Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s nice to always see a little normalcy in our lives right now…even if that normalcy comes in the form of a TSTO update! An all-new mini-event has hit our games, Summer Games 2020!
Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes. For each of the parts of the Summer Sportin’, Had Me a Blast questline, you’ll have to earn 
via various character tasks in order to unlock the prize for that part.
Time to do a deep dive into the final prize, and the only character, for this event…Stephanie Brockman.
Stephanie Brockman is a brand new character for Springfield and part of the Springfield Games Character Collection:

Make Bart Lose to the Litovians in Tetherball- 4hrs
Make Homer Watch Bart Lose at Tetherball- 4hrs

Stephanie Brockman does come with a full questline, here’s a look at that questline:
Making a Racket Pt. 1
Stephanie Brockman starts
Kent Brockman: And that, Springfielders, is why when it comes to pizza, you should always tip your delivery boy. Now let’s send it over to Stephanie for the weather.
Stephanie Brockman: Thanks, Kent. As you can see from the map here, it’s going to be another nice summer day in Springfield. I also wanted to let all my fans out there know that they are welcome to come cheer me on tomorrow at the Springfield Celebrity Tennis Tournament.
Kent Brockman: And I’d like to point out to my Kent-convent, that yes, I would have been included as one of the celebrities if I weren’t already emceeing the tournament myself! Well, that’s all for today Springfield. Catch you…on the flip.
Stephanie Brockman: *news credits roll* I’m a celebrity.
Kent Brockman: And I too, am a celebrity.
Stephanie Brockman: Good night, Springfield.
Make Stephanie Brockman Check the Weather- 4hrs
Making a Racket Pt. 2
Stephanie Brockman starts
Kent Brockman: Folks, it’s that time of the century again. Time for the Springfield Bisesquicentennial Celebrity Charity Tennis Tournament! I’m Kent Brockman, and although real sports aren’t back yet — celebrity sports are! We’ve got quite the A-Listers here, including everyone’s favorite weather girl, and my favorite wife, Stephanie Brockman!
Stephanie Brockman: Today’s tennis tournament is cloudy with a 100% chance of me winning it all!
Kent Brockman: Now, each celebrity is paired with a random Springfielder. Rainier Wolfcastle is playing with Kirk Van Houten.
Wolfcastle: I used to beat Boris Becker when I was his ball boy.
Kent Brockman: Krusty is playing with Patty AND Selma Bouvier.
Krusty: How did I get stuck with the Billie Jean Things?
Kent Brockman: And lastly, Stephanie Brockman, my beloved wife, is playing with Homer Simpson!
Homer: I’ll be honest, I didn’t think these old tennis shorts would fit…and they didn’t!
Make Stephanie Brockman Practice Her Tennis Skills- 1hr
Kent Brockman: Facing off against Stephanie and Homer are Mayor Quimby and Sideshow Bob!
Quimby: People of Springfield, I will represent you in this tournament, not as mayor, but as your beloved celebrity.
Sideshow Bob: Ah, it seems you are mistaken. As master performer on both stage and screen, I am the celebrity in this duo.
Quimby: *scared gasp* You can serve first, Mr. Bob.
Making a Racket Pt. 3
Stephanie Brockman starts
Kent Brockman: Homer Simpson remains stuck in the net for the fourth consecutive point, but if his partner Stephanie Brockman keeps serving aces, I don’t even think Andre Agassi with a wig could stop her.
Stephanie Brockman: Homer! Get out of the net!
Homer: *stuck in the net* I can’t! I’m a part of it now!
Kent Brockman: If the Stephanie and Homer duo can win this point, they win the match.
Stephanie Brockman: Homer, if your stupid head costs us this tournament…
Milhouse: I’ll help! I am the ball boy! *pulling noises* He’s too stuck!
Homer: And he’s stuck too!
Stephanie Brockman: Let’s just play! *hits ace*
Homer: We win! I always play so well at the net.
Make Stephanie Brockman Storm Off the Court- 2hrs
Kent Brockman: The Stephanie and Homer doubles duo have managed to pull out the win. We’re gonna take a quick break to fix the net, and we’ll be back with some more celebrity tennis action!
Stephanie Brockman: Kent, you’ve gotta deal with this Homer guy. My Malibu Stacy Cosmetics deal requires me to win this tournament to get my bonus.
Kent Brockman: I hate performance-based contracts! I lost my bonus last year when I wore the same tie two days in a row!
Stephanie Brockman: Just make sure I win.
Making a Racket Pt. 4
Stephanie Brockman starts
Kent Brockman: Stephanie and Homer have moved onto the next round where they will face off against Drederick Tatum and Groundskeeper Willie!
Willie: We Scots have two things: Andy Murray winning Wimbledon and Ewan McGregor being the only good thing from the Star Wars prequels!
Kent Brockman: Drederick Tatum goes to serve and…oh, he falls over! It seems he accidentally tied his shoes together! *looks around suspiciously*
Stephanie Brockman: That’s fifteen-love to us! *winks at Kent*
Kent Brockman: *winks at Stephanie*
Homer: *winks at Kent and Stephanie* I like this wink thing we’re doing now.
Kent Brockman: And Drederick Tatum aces a serve right between Homer Simpson’s legs!
Homer: Hey! I wasn’t ready! I was winking! *winks at Stephanie*
Make Stephanie Brockman Tell Homer to Stop Winking- 1hr
Make Homer Wink at Groundskeeper Willie- 1hr
Make Groundskeeper Willie Take It the Wrong Way- 1hr
Kent Brockman: Stephanie the Weather Girl has called for a timeout, a rare moment in tennis.
Stephanie Brockman: Homer! No more winking!
Homer: Oh I get it, you’re acting mad at me so our opponents hear. *winks at Stephanie*
Stephanie Brockman: No, I’m being serious! If you don’t just sit up at the net and do your job, I will go Category 5 on you.
Homer: Gotcha. *winks* I mean, no wink! *double winks*
Stephanie Brockman: *rolls her eyes*
Making a Racket Pt. 5
Stephanie Brockman starts
Kent Brockman: Having just barely won the previous match after Homer Simpson left in the middle for a snack… Stephanie the Weather Girl is now in the championship match against Rainier Wolfcastle and Kirk Van Houten!
Homer: I’m back! This place has a great lobster roll!
Kent Brockman: And with Homer having returned from the concession stand, the match will now begin.
Kirk: We got this! *does intricate team handshake with Wolfcastle*
Make Stephanie Brockman Angrily Play Tennis- 6hrs
Kent Brockman: And we’re back from our break. It’s match point for Team Stephanie and Homer.
Lisa: Hmm, why does only half the tennis court now look shiny and wet?
Kent Brockman: *winks at Stephanie*
Kirk: *sliding all around* Is this what an earthquake is?!
Wolfcastle: *sliding around* My upper body is so jacked that I have no equilibrium!
Kent Brockman: And both Wolfcastle and Kirk are down on the ground! It must be some sort of vertigo.
Stephanie Brockman: *serves ace*
Kent Brockman: Team Stephanie and Homer win!
Stephanie Brockman: I did it! *winks*
Homer: I did it! *winks*
Kent Brockman: I did it! *winks*
Lisa: You all cheated! *winks*

Up Next? Next post covers Stephanie Brockman, finally a FULL character!
Thoughts on Stephanie Brockman? Questline? Tasks? Event? Sound off below.
It is great to get a character prize since Game of Games 2 and Pride didn’t have any prize characters. Both her visual tasks are great since Stephanie practicing her tennis skills is similar to Tennis Marge serving, it would be cool if both of these tasks were at Tennis Courts and Clay Tennis Courts. Stephanie checking the weather is a hilarious task which I wish would be longer but I guess 4 hours is enough for Stephanie Brockman. I like that her 24 hour task goes to Painless Dentistry since it only has one task there and it has only been released once but I was a little surprised that the task didn’t go to the Stomach Staple Center or the Plastic Surgery Center (present and future). At least she has a task at Channel 6 and I thought her 12 hour task might be at the Weather Stations or random locations but the Squidport and Springfield Park Entrances are also somewhat random locations. I really enjoyed going through her questline, sending Stephanie and co to the tennis locations for Making a Racket parts 3-5 and reading the dialogue between Stephanie Brockman and other Springfielders.
🎾🌧️🏅
From best to worst prizes, I’d say Stephanie Brockman is definitely the best prize in this event then Patriotic Homer is 2nd best, 3rd is the Summer Games HQ, 4th is the Dancing Children and 5th + worst prize is the Sports Winners Stand.
Having Stephanie & Marge play 🎾 on any 🎾 court would be a great Character Task (6 Hour) – especially if it was visual. 😀👍🏻
I don’t know what the future holds for TSTO ….. but it would be nice if EA paid attention to Safi’s Celeb Character Poll 😉
Lisa is normally spot on. This was somewhat disturbing to see her call out ‘all’ for cheating. I’m not an *insert cheating team name here* fan, nor of any cheating, yet I feel like saying ‘Did Homer cheat? Did Stephanie cheat?’. They were not actively cheating like Kent B, but possibly Stephanie knew Kent would cheat. Or did I miss something?

It’s great and all, the new content that is coming along, but………..when are they going to have that final prize for “Rags to Riches” with Cecil?!!!! I feel like that “Coming soon” is about 5 years old now, and they just forgot about it.
I tossed her image in my “wEAther or not” post (which I linked to my name in this comment). It’s nice that she brings a little rain, even if it is just above her; but I had to revisit the post and the comments. Someone referred her as “Mrs. Brockman” and at the time I wasn’t aware of her marriage to Kent.
I checked other sources, to see when that fact was mentioned.. I still can’t find it..
If someone knows the episode or the moment the marriage was established I would appreciate it.
I think its the old thanksgiving episode…its just mentioned in conversation with grandpa and maybe homer?
Found it!
Season 2 episode 17 “Old Money” out of Kent Brockman’s own mouth during a live report at the retirement castle.
I found mine too….She’s just a girlfriend at that point yet! Lol
Nice job!
Stephanie Brockman – she’s not voiced, but she’s also not a bad Prize (still lol-ing over the “wink, wink inuendos” involving Kent Brockman, Stephanie Brockman, Homer Simpson, Groundskeeper Willie!) 😂
Nice to actually get use out of the Tennis 🎾 Courts (kinda wish one Character Task was left available permanently there), her Visual Character Tasks are amusing …. Event Prizes like this are welcome vs the usually gets Stored for obvious reasons.
I haven’t been able to log in to the game since Tuesday. No error message, the donut just keeps spinning. Anyone else having this problem? I’m in Europe.
Hi Cathrine. This has happened to me a few times. If you uninstall and re-install the game, that worked for me. Provided you have a log in and password. Good luck!
Thanks Alissa, I finished the games yesterday. Now started with the questlines. I can see you’ve completed the Springfield Games set, but I miss the outfit for Lisa. How did you get her outfit?
That’s from the 2016 Springfield Games event.
