Because I am currently in a relationship, I have to do things that don't involve scratching myself.   Unfortunately, one of these things is watching the Bachelorette.

"The Bachelorette" is a reality TV show about a short, skinny girl who travels the globe with a bunch of horny guys.  She wears high heels everywhere, cries every 12 minutes and never tires of telling the world how desperate she is to find a husband.  

She starts off the season by drinking with about 100 men.  It's like a frat party with air freshener.   By week two she is in love with only a dozen or so, hoping they will all love her back.  By week four she remembers that she isn't a Mormon, and can only marry one.   This doesn't stop Ashley (that's right, I remembered her name) from crying and tearing out her hair everytime one of the guys sober up and tell her he's not interested.

 As a father of two teenage girls, I am worried about the message this show is sending.   Well, not really.  I mean, on the list of shit that worries me, The Bachelorette is way down there, along with my fear that McDonald's will never bring back the McRib sandwhich again.  

Anyway, last week Ashley decided to spend the night with two of the three finalists.  She would have gone for the erect trifecta, I'm sure, but one of the three, Constantine (that's right, I remembered his name as well), told Ashley "Hey, look over there!"  When she turned to look, he ran out.

So my question is this.   If J.P. ends up marrying Ashley (that's right, I remembered his name), will they look back on thier courtship and laugh.   Will J.P. say things like "Remember that time you slept with whathisname a few hours before me?" (I don't remember the wine guy's name).   And will Ashely giggle and say "Oh yeah, that's when I wanted to marry you both?"

 Am I the only one who's uncomfortable with this?  And does anyone know if I can get the night's out takes on the DVD?
