Sean, I'll Date You

I have a secret obsession.  And it really isn't so secret.  I am obsessed with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.  

I know, I know, every girl says that - but I'm serious.  

I remember watching the pilot with Bachelor Alex in 2002.  

I remember how in high school my dad started watching it so that he could have a shot at talking to me on Monday nights.  

I remember how ugly Trista's bangs looked during her wedding special in 2003. 

I remember rooting for the other guy when the ladies got to choose their bachelor during Season 6.  

I'm the reason this show still exists. The only season I have ever missed was Prince Lorenzo's...and that was only because I was living in Africa without electricity. Stupid Africa. 

I could be embarrassed about this little obsession - but to be honest, considering all the shows on my DVR, this one might be the least embarrassing (Gigolos, anyone?).

Well, Season 17 is upon us and let me tell you - I love Sean!  He is just my type: humble, sporty, smart.  

I'm still upset that the season I auditioned for was for dumbass Brad Womack!

And so, to celebrate this momentous event, I give you: The Bachelor Bracket.

It is a bracket of the winners, the losers, and the crazies.  In order to win, one should really take copious notes during the episodes.  And do outside research.  And consider historical trends.  

There are already 11 girls in my pool.  You might think we're insane.  You might think we should get some hobbies.  I just think that finally, finally, finally I understand the appeal of fantasy football. 

Let the roses begin.
