This time around The Bachelorette started with a pair of eligible ladies. By episode two, Britt Nilsson was sent home and Kaitlyn Bristowe stuck around to look for a mate. Was Bristowe the right selection for the ABC series? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a 12th season? We (and host Chris Harrison) will have to wait and see.

What do you think? Do you like The Bachelorette TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 12th season?
Brutal season! I actually didn’t mind kaitlyn all that much as the bachelorette, until I saw her interview where she and shawn poked fun at Nick regarding the ring toss. I also hated the eye rolling when he attempted to gain closure on ATFR. She showed her true colors. How could two people be so inconsiderate, self-absorbed, and disrespectful toward another human being…..one that kaitlyn claimed to love. She and shawn are truly disguisting people who deserve one another. Obviously, shawn WAS jealous of Nick, for him to claim otherwise is ridiculous. I am disguisted with the producers for casting… Read more »
ABC is well regarded for buying product that comes across edgy and borderline soft porn. There Sunday night product has historically been a disaster. Remember PanAM, now Astronaut wives, Mistresses, etc. Then there was the product about cuckolding in NY and LV. It is all trash and cheap to produce. If you want change then just express that and don’t watch.
I would still renew it because, no matter what, it is entertaining. You should have sent Katlyn home after she had sex with Nick. You could have focused on Britt and how past season relationships were going. People would still watch and Bachlorette would have maintained intregrety.
the show is a disgrace do hope it is cancelled. Trash Trash, almost can not watch itched.
Kaitlyn was set up to fail by ABC when they announced two bachelorettes and the men get to pick who they want. Made the show a joke.
Since the beginning of time, I have been an avid fan of this show.. Obsessed one may say. Although I feel it’s a hard addiction to break, I must say this season may possibly be the worst, ever.. No fun dates at all. fighting with sumo’s and each other, a 5 min. kayak, dinners that all that is done is big make out sesh’s… The worst of all, hearing them have sex.. I felt like a huge perve listening to two people go at it. The producers should have cut that.. What happened to the cocktail parties, and the rose… Read more »
I’m starting to feel sorry for Jame. She seems to really not have a clue what she’s done. It’s clear she’s also been very intimate with Shawn. Went to his room and spent the whole night. He’s trying to be a gentleman and not explicitly say that except the time he blew up to his friend on the crew and said he couldn’t watch her “bang two other guys.” Does this girl realize that f she gets pregnant she won’t know who the father is without a test? Dos she realize these men have mothers and sisters watching who won’t… Read more »
First line change Jame to Kaitlin! (Tho I was feeling a bit sorry for myself, earlier, if for far different reasons.
I just can’t watch it this season. I tried but Kaitlyn is not the usual Batchelorette material. I am so disappointed.
Kaitlyn is the absolute worst Bachlorette ever. She is her own worst enemy.She brings in.a guy like Nick who has made a career of hanging around the Bachelor crowd, then wonders why the other guys are confused about her decision making. She tops that off by sleeping with Nick then spending the next four episodes worrying Nick might tell the other guys.they had sex. What an unwatchable disaster. Nick and Kaitlyn should be exiled to Bachelor in Paradise…another unwatchable piece of dreck.
from the first day i have been a devoted bachelor bachelorette fan. i never missed it. not any longer. the purity and fun of the show are over. i watch So You Think You Can Dance instead. kaitlynn is not bachelorette material and i resent the producers for disrespecting us so much to make her the bachelorette. it was stupid to have the two women and then choose which one on the premier. give me a break. do the producers think we’re stupid? just do anything for ratings and we’ll just take it? brit was eerie and fake, both choices… Read more »
THE GIRL WOULD SLEEP WITH A DOG.
Does anyone remember when Chris Harrison announced this season’s shocking announcement that two women. He said that the producers were split right down the middle. Then he asked the audience to decide if they wanted Kaitlyn or Britt and the audience overwhelmingly (and quite wrongly) made it known that they wanted Kaitlyn. Then Chris (at the first show of the season) that THE MEN were split down the middle. Chris, do you enjoy doing all that fabricating of facts. If it was the good old days of this show, the producers would have chosen Becca. Please go back to the… Read more »
I haven’t watched this season due to the person Kaityn who asked to plow Brad’s fields in a trashy way. If you want a classy show, go back to your original format and leave this smutty season where in belongs…in the trash. I have heard that this woman sleeps with just about anyone she feels like sleeping with. What the heck are the producers trying to do with this once innocent show.
