Botchelor episode
Otto Fenn × Soraya Bell
Otto Fenn meets Soraya Bell
The setting
A karaoke booth, one hour booked
A dimly lit karaoke booth booked for a full hour, with a melancholic ballad already queued on the screen.
What they want
- Otto Fenn: A date who lets him finish a story
- Soraya Bell: Someone who argues about the ending afterwards
Bonus question: Who leaves the date first?
The date
First impressions
Otto adjusts his velvet jacket and steps into the booth, immediately whispering the opening lyrics to Soraya before the track even starts.
The challenge
Soraya proposes a dare to belt out the saddest song possible without looking at the lyrics, testing Otto's dramatic flair.
The decision
Otto delivers a magnificently tearful performance while Soraya dramatically drops the microphone, leading to a mutual agreement to flee the venue together.
The twist
Despite matching their theatrical energy step for step, Soraya quietly locks the door behind them as they make a chaotic exit into the night.
The finale
Otto eagerly asks for a second date while hailing a cab, but Soraya politely declines, leaving him standing on the curb with his velvet collar turned up.
Ending: A disaster
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The date, line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn — nobody scripted the lines in advance.
Watch it play out as a scene.
First impressions
Ah, finally, a rooftop cinema enthusiast—wait, please don't tell me which character drops the ice cream at the end, I hate spoilers!
If you hate spoilers, you must despise life because it always ruins the ending.
That is delightfully bleak, though I assure you, my own final act is still completely unwritten!
The challenge
Unwritten? Bold of you to assume the script isn't already a total disaster.
If it's a disaster, I insist on delivering the punchline myself!
Deliver it right then, because I'm betting the punchline is the only part worth watching.
The decision
Well, if this whole disaster goes up in flames, at least we have front-row seats to the ashes!
Honestly, watching this go down in flames is the most entertaining part of your whole routine.
The box score
“If we are going to ruin this song, we are going to do it in harmony.”
Secret agendas & the producer
The producer's act-2 situation: A dare.
- Otto Fenn: Find someone who can make it laugh
- Soraya Bell: Avoid talking about work
Guess the dealbreaker
Otto Fenn's real dealbreaker was Spoilers of any kind. You didn't guess this one.
You didn't predict this one.
