Anyway, do you think Ram is looking at me? I feel like his demon side wants me, hehehee~" Marika didn't explain them (because she wanted to cheat), but here are the rules: The Algorithm: Everyone fills out a “Compatibility Quiz” (whether they want to or not). The machine decides your match. The Date: You must go on a “Date” with your match. Budget: 1 Credit (approx. $1). Condition: It must be livestreamed to the galaxy. The Swap: You can request a reassignment, but only after surviving the first date. * The Rotation: If you survive to a second date, an appointed “Date Master” (likely a jealous Marika) chooses your next partner. (No hoarding the same bachelor for 3 dates in a row!).
