Unveiling the Chilling True Story of the Serial Killer Behind Woman of the Hour
Bradshaw also inquired of her potential suitors, “I am preparing you for a meal. What is your name and how do you appear?”
Alcala famously responded, “I go by the name banana and I am quite appealing.” When asked for further elaboration, he insisted, “Peel me!”

Despite choosing Alcala (the show suggested a tennis session and visit to Magic Mountain for their date), she ultimately declined once she met him in person.
