I was not a fan of Ali Fedotowsky when she appeared on The Bachelor. I thought she was a “mean girl” and while I was not particularly fond of Vienna, I found Ali’s behavior towards her really unflattering and borderline cruel. So why am I watching The Bachelorette, you ask? Because it’s on. Because I [...]

It has been a while since I’ve unloaded on the Internet and well, I have some questions. Do some drivers really believe that if they pretend to have no peripheral vision they are excused from letting other cars into their lane? A message to said drivers: Just because you act as though you can’ t see [...]

So my People Magazine arrived last week. You know, the one with the “new improved” celebrity wannabe Heidi Montag on it. I promptly wrote a long scathing post expressing my dismay at her insecurities, her surgeries and how sad and pathetic it all was. I am not going to publish it because in rereading said [...]

I’m doing it again. I can’t believe it. I am officially pathetic. I am watching The Bachelor. I apparently had a lobotomy at some point since the last season.

In the most selfish and ill-conceived rose ceremony in Bachelor history, Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa. This is the same guy we were all sorry for last season when he got down on [...]

I don’t mean to keep writing about The Bachelor, but then again I don’t really mean to keep watching The Bachelor. I just can’t help myself. Besides what with all the gloom and doom and layoffs and bailouts, reality television may be just what the doctor ordered. Also I seem to have been on a [...]

I don’t have penis envy, but watching The Bachelor makes me want to change teams. Watching the way these women behave makes me embarrassed to be part of their club. When asked how he approached his experience on The Bachelorette, the current bachelor Jason said that he wanted to have as much fun as he [...]

As we gear up for another season of The Bachelor, I stop to wonder why we keep watching? Bob gripes at the beginning of each new run that the guy never gets married. He has a point. Heck, half the time they don’t even get engaged. That doesn’t deter us from enjoying the antics of [...]
