I Need A 'Bachelor' Intervention!
I'm having a small mental meltdown this morning after frying my brain cells while staying up to watch "The Bachelor: London Calling." Why am I still watching this show? I think I need an intervention. For some reason, I can't look away. It's train wreck TV, at its best.
Last night was the hometown dates with the final four. Bachelor Matt gets a chance to meet the families of each of the women he is still interested in: Shayne, Amanda, Noelle and Chelsea. I bought into all those promos last week hyping the fact that bachelorette candidate, Amanda's, mother was going to pull a full on cougar on Matt Grant and pounce. At one point they show her rubbing his chest and then actually going in for a kiss - just as her husband walks out and catches them in the act! Now this was reality TV at its juiciest, the type of stuff a producer dreams about while taping. I couldn't wait to see it. You can't make this stuff up.
Except, apparently, you can because it was all BS!!!!!!! Amanda had hired actors to pretend they were her parents and have his mom hit on Matt. The ridiculous shenanigans were revealed last night. Amanda (Oh, and let's really be honest… we know the producers made her do it) wanted to play a trick on Matt because he told her he loves pranks. The whole thing was BOGUS! I'm pissed. How dare they toy with my delicate emotions!
On a bright note, bachelorette Shayne got outed by her actor father Lorenzo Llamas for the fact that she just did the show because she wants to be famous. A brilliant & touching Hollywood father-daughter moment that had me cheering. Of course, Shayne downplayed this by telling Matt she was truly there for him and if it were anybody else she would have left already. Whatever!
It was revealed last night that Matt would propose to someone in the finale. I fear that it's actually Shayne based solely on the fact that he is obsessed with her - despite her ridiculously high maintenance persona. Frat boys and Hollywood rich kids do not mesh. And Shayne is the only one who wears light pink nail polish (out of the final three) and there is a shot of him down on his knee holding someone’s hand who has light pink nail polish on. Chris Harrison promises us it’s the "Most Romantic Proposal Ever!" I think whoever writes these "most ever" Bachelor promos should be tossed in jail for false advertising or a bait and switch scam.
So, if anyone can please help me turn the television off when this show comes on, I would appreciate it.
I can't stop watching either!
I totally think it will be Malibu barbie too, and the engagement will last about 2 weeks, or at least until the press tour is over...
No way to shut it off Laura. It has had us hooked since it first started. Lots of drama from dippy girls.
