Ok, I’ve only seen a few minutes of this show (and that was about all I could stomach!), but this has got to be one of the most debasing shows on tv, IMO. It literally made my stomach churn to watch the women waiting while the bachelor made his selection of the 15 to continue to next week’s show! He calls their name and hands them a long stemmed rose, to which they all said thank you?! Thank you for allowing me to debase myself by being on this stupid, gross show, for groveling at your feet that I might be “selected” to return next week for yet another date with you?! After all, he might be the one … :eek: (a pun on that TvLand Retromercial with Susan Dey for Cover Girl. ;))
And Bachelor is not the only one, nor probably even the worst. There’s Extreme Dating, Ship Mates, that awful show on NBC where the -parents- rate the guys and select the one to send with the daughter to Hawaii… that lie detector test is awful, and the guy who gives the test is really the worst, IMO. I don’t know which is worse: the TV show execs who think up and produce these shows or the viewers who actually watch them. I do realize that some folks watch them specifically for their “awfulness,” though.
Heh, not much of a rant; probably would have been better if I’d done it right after I caught the last segment of the show on Wednesday night!
