Adele is a preschool teacher by day, wrangling glitter, snack time, and tiny emotional outbursts with the patience of a saint. But when she gets home? It’s slippers on, knitting needles in hand, and a serious Love Island binge. She’s not just a casual viewer—she’s fully invested, muttering commentary about red flags, bad decisions, and whether someone’s “really here for the right reasons” while purling another row of her latest scarf. She’s been known to rewatch Casa Amor episodes like they’re historical documentaries, breaking down betrayals with forensic detail.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:
- setting up an auction page:
  - duplicate this page
  - edit monster's name at the top of the page
  - edit form to set monster's slug asinput[type=hidden][name="SQF_ITEM"][value=SLUG>]
  - edit form to update submit CTA with monster's name
  - connect form to google sheet
  - add monster's slug, label, and reserve price to SlugMap in Google Sheet
  - rename first tab to FormRaw
  - change formatting for FormRaw:$D (BidAmount) from Number -> Automatic to Number -> Plain text
  - copy SlugMap from "Scary Monsters Auction" sheet into the new auction sheet, rename from Copy of SlugMap to SlugMap
  - copy Normalized from "Scary Monsters Auction" sheet into the new auction sheet, rename from Copy of Normalized to Normalized
  - copy PublicSummary from "Scary Monsters Auction" sheet into the new auction sheet, rename from Copy of PublicSummary to PublicSummary
  - IF CELLS ARE NOT CONNECTED: ensure tab names have "Copy of" removed and the formulas in row 2 have been refreshed (navigate to cell, hit ENTER key twice, then navigate to next column)
  - publish PublicSummary tab as TSV (Google Sheet -> File -> Share -> Publish to Web)
  - update script block with URL for TSV
