Never seen it show review: the bachelor

I'm not a TV watcher.  Mostly because we don't have a TV.  But also because I think lots of time  and money is wasted as its hand.  But curiosity got the best of me.  

My hope in this experience more than realizing how right all those comments and posts were about some girl having serious issues, is figuring out why in the WORLD people get so into a show that quite honestly reminds me of this book.

these are my thoughts as the episode progressed (and please do not be offended by my thoughts...remember I was an avid watcher of LOST.  hopefully that says it all.)

here goes.

1. Brad is awkward.  Was he a bachelorette loser?
2. really?  I thought for sure these girls just wanted to win.  Its really about love?  Have they ever seen the show?  I haven't, but I know the statistics are not in your favor, ladies.
3. I don't think you have a better chance to find a normal relationship after a divorce on national television fighting over one guy who is hooking up with every other girl "he really cares about" at the same time he "really cares about" you?   I'd take eharmony.
4. This whole premise is so bizarre.
5. I wonder if Ky and Jen’s experience in Costa Rica was more or less dramatic (and cheesy).
6. So is this what happens?  we watch the whole date?  hopefully they cut a lot out because the small talk/ awkward flirting is KILLING me. (plus it reminds me of the time my roommates hid behind a bush and listened to my small talk/flirting.  I’ll never live that down.  ever.)
7. they must not show all the interesting stuff about Brad on the show....that must be the behind the scenes stuff.
8. yikes.  taking a break.  I feel like I’ve been sitting here forever.
9. walnuts make everything better.  I took another break and made a KILLER chicken salad sandwich and threw a cookie in the oven.
10. took another break to watch Ryan Gosling on Ellen.  stationary bicycles and onesies. now THAT’s entertainment.
11. oh, I get it.  the whole purpose is to just make fun of everyone else and explain how much less psycho/better you would be for him.
12.   so these people just up and leave their jobs to be on the show?
13. have any girls said no to the rose?  that would be awesome.
14. you’re “pissed”?  never would have guessed by those crustacious looks you are giving everyone.  I love how they state the obvious on this show.  “it’s raining!”  yes, you’re in Costa Rica.
15. really?  a pact to never repel with anyone else?  that’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard.
16. lots of kissing going on here.
17. horses.  best part of the episode so far.
18. every kind of awkward.
19. silent game?  seriously, you didn’t see that coming? hmm...backfire. well, or it was just a really awkward way to get exactly what you wanted.
20. these girls are all very pretty.
21. okay, Brad is cute.  awkward, but cute.
22. oh geez.  the staredown.  I feel like I’m watching a soap opera.  except instead of wondering  which one killed the the witches midget, they are all wondering who they need to kill to get that rose.
23. you know he’s going to keep Michelle, there's no way the network will let her go yet.  She's where the action is.
24. boo-yeah.  can I call it or what.
25. Jackie looks just like the girl in Dirty Dancing! (pre nose job)
26. okay, entertaining?  yes.   but absolutely one episode is all I can take.  In total, it took me 6 hours to try and watch this two-part show.  

That's all folks.  tune in next week for another never been seen before show review.


in other news, my friend came by last Friday and needed help with a music video.  check. it. out.  I can't stop laughing.
