After the mega-drama that ensued between Jason, Melissa, and Molly on The Bachelor, I swore that I would not be suckered into another season of manipulation by ABC.  And I almost made it.  That is until a few weeks ago when Darren was traveling and the baby was asleep.  Against my better judgement I tuned in and it was all downhill from there.  I liked Jillian from last season so I was curious to see the guys she had narrowed the group down to and who might potentially capture her heart.  Having not watched much of the drama amongst the men unfold I didn’t find myself particularly ‘rooting’ for one guy over the other.  By the time the finale came around I didn’t really think any of the guys were going to be picked.  I thought bringing back Reid was a ploy for ratings and I just didn’t find him all that believable on the After The Final Rose Ceremony.  I think he was over her and everything that went down during the finale but the producers wanted him to play it up for the sake of ratings.  In my opinion, his body language didn’t show a guy who was still madly in love and saddended by the loss of his true love.  I’m definitely going against the grain with that thought though.  I didn’t exactly think Ed was a fabulous choice either but then again having only watched a few episodes I didn’t have a complete picture of who he is.   Jillian & Ed did seem genuinely happy so hopefully they will follow in the footsteps of Trista & Ryan and actually make it down the aisle.  We shall see….

Nominations are now being taken for the next Bachelor.  I am thinking about submitting my brother in-laws name.  He’d make a phenomenal bachelor!!!!!
