Well, "The Bachelorette" Got Me Hooked Again

I don't usually watch the show, but this season has me hooked.

I'm not typically the girl to swoon over the concept of reality TV. Romance movies and novels, sure, but shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and "Real Housewives" have never been my cup of tea. That being said, shows like this seem to enthrall the majority of the country for reasons we may or may not agree with. One of these shows that have officially become my kryptonite is "The Bachelorette."

This season, Hannah B. (the runner-up from Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor") is setting sail in far-off places to find a man. I've never agreed with the idea of a TV show practically forcing the idea of engagement in a three-month-or-less span, but there's something that keeps me coming back for more.

I can't even remember why I actually tuned in that very first night of the season, but alas, I did. And that's when it all went downhill (I'm being dramatic of course). My mom and I watched as man after man showed up to the mansion. We cringed at the weird introduction packages (anyone remember the "box king?") and swooned at suitors who seemed like a fairytale.

Right off the bat, I knew I liked at least a handful of guys, my favorite being Peter Weber or "Pilot Pete" as he's now known. Unfortunately, I also liked Luke P. for a time, although I think it was really only because he said he was Christian. If we're being honest, the way the show has portrayed him doesn't reflect his proclaimed faith to me, but that's just one gal's opinion. I also rooted for guys like Jed and had my heart crushed when the news surfaced about him having a girl back home. Whether that's true or not, even the rumor of it certainly puts a damper on things.

This season has had its ups and downs. It's made me laugh, scream, and almost cry at points. While I respect Hannah, I will say it's infuriating when she keeps around guys who treat her poorly, not knowing what she truly deserves as a proclaimed daughter of God. There are also obvious things I disagree with from a moral standpoint, but as I said, that's up to Hannah to figure out for herself.

One thing has remained constant, however. I still root for Pilot Pete to this day and, regardless of if he wins Hannah's heart, I'll want a picture if I ever see him in an airport!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
