I’m usually completely shameless about my pop culture obsessions. I have no qualms about admitting my love for awful ’80s one-hit wonders, Adam Sandler movies or Us Weekly.

But there’s one obsession that I try to keep relatively secret: “The Bachelor.” I used to hide my love for the show by mocking its ridiculousness, forced drama and inability to produce a true loving relationship. But something changed this season; these qualities became the reasons for my addiction.

So much has already been said about this season’s (and perhaps the entire show’s) most hated contestant, Courtney Robertson. Yes, she’s a bitch. Yes, she’s a slut. And yes, she’s there for all the wrong reasons. Basically, she’s the greatest reality show contestant of all time. It should be made a law that Courtney is required to appear on every single reality show for the reminder of her life. She would win “Survivor” and “The Apprentice.” She would bring back the snarkiness that American Idol judges have been missing since Simon’s departure. And last, but certainly not least, she would be the inaugural winner of a new show I’ve been floating around to the networks, “America’s Next Top Psychopath.”

But even worse than Courtney is the bachelor himself, Ben Flajnik. Ben is awful in all the wrong ways. He’s boring and unattractive. It’s completely baffling to see 25 women fighting over this poor excuse for a man with some of the worst hair in television history.

To the viewers, it’s completely obvious that the doppelganger of Francine from “Arthur” is only on the show for two reason: fame and sex. Any contestant that showed even an ounce of intelligence or a true personality was sent home without a rose.

Yes, some of this made for great TV. Ben and Courtney’s skinny dipping adventure in Puerto Rico proved that these two hornballs were absolutely perfect for one another.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Tabloids and gossip blogs have already leaked photos that show Ben proposing to Courtney on top of a mountain in Switzerland. Not only is this a perfect proposal for the season’s ice queen, it finishes one of the most talked about seasons in the show’s history with a giant middle finger to the audience.

Millions of people watch this show for the illusion that two fame whores can fall in love during a dating competition. Sure, next to none of these couples ever stay together in the long run, but it’s nice to pretend that they genuinely found true romance for a little bit.

Courtney and Ben have completely ruined this façade, and that’s why I fell in love with the show this season. They exposed the show for the fraud it really is. Both did an awful job pretending that they were there to find legitimate love. Instead, it turned into a showcase for bad behavior and the rest of the contestants trying to get the wicked witch to leave. If that’s not great TV, I don’t even know what is anymore.

There has also been photographic proof that Ben has already cheated on Courtney with multiple other women after the show’s run. I honestly can’t wait to watch a live interview with these two wackos where they try to justify their behavior to America.

My only hope for the next season of “The Bachelor,” or even “The Bachelorette,” is that the crazy antics are increased even more. ABC needs to stop pretending they are airing classy and romantic entertainment, and instead embrace themselves for the trash mongers they truly are.
