ABC's "The Proposal" Is A Prime Example of Successful Bad TV

It's so bad, but we just can't look away.

In This Article:

If you haven't heard, ABC aired a new show called "The Proposal" on June 18. Created by the same man who created "The Bachelor," this new show is if the Miss America Pageants and "The Bachelor" met and had a child. There is a suitor whose identity is kept concealed, in a very creepy way if I might add, and 10 daters compete in four different rounds to win their heart. At the end of the hour, YES a single hour, there is a proposal and the two run off together into the night as green screen fireworks play in the background.

Curiosity got the best of me so I of course watched the season premiere and WOW. I don't know any other way to compile my feelings about the show besides showing some of my favorite tweets about it.

1. The comparison to "Black Mirror"

We're really living in a simulation.

2. The mysterious identity

This is how ABC chose to hide the identity of the suitor.

3. The statement that really sums it all up

Big mood.

4. The quality Chrissy Teigen reaction meme

There won't be a single minute in this show when you're not making this face.

5. No wasting time here

This was probably how the show was pitched.

6. An eventful trip to the grocery store

A truly inspirational show.

7. Please cancel the show


Something that needs to be stopped before it even begins.

8. Step aside Miss America

Yes, they paraded around the strange man, who was hidden from view, in "their finest beachwear."

9. The million dollar idea

Now this is a show that I can 100 percent stand by.

10. We'll still continue to watch the insanity

It'll really get you sucked in though.

Oh the powers and wonders of reality TV.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
