With only three contestants left, the love of Portia's life now awaits her father's decision. What will come of it though? Will he choose Aaragon, Morocco, or Bassanio?
Portia: Father, why can't you just let me...pursuade your decision a little? Why do you have to make it for me?
Father: I know what's best for you and you have to understand that Portia. I don't think you realize the importance of marriage. You must have the right man in your life. Now, from the candidates chosen to be brought on this show, only the best for you, I now have to choose one. You had best take your time to get to know everyon so as to not be dissapointed in my choosing.
Portia: Can you not first call a meeting, interact with them? There has to be a way for you to realize which is best for me! Match them up to my personality. Pick out their flaws and imperfections.
Father: A meeting will be called when you are ready, if that is what you wish.

Narissa: Well, what did your father say?
Portia: He is to choose. Why oh why can't I just be with Bassanio, great a man as he. Men like Aaragon and Morocco come by every two seconds. A man like Bassanio you cannot find in a life time. I must do something to pursuade my father into chosing him! But what?
Narissa: I suggest that you spend more time with Bassanio, get to know him better. Maybe then you will be able to figure out your solution

Portia: My dear Bassanio, why do you wish to be with me? I am nothing special. I never excelled in school, I am but a simple house wife. However, I am willing to learn, as I am quick complete all that I see. But truly, why?
Bassanio: The moment that I saw you, the first breath after my heart stopped, I realized something within me. Something powerful and full of passion.
Portia: If not for my father's will I would choose you. But fear not, for I have faith in us. You must always act your best around my father, and fully here in this house. Cameras watch your every move.
Bassanio: All that I ever do is simply all that I would ever do, and nothing different.
Portia: Good, now let me escape to my father. I want him start the meeting of all the suitors.

Father: Well, now, taking the innitiative to get to know me I see? I see high hopes in your future for my daughter, you boys.
Portia: Yeah, what a babe! The first moment I saw here I knew I had to have her for my own. I could use a nice wife like that. Always cleaning and cooking, never having to talk at all!
Narissa: No no no! You have to excuse him your Grace. Portia is not one to cook or clean, as she hardly can make her own bed I'm sure. She is perfect for eyecandy, and simply just that.
Bassanio, listening from the door rampages in
Bassanio: How can you talk about such a woman on a reality show like this? She is not that kind of person. You have to look deep within her heart to realize what kind of a person she truly is! I love her. I love her for her beauty inside and out.
Father: Well, now it looks like I have made my decision of who it is I am going to choose. Bassanio, congratulations, you have won my daughter's hand in marriage. Go, find her and claim her as yours.
Portia and Narissa: Um, ok, then, uh, we'll go now, okay bye!

Portia: I want you to promise me Bassanio, this is the decision that you want to make. I don't want to rush into a relationship and find that you really don't love me as much as you say you do. I want to recieve just as much love as I put out.
Bassanio: I swear to you this is all I could want.
Portia: Then I give to you, on my father's behalf, this wedding ring. By taking it, you now have me, and everything that is of my belonging.
Bassanio: I am honored
Narissa: Bassanio! Someone just called! Your friend Antonio is being hunted by these gangsters because he lent you money to spend while on this dateshow.
Bassanio: That man, to lend such money with such confidence and not be able to pay back. They're going to kill him for that. Portia, I must go.
Portia: How much is this debt of his?
Bassanio: It's $3000
Portia: As rich as my family is, I could easily pay them six times the amount! Here, take this money, go save your friend. But, promise me that you will be okay?
Bassanio: I promise
they hug, while Portia places a monitoring device onto Bassanio to make sure that he will be careful and that he saves Antonio
