The Bachelor II Just watched the premier for The Bachelor on ABC. 1) The Bachelor they picked seems kind of like a goon. He has a feigned southern accent because he "wanted to stand out." They talk about how he's a successful businessmen, but he's the VP of the family bank. This is nepotistic success, the other guys seemed like they made it on their own. I guess they liked him for his "All American" sincerity, but from the clips they showed it looks like this guy used the show as an excuse to go on some major panty dropping expeditions. 2) The Bachelorettes. I'm making predictions already (in part informed by the clips you see of future episodes). Of the finalists, 3 will be blonde, and one will be brunette. If any of the non-white ones make it beyond round 1, it will be the Asian girl, this guy seems like a meat & potatoes big-boob-loving frat boy. Final Four: Suzanne will be the brunette, she's from California and a stewardess, so that'll be his exotic token. Kyla, a young blonde woman from Salt Lake. Good looking and probably the "conservative one" (she'll only let him tongue her). Christi, the spelling of the name is endearing (if she was ugly, it would be annoying you know), and she's got piercing blue eyes. Again, she's young. She's also in the financial sector, so he'll use that as an excuse as to why he's "making a connection" with her. Erin, she's a blonde from Texas. Texans do well on these catty shows. And since they both have southern accents, that's a good reason for him to keep her around, she'll make him feel less special. I think getting the evil-looking narcissist from California to be the bachelor would have been better. It would almost be like a social science experiment than, you take the reducto ad absurdum archetype of the egoistical male and throw him in a pond of desperate women. Like a piranha in a goldfish bowl. The meat-head bachelor they picked looks a bit like one of the untermensch that the narcissist would have devoured for breakfast. I'm really interested in seeing how The Bachelorette will do. It's going to be Kristin from the first show, and she's pretty hot, but she's never had an orgasm during sex. She's going to have to choose from 25 guys. Kind of sounds similar to the plot-line of a hard-core gangbang flick.... Outraged postscript: What the hell is the brown chick doing on this show?!?!?! It makes our women look like whores. Someone should ostracize her family. Aren't brown guys good enough for her!!! Some Patel or Kumar should step forward and bite the bullet and salvage our racial pride.
