Now the reality shows are slamming each other. Lovely. Crossfire interviewed 'The Bachelor' about his love gone bad. At first I wasn't even going to read it. After skimming through the CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/02/11/cf.opinion.bachelor/index.html) page I ran across this:
MICHEL: I'm not going to discuss my personal life.
BEGALA: Oh no, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Guys, did all of you see this guy's personal life on national television? Come on, Alex!
MICHEL: I feel that I've already been extremely generous with everyone in TV land with my personal life. I invited them in for a six-week process, but at a certain point I've got to cut them off and live in private.
You should have thought about that before, smart guy. This guy gets paid to put his life on TV. Now he pulls a 'shy-guy' stunt when he thinks it's over? Bullshit. Little does he know it's just begun for him. His whole life is going to be a 'Where are they now' epilogue. I don't feel the least bit sorry for him. I hate these fucking shows.
BEGALA: Oh, come on! OK, let me ask about a different show. It is apparently a popular one as well -- "Joe Millionaire."
MICHEL: Apparently popular. You've been watching it?
BEGALA: OK, I'm living for it, man. And it's apparently, like all dates, based on a lie. Right? The women think that he's rich. ... Is that just a more grandiose lie than all the rest of us schleps tell?
MICHEL: Yes, well, I don't necessarily approve of that show. I mean, I think it is a lot of fun for the viewer, but I'm sure it can't be that much fun for the women or the guy. He seems a little tortured, though he should have thought about that beforehand. And I don't think they're going to be too happy when they find out.
No shit they're not going to be happy. The media is fooling around with unknown territory. You don't fuck with human nature. Especially in a country that's sue-happy. When these chicks turn around and start suing the pants off of FOX I'm going to sit back and cheer them on. If you're going to promise someone love and security, then show them a man who's lied to you and did it in front of millions of viewers, you had better be saving up for the settlement. As for the Joe M. guy, he should look tortured. Sure, money was part of the enticement, but it was wrapped in a marriage proposal. He's lying to these chicks. What happens if he really falls for one of them? It would fucking serve him right. I would love to find a guy who's wealthy and can support the two of us. But I'd rather find a guy who loves me and is honest to me. Everyone thinks that it's all about the money. People at work laugh about the chicks when they cry on these shows. How fucking cruel is that? No one likes rejection. If any one of the girls was dating a guy who ended up being someone completely different they'd be singing a different tune. Remember The Running Man by Stephen King? How people cheered for the players to lose? This isn't that far off of the mark. Will we ever learn?
