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?
This year’s show is a train wreck. I couldn’t believe Kaitlyn was the bachelorette. There’s been lots of needed liberalization in society’s views about sex, but do we really want our female role models to be publicly asking men to plow their fields? Kaitlyn is reaping what she sowed in her barely-disguised disdain for Britt. Now the country disdains HER for her behavior. Her private sexual conduct is one thing, but the world hasn’t changed so much that public wantonness is approved–even for males, and certainly not females. The sex education class was tasteless. Also, I didn’t enjoy the group… Read more »
You have the Producers to blame for destroying a entertaining,endearing love search into a disgusting ,vulgar charade of bad taste.
From day one.. I disliked Kaitlyn and saw her as a silly, vacuous dip stick.No class at all and her voice is torturing to listen to. How was she chosen? Fire them all.
please cancel all these dumb and boring shows. They only appeal to females . So tired of this one and survivor and ninja warrior. Seems like ninja is on every other night. We need more shows that challenge one to think above the 3rd grade level!
This 11th season is awful, the worst yet. The weekly activities the men are taken part in are boring. Please go back to the old format.
This season is an absolute disgrace and complete mockery of The Bachelorette and its origins. They took one of my favorite shows and turned it into Jersey Shore! Actually, I’d prefer to watch Jersey Shore over this season! You won’t catch me watching at all, and I know most of my friends feel the same way! I enjoyed watching The Bachelorette because it was one woman crying instead of 25 or 30! Then they bring back two of the most infamous, conniving whores and the last thing on their mind is finding true love…and they deserve everything Karma has headed… Read more »
it is the worst bachelorette that they have ever had. She is boring, classless and not interesting at all.
The franchise has finally gone too far. As of the ending last night, I will never watch another episode again. The few good men on this season deserve better. I hope Kaitlyn finds what she is looking for, but by the looks of it, she’s not even sure herself. It’s been a good ride Bachelor/ette, but this girl is O.U.T
I completely agree. This season in particular is ridiculous and not worth the time. That sumo wrestling date was utterly stupid and really annoying. I had to turn the channel.
I think if it were Brit that was chosen it would of been a whole different story.She has class and beauty. I dont have much to say about Kaitlyn except that she has neither.
I cannot watch this season.
Please cancel this trashy show. I haven’t watched this season because I didn’t like the premise. But from what I had read and heard it is one smutty and disgusting shows on tv.
I have watched every other season but this one is just too much. I think they have really jumped the shark on this one.
I have watched the show for years but will never watch it again. Everything about it was totally disgusting and in unbelievably poor taste. The guys were humiliated and embarrassed and so was I. Don’t ever put children in a situation like you did. There was nothing funny about it. Oh! I am so angry!!
This once sweet and innocent show has turned into a disgusting ratings disaster. I’m not watching this season. Please go back to your original format.. Until then you are just one more show that thinks that the average citizen only wants smut.
Me and my whole family were horrified at the show last night. My children couldn’t believe what went on with the children they actually hid. Their faces and yelled change the channel which we were already doing. We will never watch the show again. Worst show ever. Totally disgusting . I still can ‘t believe all of it. We finally watched another channel, never to watch Bachelorette or Batchelor show again!!!!!!
This is, by far, the WORST Bachelorette you have ever done!! It is raunchy, in bad taste(who in the world would want their young kids listen to such garbage about sex education the way these guys are doing itt?!!)and it should be stopped and not allowed to go any further!!! I am glad that Brit didn’t have to go through this..she has a nice guy, who, by the way, is lucky he didn’t have to be a part of this, and they don’t have to put up with the cameras!
Bad show this year!!!
Who ever scripted this evenings’ bachelorette production ought to be fired.
just disgusting ! We changed channels quickly. Unlikely that we’ll return.
………………joe…………..
I agree. It was horrible. I like this show and look forward to it but last night was disgusting and had to change channels.
I hope there is a other season of the bachelorette season
This is an example of a waste of tv. Sorry ladies but guys usually don’t buy into it. It is contrived and overplayed. Time to cancel this bore.
I agree 100%. this season is trashy, to put it gently!
