The Bachelor - Season Premiere

Of course we have to start the season with re-living the sad ending for Ben in last season’s episode of the Bachelorette.  And then we have to see a 15 minute opening of how deserving Ben is to have a woman to spend the rest of his life with.  Boo freaking hoo.  Being single doesn’t totally suck, dude…now, lets meet the skanks.

 

Rachel pulls Ben aside first – first one out the limo, first lioness to attack the prey.  Tells Ben that she left her job to go on the Bachelor – what an idiot.  Granted, she was a fashion sales representative.

Nicki and Ben sit down to talk, and before they even get into the conversation I know what’s about to happen…but it doesn’t.  I totally thought she was going to tell him about being divorced.

Lindzi has a great personality – even with the dramatic entrance, she’s a down to earth gal.

Brittney and her Gammy sit down to talk to Ben for a minute then Gammy and her crutches get escorted out to the limo by Ben.  Seriously these girls trying for this first impression rose with the sashes, hats, horses and grandmothers is getting a little ridiculous.  I love it.

Enter Chris Harrison with the first impression rose and now let the games begin.  Oh, and now we have a soccer ball.  Blakeley apparently should be with Casey from the Bachelorette…they have matching tattoos about love and hearts and stupid crap.  Line dancing, push ups, blindfolds oh my!

Emily the PhD student is apparently also a gangsta rapper.  Ben goes with it…and I love that about him!  She wasn’t too terrible either.

Jenna is bat shit crazy.  Period.  She’s so concerned about other girls having feelings for Ben and gets into it with Monica.  Let the games begin…gotta have some drama!  Oh, but it gets worse, apparently Monica is in love with Blakeley…like in a wanna make out with her love.  Oh man.

Jenna is the token drunk.  There’s one in every season…open bar gets to some more than others.  Rachel tries to smooth things over and brings Monica over to Jenna to bury the hatchet.  This is by far the stupidest argument in the history of The Bachelor.  And now Jenna is crying and babbling.  This girl has to go.

First impression rose goes to Lindzi!

At the rose ceremony, Ben sends Lyndsie the Brit, Amber Bacon, Amber the Tomboy (dammit), and some other girls.  I wasn’t paying attention – could be the sleepy time tea kicking in.

This season should be good!  I wasn’t really a Ben fan last season of The Bachelorette – I loved JP, but Ben does have a good personality.  Just not a fan of a dude using more hair products than me.

Til next Monday, cheers y’all!
