Friendship Indicator
The book follows the same relationship system as the Endless Summer series. Certain choices can make the contestants like, dislike, or stay neutral about you and can affect the story in the future. Over time, their behavior toward you will change.

Your relationships with other characters are improved or damaged, contestants in America's Most Eligible have a friendship emoji right next to their name whenever they speak. The color and face on the emoji indicates the nature of that character's relationship to Your Character. The emoji range from an angry blue face for enemies to a laughing reddish face for best friends and a cherry-red heart for lovers. Build alliances, make enemies, and even find romance.

Characters with friendship indicators are Your Character's opponents such as: The Handsome Stranger and The Beautiful Contestant respectively; as well as Han, Teagan, Derek, Ryder, Bianca, Ivy, Zeke, and Lina.

Here are the different statuses that the emojis can indicate, all of which represent how they feel about you, from lowest to highest:


 * Enemy


 * Hate


 * Neutral


 * Like


 * Close


 * Ally (The other contestants need to be Ally or higher in order for them to vote for you on Finale Night)


 * In Love

Format:
The Cast will compete in sexy Challenges, go on exciting Dates, and Vote each other out of the house one by one. The last person standing will win the grand prize of $500,000 and a romantic trip for two! Jen also tells Your Character that there is an Audience Vote, which means that the viewers get a say in what goes in the beach house. At the Season 10 premiere in Chapter 1 Carson tells the audience how the title of 'America's Most Eligible' is a very special title. One that they don't hand out to just anyone. He goes onto say how past winners have gone on to be authors, social media influencers, amongst other things. However if Your Character chooses to ask the Handsome Stranger in Chapter 1 if he thinks that you could win, his responce is quite an angry one. He goes onto say how  the winners of this show are cutthroat, manipulative, and even cruel. That they the stab their 'friends' in the back to get to the top.

Confessional:
A confessional is what contestant interviews are called according to Jen in Chapter 1. The producers will ask you or the other contestants some questions, and then the editing staff will in turn cut your answers together with footage from these aforementioned interviews. In order to get a little bit of everything, Jen explains to Your Character that they do interviews before the big events and some after.

In Chapter 3, Jen reminds you that in Your Character's first confessional, You pick to play as The Flirt 😘, The Sweetheart ❤ or as The Villain 😈. You can stick whatever role you initially chose, but what matters most is that you provide Jen with consistent answers. This way she can edit the footage into a story arc. While in theory you could play as The Villain one week, a flirt the next, and a sweetheart after that, it's not recommended, as it's always best not to confuse America too much. Moreover, a consistent confessional personality goes a long way. As a result, it's best to stick to your chosen role as often as possible all summer. The attitude you pick now could have lasting consequences on your game later on...

Twists:

 * Returning Contestant: The first twist revealed was the Handsome Stranger coming back into the competition. Derek reveals to Your Character in Chapter 2 that he was the runner-up last season (i.e. Season 9) and was a fan favorite.
 * Combining the Challenge and Elimination Ceremony: Derek also reveals to Your Character in Chapter 3 that the Bottom Two for the week usually stick around for a while so they can cause drama. Thus, combining both the challenge and elimination ceremony was another twist.
 * Cash Tokens: In Chapter 8 and week 4 of the competition, the contestants have the option of forfeiting this week's challenge and go for the cash tokens instead. There are six in total, but you have to split three with your partner. Moreover, Carson explains that you can't keep them. Instead, you can give them to other contestants. This is an easy way of improving your relationships with the others, but are only good for one week.
 * Bottom Three: Also in Chapter 8 and week 4 of the competition, If Zeke and Han/Lina somehow did not lose the challenge, Han/Lina will join the Bottom Two to make it a bottom 3 since it is a condition of the audience immunity. Even if you did not accept the immunity, this will still happen since Ivy did accept hers.
 * Second Bottom Three: In Chapter 9, after the Bottom Two of the Photoshoot Challenge were revealed, Carson also declared that due to an Audience Vote that occurred earlier in the season, the contestant (currently unknown which) who won that Audience Vote had the power to nominate a third person for Elimination in Week 5 and the nominee is none other than Your Character.
 * Double Elimination: During the Week 5 Elimination Ceremony, instead of voting out one of the Bottom Three to leave the competition, two contestants would be eliminated alongside one another during the ceremony.
 * Comeback After Elimination: In Chapter 11, after Your Character is eliminated from the competition and spends some time in the Jury House with the other eliminated contestants, the AME crew appears at the Jury House, something they don't normally do, and Carson announces that one of the eliminated contestants who wins the Comeback Challenge will return to the game and have another chance to be crowned America's Most Eligible.
 * Returning Contestants As Hosts: Once the game comes down to only Your Character, Handsome Stranger, and Ivy, Carson announces that for the last week of the season, Vince and Sierra, who betrayed Handsome Stranger last season, will be returning to help host the finale.
