If you've been living under a rock since 2002, you've missed 22 seasons of The Bachelor and 14 seasons of The Bachelorette. I'll take the liberty of catching you up to speed.

Although women love to hate men that will woo and romance multiple women, often seeing multiple women at once, they sure do love The Bachelor. But who is the "lucky" man that tries to find love on a staged reality TV show?

Well, each season is a different man deemed "eligible" to find his wife out of 25 women. Now, you might be asking yourself, "how does one weed out a possible good wife from a group of 25 eligible women?" That's easy- it's all bullshit.

Take a look at their spin-off show, The Bachelorette. One eligible woman has to find her true love among a pool of 25 male contestants. The Bachelorette is usually a reject from The Bachelor, a runner-up contestant that couldn't find love.

The premise is the same on both shows. The leading man or lady greets the contestants outside of a mansion on the first episode. Each week, a rose is given to contestants whom the bachelor or bachelorette would like to keep on the show, given at a rose ceremony, sending the contestants without roses home and out of the game.

Basically, they're finding their fake love by playing a stupid game and toying with people's emotions. I'm sure the bachelor or bachelorette have slept with one or more of the contestants, which further plays into the bullshit concept.

How is someone expected to find their true love on a damn TV show, getting to know 25 people who all live together, and finally picking their "husband/wife" after a few weeks?

Out of all The Bachelorette winners, only six are still married. For The Bachelor, one received a proposal and is still married, out of 22 seasons.

Creator Mike Feiss confessed that some of the contestants are given personalities and characters to play, because "they need their fair share of villains." Season 4 winner of The Bachelorette Jesse Csincsak, revealed that contestants must follow producer's storylines that were fabricated in the editing room.

Season 13 contestant of The Bachelor Megan Parris commented that the producers edit the footage to create a fictional storyline. "[Producers] will berate you, bully you, call you names just to get you to say what they want you to say," she said in regards to the "confessionals," where contestants talk to the cameras on their own.

To recap, this is a fake show where a man or woman has to date multiple men or women at once to find a husband or wife, although most of the contestants have fabricated personalities, and most of the relationships or marriages will end in separation, because real relationships aren't created on a TV show.
