Season Premiere "Sneak Peeks"

So I came across two different clips today that both say they offer a sneak peek into Monday's season premiere of The Bachelor. And let me tell you, they do not disappoint.

Here's the first one:

In it, we see a sweet young thing/hooker who arrives to the party wearing a very skimpy flight attendant outfit complete with sparkly white gloves and a polka-dot scarf around her neck. She sashays into the room and interrupts Jake talking with another young lovely. The reactions from the women are great, but the writers should have fed them better lines than, "We should tell her that her flight has been evacuated!" THAT'S the best they could do?! Evacuated? Not "canceled" or "delayed", which would have been funnier? How 'bout, "The Mile High Club called, and your membership is now revoked." or "Coffee, tea, or ee-YEW!" C'mon writers, we expect more from you than that! I loved the interview with the blonde wagging her head and hand all over the place. And why were her eyes closed for almost her whole interview segment? What's SHE hiding?

Of course, the highlight of this clip is when Jake tells the porno flight attendant, "You look good!" just as the camera goes to a shot of her ass and thigh hanging out of her too-short skirt. Her parents must be so proud.

Oh...and don't you think that this flight attendant girl kinda looks like the red-headed school counselor from Glee just with dark hair? Ponder that while you wait for the next clip to load.

In the second clip, things get physical as one girl brings out a football and plays some catch with Jake.

She interrupts Jake's talk with the slutty flight attendant and we get a great shot of the flight attendant's sparkly gloves lingering on Jake's hands as if to say, "Please don't go Jake! I was just about to tell you about my cockpit!" (Sorry...if the writers on the show can make bad pilot jokes, so can I!)

This clip is notable for four reasons. First, I love the girl's reaction when the other women come streaming out to join in the game. "Uh oh!" she says as they all come out to rain on her parade. I'm also just going to say it here: her dress makes her boobs look way lower than they probably really are. I know it's shallow to harp on physical stuff like that, but this is reality TV which we all know is pretty fake anyway, so anything goes. You guys can make fun of my boobs too.

Second, this is the least testosterone-y game of football ever (Sorry Phoebe...had to steal your line). The shrieks and giggles and hands clenched up to mouths. The running in heels. Blondes versus brunettes. There is not one thing about this football game that says football. And that's why it's on The Bachelor.

Bigger than that, though, is that this clip marks the first of probably hundreds of times that someone on this show will say the word "Amazing". We'll keep count as we go through the season, but Jake seems to say it first here.

Lastly, we know that Jake's a pilot so it stands to reason that we will be getting a LOT of incorrect flying references this year. In this clip, Jake tells us, "The seatbelt sign is on!" when talking about the girl with the football. What does that have to do with playing catch with her? He'd rather be strapped into his seat than play with her? This little clip makes me hunger for more misused metaphors and similes as the season goes on. I'm sure we won't be disappointed. I can only hope that Jake screws up pronouns as much as Jason did during his season ("She and me told he and her that we and them are going out."). My life would be complete then.

I'm heading out of town tomorrow for a few days of much-needed R&R, but I will try to post something while I am away. Even if I don't, make sure to tune in Monday night for The Bachelor season premiere and then check back here for the latest about what went down. Oh, and Happy New Year!
