I consider myself to be a woman of marginal to impeccable taste.
Peter the Pilot
Truly, I do. On my “on” days, my humble abode is exquisitely decorated, I clothe myself in stylish apparel, and I cook deliciously nutritious meals for my loved ones and me.
And on my “off” days?
I lollygag on the sofa in my pjs, swilling beer, stuffing my gob with Pirate’s Booty, and watching The Bachelor on TV.
Oh, the humanity.
I do take heart in the knowledge that I am not alone. The Bachelor has millions of fans the world over…throngs who count the minutes until Monday evenings at 7 pm Central Standard Time before indulging in the train wreck that is arguably the most popular reality show on television. We…Bachelor Nation, that is…take great delight in following the escapades of The Bachelor, cheering for our favorite female contestants, hurling Pirate’s Booty at the screen when villainesses rear their coiffed heads, and generally hooting and hollering at the often ridiculous yet undeniably entertaining shenanigans that ensue for two hours each Monday.
Some go so far as to participate in Bachelor viewing parties. They gather at a girlfriend’s home to watch as a group and enjoy said shenanigans as a gaggle.
But not I. Nosirreeee.
To sure, I do host a viewing party of sorts, but it is a Virtual Viewing Party. *insert air quotes*
What is a Virtual Viewing Party, *again with the air quotes* you ask?
Well. Anywhere from half a dozen to a hundred or so guests hop onto my Facebook page while viewing The Bachelor and share out observations, commentary, and general sass with one another in a thread of comments, photos, and GIFs (that’s Graphic Interchange Format to the layman or laywoman.) We hoot and holler and hurl Booty and have ourselves a fine time without leaving the comfort of our homes. There are even weekly prizes for the top commenters and a grand prize after the final rose ceremony.
It’s the place to be, friends.
Want in on the action?
Of course you do.
Click here to RSVP for this highly exclusive, weekly event. Everyone and their dog is invited.
Confused about how this event goes down? I’ll shoot a live video tutorial on The Spin Cycle Facebook page at 3 pm on Sunday, January 5 and break it down for you.
Invite friends! Bring snacks and cocktails! Wear your comfies!
See you soon, friends, for what promises to be the most dramatic…the most shocking…and the most entertaining season in Bachelor history.
