I’ll be on a cruise during the big Jan 2nd premiere, but it's a Carnival ship, so basically it’s a floating Bachelor/Bachelorette episode.
So, until I return from my trip and catch up on what I missed, let’s kick things off with a little pre-season Bachelor-land update.
This season’s Bachelor is none other than wine-maker Ben Flajnak, our favorite Josh Groban look-alike (and no, this picture is not acceptable).
When we last saw Ben he was piiiiiiissed that Ashley picked JP and rejected his proposal while on bended-knee. But, as I pointed out, he was in the better position…likely able to seize the opportunity to become the Bachelor and pick a less-obnoxious woman.
I’m sure ABC threw some quality gals into his lot of 25 hopefuls, but from the looks of the previews, they also threw in Ben’s fair share of doosies. Lots of crazies who have decided they are in love with Ben (well, in love with the idea of owning a winery and living in Sonoma) before even meeting him.
Who knows how this adventure will turn out for Ben, and although the dismal track record, I always hold out a little hope that it turns out well. But what I do know for sure is that we’re going to have a great time!
How do I know this? Because of previews like this one that remind me of how empty and meaningless my Monday evenings have been since having to say goodbye to the crazy coeds on “The Bachelor Pad.” And did you watch that show? ‘Cause it was fantastic.

And if you really want to get into the Bachelor spirit, here’s an extended promo.

In other Bachelor-land news, Ali and Roberto have called it quits. This comes as a shock after they postponed their wedding 13.5 times.
Vienna and Casey, my (least) favorite Bachelor Pad-ers, have also broken up.
But thanks be to the Reality TV Gods, they will be appearing on a show called “Couples Therapy” on VH1 to try to work out their issues. Who votes it’s a fake breakup just to get back on TV!?! Me, me, me, me!
I will not be watching that ridiculousness. My reality TV heart is reserved for the Bachelor…and “Dance Moms,” but that’s another story.
Until next time, wishing you a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year!
