The Bachelor

       Twenty-five women, one man, all searching to find true love can certainly make for an interesting reality television show.  On Monday nights the bachelor is aired on ABC and you can bet that my family will be watching it.  Like many other shows, some people find it interesting while others find it offensive.  Although  I love watching the bachelor and think it is funny and interesting, I can see where some can find it inappropriate.
       Watching the Bachelor has become a must in our house-hold.  My family always gathers around the television on Monday night at 8:00.  We find the show to be funny, and spontaneous; because you never know what the girls are going to do next to try and get the bachelor's attention.  My mom uses it as a discussion piece for my brother and I.  Throughout the show I  hear, "Lexi, see how bad that girl is acting and the kind of negative attention she is getting, she doesn't value herself or those around her."   My brother hears, "J.D, you would never want to be in a relationship with that kind of girl."  My mom and dad love the show, but also try to sneak some dating advice in at the same time. 
       While my family enjoys the Bachelor,  I can also see where some parents could take the show as inappropriate to watch with kids.  During the show, it could give the impression that one guy with a lot of girls is acceptable in a relationship.  It also contains a huge amounts of drama throughout the show.   It is very understandable that parents would not want their children to be filled with conflicting thoughts on dating and relationships.   
       I personally love the show, and will continue to watch the Bachelor and all the seasons to come.  Even though, I find this show interesting, I can still see where some could disagree.  With it being on the list for "Most Watched Reality Shows",  I thought it would be important to blog about, and consider the different views about this popular show.

  1. Lexi, I myself love watching the Bachelor. Even though some girls act trashy, its funny to watch them make mistakes. My family too gathers around to watch this very entertaing show every Monday night at 8:00 p.m. and if not then you better believe it is on record. This season has been exceptionally good because Brad has been on the show before, and didnt end up finding love. The one he chooses in the end is going to be very interesting since its down to four girls. I am hoping he chooses Emily just because she seems "down to earth." I cant wait for tomorrows episode. Great blog choice!

  2. This show is really funny. This episode has been really good although Brad has already been on their once and could not find a wife the first time, I do not understand why they put him on again. I only like to watch it when there is only one boy and lots of girls because when there is only one girl and a lot of boys, it gets boring. I like to see the girls compete so hard on their for one guy because it makes me laugh to see girls fighting it out. I can not wait to see how this one ends, and whether or not he picks one this time around.

  3. Lexi, my family and I do not watch the bachelor. We don’t find it offensive or anything but I guess we just have watched it enough to get into it. But I am sure if my mom started watching then she would really like. However I do like hearing about yall talk at school about what all happened the night before on the bachelor. I think it is so funny how all of those girls are fighting over one boy, and they will do whatever they have to do to get him.
