Pre-Gaming the Bachelor 1/3

I hate Mondays for a lot of reasons. An unusually full inbox. An eager alarm clock. A hangover from late-night Sunday shows (Mad Men and Brothers and Sisters anyone?). A five-day wait for the next weekend.

Today, I loathe them less. Today, the umpteenth season of The Bachelor franchise begins. Today, Brad Womack begins resumes his quest for true love via fame-seeking twenty-somethings.

Am I excited? In a word - YES. I was out of the country for Brad's first go at love, and will only get the therapy-laden version of the forty-something and all the artificial drama ABC can create. You know where I'll be every Monday night. I hope you join...

Disclaimer: Last season I showed incredible promise in the business of predictions. Please keep your expectations in check. I'm not sure I have what it takes to make a repeat performance. But I'll sure try.
