We are huge fans of ABC’s entire ‘Bachelor’ franchise, including “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” “Bachelor Pad” and anything else we can freakishly follow to keep tabs on all the situations swirling around the shows’ current and former castmates. We love how silly the shows are. We love how serious the shows are. We love LOVE. We love 2-on-1s. We love fantasy suites. We love how professional Chris Harrison is at all times and how serious he takes his role as host-slash-armchair-love-advisor-on-how-to-find-”the one”-in-a-mere-9-weeks. We love the niche aspects of the show, like when a contestant goes rogue and the boom-mic-holder has to chase them down. Or when Chris Harrison is forced to speak off-the-cuff to a Bachelor or Bachelorette in need of immediate advice. Or when the awesome picnic that’s set up next to a waterfall on a 1on1 date gets completely and randomly abandoned by the couple. Or when some behind-the-scenes dude with a greasy ponytail shows up at the mansion to yank away the packed suitcase of a date reject. You get the idea…
We are also really grounded and very serious about the bevy of situations happening at all hours of the day/night around the globe. And we love an amazing juxtaposition. Hence, our site: Ok, here is the situation. We believe whole-heartedly in the “80/20 rule.” Thus, for those of you that are overly obsessed with reality TV, we bring you the best of the best situations reality TV has to offer: all things ‘Bachelor.’ But we also bring you real world situations that might pique your interest and your passion as readily and as excitedly as ABC’s amazing televised offerings do. Or, perhaps you are overly obsessed with the harsh realities happening out there in the real world. Perhaps you’re so bummed out by all the harshness (which we will be serving up on our site because we care, too) that you could benefit from a bit of the escapism that the world of reality TV (read: ‘The Bachelor’) can provide.
There are situations happening all around us. Some big. Some small. Some small, but seemingly big to some. And vice versa. And, the writers/editors of this site (Hi!) are total situations in and of themselves. We are situation prone. So expect to also see bits and bytes from our own lives on here too. Because, well…..Ok, here’s the situation…
