WORST TV OF THE WEEK

What horriffic trash stunk up the airwaves? Each week, a new review on TV's worst.
 


What's that smell? I think it might be Jessica Simpson.

WEEK OF 2/06/05: THE BACHELORETTE

This one was almost as painful to watch as “Are You My Dad?” but since that wasn’t on this week, here’s your weekly wiener!

So here we are AGAIN with Miss Jen Schefft, looking for love with the final six men who, quite frankly, all look like rejected extras from a Backstreet Boys video. The guys' task for the night was to write a "secret" love letter to Jen. Jen would then choose her two favorite letters, taking their corresponding writers out for one-on-one dates. And yes, you heard me right. LOVE LETTERS. Because we're in 4th grade.

Thanks to advanced technological breakthroughs, we at Pophangover are proud to be able to bring you a screencap of one of the letters:

Poor Jen, however could she pick just TWO letters from the fine specimens she received? She tried to make it look like her challenge was harder than Bill Nye the Science Guy after catching that new Discovery Channel special on erupting volcanoes. But, nonetheless, Jen found a way to weed out the ones she liked the most. 

Ryan was lucky winner #1. The two lovebirds went on a whimsical fire truck ride throughout the city... with Ryan acting like Pinocchio on his first date as a ‘real boy’ the entire time. And his nose wasn't the only thing expanding a few inches, if you know what I'm saying. And I think that you do.

Jerry (whose response to why he’s ready to get married was an oh-so-romantic “I’m not sure why”) was lucky winner #2. They danced, they snuggled, they made out like 7th graders who just realized kissing was more fun than typing the word "BOOBIES" into a calculator.

**Warning**

If you are a college student or an alcoholic, please do not read the next sentence, as it may be incredibly disturbing to you:

Jerry and Jen left two full glasses of wine on the table when they left!  Alcohol Abuse! The horror!

**End Warning**

The remaining 4 losers didn't get one-on-one dates with Jen. They instead were awarded the chance to look like idiotic Chef Boyardee imposters while making pizzas with her:

The third "surprise" date went to the man who got to the top of the Empire State Building the fastest from ten blocks away and with no money to bargain with. Wendell, the old man of the group, managed to make it there first by promising a New York cabbie a $300 wire transfer. Say it with me people, GIVE ME A BREAK. Who the hell was the driver, gullible Rose Nyland from the Golden Girls?

Ben then made a pathetic, corny attempt to win over Jen’s affections before the rose ceremony. Let's just say he stopped short of singing a "Bette Midler" tune. And the “shocking” ending no one would see coming was as clear as Ruben Studdard's booking schedule: Fabrice didn’t feel that ‘connection’ he thought he should in order to stay in the game (I think he was actually feeling a ‘connection’ to John Paul, if you want the truth). But in the end, where Fabrice likes it best, he and Ben were the ones to go.
