Bachelor Pad: Tears, Booze, and Drama

"this show should be called 'Tenth Grade Pool Party'." --Hulu commenter

Ah, where to begin with my most shameful guilty pleasure show: Bachelor Pad.  For those of you lucky enough not to have heard of it, here's the gist: losers from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette live in a mansion together, fight with each other, and cry a lot for a chance at $250,000.

Yeah.  I can't believe I watch it either.

I rarely watch The Bachelor/ette, so why does this shitty show have so much appeal for me?  Well, besides it being poor reality TV (something I can't seem to tear myself away from), there are a few elements that make this show so weirdly entertaining.

Hot people.  Bikinis and trunks.  Silly dates (they went to a wax museum and pretended to be statues once.  WTF).  Silly competitions (a spelling bee, I shit you not).

It was just awkward for everyone.


And tears.  So.  Many.  Tears.

Tears after the spelling bee (I kind of wanted to cry too).


Tears on a bunk bed.

Tears by a strange lava lamp.

All that salty goodness entertains me for some reason.  I guess I'm just an asshole.  But at least I...well...nah, I got nothing.  I'm just a dick.

Ha-ha, pretty people crying.  Ha motherfuckin' ha.  Continue to amuse me for the prospect of a quarter of a million dollars.

  1. ROFL!! Love the pics and the captions, especially the one with the strange lava lamp. If you're an asshole for loving shitty reality TV, I think there are a lot of us out there. And now I really want to take my next date to pretend to be statues. :)
