I’ve done the Bachelorette version and seen a few of these games around Nameberry and I’ve made my own because I’m a bit of a reality show sucker lately. I know the show has different versions in different countries so the country your game will take place in is your choice. Contestants have to be of legal drinking age wherever they’re from because the show does tend to have alcohol (I won’t embellish that very much here don’t worry.) This bachelor will have 20 women, there will be dates and eliminations, and he will end up with one woman at the end. Ages and hometowns are mostly your choice. Make sure to give everyone last names too.
Bachelor: Full name, age, hometown, and occupation are entirely your choice!
-
Woman 1: She is of multicultural descent. Her first name and middle name are of different origins, but the same continent. Occupation is your choice.
-
Woman 2: Her name is an “old lady” name and her career is an older career.
-
Woman 3: Her name and occupation are very girly.
-
Woman 4: Her name is pretty standard but her occupation is outlandish.
-
Woman 5: Her occupation is pretty standard but her name is outlandish.
-
Woman 6: Her name and occupation are tomboyish.
-
Woman 7: She is of multicultural descent. Her first name and middle name are of different origins, but from different continents. Occupation is your choice.

-
Woman 9: Her name is trending on Nameberry. Her job is artsy.

Woman 20: Entirely your choice!
Week 1: Give the First Impression Rose to the person whose first name is last in alphabetical order. That person is automatically safe from the Rose Ceremony. Roll a 1-12 dice four times for other Week 1 events.

ROSE CEREMONY: Roll a 1-20 dice 5 times to eliminate 5 women. If you roll on the number of the First Impression Rose winner, ignore it and don’t eliminate her. If you roll on the number of a disqualified contestant, leave it as is and don’t reroll. There will be 5 women leaving unless you had disqualified contestants in the game whose numbers you did NOT roll. List the eliminated women.
Week 2: Give a one-on-one date to the contestant with the middle name alphabetically first. Roll a dice; if you get even, she gets a rose and is safe from the Rose Ceremony. If you get odd, she gets no rose and is eliminated from the game. Roll the 1-20 dice 6 times (if you roll a number of an eliminated contestant, skip and reroll) for a group date. The contestant on the group date with the name you’d most likely give a child gets the group date rose and is safe from the Rose Ceremony.
HOUSE: Some events happen in the house during this week before the Rose Ceremony. Roll a 1-12 dice 3 times for House Events.
House Events

Week 3: Before the dates begin, an eliminated woman of your choice comes back to ask for a second chance. Roll a dice; if it’s even, the bachelor turns her down and she goes back home. If it’s odd, he gives her another chance to stay and she is brought back to the game. Give a one-on-one date to the original winner of the First Impression Rose. If she’s already eliminated, give it to either contestant still in the game closest to her in the original list. Roll a dice; if you get even, she gets a rose and is safe from the Rose Ceremony. If you get odd, she gets no rose and is eliminated from the game. Give a one-on-one date to any contestant you haven’t brought up much in this game.

ROSE CEREMONY: Roll a 1-20 dice and eliminate two women. Anyone with roses is safe and exempt from being eliminated so skip if you land on their number. List the eliminated contestant(s).
Week 4: Give a one-on-one date to the remaining contestant whose first name is alphabetically last. Give a group date to 4 women of your choice. Give another one-on-one date to any remaining woman who has gotten a previous rose on either a group or one-on-one date. Before you settle the roses for this date, roll a 1-12 dice 3 times, one time for each date. All of the events will be affecting the contestant on a one-on-one date except for whichever event happens in the group date, in which you may choose any of the contestants in that date. Then do the same procedure for the one-on-one dates (unless the contestant was eliminated during an event) while giving the group date rose to the woman you feel the bachelor bonds with best.

ROSE CEREMONY: Use the 1-20 dice on any women remaining who aren’t saved by roses. Eliminate women until 4 remain in the game.
