It all started in 2002, and fifteen years later, here we all are, still continuing to watch the reality show on ABC. We all know the feeling we get when the first episode of the season occurs. The clock strikes 7pm and we see the mansion in clear view, with a beautiful man or woman in just waiting for their future spouse to come out of a limo.
Obviously, we're all here for the right reasons and that means we want to see these people find love, right? Wrong. We find the utmost pleasure watching the drama, the laughs, and the insanity because it gives us a break from real life. Honestly, what's not to laugh about or enjoy?
1) The list of jobs and occupations each contestant has. We've seen it all from erectile dysfunction specialist to bachelor superfan, twins, chicken enthusiast, dog lover and free spirit. Yes, some of these are not jobs but seeing the occupation under their name every single time they pop up on the screen is a good laugh.
2) Everybody can't wait to see which contestant will be the next "Olivia" or "Chad". We know the producers purposely find someone every season that is completely insane, immature, or a diva that is there for the sole purpose of entertainment. Then, we can't wait until it comes down to the two on one date for them to be left stranded, whether that's in the middle of a forest or on a private island; alone.
3) It's a weekly reminder, you're life could be a lot worse. Ha, wouldn't have guessed this one right? It's true. My life could be worse. I could be Corrine and not know the concept of life by having my nanny do everything for me. Or hey, if Chad can somehow got on a reality show being aggressive, I can do anything! Or, man at least I'm not an unemployed nurse as my profession. Most of all, if Olivia can survive being stranded on an island, I guess I can get through my day tomorrow...life could be worse.
4) The people are attractive. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. We all know that a group of girls are going to sit on their couches drinking a glass of wine to watch attractive men fight over a woman's love, and vice versa! These people are insanely hot. Let's not just throw that reason aside here.
5) Two words: Chris Harrison. The man. The myth. The legend. God forbid, what would we do with out ever seeing Chris Harrison again!? Oh how we'd miss the "it's like nothing you've ever seen before" or, "Ladies/Gentleman this is the last rose of the evening", or "Are you ready to watch (insert name here) go on the journey to find love?"
6) The Humiliation. Don't deny it. Watching the tears over a man who kissed 30 other woman, and someone is upset about it, even though they knew what they signed up for...is hilarious! 
7) We are jealous. Also don't deny this one. Don't lie and say you aren't jealous that you get to literally tour the globe and go on amazing adventures like going to a beach with pigs, or parachuting during a sunset, or dancing with the backstreet boys. Let's remind ourselves all these excursions are FREE. Yes, that's right, free. 
8) The entrances in the first episode. The anticipation! Will someone pop out of a cupcake? Will someone come as Santa Clause!? What's next, flying down in a helicopter? Coming dressed up as a shark, but saying you're a dolphin? Oh right, that happened! 
9) Somehow, we still want to believe in fairy-tale love. That it's real, and alive, and possible! Sure, maybe finding it on the bachelor is impossible and quite slim but it's happened. Let's not forget Kaitlyn and Sean, or Sean and Catherine, or Ben and Lauren! How about Jojo and Jordan, they are going strong! Even seeing the slim chance, it still let's us believe it's possible.
