Somehow “The Bachelorette” sucked me in last season. Don’t ask me how, it just did. I vowed to never darken my boob tube again with such an obvious lack of judgment.

But alas, it has happened again. I’ve been sucked in to next season’s “Bachelor” thanks to this weeks announcement on “Dancing With the Stars” that last season’s jilted airline pilot/boy scout Jake is the next bachelor.

I picked Jake out of the crowd during the very first episode of last season’s “Bachelorette”. Who wouldn’t love a guy who was that sincere, honest, and chock full of integrity? How do I know all these things? Geez, can’t you tell by just looking at him??

He did kinda prove me right when he swooped in to save Jillian from not only Wes but also from herself. Too bad his efforts were met with dippy Jill trying to figure things out for herself. Someday she’s gonna kick herself for letting Jake go.

My “Bachelor” viewing pals, sister Theresa and pal Penelope, are thrilled to have me aboard for this upcoming season. We shall see how long that lasts! We didn’t see eye to eye last season. I think Jillian made a HUGE mistake picking Ed while my sister thought he was a good choice.

Maybe what I need to do is put all that unpleasantness behind me and start with a fresh perspective. Old dog, new tricks? Who am I kidding? Bring it on ABC and color me jaded!
