So I will confess that I have number of guilty pleasures, but one that I’m hopelessly and shamelessly devoted to is the "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" TV series.

I understand that it is not actually “reality” and that much of what happens is provoked, but I eat it up regardless. I love it. I can’t help it. Judge me.

Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic that lives deep inside me, or maybe it’s the cynical person that I am most days that loves the drama of the show, but either way I can’t get enough.

This season I have a major girl crush on Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher, the bachelorette. I mean c’mon, she’s awesome. What heterosexual girl didn’t question her sexuality the first time JoJo showed off that rockin’ beach bod? But as much as I’d love to be her in another life, this season is just sort of “blah.”

I’m not saying this because there isn’t drama… Chris Harrison always provides that, but the guys just aren’t “it.” Now I know that no one is perfect, but if you’re going to have a "reality" show of the “hottest bachelors” in the country…you better find the crème de la crème.

I mean, seriously, what sort of budget cut is ABC on these days? Only half of the guys have perfect six-packs and Pennsylvania is their first “destination location”? But I’ve digressed… back to the mediocre pool of guys JoJo has left to choose from:

Alex:

What can I say? Well for starters, his Napoleon complex is so annoying I’m starting to question why I ever hated Chad. The man is short, and as a result, is always picking fights with other guys. It’s just obnoxious and not attractive at all. We know JoJo isn’t going to end up with him because they seem to have zero chemistry, so why is she keeping him around? Bye, Felicia.

James:

James is a sweetheart… like “writing poetry and songs and performing them in his questionably adorable southern accent” kind of sweet… but that’s not enough. James is like an elderly neighbor who you think is adorable, and love to talk to, but you’re not about to marry them… There’s someone out there for James, but it’s not JoJo. Note to all guys: if you have to ask a girl “can I kiss you?” her answer should be no. I mean, come on, James. This isn’t a seventh grade dance... grow a pair and just kiss her!

Jordan:

Jordan. Jordan is the hot athlete that knows he’s hot… which is not so hot. He can come across as kind of arrogant, and even though he and JoJo have great chemistry, I’m just not a fan. Ladies, let’s face it. We’ve all been into the popular jock/frat star/non-athletic or Greek-affiliated run-of-the-mill douchebag – (pick your poison). But JoJo isn’t in high school or college anymore. If she’s so serious about this “fairy-tale, forever-after love,” you don’t pick that guy. Leave him on the field/in the frat basement.

Luke:

Luke is the mystery guy. He keeps you intrigued for a while as you try to figure him out, but once you do, you wish you hadn’t wasted your time... bor-ing. He’s kind of one-dimensional and even though JoJo has a lot of passion for him now, I think it will wear off. Plus, does anyone else get the feeling he bought the “What to Say to a Hot Girl Looking for a Husband: For Dummies” book before arriving to the Bachelor mansion? He might be saying the right things, but I smell a rat.

Robby:

Robby is actually from my hometown, so I’ll be nice. I’ve never met him, and he seems normal enough via my television, but there’s a quality… Is it his inability to show any sort of emotion? His suspiciously perfect body? His hair’s refusal to move? Who knows? Robby is the guy that your parents love, and that you probably date for a long time, but not the end-all, be-all kind of relationship. Since he did have a three-year relationship, I’ll give him some credit. He definitely puts in the time, but I’m just not sure about him and JoJo… but who knows? Maybe she's always wanted to marry a Ken doll.

Chase:

Chase seems like a nice, normal guy and honestly might be one of her best options. However, I don’t think you should marry someone just because they suck the least. I’m sure there’s someone out there for Chase, but I don’t think it’s JoJo.

If you look at the "Bachelor" series statistics only seven couples out of 32 seasons are still together. Any seasoned "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" fan knows that most of the time it doesn’t work out in the end. We embrace the dramatic and emotional roller coaster on which we are about to embark… knowing it will all end in heartbreak (and several wasted hours in front of the TV eating Ben & Jerry’s while wondering where your Ben Higgins is… clearly I’m still not over last season). But it’s those seven couples that are still together that keep us watching and hopeful every year.

I think JoJo is the type of person that could walk away with the lessons she’s learned from this show (not to mention the 100 grand) and actually meet someone in the “real” world and have it work out.

But, as I am not running the show from my living room, I will continue watching, in not-so-ignorant bliss and hoping that it does work out for JoJo, because she really deserves it.
