Sharpay Evans has never had a shot at a real relationship. She was always too busy pursuing her dream to be a star on Broadway. In high school, Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan trained harder than anyone else while maintaining over 85% in all of their classes. They took every style of dance out there, they took acting lessons and singing lessons, all to reach one goal: to attend The Juilliard School of Dance, Drama and Music.
In the end, only her brother was accepted into the program. However, Sharpay went along with him to New York City spending her days working at a local coffee shop and her nights searching for auditions. One day her efforts started to pay off, she landed the lead role in an Off-Broadway Original Production. After that, auditions for roles started pouring in and Sharpay's dream started to come true. But she always felt there was something missing, a man to share all her glory with.
Now, six years later, the twenty-five year old Sharpay has been in multiple productions on and off Broadway partaking in both starring and supporting roles; including one that was nominated for a Tony Award. Feeling fulfilled, for now, in that particular area of her life, Sharpay is ready to settle down and find a man. That gentlemen is your job. You must sweep Miss Evans off her feet; the goal here is to fall in love, to gain a rose at each ceremony.
To apply or nominate someone please make a video that is approximately five minutes in length. Include everything we should know about you, have lots of details and be specific.

Dan Williams chuckled and rested the pamphlet on the arm of the old worn out brown leather sofa that sat in the living room of his spacious apartment. He knew this was exactly what his roommate needed, especially after that uptight "high school sweetheart" of his dumped him for some stereotypical rich Wall Street guy in a suit. However, after playing professional basketball with Troy Bolton for five years, he's learned a few things about the man—Troy does not like to be pushed into things and he is not interested in pick-up-a-girl-at-a-bar-rebound-sex.
In Dan's mind, that just meant that he would have to work that much harder to persuade his friend to do the show and maybe start out by doing a few things behind his back, like nominate him to be a contestant on the Bachelorette...
Dan pulled out his cell phone and dialled the number of a former team-mate, "Hi, Chad? No Taylor, it's Dan, I need to talk to Chad is he around? Yeah, yeah I'll hold... Hey man, I need your help, it's about Troy. I think I know how to help him get over Gabby..."
Chad immediately said yes without even thinking and told Dan that he was on his way over. Both friends were tired of Troy's moping phase and were ready for him to either move on to a new relationship or start having some serious rebound sex (which they knew he was not into). Within a couple hours Chad was at Dan's and was filled in on the situation and sitting across from Dan on an oversized Papasan chair. He thought it was a great idea to enter Troy into a reality TV show to fight for a girl he didn't know!
"Oh, by the way, did you say that there is a write up about the chick in that pamphlet that came in the mail?" Chad asked Dan, he was curious to see what kind of girl they were setting up their boy with.
"Yeah, it's right here," Dan handed him the pamphlet. "We're lucky Troy's out for his long workout today, could you imagine what he would say if we—"
"No. Way."
"What is—"
"Sharpay Evans? That's who's doing the show?! Man, she really has stooped to an all new low..."
Dan was confused, "An all new low? Do you know her or something?"
"Sharpay Evans was (or maybe still is) the "Ice Queen". Troy and I went to high school with her; she was this spoiled bitch who expected people to move mountains for her. It's funny, I'm surprised she didn't talk all about her Daddy's money in this...thing," Chad flapped the pamphlet and rolled his eyes. He never has hidden his distaste for the girl.
"So maybe we shouldn't—"
Chad laughed, "No, no, we still should! Troy was always nice to her, for some reason that was beyond me... The rest of the team and I would make bets to see if they would actually ever fuck each other. There was this discrete but obvious sexual tension that went on between them for years, but nothing ever happened; especially once Gabby and Troy got serious."
"Ohh, so you're thinking we just won't tell him then?" Chad nodded.
The door of the apartment opened to reveal a very sweaty Troy Bolton carrying a basketball under his arm, coming home from his workout. "Hey guys," He acknowledged the two with a head nod, throwing his white work-out towel over his shoulder. "Let me just shower quickly then we can go."
Chad quickly hid the pamphlet for the show under one of the couch cushions and looked at his friend quizzically.
"For drinks? Today is Friday is it not?" Troy replied. "We always go out Friday nights."
"Oh right, right, I remember. Hurry up then man or all the good tables will be gone!"
When Troy left the room Dan turned to Chad, "Will Tay mind if I come over tomorrow? We could start the tape then."
"Sounds good."
The bright and early the next morning Dan showed up at Chad's quaint yet modern grey and brown townhouse with a video camera in his hand. "Let's do this bitch!" Chad said a little too loudly waking his wife, Taylor McKessie, up.
"Awe hell Chad, what are you two up to now?" Taylor asked rhetorically as she came down the stairs. Shaking her head she led the way into the open stainless steel kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee. "It's eight o'clock in the morning on a Saturday."
"I know Tay but we have this plan," Taylor looked at Dan questionably as he said this. "You know the show The Bachelorette? Well, we've decided to set Troy up to go on it! It's a great way for him to get over Gabriella!"
"And you couldn't have just hired him a stripper?"
"Babe, it's more complicated than that," Chad pitched in. "Strippers only take his mind off of things for a little while. Whereas sending him off on a new adventure entirely would help him move on with his life."
"You have a point. Just stay out of trouble, don't break anything and please don't drag me into this..."
Chad kissed his wife on the cheek and said with a wink, "Yes dear."
The boys set out to find a space with good lighting. They found that the porch out back off the kitchen had the best light with its wooden panels and colourful flower pots that Taylor had arranged beautifully. They set up the furniture so that both Dan and Chad could facing each other and set up the camera.
"I think one of us should film and the other should talk about Troy. That's what it suggests on the website," Dan wanted to be the one to be on camera because after all, it was his idea.
"Good plan. So you'll film while I talk about my best friend? That was so sweet of you to offer!"
"I wasn't—wait a minute. Why do you get to be the one to talk about him?!"
"Well, I have known him for longer and I know Sharpay and the winning reason—I have the best hair." Chad stated this matter-of-factly referring to his wild curly hair that he has had since he was a baby.
Dan sighed in defeat. He knew Chad well enough to know that his argument would only get more and more crazy, he would bring Taylor into it and leave Dan feeling guilty. "Fine, I will film you," he said dryly with an eye roll. "Just remember to include—"
"Yeah, yeah I got it; just hit the record button already!" He was extremely excited to start the process.
"Okay," Dan hit the record button and signalled for Chad to start talking.
"Hey, my name is Chad Danforth. I am making this video today with my friend Dan Williams to nominate our friend Troy Bolton to be a contestant on your show.
You see, Troy just got out of this long term relationship with his high school sweetie Gabriella. She left him for some rich Wall Street dumb ass—am I allowed to say that on TV? Anyways, long story short, we felt that this show would be a great way for him to get over her.
So, a little bit about my man... He is a basketball player and has been since he was a little kid. Now he plays for the LA Lakers. But, we grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico and came out to Cali when we got accepted to UC Berkley together. Basketball and his girl were his life, when she left him he only had basketball and us. Now going back, I'm sure you are not stupid—"
"Chad!" the voice from behind the camera nagged.
"Sorry but they should take this as a compliment! I bet you noticed my little reference to our hometown Albuquerque? Troy and I attended East High School together there. Now the wheels are turning aren't they? Yes, Sharpay Evans was a fellow classmate ours. And yes, she was a royal pain in the ass—again please excuse the language—but she was. Maybe it was because she "worked so hard" or maybe it was because her Daddy gave her everything she asked for. Either way, as you can see I have never been a fan of hers. However, our boy Troy here... Personally, I always thought that these two had some kind of sexual tension going on throughout high school. Maybe I am crazy for doing this or maybe it will bring in lots of ratings for your show...
Look, Troy doesn't know that we are doing this for him; if he did I am pretty sure he would kill us—especially if he knew it was Sharpay. And I would suggest not telling her about this either... Don't believe me yet? I bet you all think I'm making this crap up to get Troy on your show, I'm not."
Chad suddenly got up from his deck chair and ran out of the screen back into the house.
"Dude!"
A minute later, which felt like an embarrassing, awkward filled silence minute to Dan, Chad returned with his yearbook from senior year; he flipped to Sharpay's picture, "Here she is here! See, I told you I'm not lying!" Chad chuckled to himself. "If you want to contact me about this, my number is 626-555-8764. Oh, and I'm sure you'll want to check this guy out!" He chuckled again, "So we'll stick some pictures in with this disk."
He nodded slightly to Dan signalling he was finished. Dan shut off the camera, leaned over and whacked Chad over the head.
"Hey! What was that for?!"
"You—"
"I was a good salesman Williams, how do you think people get on this show?" He paused for the answer to his rhetorical question. "They have to have some kind of dirt or baggage or be crazy! Troy will bring so much drama to this show; the producers will eat our shit up!"
"Okay, I guess you're right. I'll put it together and mail it first thing tomorrow." Dan got up out of his chair to let himself out.
Chad called after him, "I got some hot pictures of him at the beach last summer, I'll send you them!"
Dan turned around and gave Chad an incredulous look. He gave him a slow nod and just kept walking. I really don't get him sometimes... He thought.
