The Bachelor has taken the world by storm and this past Monday definitely showed how important the Bachelor was to society in that it took precedence over the Democratic Town Hall in Iowa, pending a major caucus. I am new to this phenomenon and I have only recently caught the last few episodes with my roommate who is Bachelor/Bachelorette fan. I must say, this show disappoints me. While I absolutely love it and it provides cheap entertainment, I am truly disheartened by just how desperate people are to find love in their early 20s and the lengths they are willing to go to achieve a husband/wife. Nevertheless, I have remained intrigued enough to form one of these lists of top-thoughts while watching the Bachelor for the first time… here it goes.
1. Roses are over rated. But ok, I’m in.
2. Wow. Ben is a hottie. What is wrong with him that he is on a show like this??
3. Seriously, twins? #leave
4. What kind of name is Lace? Can I change my name to Wool and then Ben will keep me around for three weeks? #worthit
5. Oh good. Lace left.
6. Just when I thought the crazy girl was gone, Olivia shows her true colors. Ughhhhh.
7. *Currently hiding under my blanket because this show is getting too awkward.*
8. Really want to see a close-up of Olivia’s toes.
9. Oh the Democratic debate is on? I have the Bachelor to watch so #pass.
10. This guy has literally flown these girls around in airplanes/helicopters the past two episodes. Who does he think he is? Christian Grey?
11. OMG WHAT IF BEN IS THE REAL-LIFE CHRISTIAN GREY! That would explain why he needs help in the dating department.
12. Becca is so pretty… I hate her.
13. Getting a girl a wedding dress to wear on a first date probably isn’t your smoothest move, but it’s Ben so he can do anything. #flawless
14. Do you think my talent of being able to eat an entire bag of Doritos would be attractive to Ben?
15. Why am I watching this?
16. Is it just me or does Ben kind of look like an awkward kisser?
17. Really praying that none of these girls have herpes because Ben has seriously made out with every girl on this show. #BachelorMansionHerpesOutbreak2016
18. This Chris guy should be the next Bachelor. He clearly can’t get enough. Hasn’t he been the host since like 2000?
19. Chris kind of ruins everyone’s days all the time.
20. The mom on this season is seriously hotter than I will ever be. #MomGoals
21. How did Ben keep all of these names straight? I wouldn’t have caught onto names for at least three weeks. He’s killin’ it.
22. I have literally spent the last two hours watching this? I can’t do this again.
23. *Sits down next week and turns on the Bachelor* — “Yaaaas Ben, yaaaas.”
Undoubtedly, Ben and all of the eligible ladies have captured my heart whether I like or or not.
