Switch it Up

As a TV junkie, I expect a lot from my shows. Originality, humor, surprise, hot men. Most of my favorites deliver on this expectation: LOST, Grey's Anatomy, World Poker Tour (maybe not the hot men on that one.) Even 24, which is now in it's 5th season knows how to keep it real.

Then there is The Bachelor.

Now I want to preface this by stating that I am NOT an avid Bachelor fan and have not watched the show since that greaseball 40-something year old picked wrinkled Mary to be his bride. Did they ever get married anyway??

But the other night, I came home from dinner, and the season finale was on. And there on the TV screen was the Bachelor getting ready for the final rose ceremony, and the two chicks getting into their respective limos. Granted, the Bachelor tried to mix things up this year by having the male ho, I mean bachelor, seduce the women in France, but for the love of god, can they please change up the final rose ceremony???!!!

They have it down to a science: Losing girl goes first. Thinks she's being picked. Gets dumped. Leaves in limo, crying to the camera. Second girl comes in. Thinks she's being picked. Guy says something that gives her doubt. He is only joking and she gets picked. Cheesy hugging and kissing, potentially crying, and a diamond ring meaning something.

You know as soon as the first woman steps out of the limo that she's a goner. Why can't they switch this up?? Just for one season, throw us a curve ball. Have the Bachelor pick the first girl, then have her wait in the closet while he dumps the second. Or have him not pick either of the women. Or have him come out as a polygamist and pick both! Something, please!!!
