The Bachelor

I think the producers are fucking with us with the chicken lady. If Ben takes her out on a date to a chicken place and tells her how it's his favorite food ever, we'll know for sure she's an actress. Honestly, I don't want to believe she's real.

True. At the very least, the photo collection of chickens (with Ben's head shot sprinkled in) HAS to be a goof.

Also, how did that Russian lady who speaks no English around? That, Flower Girl, crazy Lacey, and twins were something right out of Burning Love, man.

But then, they always have to have drunk and crazy the first couple episodes.

And I completely agree that this guy is super boring. He handled himself SO WELL during his Bachelorette season though, so I get why they brought him back.

Also, that one lady from Chris' season is back and as flat as ever. Why would they bring her back? She can't convey emotions.

Men!!!

I'm choosing Derek, a banker from Florida, for having the courage of not manscaping himself to death. And, because he's hawt.

If you list your profession as "Canadian," does that mean you're getting paid just for being Canadian, i.e. you're on welfare/unemployment north of the border?

This was the best they could do?! I loathe 97% upon site.

It's summer, so we get to be shallow, right? Because Chad was a total sociopath / maniacal asshole jerk, but he was totally hot, too! /shallow decision making

I can't tell most of the guys apart. They're all football-build with the same haircut.

I'm also laughing at all the promos making it looks like Chad snaps at the pool or like he goes all horror-movie next week. Dude, if that was the case, the show would never air that stuff, and it would be facing all kinds of lawsuits.

Chad does seem creepy though. A lot of his "I'm the bully being bullied," "I'm the victim," "they're making me do it because of their behavior" is abuser talk 101.

My daughter is home for a week before she starts back at college and she's watching Bachelors in Paradise. Laying around on the beach, making out, and ragging about why doesn't he like meeee?? I'm sooo wonderful and beautiful!! Just shoot me now.

I don't watch The Bachelor or Bachelorette but damn, Bachelor in Paradise is my crack. It's so campy. Perfect summer brainless TV. Love it.
