Did you watch the first episode of the new season of The Bachelorette on Monday? I didn’t, and it wasn’t an oversight: Reality TV makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a runcible spoon. But today I learned that my former co-worker Ben Sands is a contestant on The Bachelorette this season. Ben was the associate producer of the Lingua Franca and University Business websites when the plug was pulled on those magazines in late 2001. (University Business was subsequently bought and revived by another company.) In his bio, which identifies him as a ski instructor from Aspen, Ben explains his “greatest achievement to date”: “Finally being able to define and understand what truly makes me happy.” On Monday he made the cut when the Bachelorette winnowed the 25 original contestants down to 15.
I didn’t know Ben well, but I always found him friendly and smart. I’ll be watching, and I’ll be rooting for him.
