The program team arranged the contestants' itinerary very closely. The fourth round was followed by a few days of rest, then the fifth round of competition began. The challenge was to get into a beach air ball, and walk from one end of the swimming pool, smoothly to the other. Note, they not only had to maintain balance, they also had to walk with beautiful poise.
The players heard Eureka's explanation and shouted out a tragic cry. When that thing hits the water, it rolls around, who can stand up?!
"Go and get a swimsuit, be happy I was kind enough to not make you walk in high heels." Eureka's face was serious, but her heart was mirthful. Her mischievousness was not inferior to Jeffrey's.
Swimsuit? Kitten will wear a swimsuit? God! Gustav's nose felt itchy, and he quickly raised his head and blocked it with a paper towel. His was filled with images of his fluffy Kitten's tender body. He even fantasized about the size and color of Kitten's most intimate parts.
Pink, it must be a lovely pink. His heart was pounding furiously while a hint of blood dripped from his nose.
"Oh my God, Mr. Acheson, you have a nosebleed!" Eureka lowered her voice and exclaimed.
Gustav quickly dodged the camera's focus, and wiped his nose while waving his hand. "There's been a lot of troubles in the program group recently, and the complaints are flooding in. I'm a bit anxious." He gave Eureka a 'you know' look.
Acheson has always had a noble and gentle image, vulgar rumors and scandals never came near his name. Eureka completely didn't suspect that his thoughts were actually in a lewd direction, so she felt deep sympathy for him. The nosebleed quickly stopped and the two chatted for a while, then the contestants finally came out.
Gustav hastily searched out Romeo, then quickly turned around to look elsewhere, his heart pounding 80 beats per minute, about to explode. He never imagined that the thin looking Kitten actually had such a hot bod, mermaid line, chest muscle, abdominal muscles, he had everything a male model should have, but his beautiful lines was comparable to a sculpture. His skin was as white and smooth as milk, his hair looked softer than the vast majority of the female contestants' hair, and he shined under the sun, like flawless Oriental jade.
He wanted to find a luxurious box to add this piece of jade to his collection, but he had to restrain himself.
Ivana crept up to the young man's side and poked his strong abdominal muscles, her face had an admiring expression. Zhou Yun Sheng also poked her abs back, a woman with abs or a man with abs, which one was more a curiosity?
They were enjoying their playing around, and the cameramen were in an oblivious frenzy to record them, but Gustav's face was black. If he didn't know that Ivana was a lesbian, he would've wanted to separate the two.
"Start the game." He motioned to Eureka to get things going.
Eureka gave a simple account of the rules then let the players get into an air ball one by one. In order to restore his reputation, Hayden went up first, but the challenge didn't go as smoothly as he'd imagined. After just two steps he fell, only to stand up and fall again, in short, as long as he moved a little he would immediately roll around in the ball.
Finally, he could only crawl from one end of the pool to the other, rolling in the air ball in embarrassment. The rest of the players laughed like crazy, they even openly pointed to his crawling butt and mocked him. Anyone could see that Hayden's popularity among the contestants was falling rapidly.
Emily covered her face, mortified, and Zhou Yun Sheng was staring at the rolling air ball, revealing a 'worried' expression.
With Hayden as the precedent, the next players tried to proceed with care, but no one could successfully walk from one end to the other. When Ivana's turn came, Zhou Yun Sheng grabbed her arm and whispered, "Go fast, step on the same seam every step, it'll help you keep your balance."
Ivana nodded and quickly walked according to his instructions, although she staggered a bit halfway, she walked to the end without falling. Zhou Yun Sheng followed next. He didn't speed, he walked like he was leisurely walking through a garden, he even had on a bright smile. When Ivana finally set foot on the edge of the swimming pool, she looked back at him and went ashore.
They came out of their air balls, and laughed and hugged each other.
"You don't want to go over and hug them?" Gustav was pissed that the judge with him today was the serious Eureka. If it was Jeffrey, he would've rushed to the two and high five and hug them in celebration, then, Gustav could naturally walk in to join them and give his Kitten a celebratory hug, even enjoy touching his milk smooth and delicate skin.
Unfortunately, Eureka completely didn't understand her boss' heart, she waved dismissingly, "Nah, serious indifference is my thing."
Can you break character into a more enthusiastic person today? Gustav wanted to make this suggestion, but he eventually held back. He couldn't go over and embrace Kitten alone, it would cause a lot of trouble for him.
Emily was very calculating, while the others went into the pool, she stood by to carefully observe and learn from their experience. Seeing Ivana and Romeo's wonderful performance, she felt the solution closing in on her, and after a little practice, she walked out confidently. She walked so gracefully, full of sophistication, like a Queen waving in a parade to hundreds of millions of admirers. Her thin string bikini almost couldn't support the fullness of her bouncing chest.
The male contestants stared. They had to admit that Emily was the most attractive female player, and also the candidate most likely popular to win.
"This woman is very good, I expect great things from her." Eureka pointed to her back and said.
Gustav lightly glanced at her and commented, "She has great potential and she can become a good model. But her body is too sexy, once she shows some skin, onlookers can't help but feel 'I'm looking at porn'. She'll only be used to sell sex. In the high-end market, she'll have difficulties gaining a firm foothold. Romeo is better for the job."
Eureka nodded, "You're right, she has a good temperament, but compared to Romeo, she comes off as vulgar. Romeo is the most pure and ethereal boy I've seen in my life. He could wear the most common clothes to the most high- end, no matter how high-end, and can make it work. Of course, now's too early to make a conclusion. We have to wait and see his next performance."
Eureka's generous praise greatly pleased Gustav. Seeing the teenager facing his direction, Gustav couldn't help but raise his chin and smile at him.
Emily and a few other female players stood close to Zhou Yun Sheng and a misunderstanding started. Red faced, the girls whispered amongst themselves, "Is…Is Mr. Acheson looking at me?"
"No, he's looking at me."
"You're all wrong, he's watching Emily. Which one of you can say you're more attractive than Emily?" Emily's friend (minion) Daphne retorted.
Emily slapped Daphne's back, her face showing a shy expression. She had no doubt that Mr. Acheson would be interested in herself. When she started developing at the age of 12, she realized that she was a stunner and could easily attract any man around her.
After all the contestants were finished, Eureka pointed at Ivana, Zhou Yun Sheng, and Emily pausing between each point, hanging the audience's appetite, then she announced, "Today's champion is Romeo. His speed, gait, and expression was impeccable. He walked on the water as if he was walking on a towering runway. Ivana and Emily, you guys did a good job, but you were obviously afraid and anxious of falling, so I have to deduct a point."
Ivana hugged the boy and squealed, the other players also sent their sincere or false congratulations, only Emily and Hayden's expressions were very ugly. But Emily's lasted for only a moment before she put on a neutral expression, while Hayden didn't even bother to cover it up.
On the way back, Hayden unsurprisingly spent the whole ride complaining about Zhou Yun Sheng, trying his best to humiliate him. Zhou Yun Sheng endured until his eyes reddened, but this time, he wasn't pretending to be sad, he was feeling real anger. He really wanted to string Hayden up by his toes.
He buried his face in Ivana's arms and exposed a gloomy expression. It seemed it was time to kick Hayden out.
Emily secretly prayed that the two would start a fight, so they could both violate the show's rules and be eliminated. With Romeo removed as her rival, her supermodel path would go more smoothly. Yes, she'd finally realized that Romeo was a threat.
But unfortunately, Romeo retreated. Not to mention using his hands, he didn't even let out a word to refute, this made Emily feel very disappointed.
Back at the villa, the TV screen showed the players' challenge scores. Romeo was ten, Ivana had nine points and Emily had nine points. These three top players from the last episode looked like they could easily one up each other, but overall, Romeo was a dark horse that was mostly likely to replace Emily as the potential winner. Emily's proud appearance couldn't match up to Romeo's pure and ethereal appearance.
That night, Zhou Yun Sheng was still the first to hit the pillow and sleep, while the other players had sleepless nights.
The next day, the players got up and discovered a card on the TV, it said – It takes courage to work with the big leagues.
The best guess was that the program group had invited a current hot supermodel in the business to participate in today's photo shoot. Who would it be? Man or woman? With this expectation in mind, the players went into the studio and saw Bonnie and Gustav Acheson standing side by side.
They instantly understood the supermodel they would cooperate with today, both men and women raised their hands and cheered.
Bonnie smiled appreciatively, "Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you've guessed it. Yes, today your partner is me and Mr. Acheson. Not only will you be free to choose which one of us you'll collaborate with, but you'll also pick the fashion you and your partner will wear and the set. You have to be careful though. Whether your photos are good or bad depends entirely on your personal taste. As a model, taste and vision is the key factor that decides how far you can walk in the fashion circle." Bonnie and Ariel didn't get along, so these words were undoubtedly a dark jab at Ariel's misfortune.
Gustav's smile stiffened at her words, he glanced at her then nodded to the players. Don't judge him by his graceful and relaxed posture, in reality, the palm of his hand was damp with sweat. Because of Bonnie's no-go, he wasn't allowed to arrange a mandatory partner for the players, so he couldn't guarantee that Kitten would pick him.
Kitten likes men, he shouldn't refuse me. But he said I was too far away from him, so to prevent himself from being tempted or to not make anyone suspicious, he is very likely to choose Bonnie. God, please make him choose me! Gustav prayed in his heart while giving the players his most charming smile.
The female players suddenly flushed in extreme excitement.
Ivana was not interested in men, she was already eyeing Bonnie, but she pulled Zhou Yun Sheng to the side and turned his head to look up at the handsome Mr. Acheson. Zhou Yun Sheng glanced at him, then very 'dedicatedly' gazed at Hayden.
This made Gustav regret his greed, he was anxious to immediately refund the Brown's family sponsorship then ruthlessly eliminate Hayden.
