REVIEW: The Bachelor 2019 - Peter Weber




I, like thousands of American women, watch The Bachelor reality show.  I don't know why I do it, but I do.  It's one of those "guilty pleasures" that we so often indulge in.  Thirty women, most in their early to mid-twenties, vie for the love of The Bachelor.  The Bachelor is sometimes chosen because they are apart of the ABC Network "bachelor family" or because they have qualities that seem to make America want to watch them find love.  Not to mention, most of them are handsome, if not in appearance alone.

I thought of diving into an explanation of the show and the history that it has (it's been around since 2002) but instead, I just want to give my opinion on this last season of the Bachelor.  

I didn't like Peter Weber! I don't know if it is because I am older now, old enough to be his mother, but I just did not feel that the guy was "marriage" material.  Sure, he is a pilot, cool.  But the 28-year old still lives with Mommy & Daddy, doesn't seem to think with anything other than his "manhood" and didn't display one ounce of maturity throughout the season.  I'm sure he is a nice guy and all, but, in my opinion, he did not make for a very good Bachelor.  And don't get me started on the continuous interruptions in the season from his annoying Mom - definitely a "mama's boy".

On another note, I hear The Bachelor franchise is thinking of making a season with an "older" Bachelor (65+).  That would be great - as long as they have equally aged contestants.  However, most men that age want younger women (at least to become their second wives).  For marriage number 3, they will settle for someone their age - right? (tongue-in-cheek)
