Gay Love Island: The First Coupling Ceremony

Welcome, gents and gents! 

Today, eight singles will enter the Villa, but swiftly the eight will form into four pairs - the Couples, for the time being at least. Four of the eight are here with me right now, waiting for perhaps their Prince Charming to come a knocking and sweep them off their feet...or to be left with whoever is last to take their pick. 

The four standing opposite me, down by the pool are: 

(and this has been randomised)

 1. Fredrick Von Belyea

 2. Michael Lee

 3. Ulrich Larsson

4. Mateo Reyes

Now, here comes our first to couple up...who do you think it is? Oh right, how could you possibly know? Silly me. I thought for some reason there were people that would know who was submitted, but that's silly talk, our applications were incredibly secret, the families of these guys probably think they're on some vacation somewhere! But like...they kinda are. Anyway! 

First to make his choice from the above is....

.

.

.

DEREK BENSON! 

Meet Derek. 23 years old, Derek is a singer! Oh I love that for him! We'll learn more about Derek later, but for now, Derek, it's time for you to make your choice and couple up! 

___________________________________________________________

Yannik, as the creator of Derek, you have first pick from the four by the pool! Send me your first and second picks, please, and hope no one steals away the gay you want Derek to be with! Remember, no coupling is final, and if you begin to regret your decision, you will have a chance to jump ship at some point, and at multiple points throughout the season. 

As soon as Yannik has sent me Derek's choices, the next guy will make his way out to the pool, to make his decision!

DEREK HAS MADE HIS CHOICE: 

The current couples are: 

Derek & Ulrich

And that's it, for the moment! 

Which leaves, of course...

Fredrick

 Michael

Mateo

Now, it's time to meet another guy, and time for another couple to match up! Reminder: you may separate an existing couple, but in doing so, you can only couple up with Ulrich, and not Derek. However, there are still three handsome guys waiting to be coupled up, take your pick! Remember to send your first and second picks out of those who started outside near the pool [Derek not included]

Time for our next guy to arrive! Here he comes now! 

.
.
.

RICKY VALENTINO! 

[notice he and Derek have the same hairstyle, that's cute] 

Meet Ricky. Hailing from Bridgeport - isn't it obvious, baby? - Ricky is 26, a hairdresser, and he's here for the man of his dreams, isn't that sweet? I hope he finds that man! It's time for you to couple up, Ricky! 

____________________________________________

Kitty, as the creator of Ricky, you're up next to pick from the three by the pool (and Ulrich if you feel like stealing)! Send me your first and second picks, please, and hope no one steals away the gay you want Ricky to be with! Remember, no coupling is final, and if you begin to regret your decision, you will have a chance to jump ship at some point, and at multiple points throughout the season. 

As soon as Kitty has sent me Ricky's choices, the next guy will make his way out to the pool to make his decision!


RICKY HAS MADE HIS CHOICE: 

The current couples are: 

 

Derek & Ulrich

Ricky & Fredrick

And that's all for now! 

Which, of course, leaves: 

Michael

Mateo

Now, it's time to meet another guy, and time for another couple to match up! Reminder: you may separate an existing couple, but in doing so, you can only couple up with Ulrich or Fredrick, and not Derek or Ricky. However, there are still two handsome guys waiting to be coupled up, take your pick!

Our third guy to step out of those gates and arrive at the villa to make his pick is....


.
.
.

ALBON BLANKETT! 

Meet Albon, he's 37 years old, our oldest contestant (sorry that's mean of me, but it's the truth), but he's a CEO, gents and gents! He's got the money, but now, all he wants is the love...so let's find it for him! 

___________________________________________

Vul, as the creator of Albon, you're up next to pick from the two by the pool (and Ulrich/Fredrick if you feel like stealing)! Send me your first and second picks, please, and hope no one steals away the gay you want Albon to be with! Remember, no coupling is final, and if you begin to regret your decision, you will have a chance to jump ship at some point, and at multiple points throughout the season. 

As soon as Vul has sent me Albon's choices, the final guy will make his way out to the pool to make his decision!


ALBON HAS MADE HIS CHOICE: 

The current couples are: 

 

Derek & Ulrich

Ricky & Fredrick

 

Aldon & Mateo

Which, unfortunately, leaves poor Michael by himself by the pool. 

Now, it is time to meet and fourth and final guy to enter and make his coupling up decision! Reminder: our final man may separate an existing couple, or simply choose to couple up with Michael. If he chooses to separate a couple, a reminder that he may only choose Ulrich, Fredrick or Mateo to couple up with. If he separates any couple, the leftover (eg. Derek/Ricky/Aldon) will be coupled up with Michael, and the ceremony will be over. But perhaps our final guy will take a liking to Michael! Who couldn't? 

What a cutie. 

Let's meet our final guy! 

.
.
.

QUINTON BOWER! 

Meet Quinton, a 24-year old graphic design student from Hidden Springs, hoping to come more out of his shell and find love! Let's hope he finds it, after all that is our purpose here today, and for the next while, hey? We'll get you hooked up, Quinton! Hehe. 

Time to make your choice! Shall you go for Michael, or shall you choose someone already in a couple? 

_____________________________________________________

Alleen, as the creator of Quinton, you're lucky last to pick from Michael (and Ulrich/Fredrick/Mateo if you feel like stealing)! Send me your first and second picks, please, and you're in a lucky position that no one can steal from you! Remember, no coupling is final, and if you begin to regret your decision, you will have a chance to jump ship at some point, and at multiple points throughout the season. 

As soon as Alleen has sent me Quinton's choices...that'll be it! The first coupling ceremony will be over! Then, perhaps, we'll introduce the lucky guys standing by the pool a little more...who knows. 

QUINTON HAS MADE HIS CHOICE: 

Our couples, as of the First Coupling are: 

Derek & Ulrich

Ricky & Fredrick

Albon & Mateo 

and...

Quinton & Michael

With that, the coupling ceremony is complete! Rather drama free, huh? No one stole from each other, no one started screaming...I suppose, perhaps that will come with time? Soon enough there is bound to be trouble. 

[Keep your eye out for a proper introduction to the guys that stood by the pool, and soon the first proper episode of Gay Love Island...]
