Hollywood Challenge 12/20/18

During last round Nicholas Burke had somehow become transparent, which had me worried, but luckily when he went off to work this round he came back normal.  Whew!  Other than that, nothing really to note.  Nicholas and Lexie worked, but didn't get promotions, Nicholas padded his celeb hours by bartending, they paid another $5000 towards Rachel's tuition, and Michael went to school.  Neil Pederson almost didn't make it through this round.  He's been on a health kick recently, wanting body points, so I sent him out jogging.  He came home overheated, but went straight to the bathtub anyway.  He got out of the tub and immediately passed out.  When he revived he went to bed, waking several times to pass out and dragging his Hunger bar into the red.  I managed to get a plate of leftover spaghetti into him somehow, despite his falling asleep in the plate every few minutes.  He went to bed again, passed out a few more times, but finally got his needs high enough to stave off immediate death.  It was a long day for poor Neil.  Sydney Drake had the day off from her Culinary job, but she still went to the gym in the morning for her personal training gig.  Afterwards she invited Andrea Hogan over to hang out.  They had some comfort soup, danced, flirted, and by the end of the night they had mutual crushes, though they're not yet best friends.  All in all, a successful day for Sydney.  The Silvers did their usual routine.  Jocelyn went to work while Dante hung out at home for the day.  After work, they both went out to do their celeb hours, then back home for dinner, skilling, and bedtime.  Next round they will start trying for a baby so that should be more interesting.  Nolan Pederson, having recently graduated, settled into his new apartment, found a job in Culinary, did a little bartending for his celeb hours, and spent some time trying to get to know his neighbors.  Since he fell in love with Samantha Sanders while in Uni, she will likely be moving in with him as soon as she graduates.  Until then, he'll keep doing what he's doing.  The Karrs finally got back to work this round, with Brandi landing a promotion.  They made a significant gain on their money requirement, but with Caryl leaving for Uni next round, they won't be able to progress on that for a while.  They also lost a couple of friends and will lose a few more when Caryl leaves, so the friend requirement has also taken a hit.  Hour-wise they're in good shape with 93/100.  The Sanders both met their celeb hour requirement this round.  Samantha also finished a cookbook and got a promotion in her elder job, which helped to balance out the tuition payment a bit.  Savannah should be graduating next round, so hopefully they'll get the Uni debt paid off and having some time to save before Brooke goes to Uni.
