The Bachelorette

I don't know how many of you watch (or are willing to admit they watch) the TV show, The Bachelorette. I have been meaning to post a comment on this show the last couple days, but have been sidetracked by our move across country. I have to say that The Bachelorette is an awful show. I wish I could say that when I say, "it's awful" that I am making a crack at all reality shows. I'm not....even though I wish I was! I'm one of those saps that can shamefully admit that I like a handful of reality shows and even some other shows that are popular amongst the ladies (i.e. Glee). I'm sure I lost a few blog readers after that comment. Who am I kidding? I only have three followers...nobody reads my blog!

Back to my main point...the Bachelorette is awful because I refuse to believe that is how we should find love or enter into a relationship. I couldn't fathom being a guy or girl that simply gives their heart away to ONE individual who goes around "test driving" a bunch of different people. There's a reason these relationships don't work...it's built on fantasy and make believe. I can see why people get frustrated with reality shows...it's not based on reality. It makes for some good drama and some great gossip, but in actuality it destroys a lot of people's hearts. God did create us to enter relationships that way. Yet how many people give their hearts away like these people?
