Love At First Sight...Sort Of

I have yet to cover this subject matter because I was a little embarrassed to admit that I watch the show, but I can’t go on any longer. The Bachelor has become part of my Hulu queue. I’ve never watched The Bachelor or The Bachelorette before, but there was something about this season that caught my eye. Jake is the bachelor this time around and he is a guy from Texas who flies commercial planes for a living. I’m not going to lie, he’s pretty cute, but he’s too shy and timid for me. He likes the outdoors and riding his motorcycle, but being from Texas is a turn off for me right there. Anyway, Jake was on the last season of The Bachelorette and he was sent home and was completely heartbroken so they decided to make him the bachelor this season. Aw, so cute. Bleh.

How in the world are you supposed to fall in love with someone after only knowing them for a couple of weeks? Jake keeps saying that after the show he is going to ask the girl he picks to marry him. How? How is that even possible? This show definitely runs on love at first sight. The women that Jake can choose from are all different types of women. I’m not sure how accurate their job titles are when they show their name cards on the bottom of the screen each time one of the girls talks, but there are a few models, there was an accountant at one point, a restaurant manager at one point, etc. The majority of the girls are blonde with a few brunettes. Slim pickings really.

I have to say my favorite part of the season thus far was when one of the super model chicks was kicked off the show for sleeping with the producer of the show. How awesome is that? Jake was all emotional and needed some time away from the girls to think about what had happened. I knew she was trouble from the second she walked on the set. A lot of the girls are actually. Of course there is always a crazy girl who does weird stuff and cries all the time, like this one girl, Michelle. She was finally sent home and I'm not sure what took Jake so long to send her home. She would cry every time she got to see him and she was just insane.

The one cool part of this show is that it’s filmed in California so when they set up dates for Jake to take the girls on, I get to see a lot of cool places. He drove them up PCH and they all saw the coast, which I have seen and it’s gorgeous. He also took them to Big Sir and a vineyard somewhere. Makes me want to find these places and go. California is very gorgeous when you get out of the city. So make fun of me all you want, but I know if you sat down and watched, you would be intrigued as well.

I think Jake is going to pick her:

She is very much his type and his focus tends to be on her. If he doesn't pick her, I will be very surprised.
