There are few shows I hate more than The Bachelor / Bachelorette ...............
And it may just be that the people complaining were simply a subset of the type of people that would watch such a show. Personally, I never heard of it.
However, If I had been watching a show and there was a tornado warning, I’d consider it based on where I live. If they felt the need to spend more than a minute or so talking about it, I’d change the channel, assuming I was not already on my way to my storm shelter.
The show ought to be called “The C*ck Carousel” or “The Baloney Pony Show.” Who wants to propose to a slut who’s just plowed through 20 guys ?
