WEEK 3:
Yes, this is still a thing. Sorry for the delay in posting this installment, but, since I am playing this with my wife, game sessions are dependant upon when we both have time and are in the mood. As any of you who are married know, finding time when both partners are in the mood can often be challenging.
As way of recap, let me remind you of which seventeen women remain and their current point total.
Kelly B (6 pts) - The brunette sheriff

Emma E (4 pts) - the karate instructor
Maddie T (4 pts) - the red-headed assistant clothing store manager
Beth F (4 pts) - the British fashion designer
Rhonda D (4 pts) - the rancher with the Brazilian wax
Irene B (4 pts) - the travel agent
Emily L (4 pts) - the blonde college math professor
Julia D (3 pts) - the short brunette police officer

This week John and the girls will be traveling to Albuquerque, New Mexico for two group dates and one one-on-one. At the end of the week, three women will be going home.
First Group Date:
The eight women going on the first group date are: Maddy Z, Irene B, Regina Bell, Heaven Bushman, Kelly B, Rosa Ritz, India V, and Sophia H.
Random Words: Complain Youthful Jelly
The group spends the day in Albuquerque's Old Town, a historic village full of Spanish style adobe buildings. The first stop on the tour is the American International Rattlesnake Museum (introduced by a montage of various snakes).
While most of the girls are having a great time with John, Kelly B seems to be pouting, at times rather immaturely (youthful). John takes her aside to find out what is wrong. Kelly admits that she is feeling jealous (jelly) of whichever girl got the one-on-one date. John reassures her that he likes her, is having a good time, and that she shouldn’t worry and just enjoy the day. This seems to pacify Kelly for the time being.
During the evening cocktail party, Maddy Z makes an impression on John (3 points) by sharing with him some rattlesnake jerky she bought at the museum. (based on random words: tasty perform)
Impression Points for the Group Date, per a roll on a weighted table:
Maddy Z 3 Points
Irene B 0 Points
Regina Bell 2 Points
Heaven Bushman 1 Point
Kelly B 0 Points (Maybe pouting was a turn off after all)
Rosa Ritz 1 Point
India V 1 Point
Sophia H 1 Point
Maddy Z gets the date rose for having the highest impression score.
One-On-One Date:
The woman John chooses for the one-on-one date is Sadie P.
Random Words: Replace Donkey Pour
The date starts early in the morning when Sadie is driven from the hotel to meet John by the side of a country road. As she gets out of the limo, she sees John standing next to two donkeys. He tells her that they are going on a donkey ride. Sadie and John mount their animals and head off down the path, or at least make an attempt. Sadie’s donkey is stubborn and won’t move. Fortunately, the handlers have a replacement donkey and soon John and Sadie can continue with their ride.
After a while, in the distance they see several hot air balloons rising over the tree line. They ride closer and find themselves in a field amidst a large crowd and hundreds of colorful hot air balloons. It is the Albequerque International Balloon Fiesta.
They dismount near a special balloon that is reserved just for them. They get in the basket and the balloon rises into the morning sky. John pulls out a bottle of champagne, pops the cork, and pours both of them a flute. They toast their relationship as they gaze at the other balloons and New Mexico spread out below them.
Impression points rolled on a weighted table: 1 point
Sadie P gets the date rose.
Second Group Date:
The rest of the women going on the second group date are Ashley V, Beth F, Emily L, Emma E, Julia D, Maddie T, Martha V, and Rhonda D.
Random Words: Hand Rake Drawer
The group meets John at Explora!, a science center with lots of hands-on experiments. The girls and John have a good time trying out many of the exhibits on display. One of the favorite rooms is Sketch Theater where each of the women get to create their own animated character (drawer). Ashley V draws a stick figure with short legs and long arms hanging at its sides. Some of the other girls laugh and say it looks like a rake.
Impression Points for the Group Date, per a roll on a weighted table:
Ashley V 2 Points
Beth F 1 Point
Emily L 0 Points
Emma E 1 Point
Julia D 0 Points
Maddie T 1 Point
Martha V 1 Point
Rhonda D 0 Points
Ashley V get the group date rose (for having the most impression points)
Cocktail Party:
(Each woman scores cocktail party impression points based on a weighted table roll. If they get a score of 3, the maximum possible, two random words are generated to explain why they made such a good impression on John.)
This week there are a couple of standouts during the cocktail party. The first is Sadie P. Coming off the romantic hot air balloon one-on-one, she continues to impress the Bachelor. (Random words: bare, intelligent) During their discussion time she opens up and bares her soul regarding her difficult life experiences and how she hopes that sharing with others, through her online internet projects, she can inspire them to overcome personal challenges and obstacles. Hearing this, John gets better insight into Sadie and realizes that she’s not some vacuous online personality, but an intelligent and highly motivated woman.
The other woman who catches John’s attention is Maddy Z. (Random words: street, whisperer) For her alone time, she leads John outside and they take a walk along the Albuquerque streets. Hoping to have a private conversation, Maddy often speaks in a whisper, resulting in a lot of on-screen subtitles.

You know the only reason the cancel culture mob hasn't come after you for this is because no radical feminist has seen it yet. Once they do, in today's political climate, it will be posted to twitter with calls to have your blog taken down and you be fired from your job. Just a warning. The world is a different place today than it was in 2019. 2020 really changed society.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but I'm not too terribly concerned. I suspect you overestimate how much people might care about this blog or how seriously they might take it. This particular post is a play session of homebrew GAME that is a parody of a dating show franchise that is still on the air and going strong in 2021, and is rather tame compared to other shows in this genre that are currently being produced and aired.
