Even if you hate reality TV, think the plot is stupid, or can’t deal with how staged the acting is, The Bachelor is everyone’s favorite addiction. Plus who doesn't love Chris Harrison.
As a lifelong viewer of The Bachelor, by the end of each season I feel emotionally invested in the characters, and I’m amazed that these girls can deal with “dating” the same guy, because if I were on the show I would be extremely emotionally unstable and people’s lives would be at risk. Season 20 of The Bachelor premiered last night, and as everyone knows the premiere is the best episode because the 28 contestants arrive to meet complete heartthrob and Denver native, 26-year-old Ben Higgins, previously on Kaitlyn’s season of The Bachelorette. As the girls exit the limos, a girl can’t help but predict, judge, and conclude that you’d be better for him than any of these contestants. Here are the notable girls from Episode 1.
Olivia - The super cute, lovable, down to earth news anchor who receives the first impression rose. Literally obsessed with her, and totally can see her and Ben together in the long run.
Lace - The super sassy, slightly crazy, extremely drunk beauty who is literally out of her mind but somehow you still like her. She’s clearly not the girl for Ben (they almost look like twins) but she’ll stay on for drama.
Caila - The software sales rep, just like Ben (match made in heaven). Really likable but jumping into his arms when she got out of the limo was such a force.
Jubilee - Ben seemed to really like her when she got out of the limo, she’ll probably go far on the show. I’m not a fan of the tattoo.
Becca- Everyone’s favorite from last season, who has the slight advantage over the other girls because she already knows Ben. All the other girls should have just called it quits when she walked into the room.
Rose-headed girl - Her name doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned because she’s irrelevant, how she got onto the show, or why she’s still on it is baffling. Next.
Horse girl - “I like beer, NASCAR, and horses”- and I also brought my miniature horse with me (where was it stored?). Bye.
Foreign girl - Does she actually not speak English? Does Ben speak Russian? Why is she still on the show?
Plus 20 other plain, non-impressionable, pretty girls. Who will Ben choose?
Tune into The Bachelor ABC on Monday’s at 8/7c to waste two hours of your life asking where you can find a guy like Ben.
