“elaney, I thought that Jake that was kicked off the ‘Bachela-ette’ was so cute! How do you think you could meet him?!” -eMum
It’s bach! As you all know, The Bachelor is our favorite reality television show. And while like Shakira’s music, every one is pretty much like the other one, we still love it (”Whenever, Whereever” it comes out). So tonight is the big season premiere, and our DVR has been set for weeks. We’re happy to see that blondes are back in the Bachelor / Bachelorette franchise (even though our man Jake “On the Wings of Love” Pavelka is a little much. Hopefully he’ll make good TV. Way to get “Find men in 2010″ of to a good, festive start! What do you think – are you tuning in or tuning out?

Well here we are again, deep in the dregs of another teenage phenomenon. Not to be a downer, but we just don’t know. Are you kind of over it by now? It’s like, first we fell in love with Pacey and Joey and the crew at the Creek. Then all of a sudden they move to Boston and get weird and what to do then? Next our hearts bled for sweet lost Marissa and cute Summer and Seth. Then – to the tune of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, Marissa dies and so do the plot lines. Soon after, Gossip Girl restored our faith in the overprivileged youth, but then Nate and Vanessa started dating, and we just couldn’t buy it. It’s like, we can’t be left disappointed by our fictional friends anymore. How much heartbreak can a hopeful viewer take?!? Even in the best case scenario, you eventually reach book 7. So, we don’t know if we can handle the same story, New Moon again. What do you think? Are you throwing caution to the wind and headed to the Wednesday night premiere of New Moon? Or have phenomenons about teenage angst lost their luster?

Considering the trailer has led us to a stream of tears twice already, we are scared to see this movie, but very much looking forward to it. Precious has received some solid press, as it has been blowing film festivals out of the water AND Mariah Carey “gets ugly.” Set in Harlem in 1987, Precious is the story of a sixteen-year-old African-American girl pregnant for the second time by her absent father. Beneath her impassive expression is a watchful, curious young woman with an inchoate but unshakeable sense that other possibilities exist for her. (paraphrased from RT). Just thinking about the theme song is risky. Verdict? Waterworks.

“elaney, I thought that Jake that was kicked off the ‘Bachela-ette’ was so cute! How do you think you could meet him?!” -eMum
Looks like eMum has her answer, as Jake is the new Bachelor! We were pulling for Reid. It’s better when the bachelor/ette is a little more sarcastic and a little less cheese.
However, this sounds legit: according to Pavelka’s parents, Jim and Sallie (cute names), “He likes a girl that is spontaneous. The way he put it to me, he would like a girl that can work in the yard and then put on a pretty dress and go out to dinner.” Read more here.
The new season begins filming in a few days, and the show premieres in early 2010. What do you think about the lastest man to find love on TV?
