[So fake.]
[That was painfully forced.]
[They’re acting again, aren’t they? Classic.]
[That excuse is laughably lazy.]
[Are we supposed to buy this?]
[They must be going for scandal–driven popularity.]
[Probably. But does anyone know how they even met?]
:
[Yeah, where are their fans now? No one’s going to clear that up?]
[There’s no way anyone’s still shipping them after this.]
[This whole thing feels staged.]
[Still no one’s dug up their backstory? Fine, I’ll do it myself.]
[Count me in.]
[Let’s dig together. I need to know what’s really going on.]

True to their word, many viewers exited the stream and began investigating Vanessa and Spencer’s backgrounds across every major platform.
Their respective agents, seeing the mounting buzz, scrambled to contact fan community leaders to guide the narrative. They had aimed for edgy publicity, not total public backlash.
For now, the online frenzy had yet to affect the cast on set.
After offering their brief explanation and exchanging greetings with Raymond, Vanessa and Spencer left the
scene.
And the cast enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Upon returning to the hotel, they were informed by Raymond that a new activity awaited.
No one objected. It was, after all, a variety show, not a vacation.
Gathered in the hotel lobby, the group soon saw Peyton enter, dressed elegantly and holding a mission card.
“Hi, everyone. From this moment on, I’ll be the team leader for our travel group,” she announced cheerfully, offering a quick smile and a brief introduction before turning to the day’s assignment.

Having a guest serve as leader was standard fare for this kind of show, and the cast showed no resistance. But once Peyton began explaining the activity in detail, a few faces grew visibly uneasy.
“Today’s challenge is called ‘If You Could Go Back Ten Years, Would You Still Choose Me?‘ To prepare for this, the production team has brought in ten attractive guests based on your stated ideal types.
“Each of you will choose one person to join for dinner and have a conversation lasting at least ten minutes. Afterward, you’ll decide whether to return to your current partner or not.”
As she finished, the livestream chat exploded.
[Now that’s a twist.]
[Bold move by the producers.]
[Stirring the pot in broad daylight.]
[Look at Brian’s face. He’s not happy.]
[Connor and Chase don’t look thrilled either.]
[This is going to be messy.]
[Wait, those new faces look familiar…]
[Aren’t they rookies from one of the sponsor companies? A couple are from another sponsor, right?]
[So much for “real people“. Just more PR plants. Probably scripted too.]
[Still… a few of those newcomers look oddly similar to Brian.]
[Oh wow. Are they targeting Brian and Jessica specifically? Raymond’s playing a dangerous game.]
[Jessica won’t leave Brian. I’m sure of it.]
[Whatever happens, I can feel the drama coming.]
[No way I’m logging off now.]
[Same here. I want to see just how far the producers will take this.]

Raymond, watching the viewer count soar, was grinning from ear to ear.
In the main hall, Peyton gave a brief introduction of the ten newcomers on stage before stepping aside and announcing the start of the selection.
“You may now choose your ideal partner,” she said, gesturing for them to begin.
Jessica glanced at the attractive group before her, then turned to Brian. She hesitated, making no move.

Brian, having regained his composure, couldn’t help but reach for her hand.
‘Please don’t choose anyone… he thought, though the words never left his mouth.

Sabrina, noticing everyone else standing still, took the initiative. As the oldest in the group and never one to fuss over appearances, she stepped forward, casually pointed to a handsome young man, and said, “I’ll go with him.”
Connor looked at her, eyes filled with reluctant dismay. “Sabrina…”
She patted his shoulder lightly. “It’s just part of the activity. Don’t overthink it. Go on. Pick someone.”
Her breezy tone helped ease Connor’s nerves. He nodded without protest, barely glancing at the remaining women before selecting one at random.
With Sabrina breaking the silence, the others followed suit. Just as she said, it was only a game. No need to overanalyze. The sooner they finished, the better.
Lillian and Vanessa quickly made their selections. Soon, only Jessica and Brian remained.
All eyes turned to them.
