Ladies and Gentlemen, today is Monday. An early summer Monday. That means one thing- It Is Bachelorette Day! For some unholy reason, I look very very much forward to Bachelorette day. Please suppress your groans. The annual My TV Bachelor Scale is one of my favourite articles of the year. Sure, the Award Nominee Interview […]

Whether you love or hate Courtney from this season of The Bachelor (love because she’s hilarious and undermines the absurdity of the whole cheesy concept; hate because she’s frosty at best, evil at worst), this video is sheer genius. With the lovely chorus of taunting “I got the ro-ose” and feature commentary from a puppet-mouthed […]

 

Let’s start with the man himself. Ben was far from my favourite on Ashley’s season of The Bachelorette. He wasn’t my least favourite by a longshot but, in the shadow of JP, his slightly awkward long-haired dopey guy thing seemed awkward and dopey instead of sweet. So you take a guy I like okay and […]

Thank You Constantine
 

My Dearest Constantine, A few weeks back, when I made my bachelor scale, you ranked in the top 3 even though you’d had almost no screen time. But the scale is a measure of MY favourites, not who should be with Ashley (as evidenced by Ben being quite far down the list when he was […]

So when the casting for the second season was announced this week, I was shamefully excited. They went for the occasional dramatic but boring pick (obnoxious Melissa from Brad’s season) and a couple people […]

 

It’s that time again, when the season of The Bachelorette is just starting to get good and I’m starting to get jealous and fall for a ridiculous band of reality TV stars and their manufactured romance. So, in keeping with a tradition 3 years running, I present to you this year’s Bachelor Scale. Now, the […]

This was a big year for the Bachelor people. It kicked off with Jake’s controversial and super-cheesy season The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love (‘nough said). A fan favourite from Gillian’s Bachelorette season, I will admit that even I liked Jake going in. But the more I got to know him, the more annoying […]

Ballad of a Weak-Willed Victim of Manipulation

I’m too smart for Bachelor Pad (we all are). Why am I not watching Mad Men? Alas, I do not like Mad Men, but I sort of enjoyed Bachelor Pad. I mean, I enjoyed it whenever I didn’t hate it. (Even in its worst moments I generally don’t hate The Bachelor– but Bachelor Pad, yes, […]
