I only made this group because I've been haunted by ghosts in the night, suggesting I should be nicer to people. This is one of my pitiful attempts to avoid eternal damnation. Please enjoy.

Ah yes Ebenezer, thank you very much for inviting me to your study. I see that you're a man of great taste, looking at the guests you have invited here.
Seeing as you're trying to be nicer to people, how about you give me and the ladies some privacy? I would find that to be very nice!

Ahh Shawcroft, good to finally meet you.
*checks palm cards provided by production regarding social niceties*
So how is Team Rigg treating you?
What is this nonsense, and why should I care about his well being?? Who wrote this rubbish?
On a side note, I have had a subliminal private message from both ladies requesting that under no circumstances should I leave this room. Read into that as you will.

Team Rigg! Why Team Rigg was quite nice I must say. I was most unfortunate to begin with however, as I found it hard to make my presence known over the opening weekend due to excessive court cases that had been pending. The blasted hosts knew about my commitments and still brought me here! So even though I was not as present as I would have otherwise liked to have been, I still had an enjoyable time. The vote against John/Smee was unanimous, he even voted for himself. And there was some bonding throughout the challenge too, the hosts did a good job with that one (apart from it not actually leading to immunity).
How is Team Suchet? There's gossip floating around about The Plate receiving votes last round. Was that expected?
Oh those ladies love to joke! They're a funny bunch, ha ha ha!!!

Always, greetings. I appreciate having the chance to meet a man such as yourself, Scrooge. The invitation is greatly welcomed in my court and I do hope you're fairing quite well? I suppose the same goes towards everyone in this tiny room of ours.

Good show, Shawcroft. yes, I was out at the end of the round, because I'd found some brandy in my study and tooks the opportunity to find some alone time with it. When I retired, I had expect a unanimous vote on the Butler, but when I return, slightly soaked at midnight, I'd found it had been split. Possibly intentionally split to avoid the impact of "Gifts"? I'm unsure until I can speak again with my tribemates. truthfully, our decisions were not as obvious as those on the other tribes. Even the butler was a fine gentleman to communicate with. I fear we got the short end of the stick with no obvious duds and a very active tribe.
Of the other rooms I am in, there are only 2, sadly. Apparently nobody wants to spend time with a Grumpy old miser. Shocking, really.
Crocodile - Scrooge, Suchet, Tootles. Described as Sweet, Snug, Petite, Pretty, Little, Compact, Neat, Charming Single Trumpeter - Scrooge, Prince Richard. Described as Small, Sweet, Snug, Petite, Pretty, Little, Neat, Charming Single
how about yourself?

I suppose the same goes towards everyone in this tiny room of ours. Queen Isobel, I find myself quite delighted in your presence. These ghostly dreams have been feeling all sorts of sensations of human contact and cameraderie. Quite unfamilar, and I'm afrid the repeated forced socialisation has really taken its toll. hence my curling up in my nightgown with a bottle of brandy last night and missing events. The show much go on, as they say. I trust your team have been trating you with suitable reverance?

It's also affected my ability to type, it seems. I'm sure if I can understand the crocodile, then you can interpret my nonsense.

Oh, fear not on how well you type, good sir. I, too, can appreciate a good brandy, especially as one curls up for a night of rest and reprieve. After spending years married to my incompetent lovely husband, well, I can understand pretty much anything. Grunts, snorts, and crocodile imagery.
To answer your question, my team has been lovely. It's not without troubles, of course, but it could have been far worse. We had a simple vote on Trevor. He was a great lad, but he wasn't around much for the challenge. I suppose we could have forgave him for that, but he wasn't making waves socially, either, and got caught saying different things to different people. it made him the obvious target to leave. He was a nice enough fellow, and I did feel bad about voting for him. Since something always goes wrong, somebody forgot to vote on time, which led to a 4-1-1 vote, but it was less exciting than it seemed on paper. Having Trevor return from the land of the dead (I'm assuming there was a challenge) is awkward, but such is life, yes?

One wonders, since you were one person short in the Harris troupe, whether the returnee would have come into your tribe regardless if it was Trevor or not? It's an interesting thought. So too is the notion of how you ended up with only six to begin with. Did Neil Patrick Harris take one look at the board and run in horror (quite rightly) to avoid the production disaster against his good name? Or can the production crew simply not count? Either of these seem like perfectly valid options.
For the Suchet tribe, sadly we didn't have any inactive folks or people running about making fools of themselves. Even before my ghostly night visitors, I felt quite enamoured with all of them. Team Harris would have had a far less awkward returnee had Jonathan the Butler made it back to you. He was perfectly pleasant, and never acted a fool. Alas, you shall have to deal with sideways glances for a bit yet, as it seems the Stage "Manager" cannot be voted again this round.
If you are able, would you mind sharing who you placed in your room? And for bonus points, what description was applied to that room. I hope you've found your guests to be good company, as I have so far with my guests. I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of hospitality since I'm too mean to retain house staff. But I do have some clear broth on the stove.

Did someone say hospitality? It would be my pleasure to serve. Am sure the broth is delightful.

Sorry about that. Here I am with my hair all a mess.
The Judge has accurately described the happenings of the Rigg. It does appear that Dennis as John/Smee did in fact throw in the towel once he determined that his Gift was useless but perhaps not as useless as his way to connect to other Riggs.
Am unsure if he would have been given an opportunity to return to the set. It is not something I had previously considered but surely a self vote does not go unnoticed.

Bonjour and merci. This invitation is such a pleasant surprise upon my awakening. It's how Wham would say ... wake me up before you go go. It seems I missed many pleasantries over what was my night. Oh the joys of multiple TZs. It seems I should opt to never sleep during my days with the comedy troupe.
Scrooge, here is the information you requested. Decode as you see fit. I found the description to be very apt, indeed.
Camille's Impressive, Spacious, Elegant, Commanding, Beautiful Ensuite Impressive, Spacious, Elegant, Commanding, and Beautiful. I invited Mick the Muscle (but we've since learned it made no difference which of our own tribe we invited, none were allowed to visit), the Plate, the Trumpeter, Mrs. Wimblegate and the Deerhead. I picked them solely because I was not connected to them in any other room that I was quickly assigned to. It's actually a very quite room probably because I drank my wine, laid down on the blanket I had spread out by the riverbank and slept. Truthfully they are mainly trying to figure out who they are all connected with to help coordinate a vote. I laugh because in all my rooms, the only other Harris I am connected with is Isobel.

Bonjour and I hope you have had a Le Louvrely rest. Thank you for you input. My wall is looking more and more complete. I did notice that you seemed joined with Isobel in every room selection. Perhaps we're a simple breed and couldn't tell the two of you apart, and rather than risk an error, just chose you both. I'm sorry for my part in that. I do have room access to Tootles and Richard if you need anything passed on.

How intimate. Please wish him well from me. He was one of my favorites on Team Harris. And that would be helpful so as Isobel and I could coordinate votes. I'll just be forthright here though, Scrooge. I would love for Team Harris to gain immunity. The thought of gaining a foe and losing a potential friend is not something I look forward to in this early stage of the game. That being said, I also don't won't to put any of you in harm's way at all. It's quite the dilemma. To ask but also want to help friends we are meeting in these rooms.
In the one room I am in with him he is already trying to cause waves. He's not being a complete cad but he is ...how you say quite the bitter betty.

Yes at Team Suchet, we are in a similar dilemma, with our group particularly stacked and no real obvious targets. But for those we've spoken to, we did agree to try to get immunity for Team Harris this round. Your situation is more awkward than ours, and we must hope that you'll be able to remedy it before any assumed swap.
Oh you're in a room with Trevor? I was fortunate to miss him on my dance card as it were. I wouldn't mind a fly on the wall invite though, if I may be so crass.

Yes Mrs. Wimblegate invited him to her lately formed room. He seems more irriated with both Isobel and myself as he believed we would work with him to form a foursome that also included the Prince. What we can't confirm because, the Prince missed the deadline, is how that would have gone down. The Prince is handsome but clearly can't tell time. I don't think there is anything wrong with sharing that the prince, queen and myself formed a group chat to talk about Trevor just prior to the vote deadline. I actually set an alarm every 2 hours to get up and talk through this ordeal with the Prince since he and I are on different schedules. And the group decided to vote against Trevor. We had already talked to Mick and Tootles individually and that was done early as they both had commitments for that day. They were not purposefully left out.
Yet when I told him it really was a group decision for team unity he asked if that meant Isobel squashed his chances. And she did not. It was a team decision. But he seems interested in causing disharmony.
