ben.....and steve

I think it was about 12 years ago when reality tv first started, and before I watched any of it I pretty much decided it wasn't for me.  I didn't see the first Survivor, but everyone was talking about it so much that when they re-ran it I watched and I was hooked.  I didn't see the first American Idol either, but have tuned in for at least part of most every season since.  And I held out much longer for the Bachelor and Bachelorette Series.  I've only seen a couple of seasons all the way through.  But it's kind of like seeing a couple of police cars on the side of the road--you gotta look to see if you can see something.

So...last season, The Bachelorette--Ashley, Ben and what's his name--and she picks what's his name.  I kinda thought Ben was a bit sappy but cute and so was Ashley, perfect couple right?  He had no idea that he would not be chosen.  And I really liked that he got a bit angry--no sugar coating allowed.  So I was looking forward to this season of the Bachelor.  And I must admit that Ben does seem more interesting even witty in some of his comments. But still a little clueless with regard to his choices.  Unless...do you think maybe they force these guys to choose at least 2 or 3 totally inappropiate women just to create conflict on the show?

Now Steve.  I put Mobbed on my DVR because I like Howie Mandel, have since St. Elsewhere.  So when I watched the latest episode I absolutely fell in love with Steve--five year phone relationship with a girl who likes bad boys with tatoos and she says yes!!!  Maybe I was tired and stressed from a difficult day at work, but I must admit I started to tear up a bit when they got to the Journey song.  There's sappy and then there's sappy and you never know what's gonna make you cry.  How is that for a song title?
