i have been sucked into trash television.

it happens to me every single time.  the bachelor (or bachelorette depending on the season) has grabbed a hold of me on the first night and now i'm hooked.  and just in case i miss a night, the dvr is all ready to go.  it's a sickness.

how many of you are watching?  raise your hands.  we're in this together.  my sister-in-law text'd me tonight to even say we need to have a little bachelor night get together's.  and i am actually thinking it's a DAMN good idea.  it's a sickness.  but i'm not alone. 

i really don't even like jake, but i'm still watching.  he's just too much of a perfect-nicey-mcnice-pants or something.  anyways, from the previews it looks like this season will be full of drama.  check out this little story.  so, which one of the ladies who is DYING to be his co-pilot takes the wrong flight?  i'm not sure yet, but do you think it might be ol' rozlyn?  she doesn't seem too into jake compared to the others, but dude, maybe she's just normal?  what do you guys think?  i haven't tried to google to figure out who it is.  maybe i should.  :)

here are some quick thoughts i have about tonight:

• michelle is ... whack.  is there really anything more to say about her?  dude, ed warned jake about her.  she must have literally put a spell on him or something.
• who in the fricken world asks a dude to play airplane with her on the first night they meet?  wow.  it would have been way cooler if she would have asked to ride him around like a horse.  he would have so blushed.  and then bowed to her command.
• elizabeth (from nebraska) is cool.  she brought a football to play catch, can actually toss the ball, and played football in a dress.  okay, so did the others, but she gets points for starting it.  plus she's pretty.
• does channy know who jake is?  'land your plane on my landing strip' wouldn't be the one-liner i choose to sweet talk ol' straight-laced jake.  bad idea channy.  bad idea.
• ella scares me.  she's all too 'he-is-going-to-be-my-husband-or-i-am-going-to-kick-some-ass' like and i'm not digging it.  plus, does she have an ex or what?  she's got a seven-year-old that just HAPPENS to want to be a pilot when he grows up.  i need more details about this chick.
• gia is not right for him.  seems to high maintenance and might have a mental issue.
• i really like tenley.  she's cute.  nice.  the old ex-in-the-closet might cause her some grief.  but i think jake likes her.  he really likes her.  :)
• was ashley the one that got dressed up in the little 'pilot' uniform?  kind of lame, but whatever.  i think she scored a rose from it.
• i like ali.  she seems normal.  i think she'll go far with mr. pilotman.
• the last girl out of the limo, michelle (aka the one who might just jump off a building if she doesn't get picked) didn't even remember to tell him her name.  and she still got a rose!  bonus. 

that's all i have right now.  i'm not into jake, but this whacko drama is going to suck me in again.  oh well, gives me something really read worthy to blog about right?  riiiiiight.

now, all you that are watching this trash right along with me ... give me your thoughts!

i'm raising my hand HIGH! i get sucked into this EVERY season and i just said i wouldn't watch jake...because he's...jake

i'm with you on the girls, really liked tinley and a couple of others but that's about it!!

my DVR is set, this season is definitely a go!

[Ash-eee!]

I too have been sucked in AGAIN! It is a curse, why do we even start watching we know all the drama and craziness it includes!!! I second Tina's idea for bachelor nights!!! Sounds like a good time!!
As for the ladies this season, they seem to get crazier and crazier every year!!! I think that the producers told Jake he HAD to keep Michelle around as the pscyo chic just for ratings reasons, cuz honestly if someone told you they cried cuz they weren't getting time with you on the FIRST night wouldn't that be a huge red flag that this lady is going to be quite the little clinger~pscyo stalker!!!! I too like Tenley and Ali, as long as they don't turn evil on me I think these are his two best chances for a "normal" relationship!!! Looks like a nice DRAMA filled season though~I think Jake has a little bit of a short fuse that they never shared before~did you see in the previews when he walks out of the interview room and kicks the lights and slams the door open!! hahaha, guess he isn't "mr. perfect" like we all thought!!!

Ok, first of all... thanks for outting me on the bachelor night get-together's. But there's just fun little comments or jaw-dropping moments that I think would be fun to share with one-another... over a glass of wine and some goodies of course!
Second of all - I totally second your thoughts on Channy - I was embarrassed for her when she threw out the "you can land your plane on my landing strip anytime" garbage. wow.
Ella? - Is she the older, scarier looking lady? She reminds me of somebody, and I can't put a name on it yet. It'll come to me.
What's that one chicks name, the one that doesn't like other women at all? She has had nothing good to say about any of the other girls... She seems like she'll create some real drama this season.
Oh, and what is the teacher-chick's name? I'd like to put ten bucks down on that she won't have a job when she gets back from the bachelor. Not sure how we'd follow up on that, but it'd be a good bet anyway.
Not sure who I really like yet. I guess I'll just have to watch again next week...

raising my hand high- i'm always a sucker for this!

I can't bring myself to watch any of that trash TV, but have to say that I think you should give weekly updates! Your brief rundown of the show is pretty much all that I need to know....

Oh! another thing. Yes, Jen you are not alone! Disgusting isn't it??

[renee]

so far I like Ali and Elizabeth from Neb. I think I like Ali more at this point because she's not going out of her way to get his attention and doesn't seem fake. But its too early in the show to really tell. I am disgsuted at myself for getting sucked into this. I really honestly hate this show. But its turning into a love/hate relationship...all because I like Jake! So sick....
