The Bachelor Breakdown

Well, I think it should be obvious as to why I am writing today....THE BACHELOR FINALE is on tonight!! I am definitely a shamless Bachelor follower to the core. I will block out or schedule things around my Monday nights since I don't have anything like you rich people with DVR or whatever you call it. With that said, it should come as no shock that I will be on the edge of my seat until the very last minute tonight. I can barely even get anything done today, I am so excited. I'm serious, while some may think this is sarcasm dripping, it truly is sheer unabashed zeal and excitement.

So, on to the meat of the matter: who is Brad going to pick? Well, in my opinion, it's an obvious no-brainer, he will be picking Emily, although aiming a bit high for himself. Although a mere 24 to his rather senior age of 39, Emily exudes a bit more maturity than the nearly over the hill bachelor of late. Matter of factly, Emily could probably do a great deal better for herself than Bachelor Brad who is now on round two of the reality show, not to mention find someone a little more Ricky friendly. (Was it just me, or did Brad look completely fake and forcing everything in his interactions with the little girl, as well as the supposed "off camera" clips they showed us of Brad and Chris' good-natured philanthropic works with the children in South Africa?)Anywho, that is my take, that Brad will aim high for Emily, maybe succeed (and by succeed, I only mean that she will accept on camera, but let's be honest, as much as I love this show, it doesn't have a great track record of actual success in the longevity department of match made couples)maybe not, if Emily knows what is good for both her and for ratings.

Then there is Shantell. Oh come on. She has about the same maturity as the little sister I don't have. Sure, she's pretty like the rest of them, a little freer spirited than Emily, but she also seems to have about as much stability as the weather. She's crazy emotional and completely not ready for an actual adult relationship, let alone a marriage to stand the test of time....err, I guess the test of Bachelor time that is. Either way, this should make for some good entertainment and good ratings for the show because if she isn't picked, we can perhaps expect a mental breakdown of sorts.

And that's the Bachelor Brad breakdown from my neck of the woods. Surely, no one else has put this kind of thought or time into the program, but they probably are not nearly as ridiculous as I am either, so I guess you just have to consider the source. Good day and God bless, Good Tidings to all, and to all a Happy New Year.
