So, this season… let’s face it… is going to be cheesy!! From the first moment they started Jake’s intro, I was laughing out loud! All of the shirtless moments of running, weightlifting, walking on the beach, and pondering in the sunset, coupled with the longest list of overdone “pilot” puns, had me wondering if there was any way I could make it through even the first episode. I know the intros are always cheesy, but have they always been this bad? Maybe I need another episode or two to become numb to it.

So I convinced myself that I may only be watching this season for “entertainment” purposes. Watching some of those girls get out of the limo got ridiculous; half of them brought something along to help them stand out, the other half flaunting their “assets,” including one model who totally posed for the camera as she got out. Hmmm, she’s not here for publicity, is she?

Anyway, while I thought much of it was ridiculous, I was, of course, hooked by the end. The drama that will potentially happen this season has me intrigued. I know they have to come up with new things… but what is it going to be this time? And I’m sure as we see more, I will be rooting for a specific girl or two. I don’t have too much to say at this point. Like many of the reality shows, it takes me a while to find out who my favorites are. I don’t think Vienna will stay long, and Michelle… really? That girl is an emotional roller coaster! One of the girls said it best- it’s good to come here to fall in love, but not if you’re desperate. And clearly Michelle is desperate. I give her one more week.
