I gave in. I caved. I watched the first episode of The Bachelor Pad on ABC. All tolled - it's a complete slutty mess. Think the most drama-filled episode of Bachelor meets "Survivor" & "Big Brother." Then throw in more booze, more plastic surgery and a few guys who shave their chests and take roids. It's really genius, actually. Much more bang for the buck than a season-long investment of The Bachelor. We're now bound to see many more fame whoreish-ness on The Bachelor and Bachelorette in seasons to come too. Not only will peeps be cast through the lens of one show - but producers will now be asking themselves: should this woman end up on The Pad? Bachelor Pad will become just like The Real World and some of the contenders will be like what's his name... You know, the cute guy from the first season of Real World who wound up on every Real World sequel and special until he went MIA and postal looking a few years ago. Eric Nies!
Ginny has been watching as well. Please hit the play button below to hear what she has to say about hostess Melissa and the twisted & desperate Elizabeth. My two cents: The Weatherman must not be a real Weatherman. No one on TV gets this much time off, unless he's forecasting for Ben Franklin Middle School Pubic Access Television.
Enjoy Ginny. Let me know what you think of the show!
