Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Giada and Natalie had retreated to a nearby hotel for some respite after their departure. The nearly hour-long bumpy car ride had left Giada pale and seething. "I swear, I felt every bump," she fumed. "If they don't beg me to come back within two hours, I won't."But the evening arrived, and there was no word from the show's team. Giada did not seem to mind; she was comfortably lounging, engrossed in texting her boyfriend, recounting the day's events.Natalie, on the other hand, was growing increasingly worried as time wore on, her brow creased in anxiety. "Why haven't we heard anything yet?"Hearing this, Giada tutted dismissively, "Natalie, what are you so worried about? If they haven't contacted us by now, it means they haven't figured out what to say to make us return."Despite Giada's reassurances, Natalie could not shake off a sense of unease."If you're really fed up, you should call the director and tell him we want out of the contract
'Within the insular world of the entertainment industry, rumor mills have always churned. Word of Farm Face-off persistently trying to rope in Finn has been rife, the program's official Facebook page not once refraining from extending an open invitation. Despite their unwavering persistence, there hadn't been a peep from Finn's camp. Mockery has flooded the industry corridors, with many deriding the show's audacious desire to lure Finn. After all, he's the pinnacle of stardom—why would he ever agree to appear on a humble variety show? Yet now, he's agreed? When has he arrived? And if he truly is guesting on Farm Face-off, is termination of our contract still in order?'At this moment, Giada felt a pulsating pain in her brain. "Is this official Facebook page legit? Check it out. Could it be a hoax?" she urged.Her assistant shook her head. "No hoax. They may not have many followers, but it's authentic. What's more, Finn's studio has already shared the post."Natalie and Giada clicked
Ever since Lauren had learned of Finn's arrival on set and his confirmed participation in the show, she had been in a state of blissful stupefaction. Now, even as she sat in her room, the reality of it had not fully sunk in. After what felt like an eternity, she turned to Wyneth. "Do you know what it feels like?"Wyneth blinked in response. "Huh?""It's like a dream come true. Can you imagine that?" Lauren cradled her face in her hands. "My manager would be over the moon if she knew. Finn! It's Finn! I didn't think I'd be on a variety show with him so soon after entering the industry. I just hope he isn't difficult to work with. He's a top-tier celebrity. Won't he look down on us newcomers?""He won't," Wyneth asserted. "He's pretty easy-going.""Really?""Mhmm.""But, how do you know—"Before she could finish her question, there was a knock on the door."It's late... must be the staff. I haven't taken off my makeup yet, I'll go." With that, Lauren jumped up and flung open the
Wyneth raised a slender eyebrow. "What about you? If we move over there, does that mean you're going to come and stay here?"Finn fell silent for a moment, gazing into the room behind her. With visible difficulty, he muttered, "I suppose... it could work." After all, he could not bear the thought of his sister sleeping in a place like this.Wyneth had not expected him to agree. She was well aware of Finn's fastidiousness when it came to cleanliness, having been his sister for years."Go ahead." Without waiting for her response, Finn was hurrying her along once again.Wyneth hesitated for a moment. "You go back to sleep. I've already spent a night here. I don't have any cleanliness obsessions. I'm quite accustomed to it.""Wyneth...""Good night." With that, Wyneth took a few steps back, paying no heed to Finn's reaction, and promptly shut the door in his face.Finn's nose almost got clipped by the door."Alright, let's go." His manager, Anna, urged him from behind. "She's more
The next day, Wyneth and Lauren rose and spent the better part of the morning tidying up. It was past 6:00 a.m. and there was no sign of the show's crew coming to knock for filming."Why haven't they come by today? Maybe they've learned their manners after yesterday's fiasco?"Wyneth chuckled at the comment. The showrunners wanted to capture female stars in their natural state for the shock factor. But now, they had Finn. There was no longer anything more sensational than Finn. All in all, other gimmicks paled in comparison to the draw of a top-tier celebrity. Wyneth kept her thoughts to herself, merely saying, "Let's step outside and see.""Okay."Lauren followed her out. Just as they crossed into the courtyard, they spotted a familiar face—Giada. Compared to yesterday, her makeup today was more vibrant, her heels even higher. It was clear that she had put in effort to look her best. They saw her standing there, peering inside with an expression of eager anticipation."Giada?" As
The arrival of Finn had caused the production crew to reshuffle their filming strategy overnight. After all, their plans already included different challenges for every day. Yesterday's events were meant to be solo efforts, but today, they decided to divide the participants into small teams of their own choosing. If anyone was left without a team, the crew would assign them one.As yesterday's team leader, Derek was the first to question, "How many in a team?""Pairs or trios; either works."No sooner had this statement landed, than Finn strolled in, fashionably late. He was clad more casually than the day before; a dark blue shirt paired with black trousers, his glossy forehead concealed beneath a black baseball cap. All that was visible was the stunning beauty of his eyes and the tight press of his lips. As he entered, cameras swiveled his way, not only the lenses but also the eyes of the crew and the other guests. For Finn, who had performed countless concerts, being the center o
If they were to pair up, given the current gender ratio, the most logical combination would be one man and one woman per team. Otherwise, the discrepancy in physical strength might be too glaring. Among the three female guests, Giada had a penchant for pulling rank, and her attitude from yesterday left a sour taste in everyone's mouth—no one wanted her on their team. Lauren, on the other hand, was young and prone to complaints. Not knowing much about each other, most gravitated toward Wyneth, whose calm and poised demeanor marked her as the best choice.When Lauren saw Wyneth pair up with Derek, a wave of panic seized her. Though she had only just met Wyneth, she had found herself leaning on Wyneth's calm demeanor throughout their journey together, feeling a burgeoning sense of reliance. She had initially hoped to pair up with Finn—the dream team being herself, Wyneth, and Finn. But now, with Wyneth and Derek paired up, anxiety got the best of her. "Isn't two people per team a little
'What's with the guilt-ridden feeling?' thought Finn.With the formation of the two teams, they all parted ways, each given their designated tasks.Originally, the plan was for Finn to manage their team, but to everyone's surprise, Finn crossed his arms in a defiant stance, haughtily saying, "I'm not handling this stuff." His sole reason for being on this show and in this team was his sister—Wyneth. He did not want to bother with the rest. Thus, Derek had no choice but to assume the mantle of team leader once more and took the task book.Upon seeing the location, he said, "We have quite a few tasks today. Let's head out." The team promptly moved to follow Derek.After the departure of Derek's team, Harry and his team also received their task book. After some consultation with Henry, Harry took on the role of the leader. "Let's move out," he said as he and Henry made a move. Upon looking back, they noticed Giada was still standing in her place, her eyes fixated on Finn's retreating
