Team Reid

I’m on Team Reid. Especially on Team Reid with Glasses. If you don’t watch The Bachelorette, you have no idea what I’m talking about. Those who do watch will either think I’m crazy or spot on. However, I’m not on Team Reid for Jillian, especially after seeing last night’s After the Final Rose. Reid for the next Bachelor. How does this always happen? Brad dumps Deanna who dumps Jason who dumps Jill who dumps Reid who dumps…

But really, I watch this show for the train wreck, textbook romantic dates (who really goes on a date in a helicopter over Hawaii followed by a candlelight dinner followed by an awkward moment where you must decide if you will accept a card from a television host that gives you permission and a room key to a suite with candles, champagne, a tub full of bubbles, and various massage oils), and the possibility of a fairy tale proposal at the end (though I’ll take my picnic in the park with a very nervous Mr. H any day).

Ed and Jill are happy together. Will it last? I don’t know. And frankly I don’t care. If they last, I’m happy for these two people that I’ve never met for finding love. If not, I don’t have to watch them parade around their perfect life in Colorado with a perfect house and two perfect children every time a new season begins and ends. I’ll leave that to Trista and Ryan.

While I’m only halfway opposed to ousted bachelors becoming the next Bachelor, I have a few tricks up my sleeve if Reid does take on that role. Two very close and very single girl friends that are also on Team Reid may or may not allow me to put my marketing skills to use. And they both wash their vegetables.
