As a part of my Monday marathon of ABC programming, I tuned into The Bachelor tonight for the first time in years. YEARS. I noticed that it's the exact same set up as it was the first season, except for one thing. The previews.
There is footage of a girl in a white dress, weeping her soul out. Just one of those all-out, snotty nose, puffy eye, red-faced cries that you never want anyone to see. Yet, this poor girl has her meltdown being broadcast across the country. To add insult to injury, the announcer says at the end of the commercial, "Tune in for one of the most dramatic exits in Bachelor history...You don't want to miss this!!"
I'm hoping for the world's sake that there's going to end up being some twist, like that her cat died or something. Or maybe it turns out that she's a big whore who should be kicked off anyway to preserve the show's "integrity." I don't know...I guess that's too hopeful. I just think it's sick that their marketing strategy is to exploit this girl's heartbreak.
The even sicker thing: I'm actually watching it to see what happens. [Insert shameful head shake here.]
