Oh, The Bachelorette. ABC's primetime television show that fills the judgmental void of merciless, gossipy, and entertainment-seeking women on Monday nights.
But before I gush about this beautiful guilty pleasure, let me get one thing straight.
I know what you're thinking, "Oh God, she's one of those."
Congratulations, you got me. I am one of those, and without shame of course.
And as someone who went from "I am never watching this" to "Oh my God, she has to choose Blake," I know that this show is dangerous - dangerously good.
Your mind says stop, but your eyes say go.
Your mind says "This show is actually terrible and scripted," but your heart says "I would be the bachelorette in a heartbeat."
So follow your heart, because this everlasting, up and down, constant contrast of emotions that Bachelorette viewers experience is what I like to call, true love.
Only Bachelorette watchers understand the emotional roller coasters that each season contains:
1. "I don't think I'll watch this season." *Throws a premier party*
2. "This show is complete trash!" *Eyes still glued on the TV* " ~~But I'm here for it ~~"
3. "You can't be trusted, you can't be trusted, you can't be trusted - MARRY HIM!!! - You can't be trusted..."
4. "Um...how is he still here?! Must be for the ratings? Must. Be."
5. "Who is her stylist and where can I get those outfits?!"
6. "This is the final rose tonight." Wow, your detective work is incredible, Chris Harrison, but let's save the detective work for later tonight, so we stop delaying my guilty pleasure please and ~~ thank you ~~.
7. "Wow, all this drama is so built up and I'm ~~over it~~!" *3 seconds later* "So, same time, next week, right?!"
We all have our guilty pleasures, for some it's chocolate, and for others, it's going through extreme measures to fit in all two hours a week of The Bachelorette. But no matter what your guilty pleasure is, sit back, relax, andenjoy your completely satisfying, short, and ~~healthy~~ break from reality.
