Will You Accept This Rose, Then Punch Me In The Face?

Another season of "The Bachelor" hath come and gone (tear).  I accidentally watched the finale last night, with Chris.  Normally, bedtime at the Willis crib consists of Chris surfing the Web on the iPad and me catching up on "crap television" (as Chris calls it).  While the crap is being viewed, I rub Kasia's ears and eventually we all fall soundly asleep.  Last night however, was a different story.

Since Monday's lineup of crap tv isn't all that awesome, I stumbled onto "The Bachelor: The Final Rose" trying to find an episode of "Holmes on Homes" (more about Mike Holmes later).  Since being filmed in Zermatt, Switzerland, the landscape of the location was something I could not take my eyes off of.  Holy shit.  I want to ski there.  Tomorrow.  What caught Chris' eye was the phrase was something along the lines of "Jennie.  Do you seriously think that guy is good looking?  He looks like a Muppett."

So we watched.  In awe.  As a family.  Awesome.  Below are a few comments/concerns that I have taken away from last night's viewing spectacular:

1.)  That Courtney chic is pretty.  I'll give you that HOWEVER, the fact that she has some weird nervous habit of touching her face at serious times and doesn't fully open her mouth to talk = she is hiding something or acting completely fake.  I vote the latter of the two.

2.)  The Other Chic has bad roots.  Is that cool nowadays?

3.)  Ben is is no way good looking.  Scrawny, in need of a serious hair cut and picking up serious bleeps on a my gaydar, the producers could have used Dr. Travis Stork again for this season.

4.)  "Will you accept this rose" has got to go.  I think in this day in age roses are out.... how about a cool succulent?  An orchid?  A grouping of beautiful greens?  OR..... what about "Let's go steady"?

All in all, The Bachelor (or, The Plunger as Chris called it) needs to amp up.  This isn't real life.  The success rate for the people participating in this show is so low-- almost like we already know whats going to happen After The Final Rose.  They break up.  Blah, blah, blah.
