I decided to watch an hour of the Bachelorette. The episode was from the last season which was season 7. I absolutely love this show. I wouldn't miss a single episode of it. It was mine and my boyfriends favorite TV show and we pretty much made it a date to watch it. The bachelorette was Ashley Hebert. She was an attractive girl. There were 25 guys that she was introduced to. These guys were for the most part were all attractive too. Ashley makes dates with these men and has to chose who she wants to keep to the next week. She gives them a rose and they have to accept it.
This shows a typical girl looking for a fairy tale love. Its like any other dating show or site. You are introduced to complete strangers and are expected to fall in love. You have to think along the lines that one of these men, chosen at random, will be your soul mate. The love of your life. The person you spend forever with. But will this really happen?
If young girls watch this show, they will believe that there will be someone for anyone. This show makes us believe that love is out there for everyone. We feel bad for the people who don't receive roses. We have all been through rejection and heart break. We feel like with this rejection to these people, we know them. We don't though. I believe we do feel worse for them because they are “average joes”. If these were all celebs we wouldn't mind much. We all know they get married and divorced in one week tops.
I decided to watch episode 3 because this is the episode when Ashley gets rejected. There is one guy that came in, Bentley, who thought Ashley would be someone else. He says he isn't attracted to Ashley at all and basically that he was just going to lead her on. He goes to her and uses his daughter as an excuse. This whole deal with Bentley was a long time coming. The show showed previews of him saying mean things behind her back and I was always so pumped to watch the next episode to know what would happen with him.
Obviously, a channel is going to air shows that they know will get high viewer ratings. They need to have something that will pull as in and the subject of love usually does this.
I don't really follow this show, but saw a few episodes before. I agree that people that watch this show believe that love is possible with anyone and can fall in love with someone you never thought you would. It is a very suspensful show that makes you want to keep watching to see what the final outcome is!
ReplyDeleteI watched Brad Womack's 2nd season on the show, and for that season, I didn't miss many episodes. But I haven't watched it since. I think the dates are so awkward, especially when the relationships start to become physical - it's a house full of girls who are making out with the same guy. It's just too weird!
ReplyDeletei actually like this show. It is my mom and sister's favorite show, so after i would come home from hockey and flop down on the couch for a few minutes, I wouldn't have a choice but to watch. The drama that happens in the show is fairly entertaining, and more times than not, I would finish watching the episode.
