ABC Presents The Bachelor 2007

When The Bachelor first aired a few years ago it never occurred to me to watch it since I thought the whole premise was ridiculous, but then, I read of a new season that was to take place in Paris and being the Francophile that I am I decided I just had to watch, if only to see the scenery. But then I got hooked...It was the most ridiculous show with the strangest and insane premise...so what was it that held my interest? Those absolutely inane women who competed for the man himself...they were just incredible, the things they did and said, especially after having too much to drink...it was mindless entertainment for me. Then came the Bachelor in Rome another show to watch if only for the luscious eye candy in the background.

Last year, I wasn't going to watch the "Officer is a Gentlemen" show but curiosity got the best of me and I did tune in...What a weird group of 25 women were there hoping to be the one he would pick...His goal, he said, was to find the women of his dreams to marry...well, after all the "dates" with each one, the roses given out to the lucky ones during the eliminations, the meeting of the parents, he decided on the one lady even I thought was a bit special, Her name was Tessa.. He proposed, "She is everything he was looking for" they got engaged on the last episode, did all the TV Circuit tours and were on there way to living happily ever after...But wait! I just read they broke up in August...so that's was the end of that fairy tale romance.

This years show, which started tonight, promises to be more of the same, Brad, the new Bachelor is being touted as the "Sexiest bachelor ever" according to ABC....He is a handsome devil I must agree after watching the show...He is the owner of some nightclubs and bars in Austen Texas and is something of a "good ole boy" says executive producer, Mike Fleiss, But he says also that he's "really cool" he's also admitted to being a millionaire...not too shabby for the lucky lady who gets that final rose.

The show this year show takes place in Malibu in what is being called a "bachelor pad"...It is here he will meet those 25 bachelorettes who all are hopeful they will be the one he chooses...they will go on group dates, personal dates and even some very private dates, where the camera doesn't intrude behind those closed doors....Hmmm.........

But first he has to eliminate the first group of ladies...those that don't get that coveted rose are sure to be very disappointed...I read something one of the producers said that this year will have the craziest girls ever, well, in that case, it really should be a hoot to watch. So far, there was no disappointment on that end when one girl showed her webbed toes, another jumped in the pool and another got into some strange twisted body position to show off how flexible she is...yes, very strange....another thing I always find funny is when the girls have a bit too much to drink and say some things that really shouldn't say on TV..it happened tonight, one girl just couldn't keep it together...she didn't get the rose!

Now after the first elimination of 10, the stage is set for some interested tete a tete's between them all...the girls will get very bitchy with each other while turning on the charm for him, there will be surprises galore with many broken hearts and the tears will flow as the losers drive off in the limo... yet, there will be one lucky winner and though Brad says he is looking for a wife I wonder if it will pan out, only time can tell....Let the fun and games begin!!

The Bachelor airs Monday nights on ABC at 10:00 P.M
