With the new season premiere The Bachelorette comes the news that Brad Womack has ended his engagement to Emily Maynard.
One has to wonder whether it would be possible to find true love on a reality television show anyway.
Has society become so dysfunctional that we need to meet this way?
Is it just an extension of on line dating?
Or is it just a remix of classic dating shows of the past?
It’s been suggested that many a Bachelor joins the show with motives other than finding a partner, such as building their business profile.
I guess though that many have gone into relationships in the past with ulterior motives, so maybe it’s just that they’re a bit more honest bout it now?
Obviously the show’s followers enjoy what they see, as the ABC show’s ratings rose by 4%
It will be interesting to see if the current Bacherlorette, Ashley Hebert, can maintain enough to keep the ratings up, and if she does indeed find true love after twelve weeks?
That then is the question, Will Bachelorette 2011 turn into the series that see true love bloom as well as being a ratings winner for ABC television?
We’ll see…
