I am amazed by the consternation regarding the Bachelor on the ABC reality show dumping his new fiance and going with someone else whom "he really felt for and had a connection".
I am amazed for three reasons.
One- when you have one guy flirting with 25 women publicly on national television, can there really be something exclusively intimate?
Second- If you are one of those 25 women who knows that you are chasing someone who is chasing others, you are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment anyway, right?
Third- I amazed the show is still alive- it is patronizing, horribly manipulative and reality TV gone too far in my view. And why do I say that? Finding your life partner is an incredibly personal decision, something that required introspection and careful thought, two areas completely alien to anything on reality TV. Second, in this particular case, the bachelor had a son from a previous relationship and involving the little guy into this mess would completely ruin his head. Its one thing for adults to play around, lets not kids involved- please! Third, apart from the bachelorette Trista, there is no one whose story on the show has ended remotely happy. So history is against the show too.
Take it off air please. Enough is enough.
