Creativity starves insanity
From all initial feelings of this incarnation of a funny thing, the bachelor looks like a blonde version of the first bachelor. It even feels like watching that super soldier movie with those super soldiers, Universal Soldier, maybe in the third or fourth outing. If there even was a fourth.
Very telemovie feel about those other sequels.
These roses are most symbolic of the whole idea of the show. After given a rose, it may sour and die, like the relationship. If it had been something a little more extruded, like plastics, then it could be seen as artificial. But then
turning it over and spearing it into the heart of their supposed beloved wouldn't detract from the whole experience.
Over in Joe Millionaire, to combat the artificiality of the wilted rose, jewellery and lots of carats are thrown into the mix. They speak of independence but the slow movement of the cameras make it seem more insidious than this. Like as if they were out for the money, most blatantly shown when the 'no bread' Heidi was booted off. Like strapping a chair to your arse when playing with them in a musical brawl. Very upsetting. Evan's eyes are electric. The glitz, the glamour, the chasm of fear when the slip of the tongue eventuates. In every respect.
What?
