Bachelorettes

"We actually decided not to decide: For the first time in Bachelorette history, we're gonna have two Bachelorettes," Harrison said. "The 25 men on Night 1 are going to have the ultimate say about who they think would make the best wife."

Needless to say, the Internet is not especially thrilled with this decision, which is being viewed as a bit of slap in the face to feminism – and former Bachelorettes are leading the charge." - via http://www.people.com/article/former-bachelorettes-dont-like-twist

I was never really a fan of the Bachelor or the Bachelorette reality shows, but now I am beyond done. This show is already the most superficial, and degrading show, but  now with the new twist, that 25 guys will all vote from one night at a COCKTAIL PARTY which one of the two woman would make a better wife????? It shocks me that many people can still watch this show and even believe that it is not staged and these men and women and finding people they actually want to marry based on personality and their true self. I am also surprised since in today's society there is an enormous amount of pressure on females to be "sexy", and has caused the sudden rise in feminism awareness, ABC decided to go with the theme of competition between the two women which will be solely won by looks. And now this show brings back the gender representations of what it means to be "wife material". I feel ashamed to be a woman in today's society where this is deemed as acceptable because it's what's trending.

However, here I am, along with everyone else feeding into the drama and talk about it, instead of discussing real world issues like the Olympians that died in France, or ISIS's new plot, which is exactly what ABC wants. Their attempt at gaining viewers through a ridiculous plot is clearly successful.
