5 Ways Online Dating Is Like The Bachelor (and 1 Way It's Not)
After last week's melodramatic rose ceremony I practically swore off pilot Jake (whose drama is even vanilla) and this season of The Bachelor. Then Chris Harrison swooped in to tell me that tonight's episode will be going down in my hometown of San Francisco, so you know I'll be watching.
If you tune in too, you'll probably think that the dating show is anything but reality.
Do You Have a Life Plan?
In a job interview you might be asked for your five-year plan, so you better have an answer. Last night on The Bachelor, pilot Jake, who is interviewing strangers for the job of his wife, asked contestant Gia, 26, where she saw things going after the show. Gia had her answer down pat (check out the video above), and I got a sense that she has everything planned out regardless of who plays the role of her husband.
Can You Laugh at Yourself?
Last night on The Bachelor, the women traded in battling for a kiss for fighting to be the best comedian. Pilot Jake made his dates perform at a comedy club, and when contestant Corrie took the stage, glares surprisingly turned to chuckles.
Corrie's act involved mocking all the other women in the house.
5 Things I Learned From Watching The Bachelor
On last night's The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love, commercial pilot and last season loser Jake Pavelka attempted to find his soul mate among 25 women. Between the "landing strip" jokes, absurd statements, and premature tears (it's the first episode!) I did manage to take away five lessons.
Dancing With the Stars — Team Melissa!
I don't know about you, but I'm watching Dancing With the Stars this season merely to see ex-Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft shake her groove thing. After her embarrassing public breakup with fiancé Jason Mesnick, let's face it, she deserves her time under the spotlight! Of course, we don't know what really went on behind closed doors, but I'm still finding myself on Team Melissa.
Dear Poll: Would You Talk Openly About Having Plastic Surgery?
Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker fame did it; so did Melissa from this season's The Bachelor. So would you talk publicly about having plastic surgery, too?
While these women owned up to having breast reduction surgery, which some consider more of a medical need than a cosmetic choice, I'm still left wondering why they wanted to world to know such personal information.
Where Do You Stand? Dating Someone Who Has Popped the Question Three Different Times
Now that The Bachelor has finally come to an end, we know the truth behind all the rumors. You've made your opinions about him very clear, but I'm curious to know something else — how you feel about dating someone who has popped the question three different times already! Yes, each situation in Jason's circumstance brought different challenges, but I've got to say, I'd be pretty wary to get involved with someone who can't seem to commit — for whatever reason.
Where Do You Stand? Kissing and Telling
Our resident bachelor has narrowed it down to two final girls, but before we get to see who he picks as his future wife, we got to hear Jason wrap with Chris Harrison about what really went down behind the scenes this season. This tell-all episode also gives the women a chance to clear the air and ask Jason all their unanswered questions, but the real juicy part was Jason kissing and telling!
Though the girls signed up for their relationship to be out there for the world to see, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was one of them listening to Jason air our dirty laundry, so to speak.
Dear Poll: Is Falling in Love Scary or Exciting?
I'm finally caught up on The Bachelor, and after watching Monday night's episode, I couldn't help but pick up on an overall feeling the girls were experiencing — fear. While their circumstances are certainly unique, I happen to think that falling in love is far more exciting than it is scary. Sure, letting your guard down and putting your heart on the line is always risky, but the potential gain far outweighs that risk, if you ask me.
Would You Date Someone With a Strained Relationship With Their Family?
Our current bachelor, Jason Mesnick, got down to business last night when he traveled to the hometowns of the four remaining contestants to meet their families. As we all know, meeting someone's parents has the ability to explain a lot — we sure got some great insight last night! But I couldn't help but feel differently about Melissa once I learned that her parents were not willing to support her on the show, and that her friends had never even met them before!
