Day Five, Date, & Double Elimination!

Day Five: Challenge Four - Shooting Hoops

It's a beautiful sunny morning here at the Bachelor House and Hayden has been up since dawn playing basketball. "I love to keep in shape and basketball is a fun way to do that. You get exercise while playing a game! It doesn't even feel like work!" Well said Hayden.

This brings us to the fourth challenge here on The Bachelor.

Today the girls will be competing against each other to see who can shoot the most hoops. The scores will be recorded above the hoop and the girl with the most baskets gets a lovely date with the handsome Hayden. Let's get started!

Nadia and Mollie are up first. Nadia, as usual, has shown up in some questionable attire. She doesn't seem dressed for playing basketball in 80 degree weather... 

Her puffy down jacket doesn't seem to phase her though. She sinks 5 baskets making Mollie's 1 look pretty pathetic.

Next up to the hoops are Kira and Elsie. Kira does a little dance before she grabs her first basketball. She's ready to go. Elsie shoots Kira an annoying look but quickly focuses her attention on the hoop in front of her.

Both girls finish with 2 baskets. Let's see who's next.

Ah yes, Marcie and Laney. We see our second questionable fashion choice as Laney decides to show up in her formal dress and heels. 

Seems like random outfits are good luck for these girls. Laney comes away with 3 baskets while Marcie didn't manage to get any.

It's alright Marcie. You still have your pretty looks.

Finally we have Kathryn (also sporting a fancy dress and heels) and Danielle.

It's a close final round with Kathryn making 3 baskets and Danielle managing 2. Looks like this means Nadia has won yet another challenge and secured her third date with Hayden. We forgot to mention this at the beginning of the challenge but today's stakes were a little higher. Being that there will be a double elimination, the two girls with the lowest basket scores will face being eliminated from the challenge.

Double Elimination: Round Three

Four girls gather for today's double elimination. 

Since Marcie and Mollie made the least baskets during today's challenge they face elimination along with Kathryn and Danielle who have the two lowest relationship scores with Hayden.

This elimination is quite the interesting one, besides the fact that two girls will leave the challenge today. It just so happens that Marcie and Mollie have the two HIGHEST relationship scores with Hayden, however, their athletic abilities (which are clearly lacking) might have cost them the love of their life.

"Can we just get this over with already! What's taking him so long?" Danielle seems to be getting more nervous by the second. Kathryn on the other hand could care less. She's more interested in watching funny cat videos.

Hayden finally walks into the room and approaches the girls. Kathryn is still too distracted to notice that anything has changed. Hayden takes a few moments just staring at the girls before he says anything. "This is going to be a really hard decision for me ladies. You're all such awesome people! If I could keep you all here I would. But that's not the rules of the game and it's frowned upon to have more than one girlfriend... So... Here goes."

The bachelor puffs out his chest and approaches Mollie. Kathryn finally puts her phone away and turns to Danielle with a questioning look. Marcie shoots the camera a "WTF" look. 

After Mollie gives Hayden a hug and leaves the room we are left with three girls. Marcie apparently thinks she's got this one in the bag because she starts jumping up and down with excitement. Danielle looks bored as usual and Kathryn glances at Marcie with curiosity.

Maybe Marcie is psychic because it turns out she does have this one in the bag. Hayden calls her over and gives her a hug. (Don't the other two look absolutely thrilled?)

(Yeah... not really.)

"Haha yeah! In your face bitches!" Marcie is so humbling...

"Look at those two idiots. The losers actually thought they had a chance." 

Wow Marcie, how sweet of you. Apparently Hayden doesn't mind Marcie's snide remarks as he snickers alongside her. What sweet caring people we have on this show.

Well, Kathryn and Danielle. It's been a pleasure. Thank you for being on The Sims Bachelor Challenge. We wish you success and good fortune. Now pack your bags and leave the grounds.

Nadia and Hayden's Third Date

Hayden goes in search of Nadia for their date and finds her in the kitchen of the girl's mansion... in her swimsuit.

"So, uh, we have our third date. We should probably head over to my place now." Hayden has trouble keeping his eyes on Nadia's face...

Nadia tells Hayden she'll me him in a second. Just after she puts her normal clothes on (that's a first). Hayden nods (a bit reluctantly. If it were up to him he'd have her show up in her... well you know).

Being a lovely host as usual, Hayden plants himself in front of the TV while Nadia goes to the bathroom...

Searches for food...

And eats dinner alone. At this point Hayden might just end up alone. 

Ah, but he finally decides to make conversation and cracks a joke. Nadia seems impressed.

The two end up talking for quite some time, building their relationship score and finally becoming friends. (Took long enough!)

"I'm really good with my hands. How about a massage." Ohh now that's more like it!

Hayden brings Nadia upstairs to give her a deep tissue massage.

Although I'm pretty sure that's not an expression of pleasure...

Yeah, didn't think so. Apparently Nadia didn't like the massage and she ends her date by arguing with Hayden. I guess that's what's expected from an over-emotional, insane woman.

Well that's it for today. Tune in next time too see if Nadia can smooth things over with Hayden and win a place in his heart.
