I solemnly swear

I’m never watching the Bachelor again. It’s my secret shame that I’ve watched most seasons. The idea that 25 women are desperate enough to go on TV and say “I don’t even know this guy but I heard he’s single and looking so I think I love him” makes me a little embarrassed for all women. Well, that and the fact that only one couple out of them all, is still together. Clearly, dating and fake dating on TV with cameras following your every move is not the best indicator of compatibility.

But this last rush for ratings was too much even for me. There was the big finale with a faux engagement after knowing each other only a few weeks plus of course the corny jumping in pool with clothes on. Then the update hour right after, which was actually 6 weeks after the finale, where the guy switched girls. Broke up with his original pick and asked Miss number two for a shot. Now he just seems camera crazy and much less like the great guy he was at first.

That was more than enough, but then there was another hour on last night. In yet another update, we got to see the guy and his second choice still happy after six weeks. Wow, must be the real thing. So now we’re caught up to real time in Bachelor World. Cause I couldn’t sleep until I knew? Ugg. I feel dirty.
