blogging the bach...19.1

another season of the bachelor started last night. i don't watch tv really ever, but i am obsessed with the bachelor. come back every tuesday for my weekly bach caps. i don't usually post straight recaps.   i love all the bach posts and commentary so make sure to link up if you post. i'm looking for co-hosts so comment or email me if you're interested.  one final thing before we get started on week 1. spoilers are no fun. please don't post them.

the show was 3 freaking hours. i love the bach, but that's a lot of tv. it easily could have been condensed to 2.
intro to chris, his family, and his farm wife photo shoot (how awkward but when you're the bachelor i guess you have to get used to it. i am doing a little better now, but fashion photo shoots for this blog make me feel all kinds of awkward) new shirtless bachelor??? sean and catherine update on life bachelor babies- "on the radar" we get a recap of his bach experience-good plug for his book-preorder to hear all the bach scoop marcus and lacey still engaged-can't say i care a whole lot about them andy and josh ready to taste all the food and drink all the wine to prep for the wedding. i'm still hoping the wedding is on tv. my prediction is we might have an announcement after des and chris get married. niki recap break up with juan pabs--i'm pretty happy we don't have to hear about/from him on a regular basis anymore we see a few intro videos and hear some classic bach lines britt "it's hard to be single in LA" "i'm a very touchy person" jillian "i suppose some guys are intimidated by me" "finding love is a competition" amanda answer to why she's still single (embarassed monkey emoji) whitney "every day i am reminded of something i'm missing" "i think you just said corn is your favorite food-to her dog" mackenzie "i already have a special man in my life" alissa "smoking is prohibited unless you're smoking hot:
the hours and hours of limo entrances start 
first impressions+commentary i watched tonight with celsey, her husband shawn (who fakes to hate it), her sister in law amanda and friend alexis and our friend melissa. the best part of watching with a group is all the comments. we'll def hear more from them in the next few weeks.

the previews look super crazy. i was a little worried about this season being a tiny bit boring, but i'm pretty sure i don't have anything to worry.
