As many of you know, I had thought about auditioning for ABC's reality show The Bachelor. (25 women vie for the affection of one eligible bachelor. They go on dates, live in a mansion in Hollywood, and some girls get eliminated each week. In the end, one girl walks away with a boyfriend or, if they're very lucky, a fiance). I had submitted an online application and talked to a representative. I thought: I'm single, I'm young, this looks like fun, why not?
After much consideration, I decided to head to an open casting call and check out the scene. I took the short walk across the street from Lincoln Center to ABC studios. But, after taking one look at the scandalously dressed, over tanned, heavily made up, wanna-be actress-type women lined up around the block, I did an about-face and walked the other way. While it seemed like a good idea, I don't think it was for me. I definitely don't want to live in a house full of women with tons of drama, fight over a guy who I don't even know, and be on a reality TV show with my life exposed to the nation. So, while I won't be accepting any roses from the bachelor, I'll be out in NYC meeting tons of eligible bachelors, dating, and enjoying my time as a single girl living in the best city in the world.
