The Bachelor Party.........

This post might get a rise out of some people ....it might amuse some ...it might PISS some off but here goes ....

On television there is a little show called The Bachelor. For those of you who have been living under a bridge with trolls scarying off billy goats here is the premise : A guy is picked from somewhere in the world(the show went international this year with the Bachlor being British),he is handsome,articulate,has pretty good teeth, is good at sailing and horseback riding,can handle his alcohol, comes from a good stable family and did i mention he is typically flush with cash ! A bevy of women are chosen from different backgrounds from around the USA. They are placed in a very nice house and given the task of making this guy fall in love with them in a matter of weeks. Usually the women determine,within minutes that this is the guy for them,they love him with all their hearts and all that is within their soul . How could they possibly go home to live a life without THEIR Bachelor on their arm.

Excuse me ....BLECH !!!!

I have never, until tonight , watched an entire episode of this show. It could possibly be my last episode .

The Bachelor wines and dines these ladies and then will take one off for a few minutes while the others watch through windows and wonder if he will kiss her. They get pissed when he does kiss one and not another. They sit and wonder what they are doing on the show .....why did they audition ....they say there were not prepared for what is happening!?!?!?!!? WHAT ? This is the 8th or 9th season of this show and you are telling me that they are not prepared for what is going to happen??

In the entire time that this show has been on television only one couple has gone all the way and gotten married,had children and made a family out of what happened on the show.

Last season ended with the guy not picking either of the final two girls......and he was CRUCIFIED for his decision. How could he not pick a girl and tell the world that he loves her on national television,give her a ring that costs that some people make in a year, ask her to get married and then a few months later let ABC release a statement saying that the latest Bachelor and the "love" of his life have parted ways.

He was crushed in the media because he led these women along ....played with their emotions....

But was anything said about him being honest on the matter of asking a women to marry him... that he did not feel strongly enough about either women to commit the rest of life with them ....NO !!

And lets not forget how ABC was on the matter ...they said NOTHING!!

Ellen called him a jerk on her show .....then had him on to let him have his 7 minutes so he could explain himself. He did not need 7 minutes....HE DID NOT LOVE HER !!

This show is a ratings darling. Millions of people turn in each week to watch and see who is going home ...

I know true love can happen ....and it can happen in a very short period of time. My best friends found each other and were engaged within in weeks of meeting...They are happily married now ...I have see it happen with my own eyes....but they did it without the pressure of dozens of other women fighting for attention and sound crews running cables to the sound room down the hall.

Anyway ...

I would rather watch LOST and see what fictional characters get off a fictional island in a fictional world.

Hell ....I would rather watch Gilligan's Island for that matter !!

This ends my rant.

Good night
