With the exception of the ridiculous time constraints, it's just as good/bad as the American version. I'd be quick to jump all over it if it were just a hokey Canadian ripoff. I'm not saying we should be proud of it. It isn't "Canadian" in any sense, except that it takes place here.<br /><br />I think the contestant selection was good (or at least as good as the original) -- we just couldn't get to know them as well because of the time issue.<br /><br />You make a good point with the jet lag dating schedule and the fact it wasn't filmed in the summer. I disagree with your dismissal of my hometown as the site selection, although the British Properties would have been great, too. I also disagree with your opinion of the production values. It looks the same to me.<br /><br />As for Burning Love, I watched two episodes and found it too over-the-top, which isn't surprising coming from a Ben Stiller production, the king of over-the-top. Didn't laugh once.

When it comes to TV shows there are only a handful of things that Canadians can be proud of, although none that would catch an American audience, such as Heartland, Kids in the Hall or even the Beachcombers. Certainly anything with “American show name here” and Canada tacked onto the end is destined to be a failure and this show is no exception. Even the producers could not stomach the full meal deal and in the end decided to go with Bach Canada lite. Even though your spot on use of Woody’s comment is acknowledged by myself and others I support the decision to serve smaller portions, but the blame for this lackluster effort is 100% their fault.<br /><br />Issues include but are not limited to:<br />· Poor contestant selection<br />· Jet lag dating schedule<br />· Brad’s bad sweater collection wardrobe<br />· Site selection- Victoria? I love Victoria but it’s not the most exciting City has to offer, could of at least had a British property location with pool, view and heli-pad.<br />· And not even in the summer? Pool action filler is a requirement, not some under utilized off season hotel the came across more as house arrest.<br />· Production value? The American US Bach spoof “Burning Love” has more expensive sets, better lighting, film quality etc.<br /><br />“If this show has legs?” I doubt it, but if for some reason a second season is made they should hire a production team of this blogger, myself, and maybe Jillian. I think our 10 years of bachelor show devotion would give us a fighting chance of coming up with something worth watching. Why? Because we care! I get the feeling that whoever is responsible for this show does not, if they ever did.<br /><br />Agree with low point, fake boobie survey, and not just because it made me have to disqualify my top pick Ana.<br /><br />Did any of you tennis/Bach Canada fans see Brad attending the Raonic/Roddick tennis match in TO this week. Complete with deep V baby blue Old Navy party-cardi and t-shirt. Maybe the producers aren’t to blame for his wardrobe.<br /><br />I will waist a few more hours of my life watching the conclusion and his inevitable pick of the wrong girl. I noticed the difference in her look too, she actually looked not half bad and came off as a decent person. His best pick would have been the girl from Sask.<br /><br />Bach Can cannot be put to bed too soon and the Bach US cannot come too quickly. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821254399782640989.post-11563064619300377412012-11-15T21:16:22.226-08:002012-11-15T21:16:22.226-08:00Yes!
