The Bachelorette

Ok, first I can't believe I'm watching the damn show again, in the first place.
Second I can't believe I'm making comments on it.
Actually I'm too lazy to go through the sign up on the ABC TV Message
Board and I have to vent somewhere.
So...here we go!
This show stinks! For those of who you who have a life...the girl who is
the Bachelorette is a nice girl with a nice body, not that pretty...and
clearly a little insecure.
I mention that because she requires that each of the guy's fall in love
with her and tell her numerous times!And we have to hear about it
over and over and she and the guys have to articulate the same
bull ten times an hour! Boring!
At the end, she lets the really cool guy go and picks another one...
a guy who is handsome and really crazy about her.
Plus the poor guy had to undergo the incredible indignity of
not being able to "perform" on their first "sleepover!"Aand
all of America knowing it! But the second time he could...thank god.
But...he is an "8"...and the other guy was a "10!"
She however is an "8" as well and like feels comfortable with like.
She mentioned numerous times that the first guy had always been the
"dumper" not the "dumpee"...and she obviously was scared to pick him.
This particular season, has been filled with 'dramatic' surprises etc etc .
and clearly is fixed. Drawn out for ratings and our emotional rollercoaster
ride is now over.
I dont want to hear the word "journey" and people spilling their feelings
to total strangers ever again!
I hope I never watch this show again. But...I can't promise.

I don't watch these shows, but I have glimpsed bits of them and am ... speechless, I guess ... about the "sleepovers." Do the bachelors/bachelorettes really "audition" their potential mates by having sex with all of them?

Trust me, as a college student during the sexual revolution (late 60s, early 70s) I am far from a prude or an innocent, but there is something really piggy and disgusting about presenting serial sex with near-strangers so matter of factly on a TV reality show. Bleah!

Love,
Emily Litella ("never mind!")

I totally agree with Anne D. I was a college student in the 70's and no prude what so ever but discussing the "sleep over" was nausating and boorish.
