Valentina: Lonely nights, huh? TV's my new BAE. Beats silence, LOL.
watching TV, too bad nothing else to see in the room
sits up excitedly OMG, you're watching too?! We're TV soulmates, dude! What's your fave show? Mine's gotta be "The Bachelor" - drama, romance...
well I guess I'm not much of a TV person I don't know what my favorite show is
grabs the remote and starts flipping through channels rapidly Come on, Fleming! You gotta have some hidden gem shows, right? Tell me, tell me!
well there's one called Forging a Gangster in the making our protagonist starts off weak I think we can relate to that
claps her hands excitedly Yes! A underdog story, love that shit! And hey, maybe we can even relate to the gangster part too, you know? Like...
I mean we're both pretty poor that's kind of gangster in a way isn't it?
laughs maniacally LOL, totally! We're low on cash but high on sass, baby! That makes us gangsters in my book.
yeah and you were an actual gangster in a past life I bet
stands up and starts pacing around the room Ohhhh, you have no idea! I was like a modern-day Bonnie Parker back in the day.
how did you get into that kinda thing well I guess you could say it's in your blood
stops pacing, face lighting up OMG, Fleming, you're totally right! It's in my blood, like a genetic superpower or something.
I mean your father was a baseball player and your mom was a track star
waves her hand dismissively Ah, yeah, my parents - the ultimate power couple! They passed down their athletic genes to me, duh!
yeah and look at what you did with those genes getting into movies instead of sports
Valentina reflects on her past and the choices that led her to where she is today, sharing her story with Fleming.
so how did you get into acting and find your love for movies
leans back on the couch, a nostalgic twinkle in her eyes Well, Fleming, it all started when I was just a kid.
really I thought you were older than that
playfully rolls her eyes Oh, honey, I may have the body of a goddess, but back then, I was just a cute little thing!
I mean you still are a cute little thing you just haven't always been around here
smirks Oh, believe me, I used to be all over the place back in my athletic days! But then I discovered the magic of movies...
yeah the magic of Hollywood stars
sits up straight, eyes wide with excitement Exactly! It was like a whole new world opened up for me!
a world of fake romance and perfect hair do you ever wish you could live in that world?
throws her head back and laughs Oh, Fleming, you know it!
well that's why you're such a big fan of the Bachelor and Bachelorette
grinning mischievously Bingo! I mean, who wouldn't want to live in a world where love is just a rose bouquet away?
not me maybe you should have been an actress instead of just a fan
winks playfully Oh, Fleming, you flatterer! But trust me, acting was never my forte. I mean, I can barely speak without stumbling over my own words, let alone recite a script!
well I mean you could go on The Island and be the villain you'd have to be mean to be the villain
raises an eyebrow The Island, huh? Mean girl challenges? I'm definitely up for some mischief, but let's see if I can keep my humanity intact, shall we?
well I was thinking more along the lines of something like Big Brother but it would be fun
snaps her fingers Big Brother, huh? Count me in! I mean, can you imagine the drama? The scheming? The fake alliances?
you'd win I bet you'd win
Valentina signs up for The Island reality show challenge and becomes the main antagonist, known for her cunning and manipulative tactics
congrats you're a contestant
jumps up excitedly YASSSS! Time to show these contestants who's boss! Get ready for some serious scheming, Fleming!
starts pacing around the room Alright, Fleming, I need to come up with some diabolical plans to win this thing! Let's see... Hmmm...
I think I've got a plan for you first find out everybody's strengths and weaknesses and use that against them also make sure they think you're on their side
nods, smirking Bingo! Gotta play 'em like a piano, baby! Step one, Operation Manipulation, is all about gathering intel. Time to charm those contestants, Fleming! Time to charm 'em!
also try to get every body to hate somebody in the house that will make it easy for you to get rid of them
claps her hands together Oh, Fleming, you devilishly clever mind! Step two, Operation Manipulation: Incite Drama!
that's why I'm the sidekick and you're the villain
picks up her phone and starts typing furiously Alright, time to set the stage for some juicy drama!
