Haus of Gaga: Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (Post 199)

[Lady Gaga]

[IDENTITY NOMINATIONS]

Hausguests, it is once again time for the Identity Nominations. Like the Fame, Simon Cowell, you have forty-eight hours to submit your guesses [January 4 at 5:00PM GMT-5]. Just a reminder, the Identity Nomination is optional, and you will receive no penalty for not providing a submission.

[Liv Tyler]

I guess I am not that great at this...

Grats to Simon~!

[Lady Gaga]

* Correction: Now that the first week of play has been completed, the person who comes in last place in the challenge is nominated, and the Fame holder nominates one person as well. Since two contestants came in last place, we will have to go to the tie-breaker question to determine who will be nominated.

The tie breaker asked, "Of the hausguests competing in this competition, about how many said that Pizza was their favorite food? The person who comes closest to the correct number without going over will be counted right. The correct answer was five hausguests.

Steven Harper

guessed

four

hausguests.

Liv Tyler

guessed

six

hausguests, and thus went over. I'm sorry, but that means Liv, you have been nominated for eviction. Simon Cowell will be choosing someone to join you shortly.

[Lady Gaga]

Hausguests, please direct your attention to the activity rule. It has been edited to encompass challenges as well. I didn't anticipate having to mandate that people to submit actions for competitions that are passes to the next week, but it looks like I am going to have to. That's all for now.

[Meryl Streep]

I thought I submitted an entry.

That's all.

[Lady Gaga]

[NOMINATION CEREMONY]

Hausguests, it is time for the Nomination Ceremony. As holder of the Power of Fame, Simon was responsible for nominating one person for eviction this week. That person is:

Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray, you have again been nominated for eviction. Please, take a seat next to Liv. Good luck in the Fame Monster Competition.

[Lady Gaga]

[IDENTITY NOMINATIONS]

Hausguests, one of you correctly identified another competitor in this game. He or she will also be on the chopping block this week, but will also have a chance to save himself or herself during the Fame Monster Competition. The person who was correctly identified, and must now join Liv and Billy Ray, is:

Steven Harper

Steven, one of your fellow hausguests correctly identified you. Please take a seat next to Liv and Billy Ray. You too could be going home this week.

Selection Phase

Hausguests, it is now time to select the competitors for this week's Fame Monster Competition. As you all know, a total of eight players will be participating in this event. Both the Fame and the three nominees will choose a player they would each like to compete, The Fame and all three nominees have forty-eight hours [January 6, 5:00PM GMT-5] to declare, in thread, their selections for this competition. To do so, post:

I pick [Name of Hausguest] to participate in the Fame Monster Competition.

[Billy Ray Cyrus]

I nominate Liz Kim to participate in the fame monster competiton.

Also, Steven is a Jerk.

[Lady Gaga]

Bump. Still waiting on submissions from Simon, Liv, and Steven. You have until tomorrow at five to announce your choices, but if you all choose early I will go ahead and post the challenge.

[Steven Harper]

I choose Weird Al.

Also, why am I a jerk?

[Liv Tyler]

I would like Kate to join us.

[Steven Harper]

I'd also like to note how I'm not going to slander the other nominees to gain an edge. I'm going to play this game fair, and with as little drama coming from me as possible.

[Simon Cowell]

I pick Annie to participate in the Fame Monster Competition.

[Lady Gaga]

I would like Kate to join us.

I'm sorry Liv, but Kate left the game during Week One due to personal conflicts (see Post 52). You must select another one of your hausguests to compete.

[THE FAME MONSTER COMPETITION 2]

Poison

Hausguests, it would seem as though I accidentally served eight of you beverages from the same pitcher as the one I had intended for my boyfriend. Do not worry, there is both good news and bad news. The good news is that there is still enough left for one more cup. The bad news, however, is that the drinks were all poisoned. That's right, my plans to kill my boyfriend have taken a slight detour. Into your blood streams. Simon, Annie, Billy Ray, Liz, Steven, Weird Al, Liv, and Meryl, with each moment that passes, your time is running out.

As luck would have it, I made an antidote that can save one of you. There is one small catch though: it is hidden somewhere on the site, and it is up to you to find it. I have written a poem just for this occasion, a not-so-outstanding work of near-art that contains clues to lead you to the antidote's location. Not only is your only key to survival hidden, but the Fame Monster pendant is attached to the vial. Find the antidote, and you become the Fame Monster as well. Find the antidote, and you guarantee yourself another week in this house and on this earth.

This competition will last for seventy-two hours [January 8, 5:00PM GMT-5] and will start with this message. I will post two stanzas each day over the three day period. The first person to follow the clues to the antidote and post their findings in thread will win the Fame Monster. In the event that no one locates the cure in the time given, no one will win, and I will have to figure out what to do with your bodies so that they don't disrupt the game.

Those participating in this challenge are prohibited from communicating with each other, competitors not participating, or anyone else on mafiascum. The challenge begins now.

Basking in fame, the monsters wickedly grin.
Higher and higher they climb
As the poison begins to set in.

Look east, they hiss
To Renegade Ridge and the rising sun.
Or the cure’s gateway you will surely miss.

Watch where the rays once shone
Along the snow-capped summit
That stands alone,

Round and round they spin
In the wonderland of the Fame,
While they wait for one to win.

It’s all in the cards, they say;
Monsters of every shape and size
Waiting for seven to waste away.

Until then, they will enjoy the fun
Under the tents and banners of insanity,
But all will cease with glistening China,
And a smoking gun.

[Lady Gaga]
