The Bachelor/Bachelorette Fantasy Draft


Picture taken from ABC.com
Nowadays, football isn't the only sport where you can start a Fantasy Draft. If you're really into the Bachelor (or Bachelorette) like we are, then maybe it's time to place your bet on who will win the heart of Juan Pablo by joining a Bachelor Fantasy Draft. Some of our friends have been doing this every Bachelor and Bachelorette season so we finally decided to learn how to be apart of this. The below rules and scoring were taken from Bachelor Fantasy Draft. It's not too late to start, so feel free to start your draft now! Here is how they shared how to play:

Before the Premiere:Before the first episode, cast in your votes on who you think will be the last 5 girls (or guys) standing. Visit ABC.com to see a photo of each potential match and read their profiles to help you pick your top 5. At this time, you don't need to put them in order.

Before Episode 2:You can replace 3 of your 5 picks with new girls (or guys). If after the first episode, 4 out of your 5 picks get sent home, you still can only choose 3 new picks.

Before Episode 3:You have the option of replacing 2 of your picks with new girls (or guys). You don't have to replace any of your picks if you do not want to, but if one or more of your picks are sent home you need to replace them.

Before Episode 4:It's time to take all 5 picks you have and rank them first to fifth place. First place would be the girl you feel will win the heart of the Bachelor (or the guy who will win the heart of the Bachelorette).

Before Episode 5 until the final rose ceremony:The order and picks you chose before Episode 4 are your final and locked in picks for the rest of the season. You can not replace any of your picks, even if they get voted off. Good luck!

Weekly Bonus Points
Every week each player will have the opportunity to win 20 bonus points by answering the weekly bonus point question correctly: "Who will be sent home this week?"

Feel free to change up the weekly bonus question according to each season, or just a more exciting question...
"Who will sing to the Bachelor?"
"Who will be the outcast?"
"Who storms out?"
"Who kisses the Bachelor first?"

Ideally, the questions should be answered in that week's episode. You can watch the preview for the following week's episode where ABC almost always leaves you guessing something, like who was crying to the Bachelor/Bachelorette or who stormed out, stuff like that...

Top 5 Points

If you picked the right girl(s)/guy(s) in the correct order you receive points for every correctly placed pick...
1. 800 pts
2. 600 pts
3. 400 pts
4. 200 pts
5. 100 pts

If you picked girls/guys to be in the Top 5, but not in the correct order...
You receive 25 pts for each pick

Choose whatever you'd like for your "buy-in" amount, we started with $10 each player.

TSS FUN TIP: If you're getting together with all of your friends every Monday, have a board that has all the Bachelor women's faces (or Bachelorette guy's faces) on it. Each time a girl/guy is eliminated, cross her/his face off. At your get-together make sure you have lots of food and drinks and of course, include some chocolate roses for the rose ceremony--it's fun to be apart of the action!

Have fun!

Fashion Spotlight: Casey Shteamer from Imperfect Wonder



 Photos: Imperfect Wonder

"Fashion blogs are something I didn't really discover until two years ago. Blogs are wonderful because the inspiration is never ending. The more time I spent on other people's blogs, the more I wanted to have my own."  -Casey, Imperfect Wonder


1. What are your favorite places to shop?  Any places where you find great secret steals?
"I LOVE Stone Cold Fox.  I would live in their designs if I could.  But until I have that kind of bank account, I generally shop at Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and Zara.  Urban Outfitters has great sales, so that is usually where I snag a deal."

2. If you could have anyone's closet, who's would it be?
"Elin Kling - I die over her."

3. Where do you look for fashion inspiration?
"Other blogs.  I feel like magazines aren't the best sources of inspiration anymore.  They seem so limited.  Also, other countries and cultures."

4. It's a Saturday night out on the town.  What are you wearing?
"Lately, my new sky high Alexander Wang black boots, black leggings, and an oversized knit sweater."

5. We love your ability to mix & match, especially with statement pieces and bold patterns.  What are your rules of thumb to transform these pieces into a fabulous outfit?
"For me, actually trying pieces on together is how I tell if I think they work.  Sometimes, I have an idea, but when I try it on it just looks awkward.  I'll pick a loud patterned piece that I want to wear, and then try everything in my closet to see what works best!  My room looks like a tornado came through afterward, but I get lots of new ideas.  It's also a good way to revive things you have pushed to the back of your closet for a while."

6. Favorite beauty products that you can't live without?
"Argan oil and raw honey.  I use raw honey as a face wash.  It is so gentle on the skin and it's completely natural which I love. Then Argan oil as a moisturizer for my face and hair.  I try to go all natural when I can."

7. What sorority were you in & what was your favorite part about being in a sorority?
"I was a Kappa Alpha Theta at Arizona State University.  I loved it!  My favorite part was definitely the community it created.  Going to such a large school, it was nice to have a smaller sub sect of the student body to be a part of.  It made it more manageable." 

8. What did sorority life teach you that you applied in the real world?
"You get out as much as you put in.  Sometimes, I wish I had put more into sorority life, as it really is something that the more effort you put in, the more rewarding the experience is.  Life is just the same."



Thank you again, Casey!  Be sure to check out Imperfect Wonder for more style inspiration.
