*On the couch*
Willow: Girls, we really need to get our shit together! We've gotta stop with the distractions. I don't want to keep losing! I came back with the intent to win and I don't plan on changing that.
April: Oh I know, I know Willow, I'm sorry! It's just, Arya's my friend too! And I care about her and she is acting completely out of line!
Willow: I know April, I completely understand. If Jesse and Levi or any of my friends were out of control, I'd want to help them too. But this is Arya we're talking about. It's not like she's ever been kind to you.
Isla: She makes a good point. Besides, we can just vote her out next and then boom, no more crazy rage-a-holic for you to worry about.
April: Vote her out? But -- But I don't know! If she gets booted out, then who knows if she'll get the right treatment! She doesn't have the best support system at home ...
Isla: It's not like she's gonna get any better here. *stomach growls* Oooh boy ... I'm feeling a bit lightheaded ...
April: Take some of my water! Have you eaten yet today?
Willow: Isla you can't keep starving yourself. Why do you do that?
(C) Isla: They seem like girls I could trust ... So, maybe I'll just be honest with them. *stomach growls* Okay okay, I will ...
Isla: You two don't ever, like ... See all of the other skinny girls at school, or on tv shows, or Instagram and feel like you're ... Not as pretty as them?
Willow: I mean, it's crossed my mind before ... But I don't really dwell on it. Why do you say that?
Isla: Well ... I just wanna be pretty like them. I want guys to notice me. I thought the only way I could do that was to be skinny ...
April: Oh Isla! You are so pretty girl! And guys do notice you!
Isla: Yeah, they mostly notice me because of my stomach noises ... Edward calls me nicknames ... They don't actually notice me 'cause I'm pretty.
Willow: You're talking about stereotypical jocks and Edward here, emotionally unattached men. So you think by not eating you'll become pretty like the models?
Isla: That was the thought process, yeah *stomach growls* Ow ...
April: I knew there had to be something going on! Isla, you are so pretty! But you're getting dangerously thin! You need to eat!
Willow: Yeah seriously, you're gorgeous. Don't let the famous women get to your head! Eat a hamburger now and then, live your life!
Isla: You two really think I'm pretty? ... Thanks, guys ...
April: Now please, drink up and eat up! We've got a challenge to prepare for!
(C) April: Oooh I just feel so bad for Isla! That poor girl! I'm so glad she opened up to us though! This is exactly the type of moment Arya needs!
(C) Willow: Isla is sweet, I feel bad for her. But no wonder she's so weak. If we can get her to eat and perform well, not only will I have another ally, but maybe we'll finally win again!

*At the dining area*
Lilith: I hope you're not mad about Corrie leaving, Trevor ... I'm sorry about that. Just to cover my own butt, I didn't vote for him!
Trevor: It's okay Lilith, don't worry, haha. Of course I'm sad to see him go ... But I can't dwell on it. We spent so much time together. Now with him gone, it's kind of opened up the door for me to pursue other friendships, and to focus on the challenges more too.
Iris: That's a great mindset to have Trevor. We're gonna need that to keep our win streak going!
Ray: Indeed. I'm quite enthusiastic about how well our team is doing. Sure beats the dysfunction of the Brawling Beetles.
Lilith: You're not wrong ...
(C) Ray: I'm going to venture a guess that our team should be pretty solid here on out. Just looking at it on paper, our team is far superior heading forward. However, should we lose again, Trevor is next on my list. I find his charisma intimidating. After that, well, I'll possibly be looking to dump one of my other allies. I'm fully prepared to look at my every option and do whatever it takes to proceed further into this game. Making friends was never the goal. It's winning that money to pay for my education. You've seen the American schooling system, no? It's complete malarkey and overpriced. Nothing a million dollars can't fix.
Levi: I'm glad you're taking it great man. I'll be the first to admit, it still feels weird just knowing that Lizzie isn't here anymore.
Iris: Levi, this is a great opportunity for you to prove that you're more than just "a boyfriend". Remember those fans who called you a floater?
Levi: Yeah, I didn't really appreciate that ... I know I can hold my own.
Lilith: Prove them wrong then son! Haha! And write us a song, would ya? I hear you have killer pipes!
Levi: I haven't really had much inspiration yet for a song idea. Maybe one will come to me soon!
Trevor: I'd like to hear a song, I've never heard you sing either!
(C) Levi: Everyone here is giving me much more confidence to go out there and compete. It feels ... Really nice! Maybe I'll get back in the mood to work on a song too!
