We should first note that CW did not in fact watch the show. His manliness is still intact as he was forced to take home work last night that begged his attention more than ABC's phoniness.
LB: Ever since I heard a rumor that Brad picks Chantal, I was rooting for her. I wish I hadn't heard it beacuse I definitely got attached...I like that she's not perfect, but seemed perfect for him.
CW: Hold the phone. You got attached to a contestant on the Bachelor? That's your first mistake.
LB: I did. My name is LB and I got attached to a Bachelor contestant.
CW: Hi LB.
CW: When did you hear this rumor? Please tell me you didn't hear this at the start and rooted for her from the very start, when there are like 30 women throwing themselves at this guy.
LB: Yes, I heard it before the first episode. But she's been doing well all season (obviously since she made it to the end). So I had reason to believe she'd make it. Seemed like Brad was taking the easy way by going with the most beautiful woman. It's the most obvious choice. It makes you wonder if she's really right for him, or if he just couldnt bring himself to not pick the prettiest girl. I liked Chantal, not because she was the most perfect girl on the show. She definitely wasn't. If I had to pick the most laid back girl she wouldn't have been it. She was the first one to tell Brad she loved him. She was sure of him from the get-go. She's at the right age and right time in her life to get married. She's 28 I think. Emily, on the other hand, seems desperate for a Dad for her daughter. She's only 24. They're 14 years apart. Before her last date wtih Brad she said she hoped this would be her last day as a single girl...Uhh ok, but shouldn't your focus be on the guy, not on being coupeld rather than single?
CW: So wait a minute, you're telling me that this guy picked a younger, hotter girl? I'm shocked.
LB: Gag. Way to be a predictable male. Really showing your character there, bro.
CW: I think you should be happy that your girl didn't get picked. He's the Bachelor, not Characters R' Us. I think that it's just complete madness to have this show set up the way it is. You have 25 steamy women just absolutely throwing it at one guy. He's in paradise.
LB: And he's not allowed to tell them he loves them. Because that's completely fair. I think a more realistic show would involve equal numbers of men and women. Technically that show exists, it's called Bachelor Pad.
But it's more of a dramariffic sex romp than a realistic search for love.
CW: That just sounds like it'd be fightland.
LB: Exactly.
CW: YOU SLEPT WITH THE SAME GIRL THAT I SLEPT WITH, BRO??? Aaaaaand fight!
LB: I LIKED HIM FIRST UGHHH!
CW: But seriously, be glad for your girl Chantal
LB: I am, ultimately. Apparently she's got a smokin' hot new dude. Who hasn't sold his balls to ABC. So that's a plus.
CW: Having balls is a plus. But be glad for Chantal that she isn't the wife of 'The Bachelor.' First off, your whole dating experience is documented on TV for everyone to watch. There are things there you probably don't want posterity to see. There's also a degree of separation from the show that comes with being that last one. She can swear the whole thing off and have her hands clean because she got burned. Plus, unlike Brad and Blondie, Chantal will have the chance to fade from the spotlight. Blondie, on the other hand, will have her love to her broadcasted beau scrutinized at every turn. That's just not really pleasant. I think that's the biggest problem that I have with this show: the way it's set up, I think that any resulting relationship stands a good chance of crashing and burning.
LB: Agreed.
