Voting process
editThe voting procedure differs from other voting processes, due to the use of an "Ebony Sphere" or "Black Ball" to decide the fate of other cast members. Each player places a BlackBall in the corresponding box labeled with an opposing players name. At that time, the two (or more) players with the most votes are taken in front of Fonzworth Bentley. The chosen players are then assessed, and Bentley alone makes the final decision.
In season 1, voting was overseen by judge Isaac Berkeley DeWilliams III, who would often interact with the contestants on a personal and romantic level.
