Snot bubble: reflections on The Bachelor

February 24, 2012

If a missionary overseas could get access to American television, what would they watch? Jamie Wright, who bills herself as “The Very Worst Missionary” finds herself drawn to The Bachelor, even though she admits that it’s a guilty pleasure:

“Not gonna lie, it tweaks my heart a little when they interview the dumped girl as they drive her away in a limo. It kinda gets to me when she does that squeaking, gasping, crying thing, and then she croaks out her rejected dismay from behind a snot bubble. I can practically hear what’s left of her tattered soul, begging the universe for answers – “If I can’t find love on the Bachelor, then how will I ever snag a man before all my eggs shrivel up?!” I want to reassure her that she’ll be okay as they send her packing with nothing but a broken heart and, presumably, a cold sore.”

Read the rest of the post here. Jamie’s perspective is both funny and profound. But be forewarned, her language can be a bit salty.

Do you have a guilty pleasure when it comes to television?
