When the debate comes up about whether Reality TV is quality television or not, I'll be one of the first to tell you that most "Reality" shows are the bottom feeders in the great ocean of content available on broadcast and cable TV. That being said, the competition subcategory of Reality TV is my favorite in the genre and a lot of quality shows come out of it. "American Ninja Warrior," "Shark Tank" and "The Ultimate Fighter" are usually my go-to reality competition series. It's pretty easy to see why these three shows would appeal to me.

As a martial artist, "American Ninja Warrior" and "The Ultimate Fighter" motivate me to keep training to become the strongest I can be both mentally and physically. "Shark Tank" is cool because I get an insight into what investors look for in a product, which provokes my creativity. If I were to watch these shows on Netflix or Hulu, it's unlikely that ABC's "The Bachelor" would pop up in my recommended queue. This leaves the question: "Why would I want to watch it?"

On the surface, it would seem as though nothing from a show about twenty-nine women fighting for the affection of one man would appeal to me. Who cares, right? What has sucked me in, however, is the psychological aspect. It's kinda like that "You vs. The Guy She Tells You Not to Worry About" meme times thirty. As the show progresses through the season, the women form friendships with each other. To know that your friend is making out and growing more intimate with the same person that you're interested in leads to a constant roller coaster of emotions.

To add even more drama, each season (or at least those that I've kept up with) the producers introduce us to a villain whose primary purpose is to break bonds and cause utter chaos for the Man of Honor. This season's villain was Fitness Coach Krystal Nielson and boy she was, as a pro wrestling fan would call her, the ultimate heel. Not only has she thrown tantrums for attention and verbally abused the other contestants, but she had the audacity to call bachelor Arie Luyendyk a "needle d*ck" (which is kinda funny considering his last name).

Even with these factors, I'm still not entirely sure why I struggle to change the channel when "The Bachelor" comes on. Reality TV has a sneaky way of putting me in a trance it seems. Regardless, I followed along this season and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm just a dude who wants to see these women find happiness, whether they discover it on the show or not.

Also, at the time that this article was written, the winner has not yet been announced. That being said, I honestly don't care for either of the final two contestants. Kendall would've been my final pick. Share your thoughts in the comments.
