The Bachelor(ette)

A few weeks ago while I was working out at the gym, there was this television show playing somewhere in front of me called "The Bachelor."  I had never actually seen this show before but I had a pretty good idea how this and similar shows are formatted.  Well, it took me only one episode, less than that actually, to develop an extreme distaste for Courtney.

She treats the other contestants like they're just "little people" who happen to be in the way of her "inevitable" victory.  She openly celebrates when someone else gets eliminated and speaks badly of them when they're already gone.  She treats the Bachelor like he is merely a pawn to use for her own ambition rather than the show's main character.  She treats the "easy" task of competing against other women who put in a great deal of effort the same way you and I would treat the task of getting chores done.

"Arrogant" does not even begin to describe this sorry excuse for a human being.  She thinks the whole world is her oyster and she seeks to gain it all - and probably expects to do so with minimal effort.  It's too bad ("well, not really" as she would say) that she already sold her soul long before any of us even knew about her.  She may revel in her worldly greed and pride, but what about when it's her turn to die?

Luke 9: 22-25
