A real life Sleepless in Seattle

I'm sure some of you are aware of my slight obsession with reality TV - more specifically 'The Bachelor'.

I have to say, I'm not quite as fond of 'The Bachelorette' shows but gave it a chance anyway.

Last night was the finale and boy was I upset! The Bachelorette picked a greasy, snowboarding, socially challenged character with quite a beak over a professional, successful, sweet, kind and loving single Dad from Seattle.

This guy is like the real life Sleepless in Seattle. His wife left him for some other guy and he has been raising his 3 year old son alone. When the Bachelorette went on a date in his hometown the family was the picture of perfection and they even interviewed his son who said "I love DeAnna" - melt my heart. I was crushed when she didn't pick him and felt so sad - she even let him get down on his knee to propose and then made him stand up so she could say 'no'. Come on - don't let the guy get on his knee - at least have the decency to tell him before he starts professing his love for you! I thought that was so unclassy of her. This girl is completely crazy - the third runner up was a dream come true also!

Well, I'm sure with all this my Sleepless in Seattle has rounded up a date or two and I only hope he can find someone to complete his little family. He said in the show last night that he is as aware as anyone that he's got a three foot tall firecracker that comes with the package but I don't think that's a bad thing at all!

That's it - I really am quite emotional about the show but I'll drop it now!
