Let me make one thing clear: I don't like reality TV.
Other than fashion, beauty or singing competitions, I am known to roll my eyes when my dear-dear friends remind me about their rose obsession.
The rest of it, to me, is just pure trash. Pure and simple.
Scenic locals and over-the-top dates aside, I have no doubt that most people watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette because of the train wrecks they both are.
Seriously, where do they find these people?
These women are hog-wild crazy and don't seem to notice that millions of people are watching the well-edited cliche of every mans crazy female fantasy.
According to these shows, single women are an annoying combination of insecure sorority debutant's, dumbed down by years of entitled daddy issues.
So dumb are these women, that they seem to think that displaying their ugly inner beings while spewing venomous commentary against one-another will somehow, someway, bring them closer to love.
As much as I hate, to hate on these shows, the one thing I always loved, is that Latinos (as in my people), were rarely, if ever part of the show.
I recall, only recently, telling a friend that no-self-loving, proud, smart, educated Latino (or Latina), from gente bien (or de buena familia) would even think about going on either show.
Not only would it (culturally) cast a dark cloud of shame on their family, it would also show the entire world that they, ahem, needed a team of producers to find love.
¡Que Vergüenza!
Oh, it get's better.
Somehow, a few idiots have banned together to, get this: sue ABC and the producers of both shows because they "have racially discriminated against applicants seeking lead roles." Read the entire article here.
To them I say, "Did you miss the memo? NOT being on either show is a good thing."
I probably will send a "Thank You Card," or love letter of sorts, to the producers for not embarrassing my people on national TV, that says:
"Thank you for not casting a gum-smacking, foul-mouthed, big-haired, Chiquita Banana to represent all Latinas in the US. Sincerely, Me."Personally, I prefer to believe that Latinos are too proud to even consider applying to be cast on either show, and that this lawsuit is simply a way to get ink.
What do you think?
