I VOWED I would never do this...

...but I actually have the Bachelor on TV right now. In case you are wondering why I've stooped to this level of reality TV, it is because I am currently attempting to complete 8 hours of online "safe driver" education to get out of a ticket I got over the summer (boo!!). What better way to pass the horrid and boring time than with a 2 hour premiere?! (oh and just to be clear, I totally jumped on the Flavor of Love (Season 1) bandwagon back in the 2000s (ha!), so this better be just as entertaining. FLAVA FLAV!!)

I have never actually seen the Bachelor, but I, like every sane/normal 20something, know what it is. From what I can gather the bachelor (Jake) is one of the losers from the Bachelorette. And that bachelorette was one of the losers from the Bachelor before that. Crazy and confusing, I know. But I guess that makes sense - you keep your viewers by transitioning nicely from one season to the next.

First, I don't understand how a hot and seemingly normal guy can end up single at the age of 31 (and he is totally and completely obsessed with finding a wife out of this...I'm sorry, but did I miss something here?! Since when are guys DYING to be engaged?! And to a women he barely knows?! The universe is crashing in!!). He is probably a d-bag or a total weirdo. For some reason I just can't comprehend how it is a good idea to allow a network like ABC to select your FINAL 25 choices for a wife (case in point, the show on after the Bachelor is called Conveyor Belt of Love. I really don't need to explain much more than that). But whatever. What interests me about this show is the fact that putting 25 (yes TWENTY FIVE) young and probably crazy women in a house with one dude is a complete recipe for disaster. ESPECIALLY if their whole purpose for being in said house is to win over ONE dude's heart. Oh and who doesn't love judging a house full of psycho women? Let the jealous rage begin!!

    I've never seen The Bachelor. I prefer my reality shows to come with a side of STD- ala Flavor of Love. My personal fav was season one of Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. I loved that "Hey girl hey" chick.

    Join the Bachelor bandwagon... I tend to prefer the Bachelorette though. :) I watched last season when Jake was a contestant and he seems a little crazy... like mildly OCD and definitely one of those super clingy boyfriends that smothers the girl he is with. I didn't want the premiere last night, and I am contemplating whether or not I will check it out online... Thanks for the review, lover!

    This is the one reality TV show B absolutely, 100% puts his foot down on and WILL NOT WATCH with me.

    Well, and Bad Girls Club. Oh, and ANTM.

    God, I watch a lot of crappy TV.
