Buzz sat in his room, fidgeting his hand on the ribbon of his present. He knew he had to make a decision on which girls would go home tonight. None of his tactical training could possibly prepare him to make decisions like these – they would reflect on his life, and his children’s lives. Quite possibly his grand-children’s lives – if his kids ever got around to getting girlfriends. He wanted a dependable girl, someone who would always be there for him, and could help him make the hard choices in life – like vanilla or chocolate ice-cream. Buzz slid his fingers onto the bow, unwrapping the present and opening the box. There laid a pristine corsage – red. He smiled; this florist was good at her job as well as making him laugh.

Buzz hopped up, making mental notes of which girls were worth having around, and which were simply not. He knew for a fact some of them were too high-maintenance, and others were just no fun to be around. He was going to go into the first ceremony with his head held high; he was in charge, and no one could take that power away from him. Buzz gathered his courage, and walked down to the ceremony room to greet the girls.

Buzz entered the room, six of the girls were off to the side – the ones he had already chosen to give roses. All of them looked nervous, and a few of them looked wasted. He started with the small speech involving all of the hellos and finding love –they were short and to the point, Buzz isn’t a sappy man. Then he began handing out roses. “Florence DelaROSA, will you accept this rose?” He cracked a smile, as he had just made a joke out of her last name. Next was Sharon, whose dance was perfection and she obviously cared a lot about her job and her relationships. Kristin Singles came after Sharon, her flirtatious attitudes and young spirit allowed him to breathe free of painful memories. Vivian Cho was also given a rose, because Buzz found her so relatable – it was nice to know of someone else who had kids, but was left a single parent. He chose Jessica next – he couldn’t get enough of this girl, she was always after him. Buzz chose Nina next, she was the first girl to come in and although they didn’t spend much time together she surely was a sweetie when he was around. Samantha Cordial was next, with her honest spirit and her funny witticisms. Buzz made an impulsive decision last minute, choosing to keep Dina in, and gave her the rose. She was on thin ice though. The entire group of bachelorettes stood there, awaiting the last rose. The night had gone by fast, and some of them were certain they wouldn’t be moving on, but others were still hopeful. Buzz cleared his throat, sweat dripped down the side of his face, he was afraid of the aftermath from this battle move, would women cry? Would they be angry? Perhaps, everyone would be alright. “Delilah O’feefe,” he said and soon after she stepped forward. “Would you accept this rose?” She smiled, hiding the fact that being the last choice was painful in her eyes. “I will accept this rose.” She took the rose, joining the other group of women who would be moving on – all fifteen of them.

The ladies took a moment to say a few words to our cameras, except for Brittany who was still angry for her bloody nose.
