User Reviews

Hilarious!

Finally, someone has made a comprehensive, hilarious, spot-on send up of the ridiculous nature of The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I watched episode 1 twice in a row and laughed harder the second time. My only question...how many harrowing episodes of The Bachelor did the writer have to watch to get everything so perfect in Burning Love? Though it must have been painful, it was worth it. As for the cast, the celebrity cameos are delightful. Ken Marino has never been better (maybe that guest spot on Whitney?), and Michael Ian Black couldn't be more (in)sincere. I do hope we see more Ballerina...can she scale the wall of the mansion to get back in the game?
