I think the answer is a resounding yes.

My wife watches the goddamned bachelor shitfest, and at any given time, at least early on, she can tell me what's going to happen.

"So and so is going to freak out and get sent home, so and so will get emotional and get sent home, and they're going to play up drama between some **** and this other ****."

It's astounding.

Reality TV is worse than the AIDS epidemic of the 80s.

My wife has stopped watching them around me. She knows I despise that garbage.

My wife loves it when I walk through when that noise is on because I can't help myself and make jokes about how awful it is.

That lasts about a minute then I'm out.

I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine anyone watching that crap. What could possibly be the draw?

Serialized storytelling, the defining characteristic of soap operas, has completely taken over dramatic TV. Pretty much everything is a soap opera or a reality TV show.

I know, I know... you're talking about those low budget nonsense daytime shows, but still.

Yup. Reality TV is the new soap opera.

Hard to tell, but a lot of women are really into it. As far as I can tell (just a guess) it's the romantic escape aspect of it, but who the hell knows? Whenever my wife would tune into that crap, I would come into my office and jump on-line. Talk about garbage TV.

I’ve asked the wife that very thing. She doesn’t know TBH. She says she just likes to shut her mind off and wind down.

I’m guilty of that some too. Nothing near as terrible as the bachelor but I’ve turned stuff on that didn’t ask too much of me as a viewer.

I think another aspect is how outrageously reeruned it is. Much like how otherwise reasonable individuals watch political shit.

I’ll be honest. I’ll judge a politics watcher before a bachelor watcher.

MTV ultimately ****ed us over with their programming.

Do you remember 'Fear Factor'?

People will do pretty much anything to get on TV.

People who work in the industry have told me that shows like this are 100% fake at this point. Everyone knows what is coming from seeing the show, so there's no chance of actual surprise anymore. You can tell because all the shows follow the exact same script.

If they don't have employees misbehaving at the beginning, there's no show. You think they're gong to go to all that trouble placing hidden cameras everywhere, setting up the show, and then go "Well everyone here is solid, bar looks fine. I guess there's no show."

As an aside - I used to live in the valley - every single bar I used to like has been ruined by this show. They've been turned into "mixology" bars with mostly the same shit but 3x the price and a new interior. (Pat's Bar on Riverside if you're a fan of the show.)

They even ruined the only decent BBQ place in the valley - opened by an ex-gates employee. The turned it from a bar on one side and a BBQ restaurant (which wasn't bad - think Zarda - which is mega-elite BBQ for LA) on the other side - into one giant bar with shitty BBQ.

I was burping liquid smoke for hours after eating there. Ugh. (Kansas City BBQ - turned into "The BBQ Bar" - even the name is stupid.)
