A frivolous thing to give up but after the horrendous dumping of Melissa I have given up the Bachelor. I had given it up several seasons ago only to get drawn back in by his nice single guy story, along with 3 million other new viewers. I felt dirty watching After the Rose last night. My tuning in encourages the producers to continue with this craziness so I am voting with my tuner, tuning this out.
You are probably saying it’s a reality show, what do you expect. Even though those girls choose to put themselves out there last night reached new lows even for The Bachelor. I could read a book, spend time with friends, bake goodies to bring to work. Those would all be more productive ways to spend a Monday evening. Watching the paint peel would be more productive than encouraging such poor treatment of women.
I don’t want my niece or nephews for that matter to think that it is ok to be treated or to treat a women so poorly. I want them to be thoughtful and respectful, to have a strong sense of self and to believe they deserve better.
Thats all I have to say. Hopefully others will vote with their remote too.

I also just finished watching the bach.and bachett.and have decided that those shows are not for me. We who love the LOrd should fill our minds with better things.
I could not agree more.
I am constantly shocked by the bloggers who view this as MUST SEE television!
It is absolutely the saddest portrayal of “love”, “courtship”, and purity!
I don’t want to get too harsh…..but WHY DO CHRISTIANS WATCH THIS?
Proud to see you’ve walked away! YOU GO GIRL!
