This summer. “The Bachelorette” has been a bummer.
Maybe it’s because the people have been fairly normal, and not the usual jackals who compete in this crap fest.
Last night’s episode fell 11.6% from the prior Monday, and this was the one where all the guys come on and gossip about the previous episodes. This season’s ratings have averaged 2.3 million viewers, down about 1 million from the last season.
Next week is the finale, and it seems like anyone who’s interested already knows the ending. The Bachelorette, Charity Lawson, is smart and has a career as a child and family therapist. She’s not the show’s usual airheads. She’s also a college graduate whose primary focus isn’t on her nails or volleyball. So that may have turned off the TV audience.
Isn’t it time all of this ended? I know it’s cheaper to produce than real TV shows, and doesn’t need writers because no one would take credit for this junk. The ratings suggest the audience has lost interest. Time to cut bait.
