I f*ckin love TV.

It's pretty bad. I am becoming a monster. Not for the fact that I love TV, because hot damn do I love my TV, no shame here, but what I have resorted to watching. I have that problem where your favorite TV shows are not in season or have been cancelled, so you actually have a microscopic panic attack thinking about how you won't have anything to fill that 7:00 time slot on your Monday evenings off. See?! Monster! I have now found something, though.  Normally, I am one of those people who despises anything mainstream or people who worship what the media throws in our faces and tells us to.

But I do watch what my mom tells me to.

And that would be The Bachelor.
I know, I know.

But let me justify myself before you start in on the jokes.

The women on this show are THE epitome of what I hate about this society. My mother and I LOVE talking shit on all these whack jobs! They come on this show, completely plastic looking or covered in makeup, you know the kind of Kardashian type, trying to woo this suitor. Using the words "amazing" and "this experience" and "connection" or "bond" at least 10 times a show, these women proclaim their love into a camera for the man they have only been introduced to a few weeks prior. They pretend to be the kindest, sweetest, selfless, down to earth girls the guy has ever laid eyes on. In reality, they are the most deceitful, evil little turds you will ever enjoy hating. They make each others lives hell fighting for this man. I can see right through that facade. They just want the fame and the money of this man to support their shopping addictions and mani pedis.

But there's always this one girl that stands out...
She sees the same things you do in the other girls..
She brings them to light and pokes fun at them..
She actually is a kind, down to earth person..
THIS IS THE GIRL YOU F*CKIN ROOT THE SH*T OUT OF!!!

SHES GONNA TAKE IT ALL!
AND SHE DOES! AND YOURE LAUGHING AND CHEERING AND SCREAMING AT THE TV!!
....then you realize what an ass you're making of yourself.

And your husband questions your sanity...
So you scold yourself for being another part of the dumb media craze...

Then you go blog about it because you can't help yourself.




Jimmy Kimmel does a great job of making fun of The Bachelor if you want to take a look.

  1. Never been a big fan of the bachelor, but I can understand the obsession. When I was younger, like 6 or 7 years ago, I used to watch all those crazy dating shows on VH1. Can you say addicting. Still today, I have the biggest loser, American idol, the real world all dvr'd. My new absolute favorite show is Empire, I now love my Wednesday nights for an hour of a break from homework!!!
