The Bachelor is back Jan. 5 on ABC. It's never too early to start obsessing over the fakest reality show this side of The Hills! So let's break down the early trailer, which premiered during Dancing with the Stars last night.
--What? No fancy title like The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman or The Bachelor: Prince Charming? I was rooting for Bachelor Dad.
--So obviously they didn't film in Seattle. The sun doesn't shine like that in the Pacific Northwest in November.
--Clearly Jason has been hitting the gym -- and the tanning salon -- to prepare for his TV closeup. The Bachelor -- he's just like us!
--Recycled footage from The Bachelorette: "I'm a single dad, and I love my life." Also the shot of him running through the park to meet Ty was from his hometown date with DeAnna last season. I'm not gonna lie -- I totally cried during that episode.
--First glimpse of the girls: Looks like the usual overdone, overtanned, overwaxed bunch. I was hoping for a more diverse mix of single moms and Jewish girls.
--Wow, that engagement ring is UG-LY.
--Final shot is Jason with Ty on his shoulders against the Seattle skyline. Awww.
