(happy/excited) Thank you, thank you! (announce/excited) Howdy, folks and welcome to ‘The Dating Game!’ The show where ponies, and other creatures, find true love! In a moment, we will bring out today’s bachelor who will select from three lovely bachelorettes to go on a date with! Let’s go and meet the lucky ladies, shall we?

(convince) Come on, girls. Admit that you want to stop spending your evenings wallowing in loneliness, with no pony to comfort you in the middle of the night! I know what that’s like after all.

(dismissive) Never mind that. (explain) Every reality show needs some drama. (announce) Let’s talk about what you will win after today’s show! You and the mare of your choice will have a romantic candlelit dinner for two at one of the fanciest restaurants in Canterlot!
