The Bachelor Australia
We all have our guilty pleasures and guess what one of mine is? Right! Watching trashy, mindless, cringeworthy reality TV and The Bachelor franchise is at the top of my list. I love it. Not for the handsome dudes (okay, they make it watchable) nor the passion and so called ‘romance’ but for the cringeworthy, uncomfortable, embarassing situations these seemingly intelligent men and women put themselves through to find love.
Australia has finally joined in on yet another program from the US and started up their own version, this time the ‘bachelor’ version with Tim Robards, a chiropractor from Sydney, New South Wales as the ‘catch’. In the first episode, there was plenty of ‘bitchy’ and jealous behaviour from the women, all wanting a slice of the action.
There are some really attractive girls in this lot of bevy beauties including a doctor, marketing consultants, accountants, flight attendant, lawyer, psychologist etc etc so they all must have a brain. I really don’t know what makes women (or men) want to go on these shows. Is it the last straw for them to find love? Is it all about fame and glory and being on TV? Yes, I think so. How could you really get to know someone when you ‘might’ get a date with the bachelor or you ‘might’ get to talk to him for 5 minutes.
There have been a couple of successes in hooking people up including two of my favourites from the US show, Ashley Herbert and JP Rosenbaum but they are few and far between.
Nonetheless, I’ll be hooked each week seeing the girls fight for attention and the ultimate rose. I can’t wait for the spin off series The Bachelorette with the loser from this show. Just imagine the gorgeous Australian guys lining up for her love. No, I can’t either.
Lol Anne it's funny the amount of people I know who are secretly or not so secretly since you've just outed yourself, watching this show. It's definitely not my thing, but these (as it has been for some time) I watch very little TV or series in a regular basis. Mind you though Jamie Oliver's new show is on currently and I've been recording that and watching that in a few moments peace. So I will openly say that I have always loved Jamie and he makes me all swoony, not the Bachelor lol.
Oh I am so with you on this. I cannot believe that people put themselves in the situations they do on "the Batchelor". It is riviting!!!
I haven't watched this but I must confess that I do love watching 'Beauty and The Geek' – especially when they do the make over episodes! Hahahaha! xx
I have never watched this show…but it looks like maybe I should..plenty of eye candy there!
Haha Ann good on you…I don't watch this one but maybe I should!!!
I haven't been watching the Aussie version but I do watch the US version caught Jules watching, wouldn't let him live it own LOL
The world's largest island nation is Australia. Both the natural beauty of the land and the people who live here will amaze any visitor to this country. Tim Robards you are really handsome. Best of luck for the bachelor Australia tv show.
