But <em>Project Runway<\/em> is on basic cable, so while all this talk of sexual position seemed slightly <em>risqu\u00e9<\/em>, I wasn\u2019t shocked (I also wasn\u2019t shocked when Tyler was eliminated).&nbsp; Then came the season premiere of <strong><em>The Bachelor<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; I\u2019ve gotten used to all of the awkward chit-chat when the <em>Bachelor <\/em>meets his prospective concubines\u2026err, candidates.&nbsp; But <strong>Victoria F<\/strong>. stood out when she proclaimed, \u201cI have a very dry sense of humor\u2026but that\u2019s the only thing dry about me!\u201d&nbsp; And on network television!&nbsp; Come on, <em>ABC<\/em> \u2013 couldn\u2019t you do something slightly more subtle?&nbsp;

Starting on April 13<sup>th<\/sup>, <strong><em>The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart<\/em><\/strong> will allegedly feature \u201c20 single men and women who search for love through music, singing well-known songs, both individually and as couples.&nbsp; They will meet and explore their relationships while living together and going on <em>Bachelor<\/em>-style dates that focus on music.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp; After the contestants have been coupled-up, they will face musical challenges in live performances judged by stars in the music business.&nbsp; This all sounds positively horrific \u2013 but the kinda horrific that might be fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am usually unflappable.&nbsp; In fact, I would defy you to look at me and find a flap.&nbsp;
