Why is he so obsessed with "The Bachelor"????

He's always talking about the Bachelor this and the Bachelor that. Sometimes he devotes most part of his show talking about the Bachelor. We get it Jimmy. You and your wife LOVE the Bachelor, but not everyone else does.

Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

Because he is a freaking looser trying to be Howard Stern.

I assume the network makes him do that. The Bachelor franchise is a big product for ABC. Some amount of internal product promotion is undoubtedly a part of his contract. I bet the odds are good that he doesn't love The Bachelor on a personal level...

This would make him pretty dishonest, imo, and, for all of this faults, I don't think that's who he is.

I definitely think that the network is a part of the equation. But I also think that he's a big fan of the show. He's probably not the biggest fan ever, so he might be stretching the truth a bit, but I don't think this it's just a network thing.

But it is too much. Obsessed or not, network pressure or not, they give the Bachelor too much time, and I have no doubt that it hurts his ratings.

He does the same thing with Dancing with the Stars and Scandal...it's the network.

Agreed. Whenever he starts yammering about Dancing w/ Stars or The G.D. Bachelor, I just quit watching, and never see the other 99% of the show. Give it a rest!
