1. I honestly want to know why we have so many Bachelors and Bachelorettes because I think it is killing us? Like I think we are all dying and I think The Bachelor is responsible for it. I wish I didn’t think this way, but I do, and it’s hard. But I think in 50 years we will all kind of stare at each other and think, “Why didn’t we stop this when we had the chance?” because it is the worst possible thing in the world and I can’t even hate-watch it because I find it to be despicable at a very core level. When I watch The Bachelor it’s like I’m staring into the uncanny valley, except for relationships. These are robot relationships and robot people and they aren’t even interesting or funny and why are we doing this to ourselves? Oh god I hate The Bachelor so much! I hate it so much that I want everybody to stop talking about it! I hate it so much that it makes my skin crawl when we talk about it but because I live on the Internet for a living, I have to read about it. I wish I could drop down a filter like you can on Facebook so I can just filter all posts about The Bachelor from my life, but I can’t. It’s everywhere and I can’t stop it so all I have is this little blog post about how much I hate it and I want it to die and how I think it’s poisoning us all.
