Box Turtle:
At its best, "The Bachelor" skews the absurdity of any human relationships ‹ even the successful ones. As terrified as Jimmie is of losing his freedom, Anne is equally worried about becoming like her parents ‹ who, it turns out, are an older couple nauseatingly and demonstratively still in love with each other.

I suppose we should acknowledge the possibility that all of these reviewers were ripping off Ben [/snark].
