Junk Food

While the kids are snug and asleep I escape to the comfort of my couch, go to hulu.com, and enjoy a new guilty pleasure... The Bachelor.


Why can't I stop watching this garbage?

The drama between the girls... Oh Ali, lay off the Vienna thing already

The cheesy face-wide grins from Jake, especially when he does it to mask an awkward moment (a.k.a. all his interactions with Michelle)

The outifts the girls choose to wear... oh heck no, Vienna, you do not shop at Wet Seal! And let's just say the Honor Code would have a field day with Gia...

The sappy lines, especially anything with an aviation theme, "cloud nine", "head in the clouds", etc. Not to mention all the creepy, "I'm here for Jake" lines in the beginning. Come on people, falling in love in a week only happens at BYU.

The "oh-no-he-didn't!" moments when Jake chooses the dumbest girls

Seriously, Jake? Tenley is so fake and sweet she gives me cavities, Gia is a big-time skank (you'd never work with a New Yorker, Jake... just watch Jersey Shore and trust me), Ali is the only one who appears semi-normal but she was born with an extra gossip bone (and what normal person wants to go on reality Tv?), and then there's Vienna.... Don't get me started on her. I bet she doesn't even know where Vienna is. She looks like a drag queen, and her hair is so deep-fried it's a fire-hazard. She does the spoiled little girl routine, and apparently he goes for that? Oh man. It makes me wish I was single just so I could go on the show and be a normal person!!

Another thing that bothers me- all the kissing. He kisses everyone! Hello, mono anyone? And how have they all stayed away from the swine flu?

Last week's episode in San Francisco was interesting, to say the least. Trolley ride, Chinatown, Koit Tower? That's not the real SF. Give me the gay bars, smelly piers, bad traffic, and Alcatraz please! Or at least the sea lions, right? Everything looks better on Tv.

I should stop watching, right?

This made me laugh!

You crack me up. Out of all of them, I definitely want Ali to win. Vienna drives me nuts. I think they've kept her on there for the drama. Most likely.

Can't wait for the home visits.

Paige, you crack me up. First you say, "what normal person wants to go on reality Tv?" and then you say "It makes me wish I was single just so I could go on the show and be a normal person!!" Ist moeglich?

This is so funny b/c Darc made me watch it (the night after you were saying how you don't like chick flicks so wouldn't be up for "Valentine's Day") and I couldn't help think how ridiculous you must think it is...Paige! You let me down.

Hahaha I'm addicted to the Bachelor too. Watching it makes me so happy that I'm already married and in love. Drama major! Vienna is crazy! Gia never wears anything that fits her. I like Ali but she is too wrapped up around Vienna. Tenley is super cute but way bubbly. How is she always happy?

I can't believe Rachel Barton watches this show. That makes her ten times cooler.

I just saw this post today! HAH love it. I like Tenley but Jake was a real idiot for kicking Corrie off. She was the most normal it seemed of everyone.

This show really can't get any better. Karyna needs to realize her life would be better if she watched it lol.

You are sooo funny! I had to read this post to my husband. That’s hilarious.

Dear Paige,

I'm sending you some good books for those quiet evenings!

Love you even when you're shallow,
Mom

PS. After Mackenzie read your blog, she went in her room, shut the door, and watched the last Bachelor episode online. Older sister influence.
