We can do Rose to Rose, where you pick who you think will go through each week, or Advanced where you choose contestants each week and win or lose points based on custom rules.
Thoughts?
I don't personally love the first impression one where you pick once and then your picks remain the rest of the season.

These are the advanced rules:
If the contestant receives a rose, they get a point. Other point bonuses are as follows:
One Time Bonuses These can only be received by one contestant, one time during the season. Once a bonus has been awarded, it will be crossed out & is no longer available for the rest of the season.
One Time Penalties These can only be received by one contestant, one time during the season. Once a penalty has been awarded, it will be crossed out & is no longer available for the season.
Positive Points These can be received as many times as applicable. Multiple contestants can receive the same bonus, the same contestant can receive a bonus multiple times in any episode.
Negative Points: These can be deducted as many times as applicable. Multiple contestants can receive the same deduction, the same contestant can receive a deduction multiple times in any episode.
The website calculates all the points, we would still just be making picks I believe.
here are the point breakdowns: Description Point Value Rides in a race car with Arie 2 First date involving heights 2 First boat ride 2 First kiss of season after limo intros end 2 Contestant says “I’m not here to make friends” 2 Contestant receives first impression rose (awarded on top of regular rose bonus) 2 First person to meet a member of Arie's family 2 First person to say they love Arie 2 First hometown date 2 First Fantasy Suite date to air 2 First person to mention their child 2 Solo date out of country 2 First plane ride 2 First hot tub date with Arie 1 Has 1 on 1 conversation with Chris Harrison 1 Someone comments on Arie's kissing talent 1 Contestant tries exotic food 1 Naked in front of The Bachelor (Fantasy Suite = Naked unless they explicitly say it doesn't) 1 Jumping into water holding hands 1 Contestant kisses Arie on lips at limo intro 1 Contestant brings a prop to their limo intro 1 Contestant says “This is a beautiful place to fall in love” 1 Contestant says someone is “Not here for the right reasons” 1 Contestant receives rose during a date (on top of regular rose bonus) 1 First live musician date with Arie 1 First contestant to steal Arie away from another contestant 1 First solo time with Arie 1 First person to say Arie is “family oriented” 1 Contestant receives second overall rose (awarded on top of regular rose bonus 1 Advances 1 Contestant is described as “exotic” by Arie 1 Contestant wins a group competition (can be individually or as part of group) 1 Contestant gets physical (push, punch) with another contestant -1 First discussion of a family death -1 Requires an ambulance to be called -1 Runs away from a rose ceremony -1 Selected for a 2 on 1 date -1 Contestant cries (happy or sad) -1 Contestant vomits -1 Says something about Arie liking younger women -2 Someone mentions Dean -2 Mentions Emily Maynard -2 Dumped/leaves outside of a rose ceremony -2 Someone mentions Peter -2 First person to get visibly drunk -2

I'll do it. I always watch the first few episodes then quit before the finale. Maybe I'll make it through this time.

Do I have to pick for every ceremony right now or can I do it weekly?

I liked the nanny, Becca, at first, but she is clearly going to be the shit-stirrer of the season. Then everyone was freaking out about her age(or will be according to the season preview).

I had to Google after that and she's 22. Young yes, but The Bachelor is notorious for that. I don't know that she's going to stir shit as much as be super naive

I don't like Becca either. I can't even pretend to buy that a 22 year old manic pixie dream girl is there to marry a 36 year old man.

Chelsea's mysterious thing had me rolling my eyes so hard. But every time. They fall for that psycho shit every. single. time.
I feel like she's on board to be the next Olivia.

I’m just catching up tonight! Arie seems really nice. I am too. I am annoyed every year by how the woman seemed shocked at how many woman are there. Duh, it's the bachelor.

I think Arie is too nice. Idk, it's weird. And that fitness chick; he said her voice was very soothing...
It's like nails on a chalkboard to me

I feel horrible when I watch this show because I just can't stop judging, but for real, that fitness chick looks way older than 29 and something is off with her.

Anytime I see anything related to tv or entertainment as their job I immediately judge them as "not being there for the right reasons". Fitness chick is just trying to boost her vlog views.

I still watch this every year, really to just compare the spoilers with the episodes, but also because I am a glutton for punishment. Woof, that fitness girl's voice is...somthin. Honestly, she sounds cheesy and weird at all times, but when she starts talking to Arie, it's like all of a sudden she's a phone sex operator. Check it out next time. Also, Chelsea doesn't so much remind me of Olivia as much as she does Courtney Robertson (whom he actually dated for a bit).
