I watch the Bachelor and Bachelorette. I do. And I want to write about it and how it makes me feel.

I've done something I am ashamed of

Knowing the ending does not spoil things for me. I flip to the end of books to verify certain characters stay alive, I read plots before I go to movies...SO, checking out what Reality Steve (a well known reality TV blogger known for his spoilers.) didn't seem like a dangerous idea.

DEAR READER: I will never spoil the show for you here. That is not my purpose.

I read what Reality Steve had to say about the Bachelor, and to be honest, it left me more confused. It seems he has a high rate of predicting the outcomes of reality TV, but I still can't decide if I believe him. Example, Rozlyn was removed from the show for her "inappropriate relationship." Reality Steve says that ABC manufactured the seriousness of this friendship to force Rozlyn off the show. She was, you see, very angry that ABC wouldn't let her talk with her son as much as they had originally claimed.

Ok, ok, I was ready to believe old Reality Steve. But after watching the show, the little snippets that they showed of Rozlyn's reaction left me believing something really did happen. Why would she act as if there were not words for her actions if she didn't commit some type of wrong?

My best friend, Stephanie, notes that she is drawn to place her trust in Chris Harrison, the host. I liked that response, but Chris is paid. If only we really knew we could trust Chris.

Who do we trust? And why am I asking for trust from a reality TV show?
