVEN: Hello housemates! It's time for the seventh POP challenge. Six of you will compete in the challenge tonight for the chance to win the VETO! This veto will be able to remove one of the nominees currently sat on the chopping block. If the veto is used and one of the nominees is saved, the current reigning HOH must select a replacement nominee to take the empty seat on the block. The final nominees after this challenge will face eviction at the end of this week. Now, let's see who has been picked for today's POP challenge...
EVEN: As the current reigning HOH; Blair you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
BLAIR: Of course!
EVEN: Amar, as one of the nominees on the block you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
AMAR: I'm ready for this Even.
EVEN: Griffin, as the second nominee on the block you are automatically enrolled into the POP challenge.
GRIFFIN: Thanks Even.
EVEN: And now by random selection... if you can even call it that with six players left... the following housemates will also be competing in the POP challenge tonight! The first one is... Janelle!
JANELLE: I've got my game head on dears.
EVEN: The next housemate to play is... Lana!
LANA: Thanks Even, let's do this.
EVEN: Our final housemate to play is... Triceratops!
TRICERATOPS: Guess who's back with a brand new track? It's not me.
EVEN: I hope you are all prepared, it is time to play the POP challenge! Please can all six of you head to the challenge arena!
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
EVEN: Hello housemates! Welcome to The King-Pin Bowling Alley. This is the place to get your swinging arm in shape and destroy some innocent pins!
EVEN: This POP challenge is slightly different, we will be playing this in TWO phases!
ALL: Oh?!
EVEN: For the first phase, you will all have the chance to score points through bowling of course! You will all have three chances to earn as many points as you can. You will bowl and the pins you knock down will count for a point towards your score. These scores will determine rankings in this game, and mark my words you would benefit from being at the top of the rankings. Once this phase is over and we know the leader board, each housemate will be given a prize...
EVEN: One by one, you will approach our special guests who will offer you with a prize. If you are not happy with the prize you can swap it with someone who has is lower down the leader board- this is why it is crucial to get to the top as you will have more options available to you. Speaking of our special guests, please welcome back Pook the Gnome!
POOK: Oh yeah! Thank you for having me back.
EVEN: And also welcome back Godric the Bunny!
GODRIC: Thank you Even.
EVEN: Once you are called up to the sofa, you will be given an option from both hosts for your prizes. These prizes will include The Veto, of course- an extra eviction vote, a challenge advantage and an immunity badge!
ALL: Ooh, nice!
EVEN: Now we've covered the ground rules, let's play! 3 of you can approach the bowling lane at a time. So, let's start with Blair, Janelle and Lana!
BLAIR: Here we go, good luck guys.
LANA: This is going to be fun, I love bowling!
JANELLE: I'm not putting these shoes on, I'll keep me trainers on.
BLAIR: I'll go first guys. I have to lead by example.
LANA: Have you played much before?
BLAIR: I used to have a friend who worked at a bowling alley. I spent a lot of time down there.
LANA: That's a vague answer, it'll keep us guessing.
BLAIR: That's the intention!
LANA: Oh, okay. That's me told.
JANELLE: Look at her focus, she has those pins in her view.
BLAIR: I hope I don't miss, that'd be very embarrassing for it to go down the sides and score nothing.
BLAIR: Here goes!
*BLAIR throws the ball down the lane.*
BLAIR: It's central, it's looking good you guys.
TRICERATOPS: This could be a strike you know.
*BLAIR knocks over some of the pins.*
BLAIR: Okay, not bad but not great either. At least I have my other two turns to use... must do better.
JANELLE: Well done dear, good attempt.
BLAIR: Thank you Janelle!
LANA: Do you want to go up next Janelle?
JANELLE: I will go next dear.
BLAIR: Perfect, good luck! Careful on the lane, it's a bit slippy without bowling shoes on.
JANELLE: Don't worry lovey, I'm always careful.
*JANELLE grabs a hold of the ball.*
JANELLE: Bloody hell this is heavy... I can't get my fingers in the holes properly... any tips?
BLAIR: There are different sizes if you need another ball.
JANELLE: No dear I'm fine with this one. I can manage.
JANELLE: Phew, focus! Focus the energy Janelle.
BLAIR: You can do it Janelle!
JANELLE: Here we go.
*JANELLE takes a run at the lane with the ball.*
*JANELLE releases the ball but slips on the floor. She faceplants the floor.*
LANA: Oh no, are you okay?
BLAIR: Damn, she went down so quick. Do you need any help?
JANELLE: Ouch! I'm fine... I just need to get back up... grr, my back.
BLAIR: Here let me help you up.
LANA: Yeah me too.
TRICERATOPS: Aren't you or the bunny going to see if she is okay?
POOK: No, why would I?
TRICERATOPS: You're the guest host, that's why! Gee, you are useless.
POOK: Don't start with me girl, I'm not afraid to put you on your ass.
TRICERATOPS: Pardon my french, but go fuck yourself! OMG, that's the first swear word I've said in a while.
JANELLE: I must say it was extremely embarrassing to fall down like that, usually regular trainers aren't an issue. I'm not sure who polished the floor before we went out there but they did a good job, perhaps too good of a job in this case.
LANA: Breathe and try not to slip, nothing can be worse than that.
BLAIR: Good luck Lana, hope you score!
JANELLE: Please be careful of the floor lovey, you don't want to go down like I did just then.
LANA: Ain't that the truth.
LANA: Should I put a spin on it or would that be too risky?
JANELLE: Just throw it dear, don't try to show off your skills.
LANA: True, I don't want to end up messing up. Here goes...
*LANA throws the ball down the lane.*
LANA: Not too bad... it's going down the middle!
JANELLE: Ooh, could we have our first strike?
BLAIR: No, it's tilting off to the right a little.
JANELLE: Hmm, yes it is. Could possibly ricochet the pins to hit them all down.
LANA: AND IT IS...
*LANA knocks over 9 pins.*
LANA: Wow, almost a strike! That blasted one in the corner let me down.
BLAIR: Nice throw Lana, well done!
LANA: Thanks Blair, I'm glad I didn't try and spin it. I don't think I would have got those 9 pins if I did.
LANA: I enjoyed the bowling a lot! There's not many bowling alleys back in Sulani so I hardly get the time to do so, perhaps I need to open up my own bowling place for the rest of the people there? I'll think about it a bit more when it's not during a challenge.
GODRIC: Okay guys, now that all 3 of you have collected points, it is time for the remaining 3 housemates to play. Please step up to the lane, and get those bowling shoes on! I don't want anymore people hitting the deck.
*AMAR, GRIFFIN & TRICERATOPS head up to the lane.*
AMAR: I'll go first guys, wanna make a line behind me for when it's your turn?
TRICERATOPS: Of course, you want to go next Griff?
GRIFFIN: Okay sure, I'll go next.
*AMAR picks the ball up from the rack.*
AMAR: Now how many do we think I'll get? I'm taking bets now.
GRIFFIN: I think about 6.
BLAIR: How about none?
AMAR: Everyone see's you right now Blair?
BLAIR: I wasn't being shady, it's a possibility that you could not get any, no?
*AMAR throws the ball down the lane.*
AMAR: Not my best throw but it doesn't matter.
GRIFFIN: I don't know Amar, it's looking promising.
TRICERATOPS: I see a strike coming here!
*AMAR knocks over some of the pins.*
TRICERATOPS: Hmm... I guess I was wrong with that strike thing.
AMAR: That's fine... I have 2 more to do.
GRIFFIN: Can we not have one of those launch racks?
POOK: No!
GRIFFIN: My turn, wish me luck!
AMAR: You'll do fine Griff.
TRICERATOPS: Hey Amar, are you okay?
AMAR: I just want one of us to win... I don't want Blair to get her way this week at all.
TRICERATOPS: Ah I see, well... yeah, you're doing well.
*GRIFFIN picks up the ball.*
GRIFFIN: I... got a sneeze coming one second...
*No sneeze.*
GRIFFIN: My bad, false alarm.
GRIFFIN: I'm not gonna lie guys, the only bowling I've really ever done was on a video game... though there was that one time.
AMAR: Don't overthink it Griffin, when you feel ready let the ball go.
TRICERATOPS: Exactly! Be a cool cat and let it go.
GRIFFIN: Let's do this.
GRIFFIN: Ouch my wrist!
*GRIFFIN lets the ball go.*
GRIFFIN: My fingers weren't coming out then, I'm glad I'm not travelling down the lane. Pins in the face doesn't sound fun.
*GRIFFIN's ball goes off to the side and misses the pins.*
GRIFFIN: That was terrible. On a positive, it can only get better from here?
JANELLE: Very good outlook on it dear.
GRIFFIN: Trix you are up!
*TRICERATOPS picks up the ball.*
TRICERATOPS: WOW, THIS IS... HEAVY!
GRIFFIN: Do you need any help with that Trix?
TRICERATOPS: I'm gooooood. I should be fine. Ughhh.
TRICERATOPS: I'm gonna try one of those ballet legs that you do when you throw the ball.
GRIFFIN: What do you mean?
TRICERATOPS: Sometimes, I've noticed that players swing their leg out, like they're bowing or something. Let me try.
*TRICERATOPS throws the ball.*
TRICERATOPS: Like this... just a bit more graceful!
GRIFFIN: Oh I get you.
TRICERATOPS: Oh no, it's going to the left. This is not ideal.
*TRICERATOPS knocks down a few of the pins.*
TRICERATOPS: I hit one, I'm happy!
GRIFFIN: Well done Trix, good job.
TRICERATOPS: What can I say, I'm a pro!
*All housemates finish their bowls and phase one of the POP challenge is over.*
GODRIC: Congratulations guys! You are all finished with that, I bet some of you are happier about that than others. Now... me and that joker over there have tallied up your scores and I can reveal that going into phase two, these are the positions you have finished in this phase... let's start with 6th place...
GODRIC: In sixth place we have Griffin who didn't score any.
GRIFFIN: Yeah, sorry about that. I thought I would have at least hit one.
GODRIC: In fifth place with four points we have....
GODRIC: Amar!
AMAR: It just wasn't my challenge sadly.
GODRIC: Following Amar, in fourth place we have...
GODRIC: Janelle!
JANELLE: Well, it's definitely not one of my better performances but I'm glad I came out rather unscathed.
GODRIC: Following Janelle, in third place we have...
GODRIC: Triceratops!
TRICERATOPS: Aww, I thought I would have come in second or something. That's all cool though.
GODRIC: After Triceratops, in second place we have...
GODRIC: Lana!
LANA: Cute, I wasn't expecting that. I'm happy with second for this.
GODRIC: With only one housemate remaining, the player who is in first place is...
GODRIC: Blair! Well done on being the highest scorer in this phase.
BLAIR: Oh yeah! I'm glad I got where I am, I can properly think out the next phase through.
GODRIC: Now that we know the order for phase two, we are going to have a quick five minute break... please return to the challenge arena shortly.
*The housemates go for a quick bathroom break.*
*******
GODRIC: Welcome back players, now that we are back let's get phase two under way with. Griffin, as our sixth place housemate, you are first to hear what prize you have received from this challenge.
GRIFFIN: Perfect!
*GRIFFIN gets up from his seat and goes over to the sofa.*
GODRIC: How are you feeling Griffin?
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I'm good. I'd have been a bit more excited if I was in a different position but I don't want to think about that.
POOK: You came last buddy, how come?
GODRIC: Pook, shut up!
GODRIC: As you are aware, you have earned a prize from your specific ranking. Are you ready to find out what prize you have received?
GRIFFIN: Yeah!
GODRIC: Awesome... so, for finishing in...
POOK: LAST PLACE!
GODRIC: SIXTH PLACE! You have received...
GODRIC: "THE VETO".
GRIFFIN: Nice!
GODRIC: Since there are no other prizes in play at the moment you cannot trade your prize with anyone.
GRIFFIN: That's fine with me, I'd have kept it anyway.
GODRIC: Good to know. Please can you make your way back to your seat.
GRIFFIN: Thank you!
GODRIC: Amar, as you finished in fifth place... you are next to find out what your prize is.
GODRIC: Amar, for finishing in fifth place you have earned a prize. The prize that you have won is...
AMAR: ...
GODRIC: "A CHALLENGE ADVANTAGE".
AMAR: Ooh, nice one.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep it if you wish, you are eligible to trade your prize with Griffin's.
AMAR: Thank you for the option but I will stick with my prize. A challenge advantage is going to come in handy.
GODRIC: Okie dokie. Thank you for your decision Amar, you can make your way back to your seat.
*AMAR goes back to his seat.*
GODRIC: Next up in fourth place, we have Janelle!
GODRIC: Janelle, for finishing in fourth place you have earned a prize... The prize you have won is...
JANELLE: ...
GODRIC: "+1 EVICTION VOTE".
JANELLE: What a spectacular prize, I could benefit for having an extra vote under my belt at this stage in the game.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep this prize if you want, you are eligible to trade this prize for Amar or Griffin's prize.
JANELLE: I will keep my prize bunny man.
GODRIC: Thank you for your decision Janelle, please can you make your way back to your seat.
*JANELLE goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Next up, we've got our third place housemate Triceratops!
GODRIC: Triceratops, for finishing in third place you have earned a prize, the prize you have won is...
TRICERATOPS: ...
GODRIC: "IMMUNITY BADGE".
TRICERATOPS: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! IMMUNITY!
GODRIC: You do not have to keep your prize if you do not want to. You are eligible to trade your prize with any of the other prizes previously mentioned.
TRICERATOPS: No, no, no. Immunity. IMMUNITY, IMMUNITY PLEASE!
GODRIC: Haha very well, please could you make your way over to your seat.
*TRICERATOPS goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Next we have our runner up, in second place we have Lana!
GODRIC: Lana, for finishing in second place you have earned a prize of sorts.
LANA: Of sorts?
GODRIC: The prize for second place is... "NOTHING"
LANA: That's... disappointing.
GODRIC: You don't have to stick with this if you do not want to, you are eligible to trade with any of the prizes previously mentioned.
LANA: I will trade my prize for one of the other prizes.
POOK: Hold up, what? Someone is actually trading prizes. Damn! Which price would you like to take for yourself?
LANA: I will take "THE VETO" for myself.
POOK: Very well, Griffin you have lost your prize and now have Lana's prize of "NOTHING". Lana, you now have hold of "THE VETO". Well done.
LANA: Phew, I'm sorry Griffin I couldn't take that prize for my hard work.
GRIFFIN: I understand Lana, don't worry about it.
LANA: Thank you.
GODRIC: Please could you make your way back to your seat Lana.
*LANA goes back to her seat.*
GODRIC: Finally, we have our first place housemate. Blair it's your turn!
BLAIR: Here I am!
GODRIC: Blair, I'm sure you know already what will happen but here is your prize from finishing in first place
BLAIR: ...
GODRIC: Your prize is... "NOTHING".
BLAIR: I expected that, not a shock.
GODRIC: You do not have to keep this prize, you are eligible to trade your prize with any of the others prizes available in the game!
BLAIR: Having the choice between all the prizes is a blessing! Not only do I get to weigh up all my options but I also have the opportunity to pick the best prize for my game. Ultimately, there's so many ways I could play this, but I got to think long term. I want to be in the final and I need to do the best thing I can to ensure that happens.
BLAIR: I've thought about this, it's a hard one especially since I get to choose from them all. I have made my decision though, I'm going to trade my prize for Trix's "IMMUNITY BADGE".
TRICERATOPS: Nooooooo, not my badge! Nawww.
BLAIR: I'm sorry Trix, I need to do this.
GODRIC: Triceratops you have unfortunately lost your prize and now have Blair's prize of "NOTHING". Blair, you now hold the "IMMUNITY BADGE".
BLAIR: Yesss! Thank you very much immunity.
TRICERATOPS: ...This sucks.
POOK: Now that has been settled, let's have a look at the full list of prizes and who has won what!
GODRIC: Here is what everyone has earned during this POP challenge...
POP PRIZES:
BLAIR- IMMUNITY BADGE
LANA- THE VETO
TRICERATOPS- NOTHING
JANELLE- +1 EVICTION VOTE
AMAR- A CHALLENGE ADVANTAGE
GRIFFIN- NOTHING
GODRIC: Following this challenge, Lana is holding the veto at the end of this challenge. That means Lana you have won this challenge! Congratulations! In a moment we will return to the garden where you will make the decision on whether to use the veto to save one of the nominees on the chopping block!
JANELLE: Well done lovey, you played very well during that.
LANA: Thank you so much Janelle! What a crazy day.
*******
POOK: You fucker, I'm going to rip your head off!
GODRIC: Come at me you little shit, I'll put your six feet under!
TRICERATOPS: OMG! The divide isn't working.
JANELLE: My love, that glass divide would have never worked.
LANA: Someone should break them up.
JANELLE: Yes I agree dear.
BLAIR: I dunno, I'd like to see how this all ends.
EVEN: HOUSEMATES! PLEASE RETURN TO THE GARDEN NOW. SECURITY, KICK THESE TWO LIABILITIES OUT OF THIS HOUSE, NOW!!!
*******
EVEN: Welcome back housemates! Lana was crowned our seventh POP winner and has gained the power to veto one of the nominees on the chopping block!
EVEN: Lana, this week Amar and Griffin are on the chopping block. With your new found power, will you use the veto on any of the nominees on the chopping block this week?
LANA: Yes I am going to use the veto Even. I'm going to use the veto to save...
LANA: Amar!
AMAR: I am so appreciative Lana, thank you very much.
EVEN: Congratulations Amar! You are no longer a nominee this week, following this decision the current reigning HOH will now have to make a decision on who to replace in Amar's place.
EVEN: Blair, as the current reigning HOH you will now tell me who your replacement nominee will be. Blair, please could you give me your answer...
JANELLE: You know what to do lovey.
BLAIR: Thank you Even, with a very heavy heart... I am going to nominate...

BLAIR: Trix!
TRICERATOPS: I'm... nominated again.
EVEN: I'm sorry Triceratops but you have been nominated. Please could you take a seat next to Griffin.
EVEN: Griffin and Triceratops, you two are the final nominees this week and will face eviction. One of you will be going home this week.
GRIFFIN: Yep, that's right.
TRICERATOPS: Oh no... this can't be happening.
EVEN: Good luck guys! I will see you all on eviction night where one of you will be going home! Goodnight everybody.
ALL: Bye Even.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
TRICERATOPS: I am on the chopping block... again... with no way to save myself. I feel so defeated and sad. If you put that in with Blair stealing my immunity badge and giving me nothing, it has been a bad day. I feel like I've been thrown under the bus.
TRICERATOPS: It shouldn't hurt this bad should it?
GRIFFIN: No, it's okay to feel that way though. You've had a rough day today, losing the immunity badge and then getting put up as a replacement for Amar- it's gonna have it's toll.
TRICERATOPS: I hugged her today, I told her we were good friends... I guess that didn't mean anything to her.
GRIFFIN: She wouldn't throw you under the bus surely?
TRICERATOPS: I... I-I don't think so, but whatever she does now... it doesn't matter because she'll be safe next week.
GRIFFIN: True, she's saved her own butt for at least one more week.
TRICERATOPS: I know this is a game, but friendships matter don't they? Would you rather take money over friendship or friendship over money?
GRIFFIN: The money would be nice but I wouldn't throw any of my friends to the wolves to get it.
TRICERATOPS: And now one of us will be going home... I thought she would have put Janelle up. She has told me and everyone else she wants her gone. You'd think this would be the perfect opportunity to backdoor her?
GRIFFIN: People are complicated Trix, I'm sure she had a reason for doing so. Though I will admit, to say she really wants Janelle gone- it'd be the best time to put the plan in action and at least try and get her out.
TRICERATOPS: It'll never happen, Janelle has Blair's back and Blair knows that, why upset your closest ally when you can have them take the brunt of your actions.
GRIFFIN: It's not over until it's over though, Blair really wants to win we know that... but, even with the best laid plans there is hole somewhere. It might be the tiniest hole but it could come back to haunt her.
TRICERATOPS: Do you think that is possible?
GRIFFIN: Absolutely, no matter how well she has played the game, she still needs to convince a jury otherwise.
TRICERATOPS: OMG! Of course, how silly of me I completely forgot about it.
GRIFFIN: The only thing is though, I don't want either of us to go yet. There is so much more both you and I need to do in this game.
TRICERATOPS: I agree, I ain't ready to pack my bags and go. I want to win a HOH challenge before I go.
GRIFFIN: I want you to know that you've been an awesome friend Trix, I don't think this experience would have been the same without you.
TRICERATOPS: Likewise, I've always been able to come to you and talk. I'm going to miss that.
GRIFFIN: Are you going to campaign?
TRICERATOPS: I'll try... you?
GRIFFIN: Yeah, I'll try too. I'm sorry.
TRICERATOPS: Don't be sorry, it is going to be okay. No matter what happens.
GRIFFIN: I'll promise you this though, if you stay and make it to the final. I'll give you my vote to win.
TRICERATOPS: So will I, it'll be our deal!
EVEN: That concludes this episode of Abnormality! Lana pulled through and won the seventh POP challenge of this season. She decided to save Amar from the chopping block resulting in Triceratops being his replacement. Following this, Griffin or Triceratops will be going home this week. The question is though, who will be the unlucky housemate to leave the house next? Tune in to the next episode to find out the result of the eviction ceremony. Goodnight everybody!
