A couple of weeks ago, the eleventh season of The Bachelorette aired on ABC. Now, I had only been introduced to this pop culture phenomenon when I watched my first season of The Bachelor a couple of months ago. I wrote all about that experience in a previous article. Feel free to check it out. Right now. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
Welcome back. As I was saying, I have only seen one season of The Bachelor, and I found it extremely interesting. I was excited to see how it this process would work reversed on The Bachelorette. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Just as I learned many things while watching The Bachelor, I have also learned many things over these past couple of weeks while watching The Bachelorette. But mainly, I realized that I would be perfect for this show.
Here are the some of the many reasons as to why I should be the next Bachelorette contestant:
I’m single. Simple enough but also tremendously important. I am not currently involved in any relationship which would conflict with this televised quest to find love. I believe this is one of, if not the, biggest factor in choosing who should be the leading lady in this reality television show centered around love.
I’m a people person. I find it extraordinarily easy to talk to and meet people. Being on The Bachelorette, I would have to meet around 25 men and try my best to get to know each and every one of them. And let’s be honest, not all of them are going to be interesting and great. I would be the friendliest and most open person they had ever talked to in their entire lives. Just before I cut them at the knees and send them packing without a rose (insert smile here).
I’m surprisingly good at remembering names. Listen, don’t try to tell me that past Bachelorette and Bachelor contestants were able to memorize everyone’s name in one night without help from someone behind the camera. Well with me, they wouldn’t have to worry about that one bit. I’d make everyone’s job that much easier and know every name by heart before the first rose ceremony even starts. Now that’s what I call professionalism.
I naturally speak loudly. Everyone on these shows have to have microphones on them 24/7 so that every word spoken and every conversation had can be caught. I naturally talk loud, so there’s one less microphone to worry about. I just saved them money. Aren’t I great?
I’m naturally dramatic. Fun fact: I grew up doing musical theater, so I know a thing or two about dramatics. I say what’s on my mind, and I’m not afraid to cry in front of people. I would be great for ratings. And after finding me a soul mate, getting good ratings is number two on the priorities list for this show. Just imagine how great those rose ceremonies would be.
I’d be okay with being the center of attention. 25 men all competing for my hand in marriage?  A tad barbaric, but I mean, I guess I could get used to that.
Now, I know what you must be thinking. ABC get a hold of her now and put her on the show. We want her to be the next Bachelorette! But, sadly, I must inform you that the age requirement to be a part of this fantastic show is 21, and I am only 19. But if I’m already this perfect for the show now, imagine how much better I will be for it in two years. But hey, if the University of Oregon ever decides to hold its own version of the popular reality show, you know where to find me.
