We all could use a distraction right now, so here I am, having never watched more than two random minutes of THE BACHELOR or any other dating show, half-watching the premiere of THE BACHELOR PRESENTS: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART while I curate. This is the one, in case you haven't been paying attention, where all the contestants, 12 men and eight women, are musicians, where a recording session at CAPITOL STUDIOS is a plausible first date, and where "I like your lips" and "I wrote, like, verse chorus, but ideally I wanna finish the song with you" are equally viable pickup lines. "'The Bachelor' Crossed With 'A Star Is Born'" is how more than one reviewer sees it. Seems more like THE BACHELORETTE crossed with the PLAIN WHITE T'S to me. Tomato tomahto. The eight women each give a rose to one man at the end, leaving the other four men to go home while apparently establishing our couples for the rest of the season. Which is my only true disappointment. I wanted RIHANNA or CARLY RAE JEPSEN to walk through the door and kick a bunch of people out because their songs sucked and there's work to do. But maybe a real-life songwriting camp challenge is still to come? Here's hoping. Good news in the meantime: "I like your lips" guy has been sent home. "Verse chorus" guy is moving forward. Let that be a lesson...
