Meet The New British 'Bachelor'
Apparently, there are not enough good men right here in the good old US of A. "The Bachelor" has chosen their next victim for season twelve and he's a Brit. Matt Grant, a 6'5 brown haired, blue eyed business development manager from London, England will the show's first non-American Bachelor.
Wait a minute. Grant? Is he any relation to Hugh Grant? He looks kind of like him in his photo don't you think? Hugh only has one brother named James. I looked it up. So, no relation there. Plus, I'm sure Grant in England is kind of like Smith in the U.S.
This photo does not do him justice. He's much cuter than his cheesy smile and bad sweater portrays. U.S Viewers got their first glimpse of him when he was introduced on last night's "Dance War: Bruno vs.. Carrie Ann." I don't watch that show but curious as to who he was I grabbed my DirecTV remote and searched for the segment.
He's definitely sexy and the accent only amps it up even further. I can see the cat fights on this one are going to be massive. Of course, in the end whomever he chooses he will most likely break up with immediately after the show airs like 90 percent of the Bachelors have done.
Right now the show is one for eleven and even that union is questionable. The only couple that remain together are Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado. Well, at least I think they are still together considering the domestic dispute they recently got into. Neither has yet to say they have split though.
So, why is young Matt looking for love? According to an ABC press release he is the youngest of five brothers, the rest of whom are married. Here is my favorite part of the press release.
"His parents are still best friends and have a sexy relationship even after 30 years together."
Sexy relationship? Ewwww! I don't think anyone wants to think of their parents being in a "sexy" relationship!
I love to bash this show but we all know I'll be watching it when it returns on March 17th.
Hey Laura! When do you think that ABC will actually stop showing this ridiculous show?
I do not see what the big deal is about whether or not Abc will or will not continue to air the show.I have watched most of them, at first I was into it, because as most people I am a hopeless romantic, but little by little I became not so caught up in it, as I have with alot of other reality shows. I think if someone has a problem with the show then do not watch it, other people do love it, and look forward to it everytime, so what is the big deal, it is just a television show for petes sake, noone is forcing anyone to watch it.
