I always say that I am not a big fan of "Reality T.V.". When a new show comes on, I boo and hiss at the previews sure in my faith that everyone else sees the stupidity of this new concept.
Not surprising, I am wrong.
My subtle love for certain shows began the premier summer of Survivor about three episodes in. At first I couldn't get into it. I didn't know the cast members, therefore had no investment in who won or loss. But once I got to know and love/hate some of the castaways I was hooked. Since then I count down the days till the next session begins and set my PVR to be sure I don't miss a single episode (admittedly, there are always some parts I enjoy rewinding some in slow motion....).
So when the Bachelor came along I was determined not to watch. How desperate are these women to want to via for one mans attention and put all the power in his hands? Never...ever...ok, ok, once they came along with Bachelorette and I saw her not only have the control herself but to actually get married to the man she chose AND have kids... I was impressed.
Maybe this is not so bad. I wasn't hooked right away. I found my interest would peek when it came down to the final four. Nothing beats a good proposal at the end right?
I don't know if it is because I now have two teenager girls to scream and yell at the t.v with and a husband who enjoys it just as much as we do - Mondays have changed from Monday blues to "yell"-ow. The thrill we get from picking and choosing the ones we love to cheer on, picking our favourite dresses and gag at the sappy bachelor moments has become the highlight of our evenings.
There always has to be some psycho every season (aka "Michelle" if you are a fellow watcher) and sweetheart (Emily) and we have all decided that the Bachelor HAS to keep the crazy women on as long as he can so that the ratings stay up.
But we secretly love to hate Michelle since we discovered her wearing none other than Lulu Lemon jackets and pants. Maybe she watches Oprah too.
Which brings me to the money...its all about what you love - If you have been paying attention since last week LLL went from $66.82 to $72.79 as of Feb. 1. So now you have an investment in what you love - be it the Bachelor or a great pair of yoga pants that make yours and Michelle's butts look great.
Enjoy. Hope your making some money.
