If there is one TV show we all hate to love, it’s The Bachelor.
It’s funny how addicted you can become to The Bachelor because every season is pretty much the same thing every time.
There is always that one person that gets way too drunk on night one, and usually gets sent home.
There is always one person that you hate, but kind of love (I’m looking at you Corinne and Chad.)
Every season, you get the people who cry because “they hate seeing the person they love with other people,” like it wasn’t what they signed up for in the first place?
It got me thinking, what would happen if Washington State University hosted The Bachelor, right here in Pullman. The possibilities for drama, fun, and entertainment are endless:
First, what unique things would the girls get out of the limo with to meet their potential fiancé for the first time:
1. Ice Him Immediately.
You can tell if someone is worth the time if they can finish an ice and “beat the snap.”
2. A puffy coat, WSU baseball cap, lulus, and Nikes.
You want him to know the real you, and it’s 8 freaking degrees outside so screw the dress right?
3. Butch T. Cougar mascot head.
This will definitely get his attention because go Cougs!
Next, Pullman is famous for their social events, so you know that there are never-ending possibilities for group date activities:
1. Of course, Stubby Tuesday.
Nothing says 15 girls fighting for the attention of one guy like a full Stubby glass.
2. The Ladder in Moscow, Idaho.
If you can finish the ladder, you can win his heart, right?
Oh, snap, it’s time for the two-on-one dates. For those who don’t know what those are, two girls go on a date with the Bachelor and after the date, he sends one of the girls home:
1. Wing Wednesday.
Of course, the girl who can eat the most wings wins this one.
2. Kamiak Butte Hike.
At the end of the hike, he will pick one of the girls and then in typical Bachelor fashion, leave the other girl on the top of the mountain.
One-on-ones, saving the best dates for last:
1. The Coug.
A date at the most
2. A trip to the Moscow Liquor Store.
Nothing will tell you if you are compatible like picking out liquor together.
It’s time for the hometown visits, but instead of taking the lucky women to your hometown, you take them to:
1. Your Fraternity of course.
Because, if your “bros” don’t approve, she isn’t the one. So you better make sure she is a winner.
After weeks and weeks of waiting, we are finally down to two lucky women, so how does he propose?
1. Bryan Hall Clock Tower.
One of the most iconic buildings in Pullman makes for one pretty romantic spot to pop the questions.
2. Or, the Cliffs.
Cougs love the cliffs. That paired with the sunsets that we are blessed with here, it would make a beautiful view to start the rest of your life.
But, unfortunately, we are in Pullman. So even with the romantic spots listed above, the proposal would probably go something like this:
“I really like you, like I like you, but like, maybe we should just not label it, ya know? Because then there isn’t pressure. Does that sound good? Okay, dope.”
Hm, maybe us Cougs should leave The Bachelor to Chris Harrison and ABC.
