I Choose Me

Yep.

I had a feeling the Jeniminator wouldn’t accept a marriage proposal on The Jen Schefft Bachelorette Experience from the very first episode but, even for those who think she was an idiot for turning down Jerry, aren’t you glad she said “No” now instead of nine months down the road?

Sure, now People and Entertainment Weekly can’t do the flowers and hugs feature story on how Jen finally found love after Andrew and the subsequently catty and mean story when they eventually break up but…oh well.

I wanted to smack her friends who kept saying that Jen should “take a chance.” Bull. Maybe when you’re 18 or 21 you can be impetuous and risky and throw caution to the wind when it comes to marriage but when you’re 29, you need to make an intelligent, informed decision or you’ll be divorced in six months. Take it from Auntie Snarky.

Plus…guys…don’t pick the “delicate” ring. Ladies, don’t pick the “delicate” ring. I cringed when I saw the engagement ring Jen (and Dope John Paul) fawned over because all I could think of was that 2.5 carat diamond flying through the air if Jen tripped and wound up skidding across the sidewalk because the thin band couldn’t handle the force of the impact. As it was, my rather sturdy platinum bands took a beating.

{{shudder}}

I’m guessing the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise is on it’s way out. If you can’t find love for Jen Schefft, America’s sweetheart (Trista’s married, so she can’t be it anymore)…you might as well just pack it in and start showing episodes of Boss Swap.

Oh wait. ABC’s doing that next week.
