I have been watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette series since the very first show. Yes, I even watched Trista and Ryan's wedding. I guess what I love about it is the romance and the fairytale ending (yes, I do realize this is complete crap). Well, my love affair was forced to come to a screeching halt. This is the first season I am not watching the show. Painful as it is, here's why....
After a show last season I was giving some attitude to Eric and he said, "why are you so cranky?"
"I don't know. I'm not," I lied. Knowing full well what had made me so cranky. He was having a hard time measuring up to the bachelors on the show. I mean, what was I doing with a Pharmacist? I should be married to a professional baseball player like Roberto? As a matter of fact, why did I marry a Caucasian, a Latino would've been much better. I need someone who can take me horseback riding on the beach and fly me in a helicopter overlooking the most beautiful landscapes! Someone who will punch another guy out for me one day and write songs about me the next.
I think you get my drift.
My sisters and I would all call each other after the show and chat about the idiots and the heartthrobs. Oh the drama! How I miss it! I called my sister Ann after one episode and she said at one point she looked over at her husband - who was dressed in red shorts, a purple cutoff shirt, and black dress socks - and became immediately angry. We had a good laugh over this but both decided it would be best for our marriages if we boycotted. So, boycotting I am....Is it pathetic that I miss it so much?
So goodbye Bachelor, my frenemy, and in the words of the oh-so-quotable Lady Gaga:
~ "Don't call my name, don't call my name.....Roberto."

I quit watching because the bachelors made me so angry. They ALWAYS chose the WRONG GIRL! I wanted to smack them into reality, but how much is reality when you're on a show like that? I confess, I too watched Trista and Ryan get married. I also watched an interview with them after they had their first child. I love her. SHE new what she was doing. ha!
