This season of The Bachelor, ABC’s beloved televised hazing ritual, has already produced some memorable moments, hasn’t it? Who could forget the time Megan didn’t know that New Mexico is a place that’s in the United States of America? Or when labia exhibitionist Jillian dazzled Bachelor Chris Soules by asking him whether he’d “rather have sex with a homeless girl . . . or abstain from sex for five years.” (I think the correct answer’s pretty obvious.) Or when Kelsey, a school guidance counselor, convinced us all to withdraw our children from the public education system by behaving like a mental patient.

The dark-arts practitioners who make this awful show are having more fun than ever. I’m sure it’s to society’s detriment—but it’s fun in the meantime.
