My other guilty pleasure

As if my daily Starbucks wasn’t enough, the other guilty pleasure I can’t live without is ABC’s The Bachelor. It’s decidedly less expensive than my Starbucks habit but equally as indulgent, especially when some of the bachelorettes turn out to be real crazies.

If you didn’t know, last night was the premiere of the newest season of The Bachelor, featuring heartthrob Jason who was dumped at the altar – literally as he was down on one knee – by DeAnna Pappas in the previous season.

Jason seems like quite the catch (at least the TV persona we see) and I would be all over that if he lived in Texas or California. I mean, look at that picture…

Sorry, got a little distracted there. Anyway, the premise is Jason meets 25 ladies and after a series of dates he narrows it down to one who presumably will become his bride. I say presumably because ABC’s proposal-to-wedding ratio is not that impressive and as of writing this blog, only one couple has made it to the altar.

Which is not too surprising considering some of the women ABC has unearthed over the years – psycho stalkers, drunkards, a girl who constantly wore a tiara and listed her profession as “socialite,” etc.  In Jason’s case, though, I think there are a few women who might actually be normal.

For the record, I’m listing my top 3 choices so that when he finally proposes (word on the street is he’s engaged) I can look back and say I told you so…or more likely, admit I have no idea what guys are thinking when it comes to relationships.

Nikki, 29 years old, administrative assistant

Jillian, 29 years old, interior designer

Lauren, 27 years old, teacher

Apparently we’re also in for a twist since the previews for next week show the evil-incarnate DeAnna, the one who left him at the altar, coming back to say she made a mistake and ask for another chance. What?!?  Sorry, you only get one chance to break my Jason’s heart…

P.S. It’s times like these I’m glad this blog is anonymous :-)
