(about Bob’s turkey selection process, creepy in the market)

Louise: That’s what happens on the real “Bachelor” too. They just don’t show it on camera.

quote from A23 [2.5]:
Chloe: You are shoveling food into your face constantly. I leave at night, you’re eating. I come home in the morning, you’re eating. Sometimes I see you leave the house in the middle of the day with a bag of food.
June: That’s called breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Chloe: I don’t care what the street names are. The intersection is death.
I’ve never been this confused; how do you play?
@Melissa: Oh, sorry, we haven’t explained the rules in quite a while:
Each show from each broadcast network is listed, given 25 points to start with, and we vote in +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3 for our favorites and unfavorites. After voting, wait at least 24 hours before voting again. When a show hits zero points it’s eliminated; when it hits 100 points it’s “locked” in the Victor’s Village, where it will be set aside until all but one show is eliminated or made a victor, at which point the Winners’ Circle begins to decide the ultimate winner.
There are also “All-Stars” games of 60 veteran shows by decade, from the 80s to the 10s (all cancelled shows.) There are fifteen shows from each decade, all decided in advance by popular vote. The rules are pretty much the same, except this one starts at 10 points instead of 25.

Oops. Ignore the +3 on castle. Its score is correct though, I just missed to remove the +3 while copy-pasting.
