It's your average Monday, you have work, class, internships, etc., but you always have one thing to look forward to -- "The Bachelorette" or the "Bachelor." Every Monday, my friends and I get together with a glass of wine and watch whatever contestant try to win the Bachelor or Bachelorette's heart. But the other day I was thinking, how ridiculous is it that this person is expected to fall in love and find the man or women of his/her dreams out of 25 people in only a few months. Now I know, the show is extremely entertaining, but if you think about it, it is also extremely dumb.

There have been 12 seasons of the "Bachelorette" and 20 seasons of the "Bachelor." Almost all have ended with a proposal, but how many have ended with a wedding or planning of the wedding?

We have Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins (this is recent, so who knows if it will last), Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried, Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, Ashley Herbert and JP Rosenbaum, Molly Malaney and Jason Mesnick, and Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter. I may be missing a few, but you get the picture, right? There should have been 32 marriages that resulted from this TV series and there are seven, maybe a few more. So why is it that people still try to be on these shows even if there is such a small probability that their relationship will work out?

If you think about it, it is very unlikely that you will find your husband or wife on a television show where you have 25 people, or so, to start off with. There is a high probability that you won't have a connection with many and that you may have somewhat of a connection with a few, but you only know them for a few months. Come on -- like do you realize how ridiculous that is? But yet, people continue to go on the show hoping that maybe they will find the "one.".Well, the "one" that they will spend a few months with and then realize that they have no sort of connection with.

Oh, and let's not forget, these contestants say they are in love with someone after going on maybe five dates with them and knowing them for just over a month. Again -- do you see how ridiculous this is. It's so entertaining to see these girls and guys cry over someone they barely know.

Millions of people tune in every Monday, with hope, that maybe just this one time,the season will end with a true, meaningful relationship that will last. And maybe, it's because we are all hopeless romantics that wish the best for everyone. But with all these failed proposals, I feel like the "Bachelor" series should start to realize that maybe this isn't the best way for one to try their one true love.
