The Bachelor

Hi, my name is Jessica and I may or may not semi-regularly tune in to ABC's The Bachelor.

Now is when you swallow your laughter and reply supportively, "Hi Jessica."

Yes, I have been known to sit down with my giggly roommates and watch (scratch that) mock an episode or two from time to time. (You like the way I'm skirting any true commitment to this terribly cheesy show?)

But, don't you worry I've not done it very long.

In fact, I know absolutely nothing about Andrew Firestone or Meredith Phillips.

I wouldn't even be able to hold my own in a conversation about Dr. Travis Stork from Jackson, TN, Brad Womack from Austin or Trista and Ryan in Vail.

And I certainly have no idea who Deanna Pappas or Jesse Csincsak (if that's even how you spell his last name) even are nor that they recently broke up which was explained by him on a youtube video.

I mean who really keeps up with that stuff anyway? (Said while dramatically rolling my eyes)

In order to keep my pride, this post is short.

But because I know that there are a few closet fans out there, I thought I'd go ahead and humble myself for your sake. Especially because I have a couple links that I think you'll enjoy.

ihategreenbeans - an Aggie's hilarious blog summerizing each episode, drenched in sarcastic goodness.

Our Host Chris Harrison's very own blog started this season, full of behind the scenes goodness with extended scenes. Also real funny. Episode 1 ; Episode 2

If you're still reading this, than I have to believe that you are a fan, secret or not.

So, tell me what you think.

Who do you think will win Jason's heart? Is Jason in fact a terrible dad for putting Ty through this? What's the story with Ty's mom? Is Deanna gonna come grab J back?

Comment Away!

I admire you for putting yourself out on a limb for the Bachelor.

I will gladly join you. Judge me if you will, but I love to watch the insane (read: scary) side of women come out on TV. The fact that these outbursts are are sandwiched inbetween the creepy idea of 15 women dating one guy and the cheesiness of ABC makes it even better.

Plus, day after sarcasm blogs are my favorite! :)

Em and I would happily have you join us on our couch anytime. Snide comments and pointing fingers is highly encouraged.

Here's what I think:

American Idol starts tonight, and I'm going to need you to watch so we can text/gchat back and forth like we did last year.

i also might sometimes tune in for an episode here and there. it's not quite the same watching it with clay as it is with my roomies!

Way to own up to your Bachelor-viewing habits, Jess!

And I'm so glad you checked out the blogs. . . it makes it so much more fun!

uh...this is really funny for numerous reasons.

1. my roommates love it too.
2. i am equally disgusted and intrigued with the whole spectacle.
3. i have an honest problem with a harem of woman chasing after one man.
4. i had a gag reflex by the time the 3rd woman was trying to get jason to kiss her and had to silently vomit in the bathroom as to not disturb my ever faithful roommates.

i hate to be this girl...but i think i officially have negative thoughts about this show. :)

love you.

And by "semi-regularly" do you mean, "I plan my entire week around that one night of the Bachelor?" That's what I thought.
