Lists, lists, and lists!

Just so you know, Jesse gave me full responsibility to write this article for him, because he's sleeping, and he'll probably be sleeping for days on end. Just kidding. But anyway. You don't really know me yet, I'm Sydney Harlow, one of Jesse's assistant – I believe some call me and Otis Jesse's Goons, which I find extremely funny – and I'm in charge of making the nice settings you've seen and I make sure all our equipment works. I also edit stuff and take pictures when Jesse and Otis aren't looking. Heh.

BUT enough about me. Let's talk about those lists Jesse and the Princes were talking about yesterday on the Royal Report… I mean, who wouldn't want to know who's on whose list of favorites, IMARIGHT?

We already all know that Nathan has taken all the girls on his list. So all 21 remaining Selected will be spending some time with the Wild Prince. Good luck, ladies. I can't even imagine dividing my attention between different people, let alone 21. I'm happy I'm already happily married and not a Selector. Nor a Selected, because I wouldn't be interested in the princes, anyway.

Now, on Valerian's list, we have a little fewer ladies, though he still has 14! In alphabetical order, he has: Ashia, Dyani, Evangeline, Evelyne Mia, Jenissa, Laelia, Leigh, Malia, Morrigan, Odessa, Pallas, Phoebe, Veronica, and of course, Yuna. He wouldn't not take one of his childhood friends on his list, mind you.

Prince Silas is a little bit pickier since we know he has only 9 girls on his favorite list. Though I had a little chat with him, and he told me that he actually only had 6 initially, and 3 are "maybes", second choice if you wish. So, in alphabetical order as well – without any difference between favorite and second-hand because he didn't want to go into more details – we have: Brandy, Evangeline, Jenissa, Leigh, Malia, Odessa, Veronica, Ximena, and Yuna, aka the best friend.

You'll notice that several of these ladies are present on all three lists, and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. I mean, it would be cool to have three princes fighting for you, but the thing is, there are 21 girls fighting for 3 princes. A real puzzle, trust me. Though I wouldn't only count on three couples, by the end of this Selection. *eyes-eyes-eyes*

Enough about lists, and let's just talk a bit about that Ball. I mean, you've all seen the footage and the interviews and everything. But did you actually see those CAKES? I mean, they were gorgeous! I wish I had a cake like that for my birthday. But then again, I'd need to have lots of friends to eat it. Or not. I could eat it on my own. I'm not sure my wife would appreciate me putting on twenty pounds just for a cake, though. Maybe just a miniature cake then? Anyway, I hope you all have sent Prince Valerian some birthday wishes! If not, don't forget to do so either on the official Instagram page for the Selection, or on Val's Instagram page, called just_val.

Anyhow. Have a nice week and see you soon for some new news on the Selection!
