Baba Slaga

Baba's All-Stars 3 promo.

**Baba Slaga** competed on Season 8 of Love Desert. She was eliminated at the semi-final in 9th-10th place overall.

Baba is known for being an icon and having the hair that Baba has. Baba was predicted to reach the finale, but had last-minute commitment issues with ex-romantic-interest Dolly, resulting in Baba's semi-final elimination.

## Background

Baba was created by Holly, specifically to compete on Season 8. Baba's name comes from a meme regarding a note that featured many potential band names, including Slagasself's name. Baba made it through the casting special without question.

### Competing on Season 8

#### Early-Season: Underrated but Strong

Baba had a very promising start to the competition, autonomously building a romance with fellow ginger Gourd Juicegirl on episode 1. The two of them showed great potential, but when it came to votes, they landed in 3rd, 2nd and 2nd on episodes 1-3 respectively, rather than achieving a much-needed vote win to consolidate their bond.

#### Mid-Season: Drama and Success

On episode 4 came big drama as bombshell Dolly went on a date with Baba, and built a strong romance with her following some action on a bench. During this bench action, however, Gourd stumbled across them and caught Baba cheating. For no apparent reason, for the first time in Love Desert history, a relationship went into the negative when one caught the other cheating, rather than staying the same and having no consequences. This meant that Baba and Gourd were all of a sudden nothing, and never would be anything without major intervention from the judges.

The judges enjoyed the dramatic choices made, and when Dolly got with Baba at the recoupling, they won the episode 4 voting round. They stayed together through casa from episodes 5-6, placing joint 3rd in the episode 6 vote.

#### Late-Season: Downfall

On episode 7, cracks began to show in Dolly and Baba's trust for one another. Dolly started a secret romance with Laia, and the two of them started to build a romantic bond that could perhaps rival that of Baba and Dolly's. Despite this, Dolly and Baba won the quarter-final vote in a tie with Forpse, establishing the two couples as late-season frontrunners for the crown.

At the semi-final, the judges knew that some couples would likely split up, and unfortunately, Baba caught Dolly flirting with Laia. Their romance was still salvageable, but then something worse occurred. Out of the blue, Baba asked Faye for some action, and they chose the most publicly visible spot. Dolly caught Baba, and this put the final nail in the coffin of their relationship. Dolly got with Laia at the recoupling, and Baba ended up in the only romance-less couple, with acquaintance Revyrse. They were eliminated as a couple in 5th of 5 couples, while Dolly was also eliminated with Laia in 4th.

### Post-Season 8

Baba was considered a shoe-in for All-Stars 3 following her untimely elimination. She officially made it to the cast during the cast reveal on the 10th October 2022.
