In May 2012, I played The Bachelorette challenge (
guidelines here) created by PA Vicky. I liked this challenge because it was short and didn't require much preparation. It was also the perfect vehicle for showcasing my favourite Romance Sim, Melissa Fancey.
Below, please find a table of contents to help you navigate the series. The titles are followed by their original posting dates at Neighborhood 99.
The Bachelorette: Melissa Fancey
Bachelorette 01 Love with the perfect stranger (06 July 2012)
We meet the Bachelorette, Melissa Fancey, and her seven hopeful suitors. Dilip secures an early lead by winning Melissa's friendship, but Daisuke is also showing his potential - which earns him a censorship blur.
Bachelorette 02 Tainted love (07 July 2012)
Everyone ignores Melissa in order to stomp on bugs, check in with their shrinks, and come down with the flu.
Bachelorette 03: She got big fat love (08 July 2012)
We see the last of one contestant, but we continue to see lots of Daisuke. He wants to become a sumo wrestler, so we can look forward to seeing even more of him, in the future.

Today's episode brings the drama in the form of a jealous outburst! The offending contestant is escorted off the set, but security has a hard time keeping him away from the lot.
Bachelorette 05: Love don't come easy (14 August 2012)
The contestants' free-loading ride comes to an abrupt end! I get tired of seeing Melissa alone, all the time, so I depart from the rules and start controlling the guys. We're all benefiting from a little more direction, in the household.
Bachelorette 06: Love and marriage (16 August 2012)
After a week of close proximity, the household can't bear the thought of breaking up. Commitment-minded Sims are contemplating a more permanent arrangement!

The week has flown by and now only two contestants remain. One fellow is looking for a passionate fling, whereas the other wants to get married and start a family. Which one will Melissa choose?
Bachelorette Epilogue: What's love got to do with it? (03 November 2012)
Just like in real life, the funniest things happen after the cameras stop rolling. If you'd like to see a bit more of my Bachelorette challenge, then stick around while the crew packs up.
