The Bachelor for 50+

 I've mentioned that my daughter and I watch The Bachelor for brainless entertainment.  All of the contestants are in their 20's.  For whatever reason, they all seem to think that landing the bachelor will guarantee them to live life happily ever after.  They have no clue what they are getting themselves into and reality will come up and slap them in the face.  I think the networks could make an equally successful  TV show off the same concept, but make it for people aged 50+.  It would go a little something like this.

At age 50+ we've all been around the block a few times.  The women would be more hesitant to even want to be on the show as committing to a man they hardly know would be a nightmare in the making.  The show could play off of that.  Instead of the women sitting around fighting and plotting how to snag the man, they would all sit around and beg each other to take him as they really don't want to have to end up with him - ending up with him means somebody else they have to take care of and clean up after.  

The conversations between the women would be something like, "He leaves his socks inside out and the cap off the toothpaste PLUS he NEVER puts the toilet seat down."  

"All he does at night is smoke pot and watch porn on the computer.  Then he gets all horny with the munchies and expects me make him something to eat and then have sex with him.  I might as well be a blow up doll that can cook." 

"He is unorganized and careless with his finances.  He will tell you that everything is fine, but you're in debt up to your eyeballs."  

"Carol, we think you would be the best match for Fred."

"Oh no, I am not compatible with Fred.  Glenda, I think you would be a perfect match for Fred."

"Noooooooooo, Fred snores and never replaces the toilet paper roll when it's empty.  Plus, he's a complete slob.  That would trigger anxiety in me from deep seated childhood trauma.  Debbie, I think you would be the perfect match for Fred."  

"No way.  When he shaves he leaves his beard all over the sink.  Not only does he leave the toilet seat up when he pees, he dribbles on the bowl.  Also, he is self-centered and narcissistic.  That's the bigger issue.  Plus, I caught him in lies about having an affair after telling me how much he loves me and would never hurt me."  

At the end of the show if the bachelor can attract one of the women he will be successful.
