Practice, Practice, Practice!!!
In The Bachelor King, chaos and hilarity are the name of the game! Spoofs on several popular reality TV shows create a fun-filled show! When poor King Evian uses his last dying words (as he falls out the window) to pass royal succession not to Prince Daft but to Yokel, a foolish hillbilly, everyone agrees Yokel needs a wife to help him run the kingdom. Similar to “The Bachelor” and “The Dating Game,” his staff brings in eligible older and younger ladies to vie for the new king’s hand, including Agatha Peabody, a high-society matron; Priscilla Tradewells-Ayers-Hollander-Morley, a four-times-married gold digger; Sally Valley, a ditzy cheerleader from L.A.; Crushin’ Kanisha, a New York City gangster-type; and Jane Claxton, a true-hearted cowgirl from Texas. These five ladies are tested on their abilities in true “American Idol” fashion when judged by Simon Towel and Paula O’Toole. Following their talent show, the bacherolettes will compete in a “Survivor” challenge. Of course, Yokel has other problems to deal with — the price of gasoline has skyrocketed, jobs are being outsourced overseas, the stock market has tumbled and his self-appointed personal advisor, Frederick Pilfer, is busy draining the royal treasury. Worst of all, the daffy prince and his bodyguard come up with a slew of harebrained assassination plots against the king. Eventually, however, Yokel sorts through the contenders to find his true love and save his kingdom from ruin!
