"The Bachelor" Once Again Promises the Most Exciting Season Ever

I have to admit that I only watched the Fall, 2007 debut of "The Bachelor" because it was on directly after ABC's juggernaut "Dancing With The Stars." In reality, I believe this show should have been cancelled two years ago. It has become an embarrassment with bachelor after bachelor declaring that he's "found the love his life" only to dump, or get dumped by, the girl within a matter of months.

The dates are too staged and the situation too unrealistic. However, there is something about watching a bunch of women, who ought to know better, act like fools vying for the attention of a single guy.

This year's bachelor is, once again, touted as "the sexiest bachelor" ever. How many times have we heard that line? More than I can remember, that's for sure.

This year's meat being thrown to the lions, is Brad Womack, a 34-year-old self-made man and entrepreneur from Austin, Texas. He already owns two successful bars and is building a hotel. He admits to being a self-made millionaire.

Brad, however, envies his two brothers who are already married and claims that he wants to find the right girl to settle down with and start a family. He's apparently not afraid of hard work either, having worked in the oil fields and tended bar to save enough money to purchase his first business.

As usual, the show started off with the bachelor meeting a bevy of beauties, all present just to get his attention. There is no denying that this year's crop of women are beautiful and a few are even highly accomplished. The real question is, are any of them sane?

There seemed to be more ladies who couldn't hold their liquor this year and their behavior was more than slightly inappropriate. One beauty lost part of her fake chest while another turned herself into a human pretzel. Then there was the girl who donned a bikini seemingly out of no where and promptly went for a swim.

Still, before the night was over, Brad managed to narrow the list of beauties down from 25 to 15, which included:
