My thoughts on the Bachelor

I have recently been sucked into yet another brain-draining reality show: the Bachelor.  I don't think I've ever watched a full season before, but I did watch way back when Trista and Ryan got together (is that dating me or what?!).  But . . . the other day I came across this show on ABC.com and thought, what the heck?!  Well, I watched the first four episodes in one day.  One day!  I know, I probably killed a few thousand brain cells in one sitting.  It's a horrific show, I'm not sure what the actual time frame is, but it's just ridiculous.  Yet, I have quite a few questions on how this all works.

1.  In the first episode, I'm assuming that only two or three days were filmed.  So how are these stupid girls saying that they've "fallen" for him after 5 minutes?  And how can you really know that when you're just hoping the other 25 girls around you won't "fall" harder than you?

2.  Why isn't there a stylist to tell the bachelor that he needs a haircut?  Or even to just wash it . . . it's a little bit greasy looking.  Blech.

3.  Why doesn't it dawn on any of them that by kissing this stupid guy that has kissed their 25 roommates, they're all making out with each other?  What if one of them gets mono?  Gross!

4.  Why does he always go for the crazy one?  Seriously, I know he doesn't see what happens when he's not there . . . but does he sign some kind of contract that he'll keep the crazy one around for 80% of the episodes or something?

5.  How do these girls pack for this show?  They are wearing evening gowns every night and cocktail dresses every day.  How many bags are they bringing?  Who's doing their laundry?  Are they shopping while they're there?  What's the wardrobe situation?

6.  Group dates.  What?

What a ridiculous show . . . I wish I could stop watching but I just have to see if he keeps the crazy girl around.  Plus, she's got even crazier eyebrows, and I want to see if any one else notices but me.
