The Origin of The End.
Welcome to ARE YOU THE ONE!!!
Hawaii
As the 20 participants in the AYTO Final Selections have all been checked in and accommodated, they are taken via taxi or uber straight to a beautiful beach off the outskirts of Maui. They're bags, belongings, and items will surely be escorted to the House of Hearts, but for now....it was time for them to meet each other. The selection process was long, and rigorous, yet the tides of fate much like the waves that stretched before the beach had rippled these few people together on a new conquest of love. Destiny awaits the 20 who would soon to step on the serene aura and soft sands of the beach, but how would they forge their own way? Will they dedicate their feeble hearts to the game of love? All for the sake of finding their Perfect Match, and also an extra bonus of ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS!? The ides of romance compel them to walk away with love and money, but the heart is a tricky and fickle thing. Will they disrupt the flow of intimacy from the already formed and attached bonds they will make? Or will they throw it all on the line. The time was now to find out. The Host stood on the beach, in a very dapper suit tailor made to fit. It was an onyx black with some silver pearlescence to give it a quality sparkle. A black tie complimented his swagger. He smiles as he watched the Laddies enter the beach first. He gives them a smile and a nod. This was it, it was officially go time.
"Welcome Laddies, or should I say gentlemen, to Are You The One. I hope and trust your flights were rather comfortable. My name is Redd Hart, I'll be your host for this session, helping, rooting, and guiding you through these 10 weeks so that you guys can find your Perfect Matches. Look, if I gotta be honest...these ladies are probably the most attractive group I've ever seen together. You guys are gonna gave your hands full and I would NOT want to be standing where you guys are right now. I mean that in a good way! Okay guys, ready to meet the Lassies!?"
He awaits their enthusiasm, clapping his hands together before stretching them towards a small trail paved with tiki torches.
"Welcome your Lassies!!!"
The ladies then walk out from the tropical green surrounding the beach, Redd looks at their faces and smiles with another respectful nod. He then turned to see the reactions of the men at the stunning ladies, and then turns to gauge the females' reaction of said men. He groups them across from one another for a specific reason. Now the 10 weeks officially starts now.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. Are You The One starts now! Now, I have to drop the charisma for just a second and get a little real here... a lot of you were saying that you only got on because your sister or friends or family member signed you up. The reality is we've tested and researched your personalities and resume extensively. At the end of the day you guys signed the contract to come on the show, so the liability now rests with no one but you. And let's face it. You guys are here for one reason and one reason only... you guys suck at relationships. For whatever reason despite your amazing looks, you cannot or have not sustained a hearty relationship, which goes to show you, looks aren't everything. If your Perfect Match was standing right in front of you, would you even know it? Don't answer that, I know it's a no haha."
A few humorous chuckles sound through the men and women, as Redd bubbles up once again with glee.
"Alright guys! Here we go. This competition is NOT about hooking up with who you think is the hottest. This is a quest for true love, and a Perfect Match. The rules are simple. 20 people. 10 weeks to find all matches. I would HOPE you read the rules on the contract, but seeing as how I'm The Host, I'd be a bad one if I didn't go over them again:

"Alright guys! Here we go. This competition is NOT about hooking up with who you think is the hottest. This is a quest for true love, and a Perfect Match. The rules are simple. 20 people. 10 weeks to find all matches. I would HOPE you read the rules on the contract, but seeing as how I'm The Host, I'd be a bad one if I didn't go over them again:
- The ONLY way to confirm if you and your partner is a Perfect Match is the Truth Booth: A place where the voted couple enters to sync up to confirm or deny their match status. House members consider with thought about who you send into the Truth Booth, as you only get once per week. Time is of the essence.
- Challenges and Competitions will be administered for the housemates through the weeks for a chance for a Getaway Date: a special vacation fully paid for for you and your matched partner in order to spend time privately and bond with one another. Anywhere from 1-3 couples can win a Getaway per week. ONLY WINNERS OF GETAWAYS ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE VOTED INTO THE TRUTH BOOTH THAT WEEK. So play with your heart!
- If a couple gets confirmed as a Perfect Match, they will be taken to a separate resort called the Honeymoon Suite for the duration of the 10 weeks. They will not be partaking in further challenges, but may do as they wish for the duration of the 10 weeks. BUT they are free to mingle and interact and still help others figure out the other matches. If a couple does NOT get confirmed, it's back to the drawing board to determine who among them could be their Perfect Match.
- At the end of the week, I will visit the house to see who's being voted into the Truth Booth, and after the voting regardless of the results, the house will all meet in front of The Beams to choose their preferred partner for the next week to come. Guys and Girls' choice will change every week to maintain balance. The Beams are spotlights that represent the number of Perfect Matches that are currently paired together, you just won't know which people they are, which is why the Truth Booth is so important. If you get all 10 at any time in one sitting, you win the million AND you get to walk away with a shot at true love, however, should you not get all 10 Perfect Matches in 10 weeks. You get NO money, and could lose your shot at finding the one true match for you. "
Redd's face then goes a bit damper, as if there was more not so thrilling information to provide.
"Also... for this competition, we've added a twist. As you can see, there are 20 people, BUT... notice the ratio. There are 11 girls, and only 9 guys. That means... two girls in this house may very well leave with no matches for this game. We've restricted listing who they are, which makes it even harder to find all 9 Perfect Match couples. If all nine couples get matched, then all 20 of you still win the money, but fail....and you all walk away with nothing. So Lassies, I wish you the best in your journey to finding your match. And to the two mystery matches, fight hard, this is a team effort. You all need to work together to win love and money. It's not about who you want, no, a Perfect Match is who you need. So with that being said, let's BEGIN!!"
Redd then reveals 11 unlit Tiki Torches, all with pictures of a particular animal on them. He looks to the men.
"Here, we have 11 tiki torches with spirit animals on them. Guys, it's your choice to choose which spirit animal you would be most drawn for. Choose wisely, because whichever animal you choose, you are also choosing your female partner to connect with for the week. Now, for the two female who don't get a torch picked, they will have their choice to choose ANY guy they want to also connect with for the week. That means two lucky guys will have two girls to entertain, or perhaps one guy will have three girls if they choose the same guy. Sounds envious right? WRONG. Because remember this is a competition of odds, the more partners into the equation, the least probable it is to get all 9 beams. So fellas, good luck. Here are the spirit animals to choose from: "

Swan (Tranquility, Responsibility, Intuition)Puma (Power, Confidence, Self)Horse (Nobility, Independence, Service)Fox (Cunning, Awareness, Resourcefulness)Otter (Innocence, Curiosity, Adventure)- Owl (Wisdom, Enlightenment, Presence)
"Alright! The guys the Tiki Torches with the Spirit Animals on them are first come first serve, so by all means, have at it!!"
(After male characters post with their choice of spirit animal, I will strikethrough the animal list to make the remaining choices easier to see)
Redd watches as the men start to choose, the females talking amongst themselves. The game was on. Love was no game, but would they play from the heart? Or crap out on a chance at true love? The time to find out was now.
