So I’ve been inundated with ABC’s awful advertising for the new season of The Bachelor that starts in January.
There are a lot of things wrong with this show. One being that almost none of the couples end up together. I can’t figure out why people still watch it. It’s unrealistic and filled with fake people who only want to see themselves onscreen. The best they can hope for is to finish second because then THEY might get to be the next exploited Bachelorette.
The show has really reached a new low this time around, using last year’s Bacherlorette reject Jason as their ratings bait. This time, though, Jason has brought along his son.
“I get the chance to meet 25 amazing women and I know that one of them is going to be my wife.”
Really Jason? You know? How is that?
I can’t believe Social Services allows this man to exploit his child in this manner. I’m not saying that he doesn’t deserve to find love, but this format is so twisted and flawed (not to mention unsuccessful) that to put your child through it — not once, but twice — is criminal.
Shame on ABC for exploiting both father and child in this manner.
But I still get to be on tv right?
I’m a reality TV junkie but this show is terrible. It’s to the point where it’s not meant to be realistic(even though ABC wants you to believe it). there’s nothign good about it and it should be dropped immediately. when does it start again…i need to set the DVR
I TOTALLY agree with you! I seem to catch myself yelling at the TV every time the commercial airs. I think this show’s getting ridiculous on its own and now to throw a little boy into the mix … just WRONG!
You are 100% correct. Not unlike the “reality” show that used children this is exploitation pure and simple. Anything for ratings. Never watched the show, never will… I actually have a life…. good post!!!
