Chapter 4: How does Rashie Ashley's dating experience compare?
I don't know if it's true or not. Is that true? Cheryl, are you there? Oh, I'm here, and I am indeed a germaphobe. It took her a second because the plastic bag around her hand was hard. That's right.
I had to get my hand dried from the sanitizer.
You do what you got to do. And in the other corner, her ideal first date is sharing a bowl of toxic berries, followed by a long romantic stroll through a patch of poison oak. That's why they call her Rashie Ashley. Oh, my gosh. Hi. She could just have allergies, Jeff. She likes it that way. I like hiking. What can I say? Here's how the game works.
One contestant will start by telling one of their worst date stories. The other will try and counter with a nightmare story of their own. We're going back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner, starting it off with Sterile Cheryl.
Chapter 5: What are the funniest moments from the contestants' dates?
Go for it. So we bonded online over the fact that we're both writers. on our date for fun. Man, that feels probably pretty vulnerable. It was vulnerable, but, like, that's what brings you close, you know? So, like, I brought a little story poem I wrote, and he brought screenshots of mean comments that he left on celebrities' Instas. Oh, no. No, that was his writing?
Yeah, he told me he's a semi-pro Internet troll.
Hey!
He's probably left some good stuff on our Facebook page, so you've got to go read some of that. Semi-pro, wow. Yeah, one day I'll get to the pros. Rashi Ashley, can you count her? Okay, we went to a coffee shop, and he said he would pay. And then he pulls out... This huge bag of change, like the ting change. Hey, Alexis, don't ew change. It's still money.

Yeah. And he was like, oh, I brought the wrong bag. But yeah, he's Chuck E. Cheese rich, so that's kind of nice. He saved up for one of the big prizes at the prize counter.
That's right.
Big spender. We're on to round two. So Cheryl, we're back to you. So we did a candle making class together. And when it was time to choose our scent, he pulled out a piece of hair.
