Freshman, Desiree Allen helped to come up with some of the questions the participants asked. Some students from the group asked me to make some questions to ask the potential dates, Allen said.
Senior, Crystele Seya a contestant in the dating show enjoyed the experience. I had never been a part of something like this and it was a good experience, Seya said.
“It looked like a lot of fun, I never thought I would have enough courage to do it.” Seya stated.
It’s not all about the contestants though, students in the crowd get a chance to offer their opinion on controversial questions.
The questions range anywhere from body preferences to One night stands and anything in between.
Active BSA member Anthony Morris, was pleased with the turnout. It is something they worked very hard in order to get students to come out and enjoy the show, Morris said.
“I really liked how it turned out, we’ve been planning it since last semester, I was glad to see everyone entertained and having fun.” Morris stated.
BSA hopes to offer this and more events like it in the coming semesters to get even more student interaction.
