have you happened to catch "the bachelor" on abc? i've watched snippets here and there. just another reality show that is so absurd it's hard to avert ones eyes. my favorite part is when the bachelor has to ditch one of the girls and they cry and cry and cry like it was some 5 year relationship and they have a dog together or something.
he's down to two now. tonight is the finale. frankly, he's not all that good-looking. he's a bit cro-magnum. the last episode was "overnight dates" and he took amanda to nyc. they stayed at the "w" and right before the camera shut off he was ordering "sex between the sheets" which is delivered by room service and includes chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream and - ready? - A PLASTIC SHEET!
one thing (as if i can break it down to ONE THING) that makes it all so stupid is that real dating isn't about all these awesome dinner dates in nyc and aspen and spas all paid for by a network. when he chooses his gal, they'll going to go back to their normal tater tot lives and be like "hmmm - this isn't as fun as it was on tv" and be done with it. as i understand it, he will propose to one of them but they don't have to say yes. or maybe they have to say yes but the don't have to get married. or maybe they have to get married and give they're first kid to abc and then they'll do a real live "truman show" with it.
