(Draft board, pre-draft)If you were to ask me on a Monday night like tonight what I'm going to miss most when we move to D.C., I would have to say our Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad festivities. Monday nights when Chris Harrison takes the screen are nights not to miss with our friends. The group has slowly grown over the seasons, but once members join the draft, you certainly do not want to miss a week!
Although it started with the girls making their husbands come, I think the tables have now turned and the boys look forward to Monday nights more than the girls do. We can accredit this to the fantasy draft the boys of the PB&J Report created. Being avid sports fans, it only made sense they would find a way to turn the sappy ABC shows of finding true love into another fantasy league.
(I dare say this fantasy league is now more exciting than their basketball, football, and baseball leagues combined.)
It's easy, the rules are laid out before the season begins based on a point system. Points for getting the one-on-one date, getting a rose on that date, going on a group date, more points for getting the rose on a group date, points for kissing, hot tub kissing, fantasy suite, advancing to the next round, you get the idea. It isn't all plus points though — negative points are a necessity as well. Players lose points for crying, awkward moments, strategic blunders (Gia, you will always be the one who pioneered the strategic blunder when you gave Wes the rose instead of Craig M. on the Bach Pad... I still don't think the boys have forgiven her for causing Craig M. a.k.a. Canadian Sean Penn to go home far too early in the season)...
You get the idea.
This season's draft didn't disappoint — although Chantal was the first pick overall, Emily did go as the second pick. (Good choice, Ben and Nikki.) It only made sense that Steve and I would pick crazy Michelle as our first pick (we had the 4th pick), and she wasn't a shabby pick because she got a lot of screen time which meant more time for us to earn more points.
