Lagzial, McGowan, and their team began planning and set up advertising on street corners and in bars. They soon had potential contestants lining up.

“It was a real, weird, authentic experience that isn’t just living inside of your phone,” Maeve Norton, a 29-year-old women who signed up for a chance to win Ashendorf’s heart, told the outlet.
Lagzial said they eventually had nine women sign up for the show. “At the end of the day, we didn’t say no to people,” she said. “Whoever wanted to show up, we had them on.”
