The Bachelor- My Reactions

Before this past January, I have only watched one season of "The Bachelor." It was the Jen and Andrew Firestone season. (I am still bummed they didn't work out, but not surprised).

It all changed in January though. My friend, Rachel, came over one Monday and got me hooked. I just couldn't resist- especially when they showed Deanna coming back on to say "I made a mistake." WHAT?!?! my curiosity went. And I was hooked on it- trash and all.

Now, before I write my response... just know this. I don't really think any couples from this show are expected to last. WHY? Because the whole show is just unreal. It takes what is a hard process (getting to one another) and puts it in a pressure cooker and then adds jealousy to the mix. Just doesn't equal good things for the future of the relationship. Trista and Ryan (the only couple to make it down the aisle) seem to have good heads on their shoulders, and I do hope they last forever. But, they seem to have the most healthy approach to why they went on the show and talk about how hard it is to make the relationship last. Most people go on the show, in my opinion, to use it to get booty (sorry, don't know how else to say it) and to get their 15 minutes of fame.

Back to this season- so I wanted Jason to pick Melissa. True to what the girls said on "After the Rose Ceremony Part II", Melissa was America's Sweetheart. I loved her and I honestly thought that she would be good for Jason (from what little I could observe). So when he picked her I was stoked...

And then he had to go dump her on national television. Jackass. Excuse the language but that was my honest opinion. Of course now that it has been a week since then, I am learning more and more about Melissa and Jason has at least talked about the relationship ending. But still- it was a class-less move.

If he really had doubts, why did he ask in the first place? If Molly's true show of emotion after her dumped her the first time hit him so hard, why didn't he take a step back and just say 'I choose you.' You don't have to get down on one knee. AND then to top it all off, he cries when he lets Melissa go but then is all ok with kissing Molly soon after dumping his fiance? Seems to me that this man doesn't know what he wants and can turn off his emotions pretty quickly.

Maybe they will work out, and part of me wants them to (watching the second "After the Rose Ceremony" I can see they do have chemistry), but I am still mad. He hurt Melissa and wasn't honest with anyone. Not to mention, he is dragging the Ty (his son) through all of this.

I do have to say- Naomi on Part II- man, I was loving her. Go Girl! She said it like it was. She went up a couple of notches in my book.

Ok- enough on that show. Hopefully I won't ever get addicted to another season of "The Bachelor." We'll see...

What is your guilty pleasure?
