She then got to pick one of the final three to go on a date with.
Luckily, despite the high cringe-factor, the whole thing had a happy ending: the date (which took place in a conference room down the hall) clearly went well enough for the lucky guy to be invited back to a Late Late Show holiday party as a plus one. Read more…
