The Bachelor
Watched on channel 9 on 09/24/07.
Last night was the season premier of a hit reality show called The Bachelor. I've never watched this particular show. I prefer Beauty and the Geek as my dating show. I did however, watch The Bachelor for the first time last night. I know that this reality series has been on for several years. The purpose of this show is to bring in 1 man and about 25 unrealistically beautiful women. The man is suppose to narrow down the women by giving those that he wants to keep a rose. The ultimate goal is for this man to find a wife. In my opinion, it seems almost impossible to find your future soul-mate on a reality series. That's just my opinion - yes, I am aware that the first seasons Trista & Ryan are still married, but they were also paid so freakish amount to get married within a specific time period and their wedding was paid for. As I watched the show last night, I noticed certain women - one got drunk before getting her "alone" time, one claimed that being on the show was a "divine intervention," one showed off her webbed toes, one asked the man to take off his pants, and one twisted in a way that makes me hurt. This show continues to come back season after season because people - a lot of people - like the show. I'm sure men like idea of being surrounded by beautiful women and having their pick. I'm sure women like the idea of meeting their prince charming. It really wasn't that bad - just not my taste. I'll continue to watch the show for this pop culture class. Who knows, maybe I'll become addicted to it too.
