My family and I have been watching "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" for as long as I can remember. Even though it is seen as a controversial show because of the short amount of time these people are supposed to fall in love, and the element of competition thrown in there as well, you would always catch my family and I sitting around the T.V. on Monday nights ready to indulge in the drama. We knew that it was not the way that falling in love was realistically supposed to happen, but there is something so addicting about the show that keeps viewers like us drawn in.

This particular season of "The Bachelor" has kind of made me want to ram my head into a wall. I went into watching it already not liking Colton (who is this season's bachelor) because of "Bachelor in Paradise," where he dragged Tia along until the very end, and then decided to dump her at the very last minute (maybe because he got the tip that if he did he would be the bachelor). I decided to put my biases aside though, and give him a fresh start. I didn't watch Beca's season, so I really didn't know what kind of person he was beside the douche bag on "Bachelor in Paradise," but now watching his season, I want to smack him in the face. He is the most annoying, surface-level Bachelor that has ever been on the show.

Which leaves me to question this: How are 30 women attracted to him?

Not to rip this guy apart, but there are so many more attractive guys out there, who actually have good personalities. He looks like an overgrown baby, and he acts like it too. He is about as entertaining as a log and reminds me of my middle school crush Timmy, who couldn't form a sentence on his own and was only known for his pivot role in our 7th-grade football team. Colton continues to surprise me with his stupidity and shallowness.

He repeats the exact same thing to each girl. When he is explaining why he likes the girls in the interview sessions, the only words he uses are, "gorgeous, incredible, amazing, and funny." I'm pretty sure all of those words were on my spelling test in the fifth grade. To his credit, he is not given that much time to spend with every person, so making that in-depth connection must be difficult. I personally, would die of an anxiety attack if I was the bachelorette and had to pick someone who I have only exclusively hung out with a maximum of four times to marry.

The limited time that he does spend with the girls, it doesn't seem like they do much talking.

At least the show doesn't make it look that way. The dates are mostly filled with exotic places and make out sessions. And look, I get it. A physical connection is extremely important in a relationship, I am not disregarding that at all. But when you have such limited time together to get to know each other, it is important that you do more than just make out, you really have to try and talk about real-world stuff. As for the dates that's about all that happens. They go to a romantic dinner where he sits there like a toddler nodding his head along to what they are saying, not really making any contribution besides saying, "thank you for sharing." Like, um, you're welcome?!? Don't thank them for sharing that is the stupidest load of crap ever.

You guys are speed dating you are supposed to share things with each other!!!

So far after seven episodes, the only thing I know about Colton is that he used to be fat, he used to play football, he loves kids, he lives in Colorado, and he is a virgin. I swear to god, if they mention he is a virgin in one more episode I will lose my cool. He claims that he is a virgin, but he is willing to lose it to someone he cares about and he doesn't have to be married. Seems fishy to me. If this boy doesn't start acknowledging what these girls are saying and start sharing about himself too, he is going to end up alone. Why do you think so many girls this season have left because they "didn't feel a connection"?

As much as this show grinds my gears with its inclusivity, lack of diversity, and overbearing amounts of stupidity, I still am here 10 years later, continuing to watch the show. Maybe one day I will come to a point where I actually can't handle to watch it anymore.

God, I hope that day is soon.
