So you think you can dance?

I didn't get a chance to watch So You Think You Can Dance this weekend because I was too busy at the Notre Dame tailgate. I got to see some real dancing! I'll let you evaluate this Irish jig:

It's a new dawn, it's a new day...

And I'm feelin' JAKE!!!

It was officially announced yesterday that too-perfect Jake has been named the next Bachelor.

My first reaction was that this is a horribly great decision. I enjoy watching shows where I dislike most of the characters (see: The Hills, The City, The Ruins). This season of the Bachelor will ideally fall into that category. Jake is really annoying. He's one of those guys who is cool on paper because he is athletic and decent looking, but has ZERO personality. Much like Jim Carrey in the Cable Guy, Jake's personality was created rather than a natural development. I know I would never hang out with him, and if I had to, I would mercilessly make fun of him.

My second reaction was a prediction. I predict that this will be the first season that at least one of the female contestants leaves because she's not interested in Jake. Usually, this is the most unrealistic part of the show: there is no way 25 random people will all fall deeply in love with the same person in a six-week period. This will be the season that tests the "reality" of the show. If a couple of these girls fall like dominoes, then consider me a believer.
