I don't know what it is that would cause a woman to sign onto something like that, but I think you'd need to be an extrovert......which I am not. And I've noticed there is an underlying level of desperation on the bachelorette's part that is a little embarrassing and not at all attractive. It's just the way the show is set up, the women lined up at the rose ceremony like cattle at an auction. They are all, young, interesting, vibrant women but apparently have tried the normal route in finding their soul mate and have come up empty handed. Some of them are acting like this is their last chance at love. But I suppose it's not anywhere near as desperate as the mail order brides that came out west to marry their men sight unseen during the gold rush days.

I'm with you, Billie, I just would never, ever even consider putting put myself in that position.

Venturing a thought here that I’ve had before. I think a fair number of the Bach contestants, both male and female, are looking to further their own interests/careers.

Remember Bob Guiney, the curly-haired musician? He seemed to be ONLY interested in himself and his “music.”

Then, in this season, Lauren seemed to think she has some talent. According to her, her little song was the very best. So, yeah, some are there to be seen and most of the females look great in a bikini.

This IS entertainment. At least, it isn’t endless, like a soap opera.....

I certainly agree with everything you stated in your post, Lori. A person would have to be tremendously bold to do all the things they do together with all the directors, etc. standing around and millions of viewers. Its like the movies, I guess, they perform the same way, even worse!

I think most of those women are attractive and beautiful in their own way and they could find someone if they wanted to.
But just think, what would be talking about right now, if we didn’t have them to entertain us for a few months. LOL!
