01. Xena: Blind date #1, have you ever mastered a staff, been an Amazon Princess, or been dragged down to the depths of hell by a demon?
Blind date #1: What???
Xena: Do you at least have blond hair?
Blind date #1: Um.....
Xena: (sighs) never mind!

(from AmazonWannabe)

02. "So the catch is that I have to go on a DATE with one of 'em before I can blind them? Oh all right...small price to pay I suppose."
(from Emily Mills)

03. Xena (whispering): Gabrielle, I thought we went through this with my mother! Besides, everyone knows I'm gonna ditch whoever I pick in the parking lot and go to your place.
(from Thomas Healy)

04. Xena, "Yeah sure, Bachelor # 3, you're **** like a horse."
(from ArtemisOK)

05. Lovely Host: Now, Xena, it's time for you to pick your choice. Are you having a tough time making up your mind?
Xena: (grunting) Tell me about it. From the answers they're giving me, no one matches my taste even if you paid me dinars just to go one with one of them.

(from Virginia & Lourdes S.)

06. Blond hair, abs of steel, your baby's co-parent? Nooooooo, I don't think any of them meet those requirements...

(from icebear)

08. "Now Xena, you have one more question. Describe your perfect date."
(from jan ouellette)

09. "BLIND Date, eh? Maybe it isn't just a myth...but I reeeally don't want to think about how a centaur manages that sort of activity..."
(from Emily Mills)

(from A.L.Shaughnessy)

13. "Xena, remember you said you wanted a guy who shares your love of leather underwear...?"
(from A.L.Shaughnessy)

14. "Guy #2... If you could dress up as a room in your apartment, which one would it be?"
(from Lasse Makholm)

15. Joxer: A "dumb flunkie" and a centaur. Do they think they have to rig it this much for me to win?
(from Andjam)

16. "Um...are you SURE these are my only three choices??"
(from Kiwimate)

17. "Let's take a look"
"Um... is Gabrielle behind there?"

(from Joanne)

18. Host: So Xena, who's it going to be? The war god without a clue?
Ares: So Xena? You and me, are we on or not?
Xena: You still don't get it and you never will, but the answer still stands at no
Host: The dimwitted, misguided warrior?
Joxer:Uh, Xena, care to, uh, go out with me?
Xena:Why go out with me? You've got Meg.
Joxer: Oh yeah. See ya around Xena
Host:Or will it be horse boy?
Xena: I've done it with Borias on horseback, and I'm not going to do it with a horse. I'm going with Gabby.
Host:But Xena, she isn't one of the choices.
Xena: When I say she is one of the choices, she is one of the choices.
Host: In that case Xena, enjoy your date with Gabrielle

(from Steve Root)

19. Xena: Bachelor number 1, I like to fight, what do you like to do?
Bachelor 1: I like long walks in the moonlight and looking at myself in mirrors. Fight? Ha! My good looks win the day.
Xena: Bachelor number 2 same question.
Bachelor 2: I love fighting!
Xena: Bachelor 3, If you could eat any food what would you eat?
Bachelor 3: Hay.
Xena: I pick number 2.

I live "across the pond" in bonny old England, currently doing a Degree in Media Production, specialising in Animation. I enjoy directing, storyboarding and creating comedy scripts (I like comedy alot so that's why the funny episodes of XWP are my favourite!) I'm also getting into web design and have started to produce my own site: http://www.c-gue.demon.co.uk/. At the moment I'm living the typical life of a student and loving every minute of it.

Marian Pappaceno was born to the glitter city of Las Vegas in 1964. Always the tough gal, she was happy to play the role of the bad guy with the neighborhood kids, usually as a thief or alien-come-to-conquer-earth. An artist at heart, she draws constantly when not at her job in nuclear medicine. As mistress of The Temple Of Joxer, she does not take kindly to Ted-bashing and lusts after anyone who knows all the words to his song.
