The Bachelor

[bbrauch2000]

Last night my girlfriend was in a truly awful mood and apparently it was because in this year's Bachelor finale, the guy sent both chicks packing and didnt propose to either

 

Has there been a pop culture slap in the face towards an entire gender like this one in the past?

[Team Canada]

I'm not sure how not proposing is a slap in the face to all females.

[Barbs4339]

I wouldn't call it a slap in the face, I would call it a new way to generate buzz for the show. Since none of these relationships ever work out anyways, the producers probably got him to agree to just dump them both to get people talking, which people are now doing. With this writer's stirke, there will probably be a franchise of Bachelor/Bachelorette type shows coming soon just like Law and Order and CSI.

there are just as many writers on "reality" shows as there are for a sitcom

[Katuluu]

Yeah, but those writers aren't eligible for membership in the WGA.

[jwill535]

isnt that one of the issues of the strike is to get those writers in?

[Katuluu]

Yup. Currently writers for reality shows don't receive any residuals for their work, and don't receive any health benefits or pensions.

[Team Canada]

It's just good incentive for them to get real writing jobs.

 

 

 

Kidding.

 

Kind of.
