Bachelorette Firt Impressions

Monday night kicked off the 6th season of The Bachelorette. I was so happy to learn it would be Ali, last season's bachelor contestant that chose her job over Jake. But, if I had been in her position I would have done the same thing. Jake was choosing between her and a yucky Vienna, she won in that situation. However, this season is full of eccentric bachelors that I want to root for and poke fun at--at the same time. Its a really unique group and clearly about half of them are there to steal the show.

In the first episode alone, we witnessed some pretty weird antics including a pee-pee dance, a cubic zirconium ring proposal, several roses given to Ali and a flip off the top of the limo. But those are actually pretty tame compared to the other things we saw on the show (or previewed), which really makes one think about things men will do just to get a girl's attention. Here are my picks for worst first impressions of the night:

First things first, 'Rated R' is really just Ridiculous. Not only is he an entertainment wrestler, but he's not afraid to tell anyone and everyone about it. He even had his own T-shirt on under his dress shirt. I think he's out for himself and the publicity the show will bring him. Ding, ding, it's already working because we googled him during the show just to see what he was all about. EXACTLY what he was hoping we'd do.

Second, Kyle - This guy has "weirdness" written all over him. Though there's nothing wrong about being a hunter, there's just something really disturbing about his love for stuffed animals. It also doesn't help that he threatened to take (and eat) the first impression rose off the table. His odious words, ''If I eat it I can take it into my soul forever and no one else can have it,'' pretty much sums it up.

Third, Craig M. - The hair guy from Toronto. He thinks he has McDreamy's hair, though he doesn't look one bit like Patrick Demsey and his suit was way too tight. He's also cocky and says really random things that he thinks are funny, like bring up Ali's romantic archenemy, Vienna. Not exactly a good conversation topic in my book, but I guess Ali bought it, since she kept Craig M. in the running.

Finally, Derrick, aka "Shooter" - Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes to hear premature ejaculation stories on national television, let alone on a first date. That's why Ali's ''What the f---?'' reaction upon hearing Derrick's story about how he got his nickname Shooter was spot-on. It's a good thing Ali's smart enough to spot a creep and, oh so fittingly, Shooter exited the show early. But left upset as if he thought his little story would expose him and make him stand out. Oh he stood out alright... haha!

Overall I think this season is going to be packed with drama and I really hope cute little Ali finds the man of her dreams and lives happily ever after, even if it makes for better TV for her not to.
