He's so cranky lololololololol
It was like talking to a wall. Iris scowled. "You are a child."
Urban · Blue_Pizza
Well, that's one way to deal with the problem
"There was a bee behind you," Skyler deadpanned.
Urban · Blue_Pizza
OUCH 😭😭😭
Larry peered over her shoulder and winced. "Ooh... Tough luck! Those cards are <The Fool>, and there are only two in the box. Well, were."

Yayy card time next chapter!!!!! Can't wait!
ch 10 Introductions

Okay that was kind of sad... Give Iris the reward money so she can go travel the world!!
$100 weren't a lot in the grand scheme of things, so she hoped she wouldn't need much for the assignments. Luckily, she was very good at rationing...

"Wonder if it's chocolate..."
In her periphery, she caught sight of the short haired girl biting into one Cupid Coin, as if to verify its authenticity. Iris resisted bursting into laughter, for she'd had the impulse to do the same.

Unless Tops has a kid in the future and also gets lazy with naming
"At least it's not four," Sara joined in.
Urban · Blue_Pizza
Headcanon that he gave himself this nickname when he was like 6 but it stuck and now he has to pretend it has a cool reason like "I'll always be at the top"
"Christopher is my father," Tops drawled, toying with designer sunglasses in one hand. "Eveyone calls me Tops."

He knows his fans well
"Congratulations, contestants, you have survived your first assignment with no blunders!" Larry clapped his hands, which led to a smattering of perplexed applause. He suddenly stopped and turned serious. "Now, I'll announce the results... Even though ya'll probably memorised it," he muttered the second sentence under his breath.

I'm glad you didn't describe his muscles straining against the blazer or something because that's all to prevalent in romance novels... and also not how blazers work at all 😭
Three years had changed him for the better on the outside—gone was the untameable fringe that always got into his eyes, replaced by a neat crew cut, and his blazer fit his form in ways it probably wouldn't have when he was younger, making it evident he now worked out. Those eyes remained as striking as ever, though, if she were to disregard the fact that they no longer looked at her the same way.

Unfortunately most of them are too busy clocking in their 40 hours of practice to join a dating game show 😔

OOH NEW POV
Travis Beckett was amused by the woman sitting across from him, #10.
Urban · Blue_Pizza
Introverts and people with social anxiety:
After her pen left the paper, Iris slumped down in relief. She had finished her first assignment with one minute to spare. Who knew simply ogling people—and being ogled—could be this stressful?
Urban · Blue_Pizza
'Genetically blessed' is my new favourite alternate to 'conventionally attractive' XD
Eleven other genetically blessed women and men wordlessly observed one another, some more low-key than others. Iris instinctively looked away when a roguish man in a black leather jacket locked eyes with her, only to fall into the eyes of someone else she did not want to be making eye contact with—Skyler.
Urban · Blue_Pizza
Okay, I'll defend Skyler for you! In his defence, he's thinking of Iris subconsciously as a habit because he was with her for so long, and he's actively trying to get over her. Plus, this is a dating show, so conventional dating doesn't really track here. As long as he doesn't project his feelings about Iris onto Maddy, then it should be fine hahaha
ch 0 8 Blind Date (2)

If he keeps being this green of a flag, all the contestants (and viewers) are gonna fall for him!!
"I believe the person comes before their choice," Skyler admitted. "There's no point judging another's' choices if you don't understand the person who made them. And if you still don't understand their decision even if you know them inside out... Then it probably means you never knew them at all."
Urban · Blue_Pizza
Ooh, he got around the name thing. Smart
"...Then I took a sabbatical and spent a year on a spiritual retreat in Country B. Honestly, it healed my mind, body, and soul. And after it ended, I quit my job for good. Have you ever went on one, Sky?"

Poor things, they don't know how clothes work
