Goodmorningladiesandgentlemenboysandgirls! As promised in last week's article, here are three more Interviews of the Selected! Enjoy getting to know the girls a little better ;)

Anastasia Pembroke, 24, Whites:

Jesse: Why did you sign up for the Selection?

Anastasia: My boss; he decided that this would be my vacation instead of paying me for two weeks in Dominica. His loss, though, since I've been here for almost 2 months…

Jesse: You are on one of three lists: how do you feel about that?

Ana: I'm not surprised I'm on only one. I probably scared Glasses and the Kid.

Jesse: How was your group date with Nathan?

Ana: It was... pretty fun actually. Sir Sleeps-Around isn't half bad when with others.

Jesse: What pushed you to flip Nathan like a pancake upon first meeting him?

Ana: I absolutely hate being called a doll. I may be off-duty but I expect respect.

Jesse: Understandable. And how long have you been a cop for?

Ana: Ooh, as long as I've been old enough to join the force. I've been lieutenant for longer than I was an ordinary cop.

Jesse: I've noticed you spent lots of time with a certain Bodyguard… Do you have something to say about that?

Ana: You mean Parker? Well, Nathan spends so much time with other women I have to occupy my time somehow and he and I, we share interests and experiences…

Jesse: I see… Can you give me two weaknesses and two strengths?

Ana: You'll get one and like it. I am a go-getter and WILL get a job done. I also admit that I am a little hot-headed and can act rashly if provoked.

Jesse: What's your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Ana: If you expect me to say something like Margarita or Cosmo you'd be dead wrong. I'm more of a Manhattan woman but I do enjoy a good Piña Colada.

Jesse: What's your favorite movie genre?

Ana: I don't have a particular favorite genre but my two favorites are Horror and Spy flicks. I don't mind cop movies either.

Jesse: Can you describe yourself in 3 words starting with the same letter?

Ana: Serious, Strict, and Snide.

Jesse: On a scale from 1-10, how much do you love Doug?

Ana: Glasses' dog? He's adorable, he reminds me of my own dogs. Oh, right, a number uh... 9.

Emelda DeChini, 23, Ottaro:

Jesse: Why did you sign up for the Selection?

Emelda: uhm *nervous laughter* I signed up because I wanted to meet Nathan, actually. I think we could be a really good match. And also, I'm excited to be in the front seat to see how each Prince's fairytale will play out, to be honest!

Jesse: You are on only one of the lists: how do you feel about that?

Emelda: I'm on the perfectly right list. I came for Nathan, and I'm on his list. What more could I ask for, really? But then again, every single girl was on his list. So does that make me special? I don't know. But I'm on the list I came for, and that's all that counts!

Jesse: How was your date with Prince Nathan?

Emelda: it was actually really nice and romantic. He invited me to dinner and we had a very interesting conversation afterward. I saw something in him that I didn't often see and I liked it.

Jesse: May I ask you something personal? Did you share Nathan's bed?

Emelda: I- *laughter* That's very personal, Jesse! But… Yes. And it was… amazing… *blushes*

Jesse: I understand you're an Olympic Gymnast: how many medals have you won?

Emelda: 5 bronze medals the first time, and then the second time I won 3 bronze, 5 silver, and 2 gold. So, 15 in total!

Jesse: That's amazing! Congratulations! Now, do you have a special talent, except gymnastics, of course?

Emelda: Hmm, let me see. Oh! I know! I'm quite the skilled snowman maker. I've had lots of practice, living in my beautiful snowy Ottaro. I can make snowmen, snowladies, and they're always very stylish, thank you very much.

Jesse: *laughter* I wish I could see them! Can you give me two weaknesses and two strengths?

Emelda: Sure! I'm friendly, as you can see, and I'm energetic! But you probably also noticed that. *laughter* as for weaknesses… I'm not very good on my own, I always need to have a friend around, and then that friend complains that I daydream too much.

Jesse: What's your favorite drink?

Emelda: Lime Soda, without a hesitation.

Jesse: What's your favorite color?

Emelda: Deep red.

Jesse: Can you describe yourself in 3 words starting with the same letter?

Emelda: It's going to be the same ones I gave Silas on our first meeting… I'm Idealist, Intrepid, and Informal! *laughter*

Jesse: On a scale from 1-10, how much do you love Doug?

Emelda: 10! He's so cute and adorable. I would do anything for him.

Laelia Castano, 23, Likely:

Jesse: Why did you sign up for the Selection?

Laelia: I'm a writer: I fish for ideas wherever I can find them. And I really needed inspiration. Also, it could be a vacation, you know? Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Jesse: You are on 2 of the lists: how do you feel about that?

Laelia: Surprised, honestly! Though I do think I scare Valerian a little. I mean, he did tell me he didn't sleep for two nights after reading my book. Poor baby. And Nathan? I do have to say that he's persistent…

Jesse: How were your dates with the Princes?

Laelia: I actually only had one date. It was with Nathan, and we watched a horror movie! You should have seen him! he was so terrified! I think it was his first time watching something not Star Wars related.

Jesse: You said once you were looking for inspiration in the Selection… did you find it?

Laelia: Maybe. But that's classified information. I don't want to tell you too much in case it doesn't end up being anything…

Jesse: Okay, I understand. Laelia, what is something that you like to do, at home?

Laelia: *Laughter* This may sound weird, but I like to eat ice cream at three in the morning on the roof of my house. Especially when I'm in the middle of a chapter that's hard to write. I like to get an overview and reflect on things.

Jesse: Can you tell me something else about you? Something random or weird?

Laelia: I'm ambidextrous… That means I can do things like writing with both hands equally.

Jesse: That's amazing! Can you give me two weaknesses and two strengths?

Laelia: Sure! I like to think that I'm a quick thinker. I like to brainstorm ideas and then just come up with crazy stuff! People also say that I am way too energetic and that I should try to calm down a little. But I don't want to! Being enthusiastic about life is who I am, you know? When it comes to weaknesses… I think I can be a little insensitive to other people's feelings; and people sometimes don't understand my sarcasm: they think I'm mean.

Jesse: What's your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Laelia: Royal Kir. I love my Champagne…

Jesse: What's your favorite book genre?

Laelia: *Laughter* To write? Horror, obviously. But also to read, actually. It gives me ideas…

Jesse: Can you describe yourself in 3 words starting with the same letter?

Laelia: Sarcastic, Smart, and Stubborn.

Jesse: On a scale from 1-10, how much do you love Doug?

Laelia: hmm… maybe a 7. I mean he's cute and all, but I hate it when he licks my face. He did it once, and it was awful.
