What do you think? Do you like the Bachelorette TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?

Yes I do think that “The Bachelortte” & “The Bachelor” is the wast of time, for someone who shollow people. Put something better on
I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Whether real or not, it is fun watching and a great diversion from daily tragic news. Keep the show going, please!
dont like it. she should be with brad and i think that the show is about done. cant watch it with her on it.. i just think she shouldve stayed with brad.
They should cancel the bachelorette , I think they made a mistake putting Emily again. When she lied the first time accepting the last bachelor and now she is the bachelorette. She just want the money and nothing else. There are many women who could do a better job. Emily is boring and unsincere. This show. Is over for me. I am not even watching it.
The whole genre sux. I hope every one of these stupid dating-relationship shows tanx quickly. I’d sooner watch an old CONELRAD test pattern. Makes me glad to have over 150 channels & an X-Box 360.
All such shows should be on their own net, named “Garbage Central”.
Emily is a total bore and so are most of the poor men who were selected for this
Season of The Bachelorette. Emily should just stay in North Carolina with
her child. She is very insincere and I’m tired of her crocodile tears.
I haven’t watched this show for at lease 4 or 5 seasons. It lost its appeal for me. It is the same every season, just different people.
