“Are you shy? A little held up on words? Never fear! We are here to help. We will be picking one contestant to ask the questions either from our provided list or from your own imagination. Our lists are green meaning soft questions like favorite kind of season or colors that make you happy. The yellow is getting a little more risky but still not pushing it. Red questions are the dirty but flirty and fun.
The three picked contestants can either answer in character or as themselves. If they are uncomfortable they can skip.
After a series of 6 questions have been asked and answered. The contestant asking the questions will pick whomever they vibe with. This is all for fun! But if it leads to more than we are happy to help! “
