34. PROJECT SIMSTYLE (2)

Ricardo: Welcome back after the break. In a moment we will find out who will stay and who will have to leave the program.

Olimpia: Do you think the participants are ready for this?

Ricardo: I don't know about the participants, but our jury is definitely ready.

Olimpia: This is the moment everyone has been waiting for. But before we start, let's recall the creations shown this evening.

Ricardo: Out of the 10 participants who began their journey in our program, three were chosen for the best outfit today. But also three other participants were selected for having the weakest outfit. Unfortunately, two of them will be leaving the program today. 

Olimpia: Dear jury, please give your verdict.

Izzy: We saw many great projects, so the decision was not easy. However, when it comes to the best three, we were in agreement, and the audience only confirmed that we were not wrong.

Diego: Today's episode winners are... Chen, Arnaud and Maja!!!

Octavia: These projects amazed us. They were the very first 3 outfits, but they stuck in our heads - original and interesting. The checkered set is classic and in the same time very modern. 

Diego: The long floral skirt had an unusual combination of colors. And the fur with the shorts and colorful tights was a bull's eye, very unique. Congratulations!

Izzy: Unfortunately, now it's time to deliver the bad news. The 3 styles that came out the worst today were...

Izzy: Manuia, Ambroshia and Penelope. Manuia, the whole form was too tight. If the model is struggling to catch her breath, something is wrong.

Diego: Ambroshia, your work was simply boring. The red accent didn't save it.

Octavia: Penelope, your styling would be perfect for fall, but not for spring.

Octavia: Unfortunately, this is the moment when we name the first person leaving the Project SimStyle today. Manuia, I'm sorry, but you're out.

Izzy: It was a very difficult choice, and the fact you all had literally 0 points from the audience, wasn't helpful, but we could only kept one person.

Diego: And that person is Penelope. Penelope, you're staying today. Ambroshia, I'm sorry, you have to leave the show.

Manuia: Too bad, I thought I had a chance. Maybe I should go to that fashion school after all?

Ambroshia: I don't understand any of this, I dressed Judith Ward...

Ricardo: That's all for today. Thank you for watching!

Olimpia: And join us in the next episode of the 

Project SimStyle!

Anna: We are so proud! We knew you would stay. I was watching the results on BlueSky the whole time.

Maja: Thanks mom, we'll see what the next competitions are.

Anna: My little girl will be the new fashion guru!

Maja: But the competition is tough. Most of them already have experience.

Anna: But you were in the top three!

Filip: Mom is right, and it'll be even better from now on.

Jace: Honey, you were great. I know you like getting compliments, but this time you don't have to ask, you simply deserve them.

The next week Bastian was again focused on tasks for the Grim Reaper. The Green Lady's Lost Tome and the new Ambrosia Newsletter explained to him exactly, what he'll need to create Ambrosia.

Catching an angelfish seemed difficult, but the waves were clearly in Bas's favor, because by evening he managed to catch a nice specimen.

Bas: Doggy, this fish has to stay here for now, so don't try anything with it. Good thing you're not a cat...

Jace took photos of Maja promoting her spring outfit, and she did a stream for fans, talking a bit about the behind-the-scenes of the show, the hardships and stress associated with it. After that first episode, she gained a lot of new followers.

Bas finally found time to test his rocket. There's not much time left until the Science Fair.

Bas: Step back, doggy, it's going to splash.

Jace: Oh, come on! That was fantastic! And that parachute at the end - great idea!

Bas: Do you think I have a chance to win, Dad?

Jace: Of course, champ. This is a really great project.

Maja: How's your crisis?

Jace: Since you asked, you know, I've been thinking lately about what your mom told me, that maybe it's all because of my dad. And I have this idea, hehe but, well, I don't know if you'll like it.

Jace: I've thought this through carefully. What would you say if I invited my dad to Bastian's birthday?

Maja: What? You really want that? After how he treated us? Our relationship?

Jace: It's family, though.

Maja: Family? He doesn't care at all about what's going on with us.

Jace: That's... not entirely true. He calls sometimes, but I always hang up. Maja... I need this. Please.

Maja: Okay. But you'll make sure things don't get weird. And your sister is still banned.

Jace: I promise.

Jace: What would I do without you?

Maja: You probably wouldn't have a midlife crisis. Come on, let's work on our relationship satisfaction, because right now we're doing pretty mediocre, for us.

There's one more task left from Grim. This time Bas asked for support from his friends.

Paul: Are you sure it's somewhere here?

Bas: That's what the map says. But in this rain and darkness I can't find the way. Wait! Look, it's here! The portal!

Laura: I don't like this place.

Bas: Come on, it's great.

Rom: Bas, let's go back.

Paul: This time I'm with Rom.

Mary: Bas, let's get out of here. It's weird here. Besides, Barb wrote to me that parents are starting to ask about us.

Paul: We're going home. See you, Bas.

Rom: See you tomorrow. Maybe that place wasn't that important after all, Bas. Don't worry.

Mary: Yeah, whatever's there, I'm sure there's another way to get it. Take care, cousin. 

Laura: Bas, I think you should pass. These tasks from Grim seem harder and harder.

Bas: Not at all, you're just a bunch of cowards.

Laura: Seriously?! Or maybe you're the one who's obsessed?! Okay, Bas, I'm going home. And you... do whatever you want. But don't drag us into this anymore. 

Bas: I won't! I can do this on my own! I don't need you at all! AT ALL!!!
