"Welcome everyone to.... The Update!" David Davidson announces. "Today we are discussing those First Dates, announcing who will be  eliminated, and discussing the Family Weekend which is happening in two days!" He turns to look at us. "So Prince William, what lovely lady has stolen your heart?"

"No one yet David, but a couple girls are catching my attention." he responds

"Who?" David asks, pushing for more.

"Well I had a good discussion with London, Hailey, Casper, and Peyton. Then I had two fun horseback riding dates with Saige. I also had fun with my walk around the gardens and picnic with Andrea."

"Let's see some of those photos shall we?" David asks, then cues someone off stage. Photos of me on a magazine cover pop up in addition to photos from our dates, the coffee dates and Andrea and Holidays walk/picnic dates.

"Miss Saige you seem pretty lucky, two dates and some features in magazines? You seem to be in the top five poll wise." He cues someone and they switch it to the recent poll. Andrea is in the lead with 34%, then Hailey with 23%, then me with 21%, then Peyton with 14% then Austyn with 8%.

"I feel lucky David!" I say. "Not only did I get to go one a date with Prince William, but I learned how to horseback ride! I have not seen any copies of the magazines, but I do hope people like me."

"They included what you said on your first date, 'if they don't like me like this, then they should not like me at all'. It got lots of positive feedback about how appearances don't matter and how you stuck up for your opinion." David says.

"I am glad to hear that, I like the thought of positive feedback around that. The Selection gets swept up with appearances and drama, and sometimes we should just appreciate the opportunity. But it can be fun, all the fuss about clothes." I respond.

"Andrea, your photos look amazing, care to tell us about it?"

"Sure David, and thank you. The picnic with Prince William was amazing. He is such a good conversationalist and such a gentleman. He always made sure that everything was okay." She twirls her hair, and looks to Will. "We walked around the palace, which is so pretty, then ate lunch at the gazebo. Prince William even set up the food himself! Isn't that nice?"

"That is nice, and cute too." David responds. "Hailey, what do you think about being second place in the polls?" Andrea mumbles, looking upset she can't talk more.

"I got really excited when I saw my name up their! I am really glad the public likes me. One good factor to a good Queen is being able to connect with the public, and I entend to have a good relationship with the public." Hailey states, then smiles.

"Now on too our next part of the show, who will be eliminated." David says in a spooky, cliff hanger voice.

"Selected," Prince William starts. "It has been a pleasure to get to know you over the past five weeks. This elimination was mostly about chemistry and if I felt a connection with you. Also if I thought I could work well alongside you. I am sorry to the fallowing, but you have been eliminated,
