Bachelor Aftermath

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

I saw an interview with the creator of The Bachelor today, and this caught my eye:
Why did you choose Ashley H. as your bachelorette?

I don’t know, she’s kind of cool, she’s spunky and she’s got a lot personality. It’s also the first time we had an actual professional woman as a bachelorette. She’s not a party planner, she’s a dentist! That’s a good step for us. I think it’s a cool good lesson for young ladies out there to see an accomplished woman still struggling to put the personal side of her life together. That’s something a lot of women can relate to. She will be a different kind of bachelorette!
Yeah, a different kind of bachelorette, the unappealing kind.

Okay, first of all, she's in dental school. She's not a dentist yet. That's a student, not a "professional" woman.

Second of all, a party planner earns a living. A student doesn't. I don't think there's any shame in having an actual job.

Didn't Ali work at Facebook? Yeah, she quit to do the show, but she had a real job, but being on TV for a living is probably a better job.

Third, is this how low young ladies' expectations are right now? They have to look up to a dental student? Aim high, folks. Maybe someday, with a little spunk and hard work, you ladies can have the right to vote or get married without a dowry.

Baahahaha! "I don't know, she's kinda cool" even this guy knows there was no good reason to pick her. I hope one day I can grow up to be a flat chested dental student

You hit that right on the nose. A dental student does not a professional woman make. Not only did they choose the wrong girl, they chose her for the wrong reason.

You know who would make a great bachelorette? A lawyer that's been laid off. That is a (albeit fired) professional woman, and there are lots of them out there these days. That would make for some good drama.

She is a snoozefest waiting to happen. I seriously may have to take a vacation from the whole Bach/Bach-ette scene after that all ready sitting through Brad the second time around.

ALTHOUGH, I MAY have to watch it, just so I can follow along with you as you make me laugh way more than one ought to about a reality dating show!

What a slap in the face to all the previous Bachelorettes! What a doofus.

Also, I heard that Kasey (frog voice/tattoo wrist) is in a relationship with VIENNA. I would bet a paycheck that they go on this summer's Bachelor Pad.

I so agree, just because you're a student, doesn't mean you'll ever make the leap to professional. I doubt she'll continue with her dental schooling now that Hollywood has come knocking. There are term limits to how long one can be in denal school I'm sure and the clock is ticking while she's out doing television shows. And those BANGS! Ugh!

I can't believe I didn't think of that myself, Frog Voice and Vienna really are the perfect couple. A match made in deaf, dumb, and blind heaven. Finally, a perfect couple on this show.

BANGS!
