“That’s great.” I lie.
“Keep up the good work, the boys seem to really listen to you since you know what’s in their contracts, it’s good that they trust you.”
My coffee tastes like wood in my mouth. “Yeah, they do, we have a special relationship.”
“It shows.” It’s starting to get a bit more overcast as Lucas and Grace walk up in full makeup. Today they have Lucas wearing a navy blue beanie, white sweater, and baggy jeans with a black and white plaid shirt wrapped around his waist while Grace has her hair in a low braid an is dressed in a long sleeve black and white plaid dress with an open neck. She looks adorable, but she always does.
Lucas has his cue cards in his right hand and compares them to Grace’s while standing by the platforms. The production crew has been set up for two hours already when the girls arrive each of them are wearing a different color and variation of black pleated skirts, different colors of tall knee socks with tennis shoes.
The guys filter in from the two different makeup trailers wearing black t-shirts with their band name on the front, and white swim trunks. They all look really nervous, Sookie has his innocent act back for the cameras.
Within minutes we’re ready to roll, and Lucas looks down at his cue cards then back up at Director Simon. “Welcome to Day Four of Date Your Idol, I’m your co-host Lucas from SWT.”
Grace grins over at him. “And I’m the person who actually gets to date their idol in real life, Grace Lee. We’re so excited to dive into the challenge for Day Four!”
The idols clap along with the girls.
“But,” Lucas holds up his cue card. “There’s a twist. While all guys are participating, only the girls will be answering the questions, you each get three questions, and each correct answer is worth ten points, if you get the question wrong, however, you get to pick which idol you want to see get dunked.”
The girls all start clapping and giggling again.
Grace points to the platform. “The idols will be attached to bungees and harnessed in, you’ll notice that the platforms twelve feet high, if you’re chosen to get dunked, the bungee will pull you backward and down into the water, dipping you in before coming back up, each of you have a ladder in front of the platform if you need it, who knows maybe the girls will get all the questions right!”
“I don’t know,” Lucas laughs. “Some of these seem really hard, gentleman please make your way to the platform.”
The guys from TestME go first and line up on the right while Jay, Kai, Rae, and Sookie line up on the left. Sookie has a nice smile on his face as if this is the best day of his life but I know he actually hates unpredictable games like this so he’s probably internally dying.
Rae looks excited and Kai keeps looking over the edge of the platform in slight panic mode. Jay just looks somewhat bored which is normal when he’s on camera, or not board but mysterious.
The safety crew steps off the platform after helping the guys get in their harnesses all mumbling between each other.
Sookie raises his hand. “These have been tested, right? A real human went on this and didn’t die?”
“Didn’t you sign a form that said in any chance of sudden death the show isn’t liable?” Lucas jokes.
Sookie’s fake laugh comes out a bit forced while Eric pipes up from the end of the line. “I’m afraid of both heights and water.”
“Then let’s hope the girls get the questions right.” Grace says. “Shall we begin?”
The girls cheer.
“Dueri, what’s the capital of The Netherlands?”
Dueri answers quickly. “Amsterdam.”
“Correct!” Grace smiles.
Lucas speaks next. “Iseul, was Cleopatra from Greece or Egypt?”
Iseul looks at the camera. “That’s a trick question. But I believe she was actually Greek.” She makes a face. “Am I right?”
“Correct!” Lucas says. “Beth, in what country did it used to be illegal to own only one gerbil because they were afraid the animal would get lonely?”
Beth’s eyes bug out. “Um, America?”
“Incorrect.” Lucas winces. “So that means you’re picking an idol to soak. Choose wisely!”
She eyes all the guys, most are begging not to be sent over the edge into the water which is kind of cute. Sookie stands tall.
“Sookie.”
Oh the other girls aren’t going to like that.
“I see how it is.” Sookie winks at her then grabs ahold of his harness as he gets jerked back and dropped into the water. When he pops back up, he’s completely soaked through and what’s even more relevant is the fact that the white shorts are clinging to his thighs and also leaving nothing to the imagination about if he’s packing.
He adjusts his shorts a little bit, but it’s no use since he’s in a harness, and there’s no question in my mind that Director Simon probably did it on purpose.
