‘The Bachelor’ Fantasy League

CLICK HERE TO PICK YOUR FANTASY BACHELOR TEAM.

When something horrible happens, you burn it and salt the earth so it never appears again, right?

Not when it comes to Bachelor Fantasy Leagues!

Once again, we are following along with the dramatic smutfest that is ‘The Bachelor’ with a Fantasy League, and you can join in on the fun. After Monday’s premier episode, you simply come here to Trending Buffalo and draft a team of three contestants from the 15 contestants from this season. When someone makes out with someone in a barn, you could finally benefit!

How could this possibly get better?

Plantin’ seeds!

This season’s bachelor is Chris the Farmer, so there will be plenty of bad corn puns and tractorish things. Not only that, the scoring system is the most ridiculous thing to have ever happened.

My judgment will be final in all scoring and decision making. I reserve the right to drink a bunch of alcohol and flee the country. This is bigger than the Super Bowl and Puppy Bowl combined. Sports quota filled. Watch Monday’s premier and then re-visit TrendingBuffalo.com to choose your team. This was the worst idea I’ve ever had. The good news is, it’s going to be really fun for you.

Follow this link to check out ABC’s website for a look at the 25 contestants for the upcoming season. There is no limit to the number of teams we can have in our league. If you want to sign up a team in the name of your 2-year old kid or something, we’re really not going to be able to stop you. Claire’s dad will know what you’ve done, though.

Additional good news!!

Stand-up comic Sean Murphy will be joining me for a podcast after every episode of ‘The Bachelor’. It’s going to be called ‘We Bros Accept this Rose’. You can click the link in my recaps to hear it. We’re super excited about it. You should be too. Keep up!
