I Firmly Reject ABC's "Proposal"

You can imagine my excitement when I saw a commercial for "The Proposal," a new summer dating show on ABC. "The Proposal" is a godsend for singles who don't have 8-10 weeks to fall in love on "The Bachelor." Rather, two people go from complete strangers to engaged within an hour. And what's more: One of the people is hidden in a pod and can't be seen until the very end. It's a real-life fairy tale romance!

I sat down on the couch, armed with a pen, notepad, and low expectations. 

Let's get to the highlights!
