Why do I love it? The show is so cringe-worthy, that it's like watching a fucking train wreck happen right before your very eyes. You fit twenty-five desperate women in a room, and it's bound to get a little nutty. This season, they bring back Jake, the desperate male contestant from last season's Bachelorette. He's the guy, if you remember, who broke the "bro code" and let sweet little Jillian know her douche-bag pick for a guy actually had a girlfriend back home. Jake comes to this season, searching for love and is convinced that the girl he is going to marry is amongst the girls who all want to feel his six-pack.
So, let's talk about crazy here. Let's get really real about the crazy that goes on.
#1 I would like for you to look at specimen a., Michelle. Notice that she got a rose, because most likely, the producers are like, hey, we need to keep this nanners chick on the show for ratings. And yes, I was grateful they stepped in. I love watching crazy. She's in love with Jake, and feels that they are meant for each other, like in the way where you have a replica doll made of him and stroke his soft sweet hair every night before you fall asleep and give him milk and cookies and tell him he looks so pretty in his uniform. Errrrr, wait, next topic.
#2 You can't put women together and have them compete for a man without there being blood spilled at some point. Women are just nutsy. Women can get quite insane. I think it's evolutionary or something. It's like their ovaries are telling them they must lock down on this one man to save human kind, and it's only their eggs matched with this one dude's sperm that will save the planet. Girls will fight till the death over one guy, and even if they really aren't that into him. I don't get it.
#3 All seem to have this insane idea about love. This idea that this person and only this person, Jake, is going to fill something that is missing in them, like a soul. It's delusional. I would like to play a drinking game to how many times I heard, "I know he can make me happy". Hey, oh, heeeeeeyyyy low self esteem, I didn't really notice you there waving your hands so violently in the air. People can't fill that little empty place in your heart that your Daddy created, if that were true, there would be no strippers in this world. Story checks out.
So, ya, I love this show. It's like watching the most amazing social experiment. It's full of delusional ideas about love. It's full of drop dead gorgeous girls who end up turning on each other (as opposed to the Bachelorette where the dudes establish a bond with each other). It's a time where I get to yell at the TV every 5 seconds saying, "please don't say that, why did you say that, stop it, never say that to anyone, ever".
