The Bachelor: 5 Necessary Additions

Let's make Bachelor Mondays even better.

Feb 01, 2016

As the 20th season of the Bachelor unfolds, we cannot help for this year's "perfect" man. Maybe these additions with help Ben Higgins find that top-notch love himself.

1. Mints or chewing gum.

It seems like a valid prediction that Chris Soules, famous for his good looks and farm-ish charm, is also well-known for kissing every woman that made it past his season premiere.

But as week five approaches, Ben Higgins might just be stealing that title. Even though he is the cutest bachelor to date, which woman really wants to be the third or fourth stop on that saliva train?

Ben, while trying to find the girl to spend the rest of your life with (on national television), chew a piece of gum before you kiss her!

2. Tissues.

The Bachelor is a fan favorite television show starting in a beautiful mansion that travels to some of the most exotic places in the world. It’s hard to imagine how tissue boxes (that cost at most 3$ each) are not in the budget.

After 19 seasons full of tears from not only women, but men too, Kleenex definitely sound like a good investment.

3. Cut-offs from alcohol.

It seems that with every new season, the contestants somehow have a lower tolerance for alcohol than the ones before.

Although drunk contestants make for great reality tv, after Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “horned up” contestant Ryan, and Lace’s famous oaths to "not being crazy,” I’d say it’s about time the producers start to replace bottles of wine and beer, with bottles of water.

4. A synonym for the word dramatic.

There’s a very good chance that Chris Harrison refers to every season as the “most dramatic one yet.” If you’ve been a loyal member of Bachelor Nation since Alex Michel (Bachelor 1), you’ll be the first to notice that unlike the style of first night gowns and hairstyles, vocabulary hasn’t changed much.

5. Speaking of overdue modifications… a replacement for the word amazing is definitely in store.

Week after week, every interview after each date, the contestant describes their day or night, the overall experience, or the bachelor himself as “amazing.”

What happened to that jar from Chris Soules’ season? The one where a dollar was added every time we heard “amazing?" I’d definitely like to have that money to spend.

Here's to another extra dramatic season!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
