When Love Doesn’t Take Over: Why The Bachelor Franchise In Australia Is Over The Top

Handsome men. Gorgeous women. What do they all have in common? They all want media careers and they’re doing it to gain fame and fortune! In other words, they’re not looking to find love and happiness. They’re just looking for their 15 minutes of fame. While it’s not true for some of the contestants that compete on the dating reality series The Bachelor, it is for the majority of them. The Bachelor franchise began in 2002.

It doesn’t matter if the perpetrator is male or female. They all do it. They pick on the weaker ones so they appear to have the upper hand. This only gets them eliminated from the game sooner.

All in all, The Bachelor franchise has no right to air in Australia. It’s just another reality show that could very well be a drama series about a small country town somewhere in Australia. The franchise creates monsters out of its contestants by turning them on each other and forcing them into situations they wouldn’t otherwise find themselves in. The money used to make these shows is better spent elsewhere and on something actually worth watching. There is also enough drama on the news about people’s lives so adding fuel to that fire just isn’t worth it. In my opinion, folks, turn your televisions over to a show like Neighbours or Home and Away which are actually worth watching for their drama-filled
