Reality television has been an obsession of mine since an early age. As I have stated in class, I have been an avid Bachelor/Bachlorette fan every since the first season with Alex Michel. I remember so vividly watching the first season at my Aunt Laura’s just like it was yesterday. Not only am I a devoted Bachelor watcher, so are the females in my family. My mom, Aunt Laura, cousins, and Grandma watch the show religiously. At every commercial break, my Aunt Laura calls my mom to discus the drama and dates that the couple goes on. On The Bachelor there are always overdramatic women that are crying for his attention or arguing with the other women. Franklin says reality television allows individuals to distinguish themselves from the reality stars, which I think is true in most cases. There are women on the show that I mock and honestly can’t stand to listen to. On the other hand, there are women on the Bachelor that I start to form parasocial relationships with. Ali Fedotowsky first appeared on the Bachelor season 14, but decided to leave the show due to her job being in jeopardy. Ali was a front-runner with bachelor Jake Pavelka. She then determined she was going to be the next Bachlorette on season six after her departure. I was delighted when I heard this news because of the simply fact that Ali was a down-to-earth, outgoing and real individual, whose favorite color was yellow (same as MINE!) As one could see, I have an obsession with ABC’s Bachelor/Bachelorette. Some people may say I have a problem, but I take pleasure in watching this on Monday nights and I am content with that.
