Last night, I wasted THREE hours of my life. THREE hours that I can never get back. THREE hours that should have been spent on something important like waxing my upper lip (not that this would have taken three hours, but it desperately needs to be done).
Instead, I spent THREE hours watching The Bachelor. Two weeks ago, my mother-in-law was visiting and, as a devoted Bachelor fan, didn’t want to miss the fantasy date episode. Trav and I had not watched a single episode this season, but wanted to be good hosts and therefore, watched with her.
I’m now convinced that ABC transports some sort of addictive substance through the T.V. screen because, after one episode, I just had to see who Jason chose in the end. I somehow wrangled control of the remote from Trav and proceeded to watch a train-wreck right before my eyes.
I watched enough of the previous season of The Bachelor to know that the world thought Jason was the perfect guy.
What kind of “perfect guy” breaks up with his poor fiance on national television??? Unbelievable!
And then for him to immediately go back to Molly? Geez, Louise. The entire thing was absurd.
One thing I found laughable was the amount of tears this guy produced during the show. Don’t get me wrong, I can totally appreciate a guy that’s not afraid to show his emotions. But there comes a time and place where you need to man up and hold yourself together…especially when you’re the one causing the drama.
I think it’s hilarious they now have to air a second ”After The Final Rose” episode. I’m predicting that Jason will dump Molly and make out with Deanna. Anybody want to put some money on it???

I gave up watching the Bachelor after the season where Jen Schefft didn’t choose either guy. I felt the exact same way! I wanted the last three hours of my life back!
It’s addictive though! Tell the truth, a small part of you wants to watch the second “After the Final Rose” episode, right? It’s like a train wreck, you just can’t look away… :)

Well, being the devoted fan I am, I knew this was coming. I had heard mention of spoilers on the internet and, you know how much time I spend on the computer (it’s my job, afterall), and I just couldn’t help myself…..I peeked at the spoilers ahead of time. Darned spoilers turned out to be right, but I still couldn’t believe it when I watched it. Unbelievable! Who does that??? Sad thing is…..I will be watching the 2nd after the rose ceremony tonight. Guess I just have to see it to the end. PS…Sorry I got you started this season – I should have just waited and watched the Tevo’d version when I got home. I somehow feel responsible for your wasted 3 hours! Look at it this way, I saved you from the pain of waxing your upper lip last night ;)
