As some of you know I watch the bachelor. I came out last season. It's all so over the top, the girls, the "romance" and the giving of roses, it has a way of just sucking me in; and I'm okay with that…For now at least…

What intrigues me most about the show is how emotional these people get on a live in reality TV show that pits women against each other in a competition…for "love." As if the show is actually about finding love rather than just finding a winner. As the show goes on and more and more women go home, things always get more serious. There's always someone who is overly competitive, but in general they all profess to be falling in love with a man they have to share with the other women in the house.

Last night the show seemed especially serious. All of the women were hating on Robyn who apparently was under the impression that the show was a competition; go figure. Several times during the course of the episode, the Bachelor Matt Grant (and English gentleman) made a point to tell the women that he was there to find a wife and that each and every decision to cut someone was a difficult one.

Perhaps the most shocking moment of the night was when Marshana returned from her two on one date with Matt and Holly. All of the others seemed super surprised, but I could tell he was not all that interested in the other girl. Personally, I was not surprised at all since Matt continues to appear interested in Marshana while his interest is Holly was always questionable. If he is in fact there to find a wife, it's a good idea to spend more time with someone you think could potentially be a mate.

With only a few more women from whom to choose, it's getting down to the wire and emotions are running high. It will be interesting to see who wins. I'm sure the producers are hoping that Matt doesn't cop-out the same way that Brad did on the last season and not pick anyone. That would be pretty funny.
