Bachelorette: What Was She Thinking?

Yes, I watch The Bachelorette. No, I do not take it seriously. It adds amusement to my life and I enjoy the man-candy -- I may be married, but I am not dead. But, after last night's episode I am not sure that I want to continue tuning in every Monday evening.

DeAnna's choice of final two men is bizarre. One is a divorced single father and the other is a snowboarder. She is only 26 so I can understand her falling for the snowboarder because he offers tons of fun and zero responsibility. Meanwhile, I question whether she has really given much thought to becoming an instant step-mother. The other strange thing is that I thought she didn't want to move far from her family in Georgia, and she has chosen one guy who makes a living sliding down mountains on a snowboard (not much snow in Georgia) and the other lives in Seattle --the exact opposite corner of the country.

Guess I was shocked last night when she said goodbye to Jeremy. He was the perfect guy with the perfect life, and a southerner to boot. What was she thinking? If she were 30, this is the guy she would have chosen.

The way she spoke to the 'cast-off' bachelors last night was harsh. None of those men deserved to be spoken to that way. They already had been sent home so why did she have to be Ms. Nasty. I hope she gets the life she picks and that karma comes back to bight her.
