Bachelor Season Premier With the Peeps

Another installment of funny things the peeps said while watching a trashy reality television show, back by popular demand (by the same friends who were watching the show).

The tradition started last season during the bachelorette where we would make food and then watch the show.

Being that this season started during our winter break from college we decided to continue the tradition, even if it was for only one episode.

As Kayla said on Facebook, “shamelessly judging women and eating tacos can only mean the bachelor is back on. I have the best friends ever! :)”

Indeed, Kayla, that’s exactly what happened.

Here are the best one-liners with some context to the show.

They had to tell the whole story of Benf, (we call him Benf, his first name and last initial just as one word, it’s just how we roll), how he was rejected last season, blah, blah, blah. When they got to the part where she rejects him and he doesn’t want her pity Brian said what we were all thinking “He’s acting like a little girl.” Man up, she just rejected you take all the pity she gives, every woman in America now is in love with you.

Of course most of the first episode is showing off all the desperate girls some producer found. During one of the more absurd stories Riley’s mom Rori wondered “where do they find these girls?”

In the promos for the new season they incessantly reminded us a “grandma” was going to have some role in the early episodes. Needless to say, she just brought her grand-daughter, very anti-climatic.

But even grandma provided a moment of comedic relief. “Why is she on crutches?” (Brian) “She broke her hip recently.” (Riley)

She continued to remain a topic of conversation: “Where’s grandma?” (Lauren) “She got run over by a reindeer.” (Kayla)

Then you have the incumbent host Chris Hansen, who, never seems to change despite being the host since the start of time.

“He doesn’t age, he has the Philosopher Stone,” Evan said.

This is the point where we got to start “shamelessly judging” women. The general consensus was the girls that made our favorite first impression were, in no particular order, the horse girl, the if you don’t believe in love at first sight girl, grandma’s girl, the girl that didn’t even introduce herself and the girl that kissed him.

As you will notice we don’t bother remembering their names, after the first few episodes we come up with nicknames for them.

Back to the commentary: “She has some balls,” Brian said after the one girl kissed him when she first met Benf.

There was one girl who was a “VIP Cocktail Waitress,” no joke, because we would have though less of you if you were just a waitress.

That prompted Rori to say “that’s a fancy way of saying women of the evening.”

Brian couldn’t have illustrated our judging process any better with this line. “She looks like Professor Lupin when he is a werewolf.”

The next quote needs context from outside the show. Sarcastically, we associate things with a “z” with being a gangster, this coming from a group of people that grew up in a predominantly white affluent town.

“She’s, like, from the hood,” Riley, on how Lindzi spells her name.

I have no idea why this came up, “Woah, look at those boobs,” Kayla exclaimed.

Looks are a huge topic of conversation, “No offence, but she has horse teeth,” Laura said.

“Don’t walk outside! It’s a full moon,” Riley said when the werewolf girl was eliminated.

“This is as intense as Harry Potter,” Kayla said sarcastically.

And finally we have the irrational need to cause physical harm on the participants, “I want to punch her in the face,” Brian said.

After the premier I polled the viewers and here were our favorite girls.

Matt: Grandma’s girl. Riley: Texas girl. Lauren: Grandma’s girl, Lesbi-honest girl and the Cry baby. Mackenzie: Horse girl. Kayla: Lindzi. Aaron: Jenna.
