Cycle Three, Episode Five

Welcome back to Riverview's Next Top Model, I'm your host, Tyra Banks.
Last time on Top Model, Mercedes gave birth to twin girls Ann and Norelle, and everyone grew up a little.

Before we knew it, it was time for the twins to age up.

I believe that this is Ann, but I can't really tell the twins apart.

All I know is that one of them is evil.

This is the other twin, either Ann or Norelle.

It's too bad they're all ghosts, I'd like to see something other than a ghost heiress.

Unfortunately, the town glitched, and the twins had to have their birthdays again.

Once again, twins I can't tell apart.

Let's look at redundant pictures!

Stupid glitches destroying old versions of Ann/Norelle...

Aaaand the last one, you can see she's a ghost.

At the gym Mercedes met a nice green man and flirted a bit, but they never made it back to her house. Every time she invited him over he said something came up and he couldn't make it, so she gave up on him. Besides, she still had a husband, she couldn't forget about him so quickly!

Getting tired of birthdays? So am I. You'd think being a ghost haunting a legacy lot would have its advantages, but no. Here's another stupid ghost birthday, Yaya's turning teen.

I think Yaya's quite pretty.

Too bad she's a ghost. Seriously, a top model is not someone already dead!

Amanda also grew into a child. I suppose being blue is better than being dead, but not by much.

In all the excitement of a full household, Blair became ignored, and no one even noticed when he got locked in the bathroom, where he starved to death. Only then did Mercedes notice, and it was too late, her husband was gone.

Rest in piece, Blair Banks, third generation spouse and father of Ann and Norelle Banks.

In shock and sadness, Mercedes took a trip to Egypt, where she mourned her dead husband by taking in all the sights, and trying to gain a higher visa level.

While in Egypt Mercedes met a very nice man, and in her *cough* grief, she, err, reverted to her old ways and seduced him.

Back home, it was time for some birthdays. The twins were growing up into children.

I think that this is Norelle, but I still can't tell them apart.

And really, aren't all ghosts the same?

If that was Norelle, this is Ann.

I guess she's okay, for a ghost.

Mercedes invited over her Egyptian friend, and they hit it off. She brought him up to the bedroom where she might have been a little reckless.

After all, she soon discovered she was pregnant, her husband still only recently deceased. Mercedes ate the customary four watermelons to ensure a female model, then went about her business.

Now one of the two only REALLY alive sims in the house, Amanda was ready to grow up.

She's lovely, if blue, and very pretty. But blue.

Soon after, Mercedes gave birth to her sixth child. Despite trying to have a girl, she gave birth to the first boy in this family. The watermelons just didn't work. She named him Nicole anyway, and he will be eligible to be Riverview's Next Top Model. We don't discriminate.
Too bad he's a ghost.

Anyway, I'll leave you with a shot of the original Nicole.
