I came back to see who won the giveaway and ...Phew! I came back to see who won the giveaway and learned that you do not in fact watch Two and a Half Men and you weren't saying it was as good as Arrested Development. Sorry I didn't read carefully enough. That really scared me for a minute. <br /><br />Also I found out that you wrote that cleaning article in Parents magazine. I get Parents magazine and when I read that I thought, "If this girl wrote all the articles I might actually like this magazine and keep subscribing to it." I didn't know it was you! (not that I know you) I feel like a weird stalker now. Just thanks for writing a blog that makes me laugh.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554478622955312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-10351415668939728952011-01-28T22:00:00.954-07:002011-01-28T22:00:00.954-07:00I have never watched The Bachelor, but I used to w...I have never watched The Bachelor, but I used to watch the Real World back in the 90's, back when Puck was on the show. Sometimes I watch that show about the Duggars. That is the extent of my Reality TV viewing.<br /> For some reason I never watched Arrested Development when it originally aired, I'm pretty sure I was too busy watching Alias or something with my girlfriends. A few summers ago, my husband and I watched Arrested Development in it's entirety and couldn't believe what we had missed.

And as for Anne Frank, yes their date would be some crAzY romantic attic fiasco. No-one has mentioned how Brad constantly uses the same phrases over and over and over and over like... 'I truly do appreciate all of you', 'if this isn't right, then I would hope you would leave because I am here for the right reasons', 'I couldn't do this if it weren't for my therapist', 'my therapist is comeing over to discuss...'. I could go on and on and on.

And although I have only seen the parts of The Bachelor that end up on The Soup, so I really don't know what kind of shenanigans Brad is up to with these "ladies." I must say I never thought that his decision to not choose someone from his first season was so awful. If he didn't love them I think it was much better to not propose to one of them. So he seemed like the most sane bachelor, until he came back.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396279385062971945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-57656843597243618482011-01-26T10:37:59.557-07:002011-01-26T10:37:59.557-07:00"If Anne Frank were on the bachelor I'm p..."If Anne Frank were on the bachelor I'm pretty sure Brad would take her on a date to a cramped attic. "<br /><br />lolol. So true. <br /><br />I was confused at you talking bout AD and Two and a half men in the same sentence as well. Glad for the clarification. <br /><br />I agree with all you say in the post but the bottom line is that B-rad is a major dream boat and I just can't stay mad at him for more than a minute. I'll be mad about something, then they do another hot tub or shower scene and I see those pecs, and then we're not in a fight anymore.christian@dontdodumbthings.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448589643937395711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-54291744204133504132011-01-26T10:36:22.347-07:002011-01-26T10:36:22.347-07:00thanks.

BUT it's not about "The Bachelor"<br />It's a journey ya see. A journey to find love. (Yes I've partaken of the Kool aid & it's good!) In theory it's an interesting social experiment. Give a guy (Rich & Handsome) 30 incredibly attractive women and see what happens. What's not to watch?

(ie flying in the plane, and driving race cars... who thinks that's a good idea?! Helloooo?!) and because it's the only channel we get, but in reality, we all know REAL relationships don't start this way. It's illogical to think that the people are actually going to stay together. Yes, there have been a couple of successful relationships from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette (Please let Alli and Roberto make it! They make such a lovely couple!), but it's the exception, not the norm.That One Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092722357653853354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-58462573485470289022011-01-26T04:50:58.741-07:002011-01-26T04:50:58.741-07:00Listen, unless you have a Nielsen box or watch onl...Listen, unless you have a Nielsen box or watch online, no one knows what you're watching, so voting by not watching is hogwash. Sometimes you're just in that guilty pleasure mood, right? What's most upsetting to me about the Bachelor is that the icky thing is still on after all these years, with no significant change in the format -- what does that say about America? It's just the same thing over and over again. Why don't they just show the re-runs? Yikes.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635054930204348566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-47942862732113800122011-01-25T21:55:37.919-07:002011-01-25T21:55:37.919-07:00I also was confused into thinking you watched 2.5 ...I also was confused into thinking you watched 2.5 men.
