    I don’t want them to cast more Black people. For reals. Honestly - right now that show is 100% unrelatable to me. It is one of those things “White people do” - like most horribly embarrassing reality TV. I’m Black & we already have enough negative images on TV - don’t put us on that damn Bachelor franchise as well.

    On a side note - if that behavior, you know...feeding frenzy over spending time with a plastic stranger & then drunken crying jags when he picks some other plastic stranger over you - is relatable, seek therapy or at least a decent self help book.

      30 seasons and no black woman/man ever made it to the top 4? Damn... How can you people have a black president and no black bachelor yet?

      When people complain about no black people on the Bachelor, I’m always like “I think we need to aim higher.”

      I loved this so much! I admit to being an unabashed fan of the show, even though, at 53, I’m not the demographic; however, I can tell you that, judging by posts on my Facebook page alone, women my age are huge fans. There are live blogs all over the place there!

      Hell, I even caught my teenage son getting a little caught up in it during his increasingly slow walks through the den on his way up to his dude room to watch sports. It’s funny and campy, and the predictability is reassuring. I’m excited for tonight, and I don’t even care who knows. Let the train wrecks and mermaid hair commence!

    I read Steve’s blog religiously last year for recaps and spoilers, but oh my goodness is it tough to get through. The blog is so rambling and smug, he loves to make his readers feel like they’re idiots.

    It should be noted that survivorsucks.com was spoiling the hell out of Survivor long before Reality Steve.

      It’s run by a bunch of different people though, right? And is more of a forum?

    Are they missing an opportunity? Probably.

    This right here is one of the reasons I stopped reading his blog. Steve, do you know that you constantly pose questions for yourself and then answer them? Probably not.

    I also vividly recall him mocking some of the woman for having gained weight throughout a season a few years back. I understand wanting to make fun of the show; I used to all the time when I was still watching it. But when you are internet famous because of a garbage TV show, I think you need to be aware of this holier-than-thou attitude.

      Irony.

    The only thing I have to add is that my old roommate LOVES the Bachelor and HATES Reality Steve. So, I threatened her with Reality Steve spoilers of the show if she didn’t help clean the kitchen and bathroom. Ah, to be 18 again.

      The contestants on this show and the reason people watch reality TV in general—these are people like me and you.

      I’m pretty sure the reason I avoid most reality television in because the people are not relatable. At this point people should know what they are signing up to do, which is to be humiliated on tv.

      And then of course there is the race issue. The mostly white women on the Bachelor are treated to luxury. At least on camera, since according to some former contestants the mansion had vermin and there was little to no food around. But then shows where the cast was majority minority participants like “Flavor of Love”, give the contestants housework.

        I don’t like him I can’t quite remember but I’m pretty sure I read that he was being incredibly sexist about Kaitlyn

          How is he claiming to not be a fan of the show if he watched it and blogged about it for six years FOR FREE before the Jason & Molly spoiler??
