Season 1 (Bada's Love Desert)

The first season of Bada Draga's Love Desert premiered on 7th April 2024, and has aired weekly since. It is hosted by Bada Draga, and features a large variety of guest judges each week.
The concept for the show was revealed officially on 3rd March 2024 via the lovedesertshow official Instagram account. Casting opened that same day, and closed shortly before the premiere of episode 1.
== Episodic Breakdown ==
=== Episode 1: "The Casting Special!" ===
16 sims entered the villa to vie for a place on the official Love Desert cast. They mingled plentifully, before guest judges Tina Justina and Captain Omega Tauri plus residents Holly and Euan selected 12 sims to make it through, and 4 to go home. Otter, Gunther, Kristyn and Phi were eliminated here.
=== Episode 2: "The REAL Competition Begins!" ===
Special guest judges St. Salvatoré, Eden Spaghetti and Estra Doll featured in this introductory episode. The sims went on dates together, in which Arson Tits and Lezzie Homewreck stood out for their chemistry. In the vote, Arson and Lezzie won, while Mark, Anni, Oopsy and Cathy landed in the bottom for their lacking appeal and generally weak connections. The elimination was an audience vote, so it wasn't announced until the following episode.
=== Episode 3: "Two Sims Get The Chop!" ===
Special guest judges Lucy, Lucy, Beth and 'Beth featured in this episode. From the bottom 4 last episode, Cathy was decisively sent home over Mark in a tiebreaker. The sims vibe, Arson and Lezzie continued to slay, and they won yet another judge vote. Landing in the bottom was Anni and Mark for their lack of appeal, Magdalene and Harper for their lacking compatibility, and Sharon by default for ending up alone at the recoupling. Harper was especially critiqued for her introverted behaviour, due to being a loner. Harper was narrowly saved over the judges' choice to eliminate Mark Gothica.
=== Episode 4: "The Bombshell Episode!" ===
Special guest judges Madonnah Kebab, Captain Omega Tauri, Eve Devine, Nayru Love and Rhiannon featured in this episode. New bombshells Guy and Jessica entered, and Guy received instant recognition for being attractive to both the judges and the sims. Day-1 cast member Queent Eastwood continued to show his camp twink personality, and developed a strong romantic connection with Guy. The two men won the voting round as a couple in a landslide result. The rest of the couples struggled even to slightly receive good vote result, and it was a bottom 6 this week due to a tie: Harper and Jessica whom developed a romance but randomly lost judge appeal, Chel and Buddy whom were a friendship couple, Oopsy and Sharon whom were a random romance, which guest Nayru took a particular disliking to. It was again an incredibly close vote, but Chel and Sharon narrowly survived over next eliminee Harper. This vote was the most decisive so far, in which every sim in the bottom was put in last place by a judge, except Buddy.
