_The continuing series commenting on ABC’s The Bachelor from a man’s point of view. Our own Matt Truck (@BroTruck) watches the show with his wife and awards points based on many factors, all of which test whether or not the act on the show is “Stray Monkey, Approved.” Each positive “manly” act by Sean Lowe (@seanlowe09) gets a +1, while points are deducted for things that aren’t as flattering to your manhood. This week, we take a break from the points to take a look at what never aired - but should have.

Whether or not Sean wins The Bachelor crown as Stray Monkey’s manliest of all time and unseats Brad Womack, I have to say that this season was probably the most enjoyable one I’ve watched. Given that this is our first full season run of the Man Points column, we at least have our new baseline scoring system in Sean Lowe. As a sports fan, I guess this is akin to comparing players in the pre- and post-stats eras: while a fun debate, it’s not entirely apples to apples.
The Bachelor gave us some great moments this year. From flannel long-sleeves to consistently unbuttoned top buttons, from barehanded rock climbing to pushups with women on the back, Sean gave us some man moments to remember. Unfortunately, he and the producers left several things off the table that I would have like to seen.
I give you @BroTruck’s The Best of What Never Aired (But Should Have).
While I have no reason to believe that these things did occur, a man has got to have dreams.
