I Stand Corrected

In the "I ain't often right but I've never been wrong" category I was pretty sure the two dumbest shows on television were The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. A competition between young men and women long on looks, short on brains and without a thread of common sense between them. Man was I wrong.

I came home after I nice surfing session prepared to watch the Patriots pre-season game. As soon as I walked in the door I froze. I heard voices I never expected to hear again. I was frozen like being called from the grave. They were the voices of the losers of the most recent Bachelor and Bachelorette season. (If you lose this competition of narcissistic nitwits you are really a loser).

I guess the show is Bachelor Pad where these IQ-less, egomaniacs vote against each other in quest for a $250,000 grand prize. The first thing that struck me was how desperate these men and women were for the money. I mean six months ago they were all self-made millionaires according to their resumes.

Then I wondered what will these well coiffed mental midgets do next as the clock ticks fourteen minutes and fifty-nine seconds. I'm thinking at best bartender and at worst in the case of Vienna the last woman selected by the unemployed, imbecile Bachelor Jake to be his wife: hard porn.

Finally it wasn't just the existence of the show that caught me by surprise it was the time slot as the Bachelor usually is limited to ruining my Monday nights. The Bachelor Pad is On Demand.
