Pitiful. Pit-i-ful. P.I.T.I.F.U.L. Ugh!

Some kind of way I got sucked into watching "The Bachelor" and the thing is, I ENJOYED it.

I consider myself a strong woman. Empowered. High self-esteem. So, the whole notion of 25 women flying thousands of miles to all live in one house together, begging some strange guy that they have never met before to please, PLEASE, PLEEEEZZZ give me freaking flower so I can feel good about myself is, well, it's just a foreign concept to me.

But there I was, curled up in front of the television wondering, wagering who it was gonna be. Which gal would get the rose and Jason's proposal?

So, this morning on a conference call, "The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss was asked by someone if the show is set up to hurt people. I think his response to this question says everything we need to know about this show.

"It's set up to help people find each other," Fleiss began to explain.

Then the zinger.

Sad. Just sad - Yet brilliantly, fantastic, pathetic, horrifying TV. That is what I have to say about this "Bachelor" train wreck. At first, I thought maybe I would long for the days of when "the happy couple" (as ABC likes to call them) would pretend they were still together and then "break up" a few months after the finale aired and we would read about it in a magazine. This, however, is even better. C'mon... you have to admit it's good television. We have all gone through breakups and they sure do seem to go a lot like this one.

The fact that Jason and Melissa would allow anyone to film their breakup on national television is beyond ridiculous but yet when have we seen something so genuine out of this show ever? Melissa sitting their all pissed off not looking at him. Jason looking like a sad, guilty puppy. Been there. Done that.

My favorite moment besides when Melissa called him a "bastard" was when she told Jason, "Don't call me. Don't text me anymore. Leave me alone please."  Who in a breakup hasn't said words like that?
