I'd scare off my BFF's blind dates because that'd give me an excuse to pull out some really OTT and whack personas (and dress accordingly) 😂. Feels that this option would be more fun and run less of a risk of things getting unnecessarily complicated (especially if the BFF is someone you catch feelings for or already had feelings for).

This one is hard because I would totally do either one. Ha-ri's strategies were many and varied, and I'm not sure mine would be that creative, but I don't think it would be that hard to be a seriously unappealing date. And for a friend? Sure.

The spouse thing would be harder because presumably it's longer-term, so the deception has to continue for a while (which is the only reason I picked the dates), but I would still totally do it. I don't know many women who haven't had their friend pretend to be their partner for a few minutes to dissuade some creepy guy, so it would be nice to return the favor if someone needed it.

I aspire to scare off my BFF's blind date by declaring, "The one on the left is Samantha and the one on the right is Rachel."

I assume being BFF is being deep in the friend zone so being a fake spouse could lead to real feelings which could cause a massive destruction of the platonic friendship.

And if you are being an actor, creating a character to scare off your BFF's blind dates would be more fun and interesting.

Ha! Well, @daebakgrits, if it was a personal attack, it was on us both, my friend :)

For this week, I definitely know I wouldn't play at being someone's spouse. Frankly, marriage is too difficult when it's real for me to pretend that it's a game.

So, since "Would You Rather" is indeed a game, I'll go with scaring off blind dates.

I mean, to emphasize the ridiculousness, sure, one could take Ha-ri's OTT persona-based approach, but one could also take Yeo Mi-ran's approach from Love to Hate to Love You...

scare off the dates! but im not sure if it would work I think kicking butts and being a tomboy, some folks find that attractive.

I voted scare, mostly because I could do that just by being me, without any extra effort. I doubt I could be a convincing fake spouse even if I tried.

I voted being a fake spouse. Irl people sometimes assume me and my male friends are something more than just friends anyway. It’s like I can play this part by just being me. That takes less effort than coming up with things Hari can easily do.

In the drama, she wasn't totally a fake spouse, they did register their marriage. As I'm not interested by a real divorce, I choose the second one.

Def scare off blind dates, I’m just bitchy that way 🤷‍♀️ Piece of cake!

I'll be scaring off BFF's blind dates please. I'm just one call away.

Actually both are humane things to do. I'm doing my BFF a good service by tanking or filling in. I'm literally saving BFF from a situationship. But...blind dates are crazy and what can not go wrong. At least in the first, it is not in the midst of unknown faces, BFF is most likely familiar with them(BFF's parents, family, friends, classmates, colleagues, name it). But I find blind dates( BFF parents arranged blind dates actually) more scary than not and I do not want BFF to go back and they report to the parents that BFF was not on best behavior at the table and then BFF parents haze BFF. I just take the heat instead so the steam won't be on BFF. It's one thing to be hazed by ones parents (I'm not talking in the abusive hazing, so do not go to the extremes here), it's another for it to be because someone said this or that. Most times the drama doubles cause they've lost face and they do not like it and they take it out on you(once again, it not the abusive taking out, just a reaction). So to prevent that, I'll willingly tank BFF's blind dates so there's someone else to blame who's not BFF.

I would go for fake spouse.....maybe at times turn up at places if needed but that's about it. However it's anything like 'Happiness'.....I am all in LOL!

I'd be a fake spouse. A guy BFF would be so far into the friend zone that there would be no danger of me falling in love with him, and I'm straight, so I wouldn't fall in love with my girl BFF either. And if their houses are anywhere near as nice as drama houses, I might get the perks of living there while the ruse is on.
Plus, I wouldn't know how to pull off the crazy antics required to scare off a blind date...I'd just burst out laughing at myself. Of course, just the insane laughter might be enough to scare off the unfortunate date.

Hate to sound like a wet blanket, but I would do neither. If my BFF wanted to discourage unsought-for attention or deal with nagging parents/grandparents, then they should speak up and say they’re not interested, rather than hide behind a lie. But that’s real life…in Dramaland, things would be a lot less fun without phony girlfriends, boyfriends, and spouses!

This is the first "Would You Rather" that has me in the BOTH camp instead of NEITHER. Getting to playact someone else - someone fun - for a little while? Bring it! Both options would allow me to indulge my love of showing off, being the center of attention, and possibly dressing up without committing me to those roles forever - and with the perfect excuse of helping out a friend. I have a lifetime of experience dealing with the aftermath of Party Elinor’s ill-judged antics, so I’m well-prepared for any fallout. I’m with Unaspirated @jls943 in being 100% willing to return a favor (or do one) for a friend in need, and it's all the better if we’re co-conspirators with a risk of getting caught to add to the thrill. And Scary Date would be so much fun - I’m thinking fake accent, fake ‘assets,’ gaudy designer knock-offs, and unfiltered opinions (wait, that last one is NOT fake). Where do I sign up?

I'd rather be the fake spouse. The blind dates might be nice otherwise and looking for real love. I am not mean enough to cause heartache to an otherwise kind person.

Also, as the saying goes, you always meet twice. Who knows what they will do to me in return?

The long con of being a best friend's fake spouse seems less likely to end well -- too many opportunities to blow our cover while interacting with family members and friends. So I'll opt to indulge my amateur acting skills by subbing for my BFF on blind dates. And if the dates seem like genuinely nice people, perhaps I can find a way to scare them off just enough without scarring them.

Holy cow that has got to be the closest results I've seen for these!!

While idea of being fake married is certainly more appealing to me than the real deal, I'm afraid I'm gonna get tired of it soon. Serious relationship, real or not, is one hell of a soulenergy draining thing... At least blind dates in this case are supposed to be short lived and it's up to me to make sure I won't get asked out for a sequel. With my rotten luck it will probably still be a failure though... I'm a freaking magnet for the guys who love challenge and being stomped on. Sometimes literally. Yeah... Then again, I wouldn't have to be nice and polite with them, right? You know, it's getting darkly exciting, I can finally have my own villain era this way)))

Being a fake spouse is too much of a commitment and way riskier. If someone recognizes you in your “off-mode,” then it’s: “Oh, hey, there’s XXXX’s spouse. Let’s go say hi!” vs “Oh, hey, there’s that crazy date I told you about. Let’s actively avoid her/him!”

I also think it would just be so much fun to be bat-sh*t cray-cray to these poor unassuming souls—especially if they turn out to be terrible dates.

I've kind of done both (fake gf tho, if it still counts) and scaring off blind dates tend to work much better due to my resting b***h face and side eye. Girl friend act was not nearly as convincing because I kept forgetting to play my part.

I would rather scare off the blind date. This is hoping that I don't have to do anything too wild...though the possession scheme in Business Proposal looked like a lot of fun... I hope I can get rid of them by saying I'm not looking to date or get married ("It's not you; it's me") and then we can take it from there. I'm guessing people doing on blind dates either 1. are forced to be on the blind date or 2. are looking for a serious relationship . I'd like to think that in both cases, the date would be grateful for the honesty. Then I can get on with the rest of my day/night.

I don't think I can do the fake spouse thing. I can't be acting for long stretches of time. While I think I'll be more cautious than drama characters doing the fake spouse thing....what if that BFF's family and friends end up being really nice to me or get attached to me? I'd feel so guilty. I'm watching "The Real Has Come" and I get second-hand anxiety from watching them almost get caught and then the lying to the nice people who are happy about the fake marriage.

Also what if I meet "the one (!)" while I'm off fake-spousing it with someone else?!

I am generally considered. So no shenanigan needed like Rachel and Samantha. I am good at scolding people.

But I do not think I will be averse to acting as partner (being spouse requires different kind of dedication) as well if I feel that is "right as per me" (My definition of right is 100% different from the drama heroines). I have done both the things in past though not with BFFs but just with friends. But that was very clinical without much drama as I was not in- love/infatuated with my friends or their suitors.
