Chain of Fools

Chain of Fools

Modern love is hard to find. Liz Walker has pretty much given up on dating, until her boss and close friend Fletcher Raymond beguiles her into going on a dating show called Meet Your Mate. Liz is outraged at the very idea, but Fletcher wants to acquire the show for his growing production company, and he wants to test drive the concept before sealing the deal. Liz agrees only because he promises to let her make a documentary about Oscar Micheaux afterwards.
But she doesnâ€™t go willingly into the realm of reality dating. Liz concocts a plan to prove to Fletcher that only scurrilous losers resort to dating shows. She disguises herself to look like a Rodeo Drive hoochie mama so that if the guy is interested in her after her transformation, she can say â€œSee? All men are the same, theyâ€™re just looking to get a quick lay with a loose woman.â€
What she doesnâ€™t count on is meeting Romare Alexander, a very handsome and refined chef. Sheâ€™s impressed with him instantly, but even more when he shows up for their first date. He takes her to Disneyland, a place she adores. She changed into jeans, Nikes and a t-shirt and they have a ball.
Their next date is of her choosing and she takes him to the Santa Anita racetrack, a place he loves. Romare is surprised at how much fun they have because at first blush, sheâ€™s not the kind of woman he likes. In fact, his brothers and his cousin goaded him into being on the show because heâ€™s so notoriously picky when it comes to the fairer sex. â€œRaquelâ€, as sheâ€™s calling herself, doesnâ€™t have the down-to-earth look and attitude her prefers, but thereâ€™s something about her that gets to him.
Itâ€™s time for their third and final date, and Liz canâ€™t think of a way to tell Romare that sheâ€™s been stringing him along. Sheâ€™s terrified of what his reaction will be because sheâ€™s actually fallen in love with him. Sheâ€™s sure that heâ€™ll think that sheâ€™s nuttier than pecan pie and heâ€™ll drop her like a hot rock.
Romare is blissfully unaware of anything amiss until he catches a news show on CNN where Liz, devoid of her hoochie look, is being interviewed. He doesnâ€™t know why she chose to deceive him, but he thinks it has something to do with the bet his brothers made him about the outcome of the show. Heâ€™s furious when he sees the real woman behind the faÃ§ade because heâ€™s also fallen in love with Liz/Raquel and he hates the idea that sheâ€™s made a fool of him.
Liz has made a discovery of her own, that Romare is somehow involved with Fletcher because she sees the two men leaving a posh Beverly Hills restaurant together, laughing and talking like two old friends. She also sees Fletcher hand him money, which convinces her that sheâ€™s been set up.
The couple head for the final taping with similar intentions; they both planned on telling the other person off for old and new. But when Liz got a look at Romare, she couldnâ€™t do it. He had the same reaction to her; all the anger went away and he knew that whatever explanation she had, it wouldnâ€™t make him stop loving her. They went off together and talked everything over, including the fact that Fletcher was his cousin who really had been trying to get the two of them together and came up with the outlandish idea of the tv show.
Romare proposed and she accepted, with one caveat; they had to pay Fletcher back for his meddling!
