## What this is A single-file three.js demo of an entire season of The Bachelor / The Bachelorette in eight minutes. Twelve contestants get out of limos, fight in group dates, fly off in the helicopter for a 1-on-1, betray each other in alliance wars, and walk down to the rose ceremony where the lead reads from twelve pedestals. Then the After the Final Rose reunion airs and a brand new season starts. ## Why this is mind-blowing Reality TV is a state machine, and this demo proves it. Limos, group dates, helicopter, tea time, fantasy suite, hometowns, final rose — every one with its own camera, its own narrator beat, its own drama-meter response. The 9-cam director knows when to zoom in on a confessional and when to pull wide to the helicopter taking off. Every season the lead changes, the archetypes reshuffle, and the show writes itself again.

What I learned shipping it

Episode-as-state is a powerful sim primitive — once each phase has its own beats, the show writes itself.
Contestant archetypes (villain / dark horse / fan fave / genuine) is what makes the rose ceremony feel like a sport with stakes.
Confessional PIP + lower-thirds + drama meter is the 3-piece UI that turns a 3D scene into reality TV.
