So I have a confession to make. Two weeks ago I watched at least 90 minutes of the bachelorette. I had a second TV on the side to monitor the Orioles however. One the great things about the Clark house is we have multiple average TVs. {Dad, if you’re reading this can you get HDTV soon? So when I visit my “parents house” I can watch HDTV.} So normally there are two baseball games on, but Mom took over the command station and wanted to watch the Bachelorette. And I’m so thankful I made it through an entire episode so I can blog about it. (Second confession: I watched the following two episodes in their entirety)
For those of you with more important things to do with your time (if that’s possible), the basic premise of the bachelorette is to get ridiculously good-looking people who have plenty of money but one huge character flaw and let them interact. Let the guys get mad at each other and let the girl start 25 relationships on the same date and cut them off one by one until you’re down to 2. And then all of a sudden she needs to marry one. What?! The second biggest decision of your life on national TV for all to watch. And not to mention you’re putting your “sea” in the hands of ABC and let them narrow down your future spouse to 25* people.
Oh and your entire relationship is televised on national TV. Like you could talk about anything substantial to a national audience. Sure they ask if he’s ready to be a dad or how many kids she wants, but I feel like they don’t talk and feel as if they can’t talk about serious stuff couples should talk about.
A quick critic of the show itself. Most of the show is them talking about how they feel about the date. They never say anything important, it’s just a recap and say how nice it was and how sweet it is. Blah Blah blah. And the other part is kissing. Lots of kisses. Making out. I hate watching kissing scenes. With my mom. So that’s what you’re missing: recaps and kissing, it’s like a train wreck and I haven’t turned away.
Bachelorette drinking game: Their recaps and introductions are not unique either. So a possible drinking game is to drink every time someone says “I missed you.” “I’m excited to see you.” Or “I just love being with him.”
So I don’t recommend watching the Bachelorette unless you need to throw up or want a conversation topic with me.
I’m not going to pick a winner for you enthusiasts out there but I will give you my Mom’s prediction quote: “People normally go with their make out buddy and it never works out”
*I don’t know how many people start out and didn’t want to research it
