I've Created A New Bachelor Show Inspired By'Survivor'

Since 2002, "The Bachelor" (and its surrounding shows) have been popular among many. The summer spin-off of "The Bachelor" started with "Bachelor Pad," and eventually evolved into "Bachelor in Paradise." Yeah, the summer shows are fun, but they haven't been as successful as expected. Because of this, I have created a new summer Bachelor show inspired by "Survivor." If you haven't seen "Survivor," here's a quick low-down. A bunch of random people are placed into the wild and have to not only survive on food they catch and find on their own along with sleeping outside, but they compete in challenges each week and at the end of the episode, collectively vote one individual out of the game. Can you picture a Bachelor version of that?

Let's start with the tribes the contestants would be placed into. The tribes on "Survivor" are basically categories the contestants are placed into based on certain aspects of their lives. "Survivor" recently did "Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty." On The Bachelor, it's usually just about brawn and beauty, so I decided to introduce a "brains" category featuring the select few smart "Bachelor" contestants. On the Brain tribe, the show is going to have Andi the lawyer, Chris (aka cupcake) the dentist, Nikki (Juan Pablo's pick) the pediatric nurse practitioner, Whitney (Chris Soules' pick) the fertility nurse, and Nick (Santa from this current season), the electrical engineer.


Moving on to the survival part. Imagine former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants living outside. No longer a beautiful mansion with a bartender and big beds. Hilarious, right? But I think they could do it. If Carly was on the show (again) I don't think she'd be "freakin'" excited about this concept.


Next, the challenges. "Bachelor Pad" used to have challenges, which I loved, so I'm bringing them back. Here's a challenge that puts together "The Bachelor" and "Survivor." The tribe members have to sit in a hot tub drinking ("Bachelor"). After a certain amount of time (or until they're drunk enough), the contestants will have to make their way to the bottom of the hot tub for puzzle pieces to put a puzzle together ("Survivor") of Chris Harrison.


Lastly, the ending ceremonies. On "The Bachelor," it's a rose ceremony, where the Bachelor or the Bachelorette picks who they want to eliminate. On Survivor, it's called tribal council, where the tribe members collectively vote for one another to vote someone out. On "Survivor," when the tribe member gets voted out, the flame on their torch is put out, and on "The Bachelor," they aren't given a rose. In my new ceremony, each contestant has a rose with their name on it in the back of the room, and whichever rose catches on fire and burns out is the contestant going home. Might as well rip off the band-aid, right?

I think that my new show could finally be the solution to "The Bachelor's" summer show problem. If there is going to be a new Bachelor show, it needs to be less lovey-dovey and more funny and interesting. It's time to switch things up.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
