Season 2, Episode 5 Probabilities - Live Blog

10:02 Jessica's not here for the money! She's here for one thing... sex.

10:04 Everyone is in denial about the loss and is ignoring one thing - that they just got the equivalent of 10 truth booths!

10:05 OK, it's pretty cool that we get to see the honeymoon suite.

10:06 Curtis with the big-time pep talk. Maybe Jessica will fall in love with him now??

10:08 Guys running in every direction. Dario and Curtis are the first two winners.

10:13 Dario picks Jenni (10.6%), Curtis picks Shelby (11.2%), and Brandon picks Jasmine (9.7%). Some bad choices so far.

10:16 Anthony wins the makeout party.

10:18 Anthony being so nice to Ellie it hurts. Come on man, be more straightforward.

10:23 That water slide looks fun.

10:24 Brandon is totally unconvincing.

10:25 And now, just so whiny. Yuck.

Truth Booth

10:29 Curtis and Shelby are the pick. Good choice.

10:30 Wait, did Nicole Byer just spoil that they're headed to the honeymoon suite?

10:33 Yep... Curtis and Shelby are a perfect match! Didn't see that coming. But Christina stays alive for another day.

This eliminates a few other pairings and brings us down to 1,584 combinations. But no additional matches.

10:37 Well, smart of Curtis to get it in with Briana quickly before they go. And it seems like Curtis and Shelby didn't hit it off at all.

10:41 Nice of Anthony to be cool about Jenni going off with John. Especially after getting that head.

10:44 Curtis called Brandon out for being 4 failures deep! Everyone is tired of him and wants him out.

10:50 Layton throwing punches everywhere!

10:52 Ellie on the outside looking in again.

11:00 3 matches. Not unexpected given the low probabilities of these matches. 603 combinations left. Took the season 1 people 3.5 episodes to get there - so these guys are catching up!

  1. I was wondering your process that you use to calculate percentages. I know you use combinations then set parameters based on truth booths and number of matches at matching ceremonies to eliminate invalid options based on those parameters. I was just wondering if you use a code to do so and am just really interested in your process and how you do it so quickly after the episode.

    1. I'd love to see the math and code on this too, if you'd be willing to post it.

  2. In my opinion Christina and Jasmine both has Alex as a match

  3. How come Alex and Ellie can't be a match anymore?

    1. That one you can figure out just by focusing on weeks one and three:

      Week 1 -- 2 Matches
      Pratt/Paris (Perfect Match)
      Curtis/Bri (Wrong, week 4)
      Brandon/Christina (Wrong, week 2)
      Nathan/Shelby (Wrong, week 5)

      That leaves just 1 more correct out of:
      Layton/Jenni
      Dario/Ashley
      John/Jasmine
      Garland/Alexandria
      Anthony/Jessica
      Alex/Ellie


      Week 3 -- 3 Matches
      Pratt/Paris (Perfect match)
      John/Christina (Wrong, week 4)
      Curtis/Bri (Wrong, week 4)
      Brandon/Shelby (Wrong, week 5)
      Anthony/Jenni (Wrong, week 4)

      Leaving 2 out of these 5 right:
      Nathan/Jessica
      Garland/Alexandria
      Dario/Ashley
      Alex/Jasmine
      Layton/Ellie


      Going back to week 1, if we assume Alex/Ellie are correct, that means Garland/Alexandria, Dario/Ashley, Alex/Jasmine, Layton/Ellie all can't be correct. Since that knocks out 4/5 remaining possibilities in week 3, and 2 of the 5 must be right, Alex/Ellie are not a possible match.

  4. a) I love your blog! b) Why did Layton and Jenni's chance go down so much?
