Thinking Out Loud About The Bachelorette

Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday! I dropped the ball last week and didn't get a post up because I was knee deep in getting ready for the wedding I was helping with. If you missed the post on that, you can catch it HERE. I'll be posting more on the wedding soon because there were far too many good things to cover in just one post!

One of my guilty pleasures is watching the Bachelor and Bachelorette on ABC. Do you watch it? Oh my goodness - I swear I do more eye rolling watching that show! But at the same time, I just can't look away. That's what I'm thinking out loud about today.

I about lost it a couple weeks ago when Hannah was crying to Chris Harrison about how hard it was to be in her situation. Seriously!?! Girlfriend, if you think having 33 handsome fellas following you around the world on expense paid awesome dates you better brace yourself because life is going to kick your butt. Trust me Hannah, life can and will get a lot harder!

And what in the living world does she see in Luke P!?! Cut that man loose! He needs a few more years to grow up and pull himself together. It will be interesting to see how he handles himself on Bachelor in Paradise. (Yes, another train wreck show I can't seem to live without.) Oh my gosh - if I were his mother he would be getting an ear full after I watched this season. First, take some responsibility for your own actions! Do you think ABC is paying Hannah more money to keep him around a bit longer?

Another burning question I have - do you think the guys were told they'd get an extra $100 if they showed up with a salmon blazer? I mean, I liked the blazers, but to have three different people show up with that color seemed a bit odd to me.

My next adventure to Nashville will be to track down Jed and hear his band. Who knows, if Jed is the lucky man to steal Hannah's heart I just might get to meet her too. But with all the controversy surrounding him and the chick he left behind to go on the Bachelorette, he might be run out of town and finding a place to hear him might be hard to do.

I'm really thinking they need a house mother living in the mansion and reporting back to Hannah what is going on there when she's not around. You know, someone who does a little cooking and lays by the pool and listens to all the guy's conversations and actions. I'd apply for that job in a heartbeat!

So until the final episode airs on July 29, you'll find me in front of the TV on Monday nights soaking up all the drama. Are you a fan? What's been your highlights from this season? Who do you want to me the next Bachelor??

That's what I'm thinking out loud about today. What's on your mind? Link up and share!

Thinking Out Loud Thursday - Bachelor Edition

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Did you remember to wear your green today? Glad you stopped by and joined me and Vanessa over at X-tremely V for Thinking Out Loud Thursday!

Did you watch the Bachelor finale on Monday night? I had a little viewing party at my house and we had a great time sharing the most dramatic finale ever! Since then, I've been thinking about the whole bachelor/bachelorette franchise and some advice for those thinking about applying to be a contestant in a future season. That's what I'm thinking out loud about today.

~ Know what you're getting into.
If you hear it once, you hear it a thousand times on this show, "I didn't know it was going to be like this." Usually this is followed by some tears and sniffles. Seriously?!? Well guess what -- if you didn't know what you were getting into, it is nobody's fault but your own. Have you never watched the show before?!? There's 20 seasons floating around out there -- check them out! Know what you're getting into before you sign the contract to participate.

~ Don't try to make yourself look better by making someone else look bad.
Ummm, Leah. Just because the love sparks weren't flying between you and Ben, don't go trying to make someone else look bad. So girls, use this as an example. Concentrate on your relationship and making it strong, not trying to tear down what someone else might have. It will come back to bite you in the bottom. Karma -- it will get you! Oh, and by the way, when the cameras are taping your conversations there's a good chance it will be on national television. No need to act shocked that the other girls find out what you did and said.

~ Know what you look like when you cry.
There have been some really, REALLY, ugly criers on the show. And let's face it, at one time or the other if you're on the show there is a very strong likelihood that you are going to be crying to the camera. So before you step out of that limo, do a little fake cry in a mirror and check out what you are going to look like. And for goodness sake, pack some tissues!! Try to figure out how to shed those tears without looking like these girls ~

~ Leave your chickens at home.

No explanation needed.

Can't wait to see how the next season plays out. You better believe that I'll be sitting here watching the next group of contestants and their train wrecks happen right before my eyes. What about you? Are you a fan of the show? Happy with Ben's selection?

Now it's your turn ~ share with us what you're thinking out loud about today! Link up your favorite post(s) from the week below and let us read all about it.
