Get To Know The New British 'Bachelor'
So, I was on a conference call with the new British Bachelor, Matt Grant, yesterday morning. I meant to write a blog about it immediately after I hung up yesterday but unfortunately I couldn't really understand half of what the guy was saying! It was partly due to his British accent and partly due to the fact that he was all the way in London and it was really hard to hear him. So, I had to wait for the transcript to arrive this morning.
I'm actually kind of glad I waited though because I tuned into last night's "The Bachelor: Where Are They Now" special which featured a long promo for this new season. From the looks of it 27-year-old Matt doesn't really seem all that interested in finding a wife. The promo made it seem like he was much more into partying it up with the girls despite his proclamation on the conference call that,
"I definitely found love."
He also definitely found one very aggressive lady who, it was revealed, slipped her thong into his pocket the night of the first meet and greet party.
"I was still in discussion with someone and she just tucked it into my pocket and a few minutes later, I sort of pulled it out and realized what it was. I was fully aware that wasn't you know standard sort of American ritual thankfully."
On this show nothing is standard American ritual.
"I think if you go by track records life can be pretty dull. Those previous guys weren't me. It didn't bother me in the slightest."
Well, if he does find lasting love (although I'd bet any amount of money this union will be kaput by summer) how will it work out geographically? Would his new lady have to move to England or would he move to the states?
"It takes two to tango doesn't it? Any country is great. Just need to discuss it with the other one."
Somehow I don't think that discussion will ever get the chance to come up. Sorry Matt, the odds are stacked against you even if all those other Bachelors "weren't you."
I think you so cute please email me
