Monday night, I was hanging out on Twitter, as I tend to do. If you aren’t on Twitter yet, please join and follow me! It’s so fun, and the more people who do it, the more fun it is. It’s also pretty useful for networking — way better than that LinkedIn bullshit. And I’m even more entertaining in 160 characters than I am on here, sooo…come over and play!
For all you Twitter virgins, who whine, “I don’t get it” and therefore refuse to try it or understand it, the # sign is called a “hash tag” and you use it to describe what you are talking about and other people talking about the same thing can click the hash tag to find other Tweets about it. For example, right now #iPad is a trending topic. There’s always a bunch of serious ones, and then one like #nowTHATSghetto.
(So there you go…my resume doesn’t say “Social Media Consultant” for nothing!)
Anyway, everyone was Tweeting up a storm while watching “The Bachelor.” I do not watch “The Bachelor” because I do not watch much TV in general, and I just can’t get into shows like that. And every time I watch I can’t help but think, “I should really, really be the next Bachelorette.”
So, I threw this out there to the Twitterverse. And…they agreed! Soon #ifrachwasthebachelorette was a hot topic.
Here are some of my reasons….
#ifrachwasthebachelorette The first time I met each guy, when each guy stepped out of the limo and dropped his best line, I’d have no patience for their cheesy stuff. I’d make my “Are you fucking kidding me face?” so much it would freeze that way!
#ifrachwasthebachelorette We’d take tequila shots the first night. Then I’d cut half the guys who can’t hold their liquor.
#ifrachwasthebachelorette One of the challenges/dates would be they’d have to cook for me. I am not saying I need some guy to make a gourmet meal, but hey…all these tools seem to do is walk around shirtless. No. I’m not wifing anyone whose culinary skills end at grilled cheese, so get in the kitchen, boys!
#ifrachwasthebachelorette None of this giving out roses shit. They’d give me roses; I’d give them third base.
#ifrachwasthebachelorette We’d get rid of the cheesy host and bring in a hot gay.
#ifrachwasthebachelorette When I talked to the camera about my innermost thoughts on each one, I’d be honest. I’d say, “Well, I really like that John has a good job and loves hi family, but I’m a little concerned that he seems a bit selfish in bed. Tim, however, seems like the kind of guy who’d go down on you for hours.” I’d make reality TV real!
#ifrachwasthebachelorette There’d FINALLY be a brown person as the Bachelor/Bachelorette. Seriously, ABC needs to get with it. Since I am half-black and half-white, I could really make everybody happy. And the last three guys standing would probably be Jews anyway. The Bachelorette would be a melting pot!
My Twitter friends — don’t even judge me — had some good suggestions too!
#ifrachwasthebachelorette “It would have to be on Pay-Per-View or Showtime.”
“I don’t give a crap about the Bachelorette but #ifrachwasthebachelorette I’d watch”
#ifrachwasthebachelorette “ABC would make so much money from viewers they’d buy NBC & CBS & start a new network for Conan!
SRSLY. ABC…holler @ShedItAndGetIt.

Nice! I caught most of that on twitter that night…still just as hilarious. Lol.
Yeah, but there’s always the problem of bringing them home to meet your family. We were actually talking about it at work the other day, and I said that we’d just hire some actors to “play” your family. We know, or could come up with enough of them to make it work!
oh my god, do it.
