I know I’m among the few that doesn’t watch “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette”. I think it is one of the dumbest shows on TV and definitely shouldn’t be shown during the eight o’clock hour when kids are watching! It’s the same old thing every time it’s on. I hope it has had it’s ‘last stand’!!
I think it has run its course , it is the same thing, season after season after season , girls acting like high school , Peter has had his lips on WAY TOO MANY females already ….. get with Hanna B and call it a rap !
I agree Jill. Wrap it up!!
