"The Bachelor in Paris" Will you be watching?

"The Bachelor in Paris" starts Monday night. Don't like the show...love Paris. Will anyone else be watching for the scenery? I'm thinking of taping it so I can fast forward through the drivel.

If it's anything like The Real World in Paris, forget it. I think a Paris travelogue DVD would be better.

I have never watched this show but I went to high school with one of the contestants. Her name is Cortney Bailey and she is listed as the law clerk on the ABC show info webpage. She was a couple years older than me but we were on the same cheerleading squad. Considering that my high school (small, private) had only approximately 200 hundred people, it seems a small world indeed to find a fellow grad on television!

Anything with Paris scenery is fun!

I'll be watching. You know the interactions between the Parisians and the women contestants are going to be good for laughs.

Based on the "Bachelorette New York" version that was on last year, I imagine they will use some of the more famous sites in Paris for different dates, etc. For example, the guys had to race to the Empire State Building in one episode, and several of the dates involved NYC landmarks and experiences.

Shots of Paris at night were absolutely beautiful. I wonder where is the chateau they showed he is staying at. Very nice place.

I too wonder where the beautiful "house" is located, amazing! Too bad my friend did not make the cut.

I can't believe I admit to watching that crap. I laughed everytime he said "Welcome to MY chateau." HA.

So, does anyone want to admit to having rotting eggs around here? LOL
