Future Bachelor Challenge Rules

Pre-Game:

Start with 21 Contestants ( 3 Dorm Houses of 7 Contestants Each) and 1 Bachelor/Bachelorette
I have tons of contestants, people keep sending more, and I recycle them. The actual tv game show has 25 girls to start (I had to look that up because I've never seen it). So, I thought...well, I could do that too :p

Bachelor/Bachelorette: Each game will be identified with a letter. Our first game was letter "A". I will try to find a single Sim already in the game that has either a first or last name that begins with that letter. Preference will go toward Sims that came with the game, followed by: children of those Sims, my Sims, and lastly if I cannot find a Sim with the necessary name, I will create one.

Contestants: Contestants will be a combination of ones submitted by other people, ones submitted by me, and other Sims that are present in game that are looking for love. I will try to make it primarily Sims created by other people, however. Contestants will be recycled so you continue to root for your favorites until they find their match. To submit a Sim, please see the post in this blog discussing that or e-mail me at Flohk13@aol.com for more details.
Contestants in a previous round of Bachelor can spend their aspiration points before the start of the game to give them an advantage over the younger contestants.

During each round, the Bachelor spends a day at each dorm. Other than need requirements and 1 "check-out Sim" per contestant (for LB purposes), all actions will be autonomous.

Round 1:
2 Eliminated; 19 Remain
Round 2:
2 Eliminated; 17 Remain
Round 3:
2 Eliminated; 15 Remain
Round 4:
2 Eliminated; 13 Remain
Round 5:
2 Eliminated; 11 Remain
Round 6:
2 Eliminated; 9 Remain
Round 7:
2 Eliminated; 7 Remain; Those 7 move into the Date House and begin the game.

During each round I will focus on 1 or 2 Sims to give you more info about them and to develop their personality more....similar to how they do it in a real game show to help you develop attachments.

Elimination for Pre-Game:
As in the game, scores will be based upon the top relationship score added to the bottom score. However, Sims with a negative LB will be the first to go, followed by Sims with no LB, 1 LB, etc... So, essentially, 1 LBs have immunity until we run out of negative LBs and no LBs.

Game:
I plan on reducing the 1 on 1 time even more than I did for the first one! I am finding it completely unnecessary as the Sims interact on their own all the time.

• Challenges now will reward Sims with 1-5 points depending on the challenge.
• Sims may also receive a prize along with the points...prizes may include a variety of things such as 1 day of fulfilling their wants, spending their lifetime points, 1 on 1 time with the Bachelor, automatic entry into the hot tub, etc...
• If a contestant is due to move and they have 5 points or more, 5 points are deducted and they become immune for that move-out. However, the points are forever lost.
• Eliminations are determined by lowest combined (daily & lifetime) relationship score. Ties are broken by the points they have accumulated.
