Season 1 ~ Episode 2
Welcome to the Mansion: Tour Part 2


Today we are continuing the tour of the Bachelor mansion. You may have noticed in the last episode a couple sets of doors off the long hallway that separates the two casual living rooms on the first floor. Those doors lead to the other rooms on the main level. Let's continue our tour there!





On the left side, just past the lounge/bar area is a gym and computer area combined into one. The back wall of the gym has a door into the downstairs bathroom as well.





The next set of doors down the hallway leads into the first floor kitchen.



You can pass directly from the kitchen, by the stairs that lead up to the next level, and into the formal dining room.






This dining area is quite large and can seat many guests.





Now let's head up the stairs onto the 2nd level. Upon entering the 2nd floor, you pass a small computer desk nook, the stairs to the 3rd level and walk into the 2nd floor living room.





This living area is quite warm and inviting and directly off of it is a set of doubles doors that leads into our Bachelor's suite. We won't be revealing that just yet.



Just behind the stairs that lead to the 3rd floor and past Lance's room, is another small computer nook.


The rest of the 2nd floor is comprised of bedrooms and another bathroom where the girls will be staying. Those will be revealed as the girls move in. Climbing the final flight of stairs to the 3rd floor, we enter the upstairs kitchen. It is smaller and more cozy.





The 3rd floor kitchen also includes a casual dining area, and the hallway behind leads to more bedrooms and a final bathroom.


We'll see you next episode!!

Season 1 ~ Episode 3
The Search for Love Begins


Our Bachelor, Lance Curtis, was enjoying getting to know the mansion in the couple of days he had to himself before the women would arrive.



Mostly, Lance would spend his time playing the guitar, and learning love songs. He also enjoyed mixing drinks, and especially cooking dishes. In fact, his plan was to cook every meal during his time here.



Soon, it was time for the women to begin arriving! Lance was quite nervous, and tried to calm his nerves by strumming more on the guitar.



Heather Howell was the first girl to arrive at the mansion. ( @Heckstress17 )



Lance went to the front gate to greet her. He was there before she arrived. When they first laid eyes on one another, their expressions were ones of nervous excitement.



However, after the immediate pleasantries, they gave each other a big hug (autonomously) and it broke the ice right away.



For the next several minutes they chatted non stop about many different things. Heather told Lance that she enjoyed running and being active in general, but had a tendency to fall on her face on occasion. Lance laughed at all her jokes and she listened avidly as he talked about his love of music and food.



Heather explained that she was looking for her soul mate and hoped that maybe this time together would show if they would be a match. They both felt an immediate connection and were excited to see if it was more than just first meeting jitters.




Heather started into the mansion to wait until Lance was finished meeting the other girls, but he chased her down and chatted a little while longer, not quite ready to let her go.



After he finally let her go, Lance had a HUGE cheesy grin on his face! He knew he wanted to get to know her more.



The next girl to arrive at the mansion was Maya Greene ( @LunarMoon88 )



When she entered the gate, they smiled shyly at one another and introduced themselves.



Their introduction was full of awkward silence, and small giggles.



Finally, Lance broke the silence with some jokes and she politely laughed.



That broke the ice and Maya began telling Lance all about her love of gardening. They connected over their mutual love of food!.




When Maya finally went into the mansion, they both had a pleasant smile on their faces.



The 3rd model to arrive, was Katherine Akins. ( @BobSkellington )



Their mutual attraction to one another was immediately apparent.




Katherine was quite the talker, so Lance listened avidly while she talked about her love of music and food. Lance smiled quite widely, thinking they had a lot in common!




As Katherine headed into the mansion, she smiled back at Lance over her shoulder. His look of pure happiness made her smile even wider.


Thank you for joining us for this episode! Be sure to come back for the next one, as Lance and the girls begin to get to know each other, and two more girls move into the mansion soon after. See you soon!

Season 1 ~ Episode 4
Settling In

(Member's entries included in this episode: @Heckstress17 @LunarMoon88 @BobSkellington )


The evening of the first day that the girls began to arrive, they all started settling into the mansion.


Heather & Maya both changed into the workout clothes and spent the evening in the gym. They both seem to be very active women.



Lance made dinner for everyone and invited them to share it together in the downstairs kitchen.



Heather & Katherine hit it off immediately and chatted back and forth between themselves all dinner long.




Lance & Maya kept staring shyly at each other all through dinner. The occasional giggle would escape Maya.



Lance & Heather kept grinning at each other across Katherine throughout the meal as well.




As Lance chatted with Katherine, Maya finally worked up the nerve to join in on the conversation.



And when dinner was complete, Maya even offered to clean up! (autonomously)



Later that night, before bedtime, Lance enjoyed a relaxing soak in the bath, with a smile on his face.


As the girls began to choose and move into their individual bedrooms, we will take a look at their living quarters:



This is the second floor bathroom, which is just down the hall from the living room.


Katherine was the first to choose her bedroom.





She went with the Green Room. It was filled with calming green & natural tones, with an touch of being outside.


Next Heather chose her room, around the corner from the bathroom and Katherine's room.





Heather chose the Purple Vintage Room. It was bathed in beautiful shades of purple and had a slight vintage feel to it.


Finally, Maya choose her room.




Maya went with the last room on the 2nd floor, the Graffiti Room! It was one of the more fun rooms, decorated like city streets!


NOTE: Please note that all women chose their own rooms (autonomously). They were not forced to go with any certain room. Thank you


Thank you for joining us for this episode! Be sure to come back for the next one, as two more girls move into the mansion. See you soon!

Season 1 ~ Episode 5
And 2 More Makes 5

(Member's entries included in this episode: @Heckstress17 @LunarMoon88 @BobSkellington @jazen)


After a good night's rest, Lance was up early the next morning after the first 3 women arrived, to fix everyone breakfast.


He really was wanting to get to know Katherine better, so the two of them chatted and laughed while he made the meal. She wasn't the least bit shy standing their in her underwear. He tried not to be distracted as he made everyone a delicious meal to start the day.



Turns out she wasn't the only one that enjoyed running around in the nearly-buff. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast, and chatted about what they would do that day. The girls would be on their own for a while, as Lance would be welcoming two more women into the mansion. The producers had informed Lance that there would be 5 women at a time living with him in the mansion. But they hadn't said when the next ones would arrive, or how they would make room for them just yet. He was quite curious about how it would all play out.



While they finished up breakfast, Maya informed them she has been so excited, she hadn't slept all night! She was on her 5th cup of coffee.



As they finished their meal, the maid showed up to clean the house. She seemed to be a quite cheerful young lady.



Maya continued to drink coffee all morning.



Soon it was time for the next lady to arrive at the mansion. Dolan was the first to arrive that day. ( @jazen )



They greeted each other amicably on the veranda.



Lance and Dolan were able to chat quite easily. They talked for a bit about their interests and what had lead each of them to do this challenge.



Dolan was very intelligent and Lance was quite impressed by the amount of knowledge she had! It was slightly intimidating!



After she went inside, Lance had a lot to think about.



The final girl for the first bit to arrive was Autumn.



The poor girl had a full bladder when she arrived and apologized quickly to Lance as she hobbled past him to the bathroom.



After she was all presentable and all problems taken care of, she and Lance had a good laugh as they greeted each other formally in the front gardens.



They chatted for a while, the conversation was light and humorous.



And then suddenly without warning she ran off into the mansion while Lance was in the middle of laughing at one of her jokes.



Inside, Heather was doing her workouts again for the day.



Lance pulled her aside and said he would like to spend the remainder of the day getting to know her better. They sat on the couch in the lounge/bar area and talked for a couple of hours.



Their attraction to one another was quite evident and they talked non-stop!



That evening, Lance invited her to go outside and do some star gazing. The whole romance of the setting was making him feel a bit flirty!



But he didn't want to rush things and take the next step just yet, so he just told Heather how much he really was enjoying her company and hoped they could continue to spend more time together.



That evening after their time outside, they ate a light snack before bedtime. They were a bit quieter than usual and the energy between them had changed. Both knew they were beginning to fall for the other.
