Does anyone admit to watching The Bachelorette/The Bachelor?

I watch it and have twitter open. It's hysterical.

Nope, just Survivor really (as reality TV goes). My wife watches a few of the TLC reality shows, but not these two above.

My mom did. I watched a little, but it wasn't my cuppa tea. That being said, I found a reality tv show called Solitary to be interesting. A bunch of people competing against others, everyone in solitary confinement for a cash prize. No windows, no clocks, and all kinds of mental, physical, and endurance competitions. Sometimes they might sleep for only a little, but told they slept 8 hours, etc. Basically a lot of fucking with people

It's such a train wreck. But ABC outdid themselves (in a bad way) tonight with "The Proposal".

I can't do reality TV. At all. None of it.

I'm not much for TV in general... but "reality" shows have always yanked my chain the wrong way.

It's particularly annoying because on several occasions throughout the past few years people use these kinds of shows as "evidence" of an argument they're making. It even happened here in that damn thread that got locked. (At least I think it was in that thread..)

So, nope. *Points to self* Is not a viewer

used to watch some, like 10+ years ago when they first started, nowadays, the contestants all seem like plastic people, too perfect, 'appear' pretty dumbed down too (though recognise they could be playing up to the camera), and just too much about being bitchy and putting each other down all the time, I find them quite depressing:-(

Nope nope nope, I tried. I really did try. I tried watching The Bachelor when it first came on. I threw up a little in my mouth.

My husband's friend told me that The Bachelor is a reality show about a man dating a lot of women at one time that's watched by women who hate men who date a lot of women at one time.

I enjoy some of it.

• Frontier House on PBS was a lot of fun (albeit ages ago).
• The first season or two of Little People Big World on TLC were pretty educational.
• Survivor's always a blast, especially if you watch it w/ friends.
• 90 day fiance is a guilty pleasure if there's something inside you that makes you want to look at a car wreck when driving by (90 car pileup would be a better name for this show)
• Naked & Afraid is more single episodes but still qualifies and is fun to armchair quarterback without actually exposing yourself to malaria and dysentary.

To each their own... I'm positive that the things I enjoy watching are probably just flat out offensive/annoying to some people too.

I just can't do reality TV. That, and country music. Those are my "entertainment" bugaboos.

I prefer watching grass grow over reality TV.

 

[286798]

For clarification... I think the show is REEEEE-diculous. It's so, so, SO very bad. And that's precisely why I find it hysterical!

As an example, on this season, there is a guy named Jordan who is a male model. He makes his living of his looks, and one episode, he dropped trou and did a model walk in his skivvies. He's cute (not my type but attractive) but it was so desperate. One of his lines was "I'm captain underpants... and that's all I got!"

And within minutes THIS was posted on Twitter:

I was about pissing my pants.

The only reality tv I've watched and enjoyed was The Voice. But I am just in love with Alicia Keys, I want to stand in air she's inhabited.

Never tried The Bachelor or Bachelorette though. What do you like about it?

Solitary was really good! I guess it didn't resonate with the public though because it didn't last. Probably not stupid enough...

 

[Holly Doors]

Nope never seen it I'm afraid X

Ok. I’ll admit to watching it. Not glued to it. I do laundry or crafts, but I find some parts hilarious! Like currently Lincoln (the sex offender!) is a flat earther. I mean he should have been screened out for being a sex offender, but how do you screen for someone who believes the earth is flat? From now on, I’m making that a first date question.

And Jordan. The male model. Every stereotype about models come to life in one man. I stop doing laundry when he speaks. It’s golden. Then David. He. Fell. Out. Of. His. Bunk. Bed. Broke his face. I mean, the laughs just keep coming. I fast forward through the romance. These dudes are hilarious.

You are not alone, Ms lurker. I love a TV wreck.

@LaFemme you GOTTA open Twitter and follow #TheBachelorette sometime while watching. Twitter lights up on the Jordanisms!

I’ll try to do that. Jordan just cracks me up. He’s mesmerizing! Too good to be true in his little golden undies. His undying devotion to himself is well, something only a Wilhelmina model could have. It’s aspirational.

I watched a couple of seasons. Don't care for it. Way too much drama.

And I may be wrong but seems to me after this show became popular so did the total misuse of the pronoun "I" (example "we had a great time on Jane and I's date" or "This date was perfect for John and I") Now I hear and see it everywhere. Makes my ears want to bleed. Pay attention to the show and just see how many times those phrases are misused.

Bye bye Captain Underpants. Womp, womp.

Although I'm pleased that she cut out the source of current drama in the house, I'm so sad that she cut out the source of entertainment for me!

reality TV shows are scripted if you did not know even those two
