Welcome to THE BACHELORS!
This is the most well known route to happiness and love (not really but it's the most watched one though)

Today you will get the opportunity to become a contender to the heart of one out of three brothers from another mother who just happen to be single, gorgeous and successful.
These guys are best friends since childhood but don't think that means they all like the same.

Each bachelor has their own set of likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to women. Want to know just who is the best match for yourself?

Yeah you wish.

The list of likes and dislikes will be unfolded throughout the rounds so you will have to risk it all, not knowing if you're pleasing your desired bachelor or if he's turned off by your choices.

You will have an ever-going score so no eliminations. If you happen to make a choice (either in outfit or date) that matches your bachelor likes you'll get 2 extra points for the round score, and if you match a dislike of his you'll get minus two points.
This means it's not just about the outfits here. It's not about the hottest girl. It's about the best match for our handsome boys.

So if you're still up to the game then just step right up and let the hearts start breakin-I mean, beating!

Oh but wait, maybe you'll want to meet the bachelors right?
Silly me.

What do you look for in a man?
Right now… just honesty. My ex-fiancé told me so many lies and made up all kind of stories during their last months of our relationship. I'm looking for a man who isn't afraid of telling the truth even if it might be brutal and painful. Of course, it wouldn't hurt if we have a few things in common and if not… oh well, people always claim that opposites attract.

Prologue- What do you look for in a man?

Sophie just finished with a client and was cleaning after herself when her friend burst into the beauty shop.  Sophie looked up for just a second before continuing her cleaning duty. After all, it wasn’t the first time her friend would burst through the doors to announce she was in trouble or had done something stupid.

“Hey, Soph, smile,” Sophie looked up confused and when she saw her friend with her phone in hand she smiled soon after a light flashed and a picture was taken.

“Awe, how can you be so cute,” Her friend said looking at her phone.

Photo

“Joan, why do you need my picture?” Sophie asks confused forgetting her cleaning duty at the moment.

“Oh I applied you into The Bachelor show and they need a picture of you,”Her friend replied nonchalantly.

“Excuse?! You don’t mean the show on TV, do you? Sophie asks but already knowing the answer.

“Of course I mean that If it goes well for you I will apply next year,” Sophie wasn’t one to hurt anybody but at the moment she was rethinking it but then sighed.

“So why did you apply me, for such a show,” Sophie asks softly and started to clean once again to get her mind off of the news.

“You need a man since you have been here you haven’t had any,” Joan replied still nonchalant as ever.

“I did too!” Sophie replied astonishing.

“Those boys can’t count as men, they just wanted you for one thing and re-thought it when they found out you are a nerd deep inside,” Joan replied snickering making Sophie huff because it was true.

“Seriously Sophie, What do you look for in a man?” Her friend asked her.

Sophie frowned “I don’t know I think he should be able to make me smile, talk to me about anything, having fun with each other, teasing each other….”

“And not judge you of course,” Joan stepped in.

Sophie smiled “That would be nice but I mean I just want a friend in him I suppose,”

“Oh that’s so corny,” Joan replied with a smile and typed it on her phone.

“What are you doing now?” Sophie asked her.
“Oh... your form wasn’t done yet this was the last thing,” Sophie groaned.

“I can’t believe I am seriously considering to do this,” Joan looked up from her phone.

“Hey, think about it positive,” Sophie looked at her questionably.

“Your searching for your soul-mate outside the box,” Joan replied with a smirk and Sophie really considered to strangle her.

What do you look for in a man?
I appreciate someone who isn't afraid of being both confrontational and able to compromise. It wouldn't hurt if he also could hide his manly pride and from time to time let me do things typically associated with men (f.e. paying on dates or carrying furnitures upstairs). Also not trying to constantly use me would be a plus...

Round 2
Closes at 4pm on June 2nd

So our bachelors got a chance to have a first impression on our lovely girls and now it's time to get to see and know them face to face for the first time.

Lunch has been arranged  at special and calm places around the mansion you're staying in. The locations are randomly assigned to each girl and you have two hours to woo your possible soulmate.
Oh and eat too.


Later in the evening a party was arranged only for the girls so they can get to meet one another and see the competition. It's located on a club down the avenue and attendance is optional.

R1 Requirements

-1 outfit for the lunch date in the designated location;
-1 outfit for the party or lounging in the mansion if you choose not to go;

- Describe your date; what did you talk about, did anything happen, how much of yourself and your life did you reveal? You can be as specific or as succinct as you wish!
- Did you go to the party?
  If yes: what do you think of the other girls? How much fun did you have? Did you drink much?
  If not: why did you decide to stay home? What did you do with your evening?

Round 2 date locations

Each day of the week the bachelors have lunch with one girl in one of three locations: the centre of a beautiful rose garden, the large balcony in the rooftop of the mansion and the little riverside area of the mansion, where you can see little fishes and birds chirping.

Garden - Donna, Arianna
Rooftop - Dylan, Azealia
Riverside - Sophie, Emma

Name: Donna Jean Hamilton

Age: 28 // 18th May

Bachelor: Charles Tristan

The Lunch

Donna leans against the balcony rail looking down onto the beautiful rose garden while her hair moves in the wind. It still feels a bit strange to her that she just had her first date with Charles not even half an hour ago. She reckons if anybody would ask her how it went she could honestly say that it wasn’t the worse date she has ever been to. The woman has to admit though it was completely different from the kind of dates she is used to. She doesn’t mind meeting new people but if she is being honest Donna didn’t know much about Charles before the date and now over two hours later it still feels like she hasn’t learned anything new. She can’t tell if it is part of the whole “The Bachelor” deal or if it is just how he is. Not to forget that she can’t even remember the last time where she mainly talked about herself. It isn’t a bad feeling per se but definitely a strange one.
Of course, Donna hasn’t told Charles everything about herself yet… a woman is allowed to keep a few secrets.  Besides she doesn’t feel like scaring him away before she even got a proper chance to get to know him better. And while he hasn’t shared much about himself he seemed like a charming and interesting man and for now, it is enough to give her a bit hope that he will reveal more about himself if some time has passed.
Donna’s lips are curled into a smile as she thinks back on seeing him for the first time. Charles was definitely taller than she had imagined… not that this was too hard considering she didn’t even reach 1,67 m herself. Not to forget that she has to admit that the picture she has seen of him can’t be compared to the real version at all. Of course, Donna knows that personality and character should matter more but well she can’t even deny that his looks are very appealing. The woman casts one more glance at the rose garden before she turns around walking back into her room. In her mind, she is replaying the rest of the date:
After a short introduction with a charming smile from Charles, Donna has told him a bit about herself. Like that she has been born in Alderley Edge, a small town near Manchester but that her family moved to Liverpool during her childhood. Or the fact that her mother was originally from Germany and yet Donna hasn’t visited the country herself but it is on top of her to do list… and has been there for years by now. Charles asked her if being a Music Teacher has always been her dream after she told him about her occupation and Donna actually had to stop herself from rambling at this point. She gave him the brief version for now… telling herself that there can always be time for the details later. The woman explained that music has been her passion as long as she could remember and as she grew older and started learning instruments – nowadays she only plays the guitar and the piano when she finds the time – she knew that one day she wanted to work with Music. As the date went on Donna told him a bit more about her hobbies and what movie and book genres she prefers. It might have been a pretty one-sided conversation most of the time but as the two hours came to an end Donna couldn’t help but feel a bit sad that it is already over. She knows there will be another chance and another date later and maybe this time she might manage to find out a bit more about Charles as well… even if his mysterious attitude is definitely sexy.

The Party

The party has been certainly different…” Donna thinks to herself as she walks back to her room. She has been surprised by the lack of competition but then again she reckons everybody has a different taste in men. And while she hasn’t talked with anybody from the other women it hasn’t been too different to find out who was interesting in which Bachelor. From what the woman had gathered during the week Jason was the most wanted of the men though for Donna it didn’t matter much. Her competition for Charles was far more interesting and in the end, there was only one more girl who had disappeared pretty quickly from the party. It was a shame seeing that Donna wouldn’t have minded talking with her for a bit… not that she was looking for a new friend. And while the other women didn’t concern her much she had to admit that they all couldn’t look more different. Donna was pretty glad that she wasn’t the one who has to make the decision in the end.

DONE

Name- Sophie de Vries
Age- 24

Bachelor- Jason Hemming


(Lunch, Party)

Chapter 1.1- Lunch

Sophie twirled with her hair nervously, if she had the habit of biting her nails she would be doing that but she hated that nasty habit. While playing with her hair she looked over the river seeing colourful fish and hearing birds chirping. Sophie smiled at that, the place was relaxing.

It was soon after she felt relaxed enough to stop playing with her hair that she heard a husky voice behind her "Hello," when turning around Sophie gasped not only was he tall but also incredibly handsome. "Hello," Sophie replied back with a smile. She heard her accent slip out slightly that only happens when she felt nervous. -Great my nervosity is back Sophie thought to herself.

The date went alright in Sophie's mind.

When she forgot her nervosity, they talked about her accent, where she was from, then when Sophie mention she liked to travelling they switched on to hobbies, then the conversation went a little easier. It finished too soon and Sophie was a little disappointed she liked talking to Jason.

Chapter 1.2- Party

It took one hour for Sophie to wonder what she was doing at the party.

Sophie wasn't a party kind of girl she rather be at home reading a good book or a good movie.
But she thought that maybe getting to know the other girls would be a good idea but it only helped her in feeling insecure something she hasn't felt since her teenage years.

All those pretty women really Sophie wondered why Joan thought it was a good idea to apply her for this show.

-Seriously what am I doing here, Sophie looked at the woman in the red dress, she knew the woman was one of her competition and looking at her implacable make up done, Sophie could only guess she was in the beauty branch, just like herself. The woman had a beautiful smile.

Sophie swallowed and turned around to her other competition. This woman stood in the midst of attention and Sophie couldn't disagree more even though the woman was an albino, She was the most beautiful woman Sophie ever laid her eyes on putting make up on her would be like painting a blank canvas Sophie's fingers where inching to do just that but on the other hand she didn't want to ruin such a beautiful face. Sophie signed and looked around debating if she should stay a little longer or make her way home.

Taking a sip of her coke she wished Joan of her other friend Ginger where here they made her feel important. Twirling her hair, Sophie looked at the other contestant and had to admit she was glad she wasn't going to go up against them too. Some girls were talking to each other and drinking but Sophie just sat in the corner and observed it all, taking sips of her coke and wondering when it wasn't too rude to go home.

Arianna Davies


For a brief moment she thought that she might've gone a little too daring with the ensemble. But it was only a brief moment, as she slowly fixed her hair and moved towards the meeting with potential destiny. The worst thing she could do at that time was backing off just because of a dress. Arianna couldn't help, but feel a little nervous, as with any first planned meeting she had.
But, when meeting Tony, nervousness quickly dissipated as they greeted each other. First ice broke really quickly, however Arianna decided to not to get too much into details. She let him know her job, some basic info, not giving into much detail... and certainly she didn't have a sappy story of coming to the show. He might've been intrigued/surprised once she mentioned both MMA and dancing at the ame sentence. Still, it didn't seem boring. And she mamaged to eat quite a good lunch while having fairly decent conversation... so, a plus.


The party was to get to know the competition... However, if Arianna wanted to size up the competition, she'd put herself up against other architects. Tonight was all about party... and dancing. And Arianna intended to do just that... without drinking too much of course. One light beverage and she was ready to hit the dancefloor all night long... Which she actually did, without care in the world.

Dylan Cain

Bachelor: Jason Hemming

Lunch


I didn't know what to expect when I met Jason for the first time and I didn't want to make any assumptions about what he'd like or try to fit myself into the mold of his potential ideal girl. Instead I kept things casual and light, answering his question about the meaning of my tattoo (it was to honor a dear friend of mine "Goldie" who loved the water and was lost in a boating accident a few years ago), asking him about why he thought he wanted to meet someone this way in the first place, and enjoying the delicious food. I'm not sure what kind of an impression I made but I definitely wanted to see where things could go.

Party


I'm not a huge fan of parties, or clubs but this particular event seemed like a good chance to get to know the other ladies, or at least to awkwardly size them up. They were definitely a beautiful bunch and it would be intertesting to see who ended up with who at the end of it all.

Round completed

Lunch:

Jason looked breathtaking as he sat down at the table, his eyes and oooh smile! I couldn't help but swoon!
I wish it was a one on one lunch date, yet Dylanwas sitting beside me and she was already annoying me with her chit chat. *Rolls eyes*
Half way through the small talk between Dylan, Jason and I. Jason inquired if I would like to come have a drink somewhere for a little bit to catch up one on one.
I think Jason may be the one, he is family oriented and wants a big family. He is also funny and had me laughing in stitches the whole time.




Party:
Some of the girls are so sweet and others not! I did though have a memorable night <3

Name: Donna Jean Hamilton

Age: 28 // 18th May

Bachelor: Charles Tristan

Date Plan: Bycle ride followed by a picnic near the Mansion

Pool Party

Donna isn’t too surprised when they announce that a Pool Party is happening and when she hears that the Bachelors had the idea she is even less shocked. To be honest she had seen it coming since the moment she has first seen the mansion and the huge pools. Good thing that she had come prepared and has packed three different swimsuits and knowing that the Bachelors invited them only shows her that men will always be men. Donna would be lying though if she wouldn’t enjoy the view of Charles just dressed in dark blue swim trunks. She has already noticed during their first date that he was pretty fit but now that she has the opportunity to see his bare muscular chest, she has to admit that she is pretty impressed. So far she hasn’t made a move yet instead she sits in one of the loungers just appreciating the view. She isn’t shy and has never been instead the woman is waiting for the right moment. Donna hasn’t forgotten that she has competition but she figures it can’t hurt to wait and see what the other woman has planned. As she takes a sip from her fruit drink she immediately notices that Charles is alone – no completion in sight and none of the other Bachelors – seeing that this the moment she gets up and walks over to him.
Instead of a greeting Donna simply grabs his hand pulling him out of his seat, “Come with me.” She says lips curled into a smile.
“Where are you taking me?” Charles asks flashing her one of his charming smiles.
“To the pool…” Donna tells him and after noticing his surprised expression she chuckles quietly… seems like he might have been expecting something else. “I couldn’t help but notice that you haven’t been in the water yet which is a shame considering the pool looks pretty amazing.” She stops turning around to look in Charles’ eyes, “Unless you can’t swim.” She teases with a grin. Instead of replying he just shakes his head and smirks slightly. The woman takes this as a yes as an answer and follows him to one of the smaller pools. On the way, Donna picks up one of the blow-up water balls.
“You said something about swimming?” Charles asks one of his eyebrows arched up as he looks at her.
“I did but who says that we can’t do both…” she answers shrugging, “I’m a pretty active person so you will never see me lying around lazy… so are you coming or not?”  Her lips are curled into a grin as she looks at him. He seems to be hesitating for a moment but then he laughs and jumps into the pool splashing the water straight in her direction. Donna curses quietly as she wipes her wet hair back.
“Well if you want to do it this way…” she chuckles shaking her head before she dives after him. Playing water ball turns out to be a bit more complicated than she has first thought mainly because while she can stand it isn’t his easy for her to move quickly. Luckily they aren’t counting the points because Donna knows that Charles is winning without any difficulties. They even manage to swim for a few months and while she wouldn’t have minded staying longer she can feel herself getting cold.
“Okay I need a little break…” the woman announces as she gets out of the pool, “You want something to drink?” she asks glancing down at Charles who is still standing in the middle of the pool.
“Maybe later… I will swim a few more laps.” He answers flashing her a smile. “But if you up for a revenge you know where to find me.” This time he is the one teasing her.
“Mhm, I will think about it.” Donna smiles at him one more time before she turns around to grab herself a drink… while she doesn’t get another chance to spend time with Charles, she did enjoy the moments they had together.

The Date

“So where are you taking me?” Charles asks one of his charming smiles on his lips. Donna hasn’t told him too many details beforehand just that he should wear something comfortable and he clearly followed her advice.
“Still not telling you… looks like you have to trust me.” She tells him chuckling slightly, “But I can promise you, it is nothing bad.” He looks at her hesitating for a moment but then he lets out a breath and follows her to the entrance of the mansion.
“Bicycles?” Charles aks sounding a bit surprised.
“Well, I did tell you that I’m an active person.” Donna laughs brushing a strand of her hair back, “But no reason to worry, we won’t be moving all the time. I also prepared a small picnic for us.” She points to the little cooling box instead of the basket in front of one of the bicycles. “I don’t want to be responsible for one of the Bachelors starving.” She teases with a bright smile. “And since I didn’t get my revenge at the Pool Party, let’s see if you can keep up with me.” Donna gets on her bicycle trying to get a headstart… she already knows that she will need it. Charles might not have mentioned it yet but this muscular body didn’t come from anything. And in the end she is right since it doesn’t take him long to catch up with her and yet she can’t stop laughing. It isn’t a competition between them – Donna knows she would lose it anyway – instead, soon they start slowly doing not only to enjoy the beautiful environment but also to talk with each other.
“So you definitely enjoy sports and yet you are only a music teacher. How come?” Charles asks looking at her from the side.
“Oh well, I might be pretty good at running and most ball sports but I’m horrible at rope climbing… oh and then there are those stupid climbing poles. I don’t know how often I tried and I don’t even want to know how I must have looked to others but it also felt like I was more sliding down.” Donna explains biting her lower lip, “I did consider becoming a sports teacher but since I just didn’t manage to get to the top of the rope and pole. So I gave up and settled for my bigger passion.”
“Must have been a pretty funny sight for the others.” Charles grins, “But sounds to me like you never regretted your choice.”
“Not a single day. I enjoy teaching children and it makes me feel happy to see them loving music as much as I do.” She tells him lips curled into a happy smile.
For the rest of the bicycle read Donna tells him a bit more about herself, her family and her friends… there are still topics though she doesn’t mention yet. She tells him the story of how she broke her foot as a little child, that she has never seen Lord of the Rings in her life and that she took part in a marathon again and while it has been a life experience she would never do it again.
For the picnic, Donna has decided on a secluded spot – which she has seen from her balcony – near the mansion. Since the weather is rather hot she has only brought fresh fruits and a few drinks.
“I wish I could have brought more…” she says as she gives Charles a bowl of the fruit salad she has made in the morning, “But I don’t want us to get sick… not that I get thrown out of the competition.” She adds lips curled into a grin.
“And we don’t want to risk that.” He replies grinning as well.
“Of course not but maybe I could cook something the next time.” Donna offers as she looks at him.
“Is that a promise or a threat?” Charles asks clearly teasing her.
She shakes her head punching him slightly into the shoulder, “A promise but only if you can behave. I don’t cook for everybody… so maybe you should feel honored.”
“Oh, I’m feeling honored.” He tells her flashing her a charming smile. For the rest of the picnic, they talk about various things and discuss some of her favorite music plays. It is already getting dark as they finally head back to the mansion and later as they say goodbye, Donna hopes that Charles enjoyed their date as well.

DONE

Name- Sophie de Vries
Age- 24

Bachelor- Jason Hemming
Date- Starwars Convention and then a cafe close by.


(Pool party, Date)

Chapter 2- Pool Party

“I didn’t know you had a tattoo," Sophie looked up from the water into the soft eyes of Jason.  “I do, I got two,” Sophie replied with a smile while Jason sat next to her. “Tell me about them,” Sophie pointed at her side “This one was my first got it when I turned seventeen to honour my grandma who died when I was 11,” Sophie took her left leg out of the water and pointed at her tattoo “And then I got this one when I turned twenty for my parents 25 years of wedding anniversary because I couldn’t be present already having moved,” Sophie looked at his tattoo, “What about your tattoo?” He looked sheepish and signed “It was a bet that I lost, that’s why I like the sentimental of tattoo’s like yours,” Sophie smiled “Thank you,” 

They talked some more Sophie was enjoying herself and even pushed him into the water or tried to at least because he pulled her with him both laughing when they broke the water for a breath.

Afterwards, Sophie talked to some of the girls already feeling less nervous than the week before it did also help that Jason gave her a little attention. She didn’t feel like the outsider of the bush. She didn’t think she was in love with him yet but she did like their friendly banters and talk.

Chapter 3- Date

“Hello Jason,” Jason looked up from his phone, “Hey Sophie, so where are we going?” Sophie smiled, “It’s a surprise,” She did feel a little nervous but she also wanted to let Jason see another side of her. When they arrived at the destination Jason looked around him surprised, “Wow,” Sophie hummed, “Welcome to the star wars convention,” When she saw Jason still looking around Sophie felt insecure once again maybe this wasn’t the best idea. “I wanted to show you another side of me,” Jason smiled at her, “It just surprised me you don’t seem like a ...” Sophie smiled, “Star Wars geek?” Jason smiled and shook his head, “I wanted to say fan,” Sophie kept her smile on her face and chuckled softly. “Not the biggest but yes certainly a fan,” Sophie grabbed his hand, “Come on I will show you around,” They were walking around with Sophie animatedly pointing things out and telling stories.
Sophie was enjoying herself immensely, she wasn’t so sure Jason was but she hoped he wasn’t too bored. “Sophie!!,” Sophie could turn just in time to catch her friend ginger who was hugging her immensely, “What took you so long?” Sophie smiled sheepishly I was guiding my date around. Ginger looked behind her, looking Jason up and down. “You are hot,” She replied bluntly making Sophie wanted be swallowed her alive but that was Ginger for you blunt as day. “Uhm, thank you,” Jason replied politely and Sophie mounted a “sorry,” Jason just gave her a nod. “Sophie! What are you wearing??” Sophie signed, “I didn’t bring a costume, so normal clothes I suppose, calm down Ginger,” the girl glared at Sophie and pulled her along I got another costume for you, “Wait! Ginger, I am on a date,” Sophie tried but got ignored like always. Looking at Jason she almost felt like crying, “She will be done soon,” Ginger yelled after herself.

Sophie was happy when she was done, “You look great Sophie,” Sophie just nodded quietly at left the room.

Sophie as Aayla Secura

“I am so sorry about that,” Sophie said to Jason who looked her up and down “Sophie?” Sophie nodded at Jason. “Wow,” Sophie nodded, “I know,” Jason brushed against her arm, “Are you painted?” Sophie laughed and shook her head, “Only my face is, I am wearing a latex suit, my friend is a fantasy costume designer,” Sophie explained. But ready to keep exploring? Jason looked around and signed “I suppose,” Sophie smiled at him, “I am sorry you feel out of place,” Jason gave her a confused look. “You were looking around like you didn’t belong, I know that look,” Sophie replied with a smile, “I promise I will only show you the cool stuff,” Sophie grabbed his hand and pulled him along after some strolling Sophie had enough and walked with him back to the dressing room to re-change in her normal clothing.

She walked to Jason and smiled “Still up for a little meal?” Instead of answering Jason touched her cheek softly “You still had some blue make up on,” Sophie blushed, “Oh thank you,” Jason smiled “and I am certainly up for some meal.

Jason and Sophie went to a small café close to the convention that served French food Sophie enjoyed it immensely and once again felt into a simple chat with Jason about travelling.

Bachelor: Jason Hemming

Pool Party



I assumed that sooner or later we'd be poolside and I was prepped for it. One of the perks of being a costume designer is the ability to whip up a custom suit. I made sure that my cover-up (a must with my skin) was sheer enough to show off the handiwork, but not too sheer that I risked getting burned. I was also slathered in sunscreen. Despite the precautions though I spent most of my time in the shade, not wanting to risk a bad sunburn just so I could be social. This of course meant that I only had a few passing words with Jason...at least they were pleasant

The date



To make up for the extremely limited amount of time that we got to spend together at the pool party I wanted to plan something incredibly memorable for our date. Jason looked a little skeptical when we pulled up to the hole in the wall I'd selected. I didn't blame him, from the outside the place was more than a little dingy; inside was a different story though.

"Are those axes." He asked raising an eyebrow as he started to try and make sense of the scen around him.

Along a back wall, protected by a clear barrier there were targets set up, and people were throwing axes at them.

"It's urban axe throwing." I explained. "Figured it could be fun."

It was fun, and I think that we were both better at it then we thought we'd be.

"I never expected this." He said as we sat over a round of beers after our session was over.

"Well what did you expect?"

"I don't know...something else."

"Just a sign you need to get to know me better." I smiled

"Maybe I do."

We sat there talking until the bar closed and as I settled into bed later that night I thought it only could have went better if things ended with a kiss...

Round complete

Arianna Davies



Her swimsuit was actually her sister's pick. But she'd never tell anybody that. Right now, all she had to do was to pull it off and relax... Which was exactly what she did, sitting at the edge of the pool, her shoes laying next to her as her legs are dangling from the edge, cooling in the water. She enjoys her moment of relaxation, even chatting up some girls that went up to talk to her. She seemingly didn't bother with with talking to Tony... until one point when she decided to go up to him and chat a little... Chatting was a strange way to describe a slight flirting and jokes about him checking her out.


Honestly, Arianna was out of ideas, but there was one thing she had in mind. She took Tony to a dance show event that took place in the park. One of the performing crews was her sister's and Camellia was leading them in the routine. In her mind, Tony was surprised on how identical they were looking, to which she treated him with a story on how they pretended to be one another and nobody noticed except their parents... who gave them the scolding after they both came home. She might've mentioned that look, occasional switching places and dancing were the only things that connected them.
Well, she wasn't supposed to tell Camellia where she was going, but they certainly spotted one another and exchanged short waves and smiles before going their ways.
Afterwards Arianna really had no idea what to do, so she improvised... and that resulted in takeout coffee and accidental trip to a pet shelter that lasted quite shortly, as time to end the date was drawing near... And maybe that was her undoing...

Azealia Dominique:

Pool Party:



Date: TBA

Round 4
Round 4 closes at 7pm on June 6th


Things are starting to become more complicated for our bachelors as the competition moves forward, especially for our boy Jason.
But still don't be fooled, those who wish for Charles or Tony, because our men won't settle for just anyone.

You just had a date with your bachelor, in a spot of your choosing, and now it's time to get to know more about each other.

For your next date you'll try out one of the many things our boys like from food to activities.

-Donna Hamilton
Charles will take you to an astronomy museum and planetarium in the afternoon and giant telescope after dinner. He will talk about his passion for astronomy and teach you how to recognize constellations in the night sky. You'll also learn that his parents were both university teachers and his wealth comes from his grandfather and his pharmaceutical company. For dinner he will choose Thai food, which is one of his favourites.

-Arianna David
Tony loves extreme sports so you'll be watching a moto gp race live and you can bet he will be rooting for the French pilot to win. He will be pissed if his Italian rival wins the race (you can choose who wins). During dinner he will talk about how much he thinks of the other bachelor's as brothers and talk about his dreams of starting a nature protection program and institution. He will also let you know he was engaged before but his ex left him on the altar. For dinner you'll be having sushi and other Japanese delicacies.

-Sophie de Vries
Jason is a man with a simple taste. He will take you fishing during the afternoon. He will tell you how he loved to fish with his dad before he died of cancer 8 years ago. He will also tell you he has never been in love. He has liked girls before, but never felt actual love and he will confide that he isn't sure a tv show will be able to make him feel it.
For dinner you'll have paella, tortillas, enchiladas and sangria.

-Dylan Cain
Jason will take you horse riding through a long and breathtaking valley in the afternoon. He hasn't forgotten about your condition so he will make sure you'll ride under the shadow of the big trees so you don't turn into a puffy lobster. He will also tell you that he never fell in love before and his certainty that a tv show won't make that happen...probably. He will also tell you he used to have a horse when he was a kid and he still has some in his parent's ranch. For dinner you'll have chilli con carne, burritos and tequila flavored beer.


At dinner time all of you will also be asked a few questions which will be summarized in a "you'd rather" round.

Round 4 Requirements

- 1 outfit for your date in the appropriate setting

- A brief description of your characters feelings about the date experience, what they liked the most and the less;
- Please answer these "You'd rather" questions:
  Sweet or Spicy?
  Tame or Wild?
  Gym or Couch?
  Books or Movies?
  Sun or Rain?
  Beef or Salad?
  Alcohol or virgin? (The drinks ofc)

A night under the Stars...

When Charles asked her for another date, Donna felt happy and excited. She knows of course that her competition would be spending time with him as well but she tries not to think about it too much. What she is really excited about though is the fact that Charles will be the one planning the date this time. She has been curious about his interests for a while now and she can’t think of any better opportunity to find out more about the charming man. At the same time, she has tried to remember the last time she has felt this excited about a simple date. To say that his choice of the place surprised her would be an understatement. Charles has come in the morning to pick her up dressed very casual and simple and yet Donna has to admit that he is still very good-looking and sexy. 
“So are you really taking me to an astronomy museum and a planetarium?” she asks as they are heading to one of the cars provided by the show. She is still surprised despite a few days passing since he asked her out and she knows that it is showing.
“I am.” Charles replies laughing at her expression, “I don’t know if I should feel offended by your reaction or not.”
“Oh trust me; it is a good thing… I mean me being surprised and not expecting this.” Donna tells him glancing at him from the side, “I did have a few guesses about your possible interests but astronomy didn’t even come close to anything I could think about. But don’t people always say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” She adds chuckling.
“Well now you made me curious, what was your – mhm let’s say – top guess?” Charles asks lips curled into a smile.
“Sports.” She answers without hesitating for a second, “I know that I’m probably totally wrong with this one – mainly because I think it would be too obvious - but I don’t think you can blame me this much… I mean just look at you.” She says with a not so short look at his chest.
“Yeah, you are right with this one… I’m not that much into sports.” He replies with a shrug. During the rest of the car ride, Donna asks him how he got into astronomy in the first place and Charles tells while he can’t remember the exact moment, he knows that he loved looking out of the window at night noticing all the different constellations. So he started picking up books on this matter and with every new constellation, he discovered through his telescope his passion grew bigger and bigger.
Donna has to admit that the astronomy museum is nothing like she has imagined it… she hasn’t visited a museum in years and those she can remember from her school time all seemed awfully boring. But she shouldn’t forget that she has never had her personal guide before… a very charming one she tells herself as she follows Charles through one of the large rooms. So far he has explained the history of astronomy to her and showed her some of the older telescopes the museum has. Donna tries to listen to his words but she finds herself getting easily distracted by his passionate expression whenever he tells her another story. Things get a bit more interesting for her taste when Charles leads her towards the planetarium and once she is sitting in the cozy seat she tells him that this is definitely a place where she could stay for a while. He laughs and says that it will get even better. Watching the planets, important and different constellations turns out to be very fascinating despite them only being a video projection. There are a few moments where she asks herself why anybody would think that the constellation looks like an animal because to her it looks more like somebody connected random stars with each other.
“And what do you think?” Charles asks her once the show is over.
“It was clearly fascinating though I have to admit I wouldn’t recognize one of those constellations… even if I tried.” She admits chuckling briefly.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that. You just need to know what exactly you are looking for.” He explains, “But we will get to this later… first dinner. I hope you like Thai food.”
“Oh, spicy food is always good.” Donna smiles at him brightly.
During dinner, Charles tells her a bit more about himself, like that both of his parents were university teachers and that his family wealth actually comes from his grandfather and his pharmaceutical company. Donna hasn’t been expecting this but for her, it just once again proves that you should never judge a book by its cover. It feels nice spending time with Charles, just talking and getting to know each other. Later as they walk back to the planetarium because he did promise to show her more constellations and how to find them on her own, he offers her his jacket after seeing that she is cold. Donna thanks him lips curled into a smile while hoping that he doesn’t see the blush on her cheeks.
Stargazing is a lot harder than she could have imagined, even with his help she has a hard time finding the stars Charles keeps pointing out to her. That he is standing right behind her doesn’t make the whole situation any better. She can feel him whenever he moves and sometimes he would place his hands on top of hers to help her move around the telescope. Donna doesn’t know how long she is standing there looking at all the stars but then she finally manages to spot one of the constellations he had been talking about it. It is the Big Dipper and with a bit of squinting her eyes, she can kind of recognize it.
It is late and yet kind of too early for Donna’s taste as she and Charles get back to the Mansion. It has been a wonderful date and she thinks it is a shame that it has come to an end. He walks her back to her room and she still has his jacket around her shoulders as they stop.
“Thank you, Charles.” She says lips curled into a smile handing him back the jacket, “And I’m not only talking about this one… it has been very fascinating even if I’m not sure how much I will manage to remember.” She laughs tucking a strand of her hair back.
“You are welcome, Donna. I’m glad that I could teach you at least something.” He tells her and she doesn’t know if it is because of his charming smile or because of the wonderful evening but it doesn’t matter much in the end… she gets on her tip toes pressing her lips against his.
“Good Night, Charles.” She wishes him after pulling back. She looks at him one more time before she opens the door and slips into her room.

Chapter 4- Date II

"I'm ready," Sophie told Jason smiling up at him.

For some strange reason Sophie was excited to go fishing with Jason but maybe it had less to do with the fishing and more to do with the person she was going with.

Sophie had been sure she had ruined all her chances with him but when he had asked her Sophie hadn't expect she would be so happy about it. But she had been.

"Not yet," Jason smiled down on Sophie and put a cap on her head, "I don't want you to get burned,"

"Thank you," Sophie looked in his eyes and shook her head, "Are we going?" Jason nodded simply and laced there hands together,  "I won't get lost you know," Jason laughed,  "Good but last time it felt nice," Sophie smiled and mumbled,  "I though so too, "

They had a simple ride and Sophie hummed with the song making Jason smile, "You like the song?" Sophie nodded,  "One of my favourite singers," It wasn't to long after that Jason started to sing the song along. Sophie was impressed.

Soon after they arrived at destination.

"Ever fished before?" Sophie was looking around and nodded slowly. "Went a lot with my grandpa when I was younger but then he went to a retirement home and died soon after, fishing wasn't the same any more after, "Jason nodded,  "I understand what you mean I lost my dad eight years ago to cancer it is indeed difficult to fish without him," Sophie nodded,  "I am sorry about your dad,"I am just glad you won't be bored, I would hate to bore you," Sophie smiled, "Not bored easily,"

They where fishing for an hour when Jason broke the silent,  "What are you reading?" Sophie looked up from her book,  "On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin," she replied and Jason mouth may or not have fell open,"I expected a romance," Sophie smiled,  "Got two of those with me but will only read them, when my brain is to mush to keep understanding this book," replied smiling at him. Jason had a thoughtful look. "Why don't you read them now?" Sophie looked at him seriously, "Because is fiction I don't believe love is that easy I would have fallen in love a long time ago if it was," Sophie hoped she made sense,  "But at times is good to get lost in fiction," Jason had a thoughtful face. "So you never been in love?" Sophie though about it for a second and shook her head, "No" Jason smiled at that, "Me neither," Sophie kept looking at him. "I have had girlfriends before but never was in love with them and not to sure this show with help with that," Sophie smiled, "Touché, that would be to much of a romanced story,  oh and I think you got a catch," Jason looked confused till Sophie pointed at his rod. "At least if the show didn't work you caught something," Sophie was laughing her eyes out and soon after Jason got over his astonishing he had to laugh too, "Funny Soph, real funny," Sophie just smiled bigger at him.

At dinner Sophie was tasting and eating everything,  it was so delicious. When a song came and Sophie told him she loved salsa music he grabbed her hand and dance with her properly once again surprised at how well and sensual she could dance salsa. So Sophie confessed she did style dancing till she was seven before switching to more sensual dancing like flamingo, salsa and the chacha.

Later before leaving Sophie went for a cheek kiss as a thank you for the lovely night but Jason turned his head also ready to say something so there lips connected Sophie doesn't know who deepened the kiss but she doesn't mind it at all.

Date Summary

I'd never been horseback riding before but it was an amazing experience, especially with Jason who was clearly intune with the animals. I was surprised to learn that he stil had some at his parents ranch and shared with him my thought of how our parents homes tend to become musuems of our pasts merged with their presents; for him that seemed evident with is horses and for me it was with the random things that I realized my parents still had of mine such as the first costume I ever sewed back in high school still carefully preserved in a cedar chest in the attic.

He told me that he'd never fallen in love before and that he was unsure if a television show would change that. I told him that I understood, not only were theses odd circumstances to meet someone but we were seeing each other in a very compartmentalized way because all of our interactions centered around dates as opposed to every day minor things where it was likely our bad habits would be revealed. When he asked me what one of my bad habits was I confessed that while reading I sometimes yelled at the characters in the books even though I knew it wouldn't make any difference. "I also squeeze the toothpaste from the top which I'm told is annoying." I confessed. We both laughed a little and I was pleased when he revealed a bad habit of his own.

I was pleased that dinner was a nice spread of food that felt homecooked as opposed to catered and I was glad that Jason had some fun "would you rather?" questions.

My answers were as follows:

Spicy

Tame

Couch
 
Books

Rain

Beef

Virgin

I wasn't sure if they were "right" per se but they were honest and in the moment that was all mattered...I was curious to see where things would go next.
