Reality TV Pitch #2: The Bachelor/Bachelorette with very intelligent people

I came up with this one after turning on the TV last night to dishearteningly learn that I missed The Bachelorette. What I like most about the show (which, in reality, is an ego-boost for myself) is the contestants' utter lack of ability to carry on a conversation. This is an act that most people do with relative ease, but it seems that "The Bachelor" series attracts a certain portion of the population incapable of doing so. Very amusing/embarrassing/makes me feel great. So, instead of insurance salesman, dental assistants, etc. how about a season where all of the contestants have PhDs, are polyglots, or published authors. A really handsome and smart man, who happened to be at my house the same time I came up with the pitch, said the show "would be the same". I beg to differ! It would be amusing on a whole new level.

If (god forbid) you don't keep up with the show, here's what you're missing out on:

  1. I think that would be rather awesome, and it could get rid of a bit of the petty she said this drama, but then I might not understand their conversations and feel better about my life...

  2. a handsome and smart man is always right on any of his assumptions... well, this would make all of his assumptions ex nihilo facts... Well, I can't see the video, this is the real problem here!

  3. OK, video should be working now. and I just thought of some more ideas: how about the bachelor for obese people only? celebrity bachelor? non-white bachelor?
