the bachelorette

i've been too busy writing about jem, i almost forgot to write about the new season of the bachelorette that started this week. this season, instead of a nice sprawling house in the general la area, they decided to go to new york. this should prove to be amusing as the boys all get clastrophobic in their NY loft with bad weather.

This season they let the bachelorette watch the casting interviews and she got to choose the boys who would be vying for her affection. they of course, don't know it. this was the greatest twist ever. i want to be the bachelorette so bad. that sounds like an awfully fun way to pass the day: sitting in a comfy room with producers and friends and judging the boys on tv, sometimes feeding the interviewers questions. So, i've started thinking that working at a video dating service would be fun. Do those things still exist? Also, I'd really love to be bachelorette. Everyone on tv always says choosing people to leave is the hardest part. That would be the most fun part for me (besides the part where they let you try on ball gowns and give you one for free)! you're good enough, you're not and definitely not you...

even with the bachelorette's pre-screening the group of 25 guys, as always, was attractive yet uninspiring. there was the small town kentucky drunk, the lecherous frenchman, the guy who hit on the bachelorette's friend who was disguesed as a waiter and two 20 something yr old virgins who love talking about the fact that they haven't had sex. Off the bat i could tell the bachelorette did not make very good choices. i wish all women on tv didn't have to make awful choices.

Both of the virgins said something like "the greatest gift i can give my wife is my virginity" i can think of something better, how about a little experience so you don't fuck up the wedding night, or better yet how about a giant diamond that 30 african mine children lost their life to retrieve. Virgins (the too old to be virgins, on purpose kind) are the new vegans. Not only do they abstain from things that regular people find to be normal, they bitch, whine, moan and generally see themselves as better than you. Thankfully they haven't started protesting in front on neiman marcus or throwing red paint at condoms, or something. Or maybe they are organized, and are the ones turning sex ed into abstinance ed. (wow, i don't know where that came from)

I'll probably watch again next week, then i'll decide if the cast is good enough to keep watching, because school starts again soon, and i'll have much less time for mediocre entertainment
