Disappointed

After deciding I was going to watch this season of The Bachelor I turned it on tonight, but late (T wouldn't stop asking for hugs and kisses - sweet and cute, I know, but I JUST WANTED TO WATCH TV) to see who the guy was, hoping to catch up.  But upon seeing Ben Flajnik, I realized I would never be able to get hooked.  I know reality TV is fake, but I don't think I could ever get past wondering at every moment of the show WHY any woman would want to date this man (boy? woman?) other than for fame or money.  There's no way I'd be able to watch women cry over him without wanting to slap them in the face.  His Bio on ABC says he's 28, but I'm pretty sure he was one of my students a few years back. 

Admittedly, I have not watched the past several seasons, mostly because I just didn't have the attention span.  But now having (mostly) recovered from the first year of G's life, which left me too drained to enjoy shitty tv, I was really hoping for some quality crap.  Come on, ABC! If someone is dumped at the alter last season, can't we assume there was a reason (maybe, looking like a 17 year old?) and find someone new and attractive to showcase?!

I guess I'll go fold laundry.
