Introduction
“Hello, I’m Johnny Doe and welcome to The Bachelor…” The man known as Johnny Doe paused, stood directly in front of the camera. “…Ette!” Johnny was short, only four foot, six inches, not that the viewer could tell this from the mid-close up camera shot of his head to his chest. His navy, made to measure, Louis Vuitton suit wrapped nicely around his well-built bronze frame. Complimenting with his bottle blonde hair that was spiked with way too much gel.
After a long pause, his angular face gave the camera a winning smile before continuing. “Like the endless other matchmaking shows, this will be no different. Except, we’ll have both genders. Not just as contestants, but also as a Bachelor and Bachelorette. That’s right, the twenty-two hopefuls will have two chances to find love. They just don’t know it yet. Nor do they know about the other surprise we have in-store for them. Alright, let’s introduce you to our Bachelor and Bachelorette.”
The camera pulled outwards, widing the shot to show the Bachelor and Bachelorette walking to Johnny from each side of the frame. “Good evening, you two, I bet you’re excited. Why don’t you introduce yourselves to the folks at home?”
Dean, the bachelor, who walked in from the left side of the frame but technically stood on Johnny’s right, gestured for the bachelorette to go first. Jessica didn’t hesitate. As soon as the camera focused on her for her close up, she brushed her reddish-brown hair off her bare shoulder with shining confidence. Her speech that followed wasn’t lacking either, bold and unfaltering. “Jessisa Wong, that’s me. Friendly, Fearless, and Fashionable as-” BLEEP! A momentary look of mild shock was quickly returned to confidence with a hint of smugness. “My bad. I can’t swear, can I? Better watch out for that. Anyway, I’m here for love and fun, so let’s do this.” She smirked at the camera, which was cropped around her head and shoulders just above her bustline, making her look as if she was in the nude.
The next shot cut across to Johnny again, who was chuckling to himself while still maintaining his professionalism. “I feel as if I should tell you all that Jessica is wearing a strapless dress, no need to worry about that. On my other side, however, the bachelor is not.”
Dean wasn’t in a dress, instead, he had worn a tuxedo; a white shirt with black trousers and shoes. The jacket and bowtie were a dark shade of green, made from a very soft velvet. He had a crop of forward swept caramel-blonde hair that draped over his left temple and an undercut on the other side. Dean used his fingers to comb the long part backward, but it only returned to where it had been a second later. He smiled at the camera and his short boxed beard seemed to curve up into a smile too; a smile that was kind and put a twinkle in his eye. When he spoke, his voice was much deeper than one would imagine. “Hi, I’m Dean Lambré and I’m from Alexandria, Louisiana. I’m looking for someone to hold hands and share the moments of life with.”
It cut back to a close-up of Johnny. “And that’s them. But the contestants won’t meet them yet. Sadly, guys, they have to make a decision of their own before you get to meet them. So hurry off now, so that I can meet and get them ready. Good luck.” He was turning his head from left to right and back again, looking out of frame. Then turned back to face the camera. “Time for you to meet their potential partners.”
Alright, here’s a teaser. The Bachelor and Bachelorette’s profiles are up, and the next part will be up in the next day or two. (wink)
