Historically, reality TV hasn't really been my thing. Admittedly, I low-key love Catfish and I've caught a few episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but I've effectively managed to evade shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette because I never understood what all the hype was about. It's a dating show, right? But everyone's dating one person at once? And getting a rose is really important for some reason? Armed with a glass of wine, I finally decided to take the plunge and see what's so fascinating about watching a bunch of guys in suits trying to impress the same woman — and I SO didn't know what I was in for.
From the corny pickup lines to the unexpected fence jumping and dramatic twists, it's definitely full of never-ending surprises. So, whether you've been a fan since the very beginning or you're in the same boat as I am, read on to hear my first impression of season fifteen and the 25 (!!!) guys trying, and already failing, to win Hannah's heart.
Well that was an adventure, to say the least. As far as taking the show seriously and becoming invested in who makes it to the end, I don't think I'm quite there yet, but I will say that I enjoyed myself and definitely had a few laughs along the way. While longtime fans might argue that I should go back and watch a few past seasons to get a real feel for the show, I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to remember that many names all at once. Connor is my favorite so far, though, so I might just give the show another shot next time I'm craving a little bit of drama.
