With 6 participants and 3 dates, the aesthetically pleasing solution is to use each party once, so I’m curious which combination you went with, or just preferred the most (folding together disaster dates or star-spun ones, because 48 choices is slightly too many for a fun poll). Optionally, did any line stick with you or confirm your choice?
I picked the Curate/Drownie because they seemed eager right off the bat, and then I let the Chef and Plenty enact a disaster because somehow I thought they’d enjoy that more. I wasn’t sure about Jervaise and the Replete but I found their boat ride affecting in a sort of dry, sweet way: "Occasionally he sends out an encouraging cheer […] When she lands, he hands her a cigarette and they smoke in companionable silence".
