The Bachelor

Those 25 women must be really desperate if they'll go on a show where the guy they make out with also makes out with and dates the 24 other women you live with. How desperate can a girl get? I don't even think that the first guy is going to marry the girl he chose. I'm watching the last episode of the Bachelor 2 right now, and hes about to choose either Helene or Brooke. I want him to choose Helene because Brooke is a blonde bimbo who needs to get a guy her own age. She's still young, she's still in collage. She's going to want to party and have fun, while Helene is more sophisticated. Also, is the guy so shallow that he only picks the sexy ones, and will pick a 'hot' wife in seven weeks? Get some normal looking girls on that 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 women 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.

It makes one wonder how this show is still on the air. There's been one couple that has stayed together, married, and has children, but everyone else has broken up. What's the point of continuing this? The show can be entertaining at the beginning. You see all the girls swooning over one man, that almost all of them like instantly. It's just like in real life! The girls start to take sides, bitch one another out, and show their true selves (or so we think). But that one man is left to decide who to pick that he thinks he can marry and live happily ever after.

What is true love exactly? How can you fall for someone when you're forced to pick them? This show is unbelievable. You thought dating online was bad, but people have to go on TV to find love? It's not realistic. How could a girl be with a man when he is going out with several others, making out with them? None of these questions are answered, and finally when the show ends, you know there won't be a happy ending in the future. For all we know, everything is scripted.

Dear god. Do these women not have an ounce of self-esteem or pride? I am watching Ari's season and I just want to scream at how these women (some literally crazy ones) put themselves through this for a guy just like any other guy. Oh, and lastly is the list of Latinas who sign up so thin or poor that you have the ONE moronic one who is beyond embarrassing to watch? No wonder this show is rated so low. Skip it.

My girlfriend - addicted to American soap operas - wanted to watch this, so I thought maybe I should too. The concept is simple: get a bunch of attractive and neurotic young women who want to compete for the affections of some adonis and take them on one-on-ones with Mr. God's Gift to Women while the camera follows them and lets the viewer observe all the interesting and melodramatic moments (well most of them - we don't get to witness the sex). It creates a lot of questions - for example, why would women want to enter a show like this in the first place? What do they think is in it for them and what is really in it for them? It all looks good visually - the producers have seen to that - but it is also tacky, shallow and exploitative. It speaks a lot about America.
