The time has come everyone to begin the very first Blind Date. I am sure you, as the audience, will have a great time. There will be double posting galore from me, but that is because as the audience, I should stress that you DO NOT POST HERE. Instead, post in the equally love game discussion thread for such purposes.
With that out of the way, I can now reveal that the male star of the show today is... well, this guy keeps harking on about his ex, but now he's looking for love!
The man walks out of the shadows..
MERCEN-X
Congratulations! Before the show, me and him engaged in a pre-show interview. Of course, after we did the respective criminal record checks and that. I wouldn't be in the presence of a convicted criminal! *shudders pretentiously*
Formalhaut: Hello there Mercen! Thank you for taking part in this game today. Let's begin with the basics. How old are you Mercen?
Mercen-X: I'm 28.
Formalhaut: That's fascinating Mercen. Still in your prime I see!
*Mercen-X doesn't seem to understand*
Formalhaut: Ehe.. right.. next question! What do you do for a living, besides appearing on conspicuously low-budget game shows?
Mercen-X: I'm currently looking for work at the moment, though I'm also a student at Ashford university in a degree in Psychology.
Formalhaut: That's good. I guess in this economy it is quite tough to find at the moment, especially being a student. Okay great, but let's move on to relationships. What are your experiences with relationships?
Mercen-X: My only serious relationship lasted 2 years. I've been with a total of 3 women.
Formalhaut: So what defines your type then? Who are you looking for in this show?
Mercen-X: Someone active I guess, with a lowbrow sense of humour so programmes like South Park or Family Guy. I'm very into video games, so someone with that same interest is a plus, especially if they live nearby. I'm not against kids, though they should have some experience cooking. I'm also keen on those who are "experimental"
Formalhaut: "Experimental" then? Can you uh, expand on that assertion?
*Mercen-X makes a face*
Formalhaut: I see. Gosh, I'm blushing now. Moving on, what's the most romantic thing someone's ever done for you?
Mercen-X: Eh. Nothing springs to mind.
Formalhaut: Oh Mercen, that's a sad thing to say
*Formalhaut makes a face*
Formalhaut: So, what made you want to sign-up to this show, and do you expect to find over the next few days?
Mercen-X: Well, you never know what can happen through the support of others. Partially, I just figured why not. As for love, who the hell knows? I don't really expect to find love anywhere. I'm not going to go looking for it at least not for a while.
*Formalhaut makes another face*
Formalhaut: Well, thank you for a most revealing interview! May lady luck shine on you always!
Wow, what an interview I had! It's got me pumped to get going! But first, I need to ask our lovely contestants some questions! I'm now going to be handed the golden envelope...wha.. what do you mean it got lost in the post! Idiots!
Sorry folks. Mercen-X is just going to have to write down the questions secretly and pass them on to me. Let's go to a commercial break! Stay tuned!
