WEEK 2:
This week, John Summers, our Radio Show Host Bachelor, will be taking the women on dates around the Los Angeles area. There will be two group dates and a single One-on-One. Since there are 20 women remaining, three of the women will not be getting dates.
First Group Date:
[Eight women are picked randomly using rpgsolo.com’s custom list option.
Three random words were generated to inform the date: Puzzling Future Bless
A little internet research was done to fill it the gaps with locations and other details specific to the area.]
The following women are chosen for the first group date:
Kelly B, the tall, leggy sheriff with curly brown hair.
Maddie T, the red-headed clothing store manager.
Regina Bell, the Medeterrainian right fielder for the Canadian Wild Pro Softball team.
Rosa Ritz, the dark-haired Instagram Chef.
Irene B, the travel agent.
Emily L, the tall, blue-eyed college math professor
Maddy Z, the tanned hobby shop manager.
Heaven Bushman, the attractive black real estate agent who likes romantic movies.
The eight women are driven to the Albertson Wedding Chapel, one of the most highly recommended wedding chapels in Los Angeles. They meet John outside, but when they enter the main event room they are greeted by 7 men dressed in tuxedos standing to their left, 7 women dressed in wedding gowns standing to their right, and Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker, standing between the two groups. [Yes, we know Patti is now based out of New York, but celebrities can fly...on a plane...not literally.]
Patti explains to John and the girls that an important part of a relationship is compatibility. To test if the girls have what it takes to determine compatibility, they will be taking a test. Each of the 7 grooms and 7 brides in the room are part of a currently engaged couple. It will be the bachelorettes’ job to determine which groom goes with which bride. Each woman will have three minutes to speak with each groom and bride in a speed dating type situation. After everyone has been interviewed, the women will make their guesses. The girl who gets the most correct wins some extra alone time with John.
[The number of correct matches was rolled randomly for each girl.]
The winner was Maddy Z, with a perfect score of seven correct matches. (For anyone interested, Regina was next with 6, Rosa Ritz did the worst with 1, and everyone else was in the 3-5 range.)
After the results were read, the bachelor and bachelorettes were invited to stay to witness the group wedding for the seven couples. [Please ignore the logistics of how you can have a wedding for seven couples in a venue that accommodates a maximum of 40 guests. This is a fantasy, after all.]
Later that night, John and the women meet for drinks and additional alone time. [Same rules as week 1’s cocktail party. Each girl gets time with John and earns an impression score between (-1) and 3. Scores are listed below.]
KELLY B 2
MADDIE T 2
REGINA BELL 2
ROSA RITZ 0
IRENE B 0
EMILY L 1
MADDY Z 0
HEAVEN BUSHMAN 1
John offers Regina Bell the group date rose. [Random choice from the highest impression scores].
One-On-One Date:
[One woman is chosen randomly and the date setup is the same as for the group date.]
Maddy M, the short blonde blogger/aspiring author, is chosen for the first One-On-One Date.
[Random Words: bells wing desire]
John picks Maddy up the next day in a sleek, black convertible. The two speed down the highway to a small airfield and stop near an old restored bi-plane. The two hop in the vintage vehicle and take off for some sightseeing. Caught up in the romance of the moment, John and Maddy are able to maneuver enough in their seats give each other a quick kiss, the first kiss of the season. When the tour is over, the plane lands in San Francisco.
A limo whisks them away to picturesque Coit Tower, a favorite location for the Bachelor franchise. At the top of the tower a table is set for two and they enjoy a meal and conversation while looking out over the city.
[John’s impression of the date is determined by a 2d6 roll on the weighted One-On-One table. The date can score from 3 to (-1), with (-1) having a 50/50 chance of not receiving a rose and going home. If two 1's are rolled, the woman automatically does not receive a rose and must leave. Random words are generated to determine why.]
[Impression roll = double 1's (Automatic No Rose) Random words: ripe cherry]
Over dinner, whether it was because she was feeling the moment or feeling the wine, Maddy speaks a lot about how much she enjoyed the kiss on the plane...and I mean a lot. She leans in often for more kisses and gets one or two, but then she begins to tell John how sexy he looks and how she can’t wait to get under the sheets with him. Maddy doesn’t stop there but begins to speculate on how great their lovemaking will be once they are married. John is really turned off by Maddy’s aggressive amorosity. “I’m not here looking for sex,” he tells her. “I’m searching for love and romance.” With that he explains that he believes they are on different pages and he can’t see giving her a rose tonight.
Maddy leaves Coit Tower alone.
Second Group Date:
[Same setup as the first group date, choosing only from the remaining women. Random Words: Pine Obeisant Cub (We had to look up Obeisant to learn it meant “to bow before a king”)]
The eight girls going on this group date are:
Julia D, the brunette police officer.
Beth F, the British fashion designer who received the first impression rose.
Isabella P, the blonde college wrestler
Rhonda D, the blonde, brown-eyed rancher.
Emma E, the brown-haired Karate instructor.
Sadie P, the black online influencer.
Andrea J, the tall nurse.
Ashley V, the woodcarver with long, black hair.
(Women not receiving a date this week are India V, Martha V, and Sophia H.)
The women are told to dress for the outdoors and a limo bus picks them up at the mansion for their date. It takes them to meet John in the Angeles National Forest. They are dropped off near a trail that is lined with tall, majestic pine trees for a day of hiking and enjoying nature. The hike ends at the Wildlife Waystation Animal Sanctuary where John and his dates have a chance to see many of the creatures that are being cared for there. One of the biggest attractions is a newborn lion cub that the girls get to take turns holding and feeding. The day ends with drinks and conversation around a campfire at a nearby campground.
Impression scores:
JULIA D 1
BETH F 0
ISABELLA P 0
RHONDA D 2
EMMA E 2
SADIE P 0
ANDREA J 1
ASHLEY V 1
Emma E wins the tiebreaker roll and receives the group date rose.
Cocktail Party:
This will follow the same rules as the first night Cocktail Party. Each girl will have an opportunity to speak with the Bachelor and earn an impression score from (-1) to 3, based on a roll on a weighted table. That score will be added to her date score and her total from the previous weeks.
Results will be listed in the following manner:
Name: (Cocktail Party Score) + (Date) + (Previous) = (Total Points)
Rosa Ritz: 1 + 0 + 2 = 3 Total
Emily L: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 Total
Sadie P: 1 + 0 + 2 = 3 Total
Maddy Z: 1 + 0 + 2 = 3 Total
Kelly B: 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 Total
Isabella P: 1 + 0 + 1 = 2 Total
Ashley V: 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 Total
Julia D: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 Total
Rhonda D: 0 + 2 + 2 = 4 Total
Maddie T: 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 Total
Beth F: 1 + 0 + 3 = 4 Total
Emma E: 0 + 2 + 2 = 4 Total
Heaven Bushman: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 Total
Regina Bell: 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 Total
Andrea J: 0 + 1 + 1 = 2 Total
India V: 1 + NA + 2 = 3 Total
Martha V: 1 + NA + 2 = 3 Total
Irene B: 1 + 0 + 3 = 4 Total
Sophia H: 1 + NA + 1 = 2 Total
Rose Ceremony:
Since Maddy M went home during the One-On-One, only two more women will be going home after the Rose Ceremony. Women getting roses will be determined in a similar manner to week 1. The main difference is that a d8 will be rolled (instead of a d6) on a weighted table. The higher a woman’s total score, the better their chance of getting a rose. If more or less than two women have not received roses, total score will be used to determine which women on the bubble receive roses and which do not. See week 1 for more details.
The women who receive roses are (in no particular order):
Regina Bell (date rose)
Emma E (date rose)
Heaven Bushman
Maddie T
Beth F
Julia D
Ashley V
Kelly B
India V
Sadie P
Rhonda D
Martha V
Irene B
Emily L
Maddy Z
Rosa Ritz
And the final rose of the evening:
Sophia H
Women who did not receive roses and are going home:
Isabella P
Andrea J
