NETFLIX & CHILL

The first season of NETFLIX & CHILL consists of 16 models and was broadcasted on the Fashion Games forum of Reality Bites Games. Sign-ups for the game commenced on December 5, 2020, and the game officially started on December 7, 2020. There was no judging panel; public voting solely decided the call-out each week, in addition to earned bonuses.

Gameplay
Each week, I will provide you with two themes: a theme from a movie and a theme from a television show. These themes will relate to movies and television shows on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Showtime, HBO, and other platforms. Your job is to find your best pictures within your model’s portfolio that match the given themes. Once all of the pictures are collected from our outstanding models, pictures will be posted for public vote.

The call-out order will be determined by a combination of scores in both challenges each week. In addition, there will be bonuses that contribute to your weekly scores. Performing in the top for either challenge, as well as roleplaying or “chill[/ing]” (up to 5 points in total), will be added to your weekly score. Moreover, there will be a quote of the week challenge which may add an additional +3 points to your score, if won. Finally, at the end of every week, there will be a bottom two, and the model with the lower overall score will be eliminated.

Once we get to the final two, the final two will face off in portfolio voting. The model with the highest overall score will win NETFLIX & CHILL.
