If you haven’t seen the show “The Bachelor” on ABC - it is really a great unintended comedy, or else a very sad documentary on how TV courtship works. I’ve watched a few shows in horror, much like one rubber necks to see an accident on the road.
I wanted to spoof the show ever since I first saw it, so the ridiculous situations that appear in this spoof, reflects how ridiculous I think the real show is. I intended for Joel and Paige to play their parts normally which would contrast nicely with the insanity of the characters I was playing. Yes, the bachelor’s socks made an intended appearance, same with the cat scrach post which served as the rose pedestal.
Can you believe that a reporter came out to watch me record this spoof on ABC’s show “The Bachelor”? (I’ll let you know the publication when the article comes out.) I was trying to change into the different characters fast cause he was sitting there taking notes. So I’m racing around in that auntie’s wig lookin like a fool. hahaha
You wouldn’t think that a 3 1/2 minute video would take 3 hours to record! We were there til midnight. Lighting is tough guys! Especially when you’re working with such top of the line equipment as the three outdoor flood lights I was using.
Notice the trickling sound in the background? That is from the little fountain that is beside the couch. I was trying to copy the cheesy fountain noise in the TV show - while the bachelor talks to the girls. Thought I’d address what that noise was since a viewer thought that someone was peeing in the background.
Thanks to Joel and Paige for being so hospitable with my last minute video shoot and for being willing participants. We have some golden blooper moments from this one!! ![]()
