The Bachelor: The Most Unforgettable-Ever!

barish

But perhaps my biggest takeaway of Jason Mesnick’s Greatest Ever episode
was the fact that this show is truly terrible at its supposed intended goal.
I couldn’t help myself and looked up The Bachelor’s Wikipedia page to see how many
Bachelors have actually ended up with their final choice, the woman they proposed
to on national television. Laid out in graph form, it’s plain to see how flawed this “journey” really is: Only three Bachelors have wound up with women from their season.
(The Bachelorette has a far superior track record.) Incredibly, a whopping two out of
three of those successful relationships are with runners-up WHO WEREN’T PROPOSED TO.
(Jason and Molly; Arie and Lauren.)

I know I probably shouldn’t find this statistic hilarious but I really do.
It’s just incredible when you think about the premise of any other reality show:
Lose weight! Win money (by winning a race or outlasting others)!
Learn whether or not your relationship is completely broken! (That last one is for my fellow Temptation Island lovers.) Those all have regular, reliable successes aligned with each show’s “hook.” Meanwhile, The Bachelor is all about optics; demand an on-camera proposal, and who cares if they’ve broken up by the time that episode airs.

It’s smoke and mirrors, all frosting but no cake. You could blame this on men
(the players) for not knowing what they want, but the culprit is the show (the game), which history has shown us is evidently designed for failure, not success.
