ladies, will you accept this rose?

here's a vaguely (or possibly very) embarrassing admission: even though i'm a girl who works as a scholar for a living and am supposed to be very high-brow and la-di-da and all that, i still watch the bachelor like it's going out of style. it's like a "real" soap opera, and i've always secretly loved those. i've been super-hooked on this season, but less so since my girl jillian was booted a few weeks ago. fingers crossed that she's the next bachelorette -- love her!

i've heard that there's all sorts of weird behind-the-scenes drama that's going to go down tonight on the show. hmm ... we shall see!
