I can't believe I'm putting myself through it again. I always say I'm not going to watch, but then, I DO! Last night, I was too busy playing the Wii with Craig to watch, but today, as Kevin is over at my cousin's and Laura is taking a very long nap, I decided to waste the morning and sit here messing around with my blogs (I can't find a new background for the family blog that I like!) and watching....
The Bachelor!! Just like a car wreck, I can't help but watch.
I just finished the episode and in the "This season on The Bachelor" segment, see that they are going to bring Deanna back. Now I'm disgusted. It's just wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. She dumped Jason, in a horrible, embarrassing way after he got down on one knee, then dumped the guy she did pick, and now she's all, (insert your whiniest voice here) "I made a mistake..." and in another clip, "hehehe..." accompanied by the lean-in stroking his arm grabby thing as if to say "Oh Jason... See how adorable I am?? America loves me, and I know I'm so charming you'll send all these other b*&$h's home!" Icky. And Wrong. ABC must be paying these people an awful lot of money to get them to come back on tv and humiliate themselves, looking so desperate. Or are they really just that desperate? Hello, Gena, here's the first clue: They are on reality television looking for love.
Like when they brought Andrew Firestone back to watch the finale of Jenn Schefft's run as the Bachelorette and they put the backstage camera feed box in the corner of the screen. Really? It undermines my ability to take the show seriously when they pull all these ridiculous drama creating stunts. Wait, think about what I just wrote. Am I really attempting to take these shows seriously?? That's my problem.
Well, here's my hope for this stupid ratings stunt. I hope Jason returns the favor and dumps Deanna flat on her giggly little ass. (I'm feeling very passionate about it, and I know, I should tell you what I really think of her.) If he can weed out the obsessed stalkers, I think he has a much better chance of finding someone who came on the show genuinely and purposefully to be a part of his life.
Whew. I feel better getting that out. And as much as I swore I wouldn't, I'm a hopeless romantic believing in love in any forum, so I will again be watching. But because I love to hate the show so much, I just may need to rant about it from time to time...
