Have you ever, like, eaten a whole cake, looked down at the naked crumbs on the plate, your belly sticking out, and just thought "ugh".
That's how I feel right now. And this time there was no cake involved.
The cake--is ABC's "The Bachelor". And I'm walking away ashamed.
First of all, let me insert the disclaimer that I didn't even want to watch this show. I accidentally got into it by hanging out at my girlfriend's house Monday nights. Before I knew it, it had become a Monday night ritual. And it was fun, you know, in a shameful kind of way.
But this show! I started out thinking it was ridiculous, watched myself get sucked along and did very little to fight it, and then watched it end, with all of its overplayed dramatics. Frankly I can't even bother to comment on its ridiculous twist. I feel used that I allowed myself to get swept away with such blatant corporate contrivities. (http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/03/03/jason-im-not-proud-of-what-i-had-to-do/) It's hard to say who's playing who in this ridiculous ending, but for some reason I feel played. Never again ABC. Never again.
