Bitches about The Bachelor
Bitches about The Bachelor by Roxanne McDonald

We have to agree that reality TV is better when the gentle and polite get caught on camera swearing and swatting bugs. |
I would have to agree with Maya Schechter, writing for TV Guide how The Bachelor would be “so much better if we saw the ‘real’ footage we’re supposed to be seeing on a reality show.”
It has long been determined (originally by Desmond Morris, I think) that if a camera is pointed at the person, he or she will act differently. We also know that the “cast” of The Bachelor: Rome are for the most part posturing for the camera,
for the other people on the show, and for us. Hell, even snooty, sooty, thinks- she’s-a-queen Erica is putting on an act. And, of course, Lorenzo, who no doubt is gentile in “real” life, is keeping up appearances with his exquisite manners and all.
But when The Bachelor: Rome Reunion airs and we see the slips, slurps, bloopers, and boo-boos, we are wont to say, “Hey! Why not give us more of the spitting, seething, swearing, and swatting…why not give us the host sticking a broom between his legs and saying how that’s a real woody…more often than once a season as filler until the finale?
The stalling of the reunion show coming before the finale is already an aggravating occurrence. How about listening to Ms. Schechter and other television aficionados and reformat—starting with making reality TV reality TV again?
