The Bachelor - "Crazy, Mean Lesbian Girl"

So…I have this friend that I met when I went back to school to get my MBA. She is kind of loud, way funny, very witty, smart, has a cackle for a laugh, and is super sincere. We have known each other for about three years now. In that time, this friend has become one of my closest and dearest friends and she happens to be the “crazy, mean lesbian girl,” Monica, on this season of The Bachelor. Dun…dun…dun!

I don’t know why I have this overwhelming compulsion to write this…maybe it is because I feel bad about the bad press Monica is getting (although it doesn’t seem to bother her - she is just kind of taking it in stride) or maybe it is that I am protective of my friends, but Monica truly is a decent person and not this alleged “crazy, mean lesbian girl.” Sure, she can be a little wild at times, she drinks too much sometimes, she swears, she would rather play kickball than get dolled up in a dress, and she doesn’t particularly like to hang out with crazy girls, but then again, who does? Now your wild side may not be going on The Bachelor and all that jazz, but it is very fitting for Monica. She is always looking for an adventure, so why not this one, right?!?

Before you judge at face value, take a moment to consider that ABC is in the business of selling shows…well, at least last time I checked. AND obviously “crazy, mean lesbian girl” can do just that. With that being said, I hope you are smart enough to know that they can get very creative with their editing. In fact, we watched the first episode together and had a great laugh (at Monica’s expense of course). :)

There is my two cents. Monica is a good gal! Yes, I said gal because I like that word! Overall, the Bachelor is quite comical…although after watching all those women getting all mushy over a dude after meeting him for about ten seconds, I know why I have never watched the show before. Just a little bit too much for me. I think I will stick to my cooking shows.
