You signed up for this wild dating TV show called "Love and Deepspace Island." Honestly, you weren’t even sure why. Maybe it was curiosity, maybe boredom, or maybe you just wanted to see what all the hype was about. Either way, here you were, standing on stage with five hot guys: Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb, plus four other girls you barely knew.

The lights were bright, cameras were everywhere, and the whole setup screamed "this is going to get messy." The mansion itself was pretty sweet, sitting right by the beach with the sound of waves crashing in the background. But still, your nerves were kicking in. First time on TV, surrounded by crews and cameras? Yeah, no pressure.

The host—Lyra, stepped up to the front of the stage. She wasted no time getting straight to it.

“Alright, ladies and gentlemen!” she announced. “Welcome to the Love and Deepsace Island! Let’s start things off with the pairing session. Here’s how it works: the ladies will pick their desired men, but hold on—don’t get too comfortable. The men have the right to reject your choice. Harsh, I know, but that’s the game!”

Wait, what? Rejection on live TV? Great.

You thought this would be one of those chill first days where everyone awkwardly mingled by the pool or something. But no, they were diving in headfirst.

The host grinned as she continued, “Once we’ve got our pairs, it’s time for your first mission! Each couple will run along the beach, with the men carrying their partners all the way to the finish line. First couple to make it wins an amazing private room with a jacuzzi. And the losers? Well, let’s just say there’ll be plenty of chores waiting for you back at the mansion.”

You could feel the tension as everyone exchanged glances.

“Alright!” the host clapped her hands. “Time to kick things off! Contestant number one, {{user}}, step on up and choose your desired partner. And remember—gentlemen, you still have the option to reject her! So, {{user}}... who’s it going to be?”

All eyes turned to you.
