The Bachelorette

If this show really gave a darn about contestants "finding love", they wouldn't do everything they could possibly do to sabotage the relationships for the sake of TV drama! Out of 30 men, ALL of them are going to get hurt except one! I was struggling last night watching Katie not validate Greg's heartfelt profession of his love for her. It was cringeworthy! They are playing with true emotions here and it is really getting ridiculous. If he was the one she wanted, she should have said scr*w the "rules" and told him how she felt about him. I'm so glad that Greg feels he deserves better because he DOES!

I understand that Americans love "real" drama. This definitely has "drama". My issue is that the majority of what happens feels engineered and manipulative. I understand most of what is shown on television is scripted. But blatantly passing off something that is like this as a "real" show where "true love" is "found" seems a bit disingenuous. It seems like the producers must be specifically casting some individuals to cause drama and others for the sole purpose of being emotionally traumatized by their experience. Some people may say, who cares, who is this show hurting. But this type of television is a perfect example of what is degrading this countries moral standards. Terrible, terrible, terrible show.

I'm honestly baffled that this show lasted this long. We all know that reality tv is scripted, and not really reality at all. Dating multiple people at once and finding instant love is so far fetched it's not even funny. Most of the relationships don't last. It is just pure garbage.

If you knew a young, outwardly attractive woman who told you, "I can't decide who to marry, so I'm going to simultaneously date 24 homogeneous men", what would your initial reaction be?

She's: A silly, sin-burdened woman? A slut? Stupid? Clueless? Ignorant of how the world REALLY works? Harboring a pathetic Cinderella complex? Pity? Derisive Laughter?

But you're going to watch anyway, because you're one of the thousands of sheep who waste an hour or two weekly watching this drivel. Enjoy.

And if you think for one moment that I approve of "The Bachelor", you're wrong, wrong, wrong!

This show is so archaic and fake. I only saw the last 6 episodes of the 17th seasons and let me tell. It is garbage. And so is Katie. Horrible woman. This show perpetuates archaic ideas about companionship and and rushed engagements; it is so unrealistic when one woman DATES SO MANY MEN AT ONCE. Thats just a recipe for disaster. All those men dogged a bullet i say...except the poor guy at the end. Yeah good luck buddy. Thats if all this is real anyways. Ugh waste of time. Do something better with your life people. Enjoy nature. Its good for your skin.
