I don't watch either as they are nothing but a bunch of arrogant hotties and hunks that complain they can't find the love of their life, yeah right.
But I do confess I will watch the first episode just to see the what the professions are of the choir...and what they look like etc.
Now..here are my questions;
Why are the women ALWAYS without a doubt or mark.. gorgous women? Not a single one has so much as a blemish or hair out of place. They all have great bodies and wear skimpy clothing and are like they just got off the model runway....they (supposedly) have great jobs, plenty of money...and they still can't find a man? And visa versa for the men...hunkie looking men with great jobs...and they can't find a woman?
And why are they all so prosperously employed? Why have they NEVER had a woman (or man for that matter) that is unemployed? Why is the Bachelor/ette always employed? Those they choose are always employed..no one is ever unemployed or have a less than prosperous job title! What's up with that!
And why only gorgous men and women? Is that to say those that aren't gorgous aren't able to be "choosen" by one that is? And the one that is choosing wants to only choose between other gorgous options? Never has there been a woman that is average looking, has a few extra pounds, wearing braces or other less than perfect attributes. This current season I did see one woman had lost an arm and she was beautiful but of course, he didn't choose her.
And they all come from well to do families. I have seen a few where they took the prospective bride/groom home to meet the family...and the family is always well do to...never do they go to a family that lives in an apartment complex or a less well to do neighborhood or a mobile home park. Always a nice big house and most often with lot of property and a really nice area. Do they not think gorgous people live in those places? Or cause you live there, the chooser wouldn't want to choose you
Now I know, alot of it is the viewers fault..."I dont' want to see ugly people or see a tiny apartment" and the cat fights the women have...I even think they might tell the women to do that and encourage them to do so! The men never seem to fight that much. I have only watched a few..simply cause of the fighting, I dont have any interest in that. Well, I dont' have any interest other than a morbid interest in any of it, but that morbid curiosity grabs me sometimes when nothing else is on and I will watch one or two episodes, but still... why does anyone watch it!
And why have there been no law suits of discrimination filed against the show by someone denied? I mean, they only have white people. Seldom a black woman for a Bach, and there was a black guy once for a B-ette but there hasn't been a black (or other race) as the Bachelor/ette. Why not? Not that I particularly care, but it is one of those nagging thoughts in the back of my mind. Comments?

I did watch those reality shows, but I think there are stuff about them that's exaggerated. I mean, why would you put yourself on television to find love? I think most of them would just go there for the air-time and not really for love.
If I were successful or gainfully employed, I wouldn't waste several months to put everything on hold to find "love" on a reality show. It wouldn't boost my career at all (unless you're into fame and tv personality). I don't need to fight for someone to notice me IF I AM ALREADY SUCCESSFUL, right?
Most of those women are obviously chiseled out of a screening that would only choose those who are tv worthy. I don't know about their jobs, but I think they just blew those out of proportion.
I remembered a friend of mine who wanted to join the "biggest loser (Asia Edition)". She was big but she was told that she had to look good on television too. Those who they chose had personality, a whole lot of BMI and should be camera-friendly.
I guess it's the same with all those reality shows. If you don't look well enough and your back story isn't uniquely amazing (both in the good and negative ways). Then you won't have a chance at those.
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hi there.. Well, we were talking about the Bachelor and Bachelorette, these shouldn't be confused with the movie actors/actress, most especially with Roseanne Barr who belongs to the professional actors/actresses in the past (they were really trained and such). These days, those who's got good "assets" Physically and is camera-worthy gets the attention.

Yeah, that's kind of a "given". "Must be pretty" or "must be hunky" no viewers would watch if they weren't watching gorgous people!

I disagree with that I remember I loved a show with Roseanne Barr and neither her nor her husband in the show were the kind of people you`d choose to be models. But they were good actors, not like these people at realities.

Don't blame yourself for watching it.It's addictive even if it's vain.:)It's not about finding love, it's more about finding new TV faces.This is why they pick gorgeous women and men with more or less trained bodies.They see potential TV stars in them.These men and women are self-confident and they know their price.They love fancy life that an average family can't afford.I believe they can't find a suitable partner because they want someone from the high society club.Good education,good job,good looking,good family, etc.

Average people have better personalities.Maybe that's why they never go on shows like this one.

I am going to throw a monkey wrencdh in the works and say, that I do watch them, and I like both of them. I am all for romance, even though I am a grandmother. It is good to see when the couploes do get together and they make it work. granted that of all the shows they have had from both of them, therre have only been 4 marriages. the very first marriage happened several years ago, after trista wren had picked the man of her dreams, ryan Sutter. they have been married, I believe 9 yeas, and they have 2 children. the second marriage was just a couple of years ago, and I think tyhe are still married, and the last one was December 1st of last year. that one was really a fairy tale wedding, as they had been engaged 2 years before they got married, and they are deeply in love. So with that being said, it really isn't a fantasy as love happens. I am not saying that others haven't fallen in love, as they have, but they just didn't last. I think that this last bachelor that they have now, is engaged, and has been engaged since November of last year, and they are planning a summer wedding. He is a christian and very sincere in everything, so I know it will work out. You just have to watch the whole season to see what does go on. I wish them all the happiness in the world. Take care.

Could be. It is just all but dispicable that they all claim "I know I will find the love of my life" or "I know my wife is here" and how much they love love love,
yet they seldom marry the one the "find" that they proclaimed to be so much in love with!
