First of all, I want to say thank you to ABC for bringing back a second season of "Bachelor Pad." The old me would never have admitted to poisoning my brain with the kind of television trash that would make my father roll over in his grave; but I'm a big girl now- I'm married, have a mortgage, three kids, and if I want to watch seemingly normal people behave in ways that make ME blush, by golly I will. The Bachelorette hasn't even picked a husband yet, and already the network is teasing me with little bits of the show full of rejects from seasons past who want ONE MORE CHANCE at love. And by love I mean, of course, fame and notoriety.
Secondly, an even bigger thank you goes out to Jake and Vienna who can't get enough of each other, yet can't stand each other. Logic would tell most folks that if you make a fool of yourself once on TV in the name of love, then going back on TV in the name of hate isn't going to fare much better. Alas, TV is good to us and the "most Talked about Bachelor break up" couple will entertain us once again as Bachelor Pad contestants. Based on the teasers they previewed during Monday night's "hometown" episode of The Bachelorette, Jake hates Vienna, Vienna hates Jake, his pilot days are waaaay over, and Vienna just can't stop crying about how mean Jake is. Talk about good TV!! I can't wait.
All I have to say to Tucker and Tanner is, homework BETTER be done, and you kiddos best be in bed by the time my "stories" come on, 'cause this is DEFINITELY not PG material. In fact, if word gets out that I watch (read: love) trash TV, my very livelihood as a Sunday school teacher may be in jeopardy. Heck, I may even be moved to the back row in the choir loft. Well, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Till then, reality TV friends. The countdown begins . . .
