While we were in the Dominican Republic, Jo accidentally got addicted to ABC’s The Bachelorette. Naturally, I’ve been obliged to watch every episode since.
“She’s so amazing and beautiful, I love her with all my heart. Do I wish we could spend more one-on-one time together? Absolutely!”
We’ve just finished watching an episode (it comes out Monday nights in America, so thank christ for SurfTheChannel.com), but to spice it up a bit we came up with the following drinking game:
Drink whenever any of the following phrases are mentioned:
Alone time/One-on-one time
All the blokes on the program will say this at least once each
Heart (as a metaphor)
This phrase is widerife among everyone. Hearts beating fast, etc, don’t count.
Absolutely (instead of "yes", not as a modifier)
Because in America, “Yes” isn’t extreme enough.
[Girl's name] looks/is beautiful/amazing
Again, all the blokes will say something this obvious each episode.
Chemistry/connection
This is a new addition (09÷06÷2010), designed to replace some of the other rules as the series progresses and the format changes. This phrase is prolific, so hardcore drinkers only, please.
I know there’s only four rules, but it’s on for two whole hours (25% of which is adverts for incredibly cheap fast food — we also saw an amazing offer to buy six gallons of milk and get a seventh free — who the fuck is buying this much milk?! Anyway…) and the amount of repetition and stating the obvious is truly mind blowing.
Don’t forget, I still want suggestions for my list of drugs blogs!
Good thing I didn’t see this until just now. Otherwise I’d be an alcoholic!
