The Bachelorette: JoJo

On that first night of the Bachelorette when all the guys meet the her and each other for the first time and they are sitting around the living room of the bachelor house checking each other out, what do you think is really going through the minds of the non-Caucasian men?  Let’s put a little “reality” in reality TV shall we.  Out of twenty-five guys there are probably going to be four or five men of color, which on this season’s bachelorette with JoJo, there were five.  Now if any of these guys have watched the show before they know a couple of them will be cut the first night.  The remaining two or three guys would know that they will most likely me cut between rose ceremony 3 to 5 and there is no way they stand any chance of making it to the finale and get that final rose.  The most they can hope for is to get a quick make out session with the b

achelorette.

So why is it that the show’s producers are so afraid of diversity on the show?  Are they afraid people won’t watch it?  While they may be that shallow, we their audience are not.  Would I still watch the show if the bachelor was African American or Asian?  Absolutely.  Or why do all of the guys have to be so perfect, why don’t they include someone who is in a wheelchair or has an artificial limb?  There are some amazing and really hot guys that have handicaps.  Not only is the show starting to get boring with the same old thing, two white guys and a white girl and the end but it’s so obviously prejudicial.  Come on producers get with the times, a little diversity would go a long way.  Not to mention have more faith in your audience, we’re not all raciest.  Give us some variety, mix it up, don’t be afraid, it’s ok.  The world isn’t black and white (or in your case white) it’s filled with all different colors and shapes.  It’s a beautiful world out there, open your eyes and explore.

Big Brother 18

Ok I admit it, I am hooked on reality TV and I don’t even know why because very little of it is actually “real.”  Most of it is staged or manipulated but yet I still watch it faithfully.  Right now I am watching Big Brother 18 and even worse I subscribed to the live feeds but in my defense I am an insomniac and am often up late at night and there is nothing on TV late night so the live feeds offer some entertainment. 

I have to say there are some seriously stupid people in this group of house guests.  These people went to college, which just goes to show you that you can send someone to a good school, buy them books, pay for an expensive education but you can’t fix dumb.  Seriously the ignorant things that come out of their mouths makes you wonder how they survive in life without a tutor.  I know a major part of succeeding in the Big Brother house is having a good social game but it would drive me crazy to be in there and not call these people out on the stupid things the

CBS

y say.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  Natalie, Jozea and Michelle were sitting around talking about abortion.  Michelle said she is pro-choice when Michelle chimes in and says she is too after all ever month when a woman has her period she is having an abortion!!!!  What???   Who taught her about the female body the homeless guy on the corner?  Crap, buy a book, search the internet, ask your tutor, the info is out there.  

Things soon moved on to the kitchen area where Michelle couldn’t stop talking about great the cucumbers tasted when something was said about eating natural foods.  This is when Jozea chimed in and said that’s why he didn’t like to eat carrots because they weren’t “natural” food.  What the heck does that mean?  Carrots are grown in a Petri dish or maybe they are made up of other ingredients and baked like cookies.  And this is coming from someone who has compared himself to the Messiah and Obama.  Well, you know what they say, “stupid is, is stupid does.”
