ABC’s The Bachelorette just started a new season and everyone is putting themselves in JoJo’s shoes. People all have their own idea of how they would handle the guys, the drama, the dates and the rose ceremonies. The structure of the show hasn’t changed all that much from the beginning up to now but if I were the bachelorette everything would be different. I mean everything.
I’d have way less men.
How can you possibly handle 26 men? It just seems like way too many, I’d get so many people mixed and possibly end up sending someone home that I didn’t get the chance to know because I’m getting names and personalities mixed up. About 10 guys is the max I could handle and they’d need name tags at all time.
The drinking would have to be limited.
Drunken idiots make a fool of themselves on national television and that’s the person I’m supposed to bring home to my family? Definitely not, a maximum amount of drinks would have to put in place and then nothing but coffee and water for the rest of the night.
I’d have age restrictions.
If I’m in my mid-20’s why would I want someone in his 30’s? We’d be in two different places in our lives and it’d just be weird. I know sugar daddies are a trend but it’s not one I’m willing to join.
All of my dates would be awesome!
I’m talking amusement parks, Yankees games, scavenger hunts and flying planes. I don’t want to have the basic dinner dates every single time and save the fun activities for group dates. I want to have fun dates with the one on one dates so I can truly have fun with one person because that’s what it’d be like dating me in real life.
A lie detector on the first night would be great.
Their first impression can be cute and all but just because you’re charming doesn’t mean you aren’t a snake. I don’t want a season of people that are only there for the fame or to become the next Bachelor rather than being there for me.
I would love to set distance limit like on tinder.
It’s not fair to either of us if one has to uproot their lives just because we’re all of a sudden engaged after knowing each other for two months. I’d want someone at least in the same state so one of us can commute to our job and not have to leave work and friends.
They’d have to meet my friends.
In real life friends know all about a guy before a date is even established. It wouldn’t have to a super formal meeting just a dinner with the guys and some of my closest friends without me, so they can find out the truth. They’d be more effective than lie detector to be honest.
They would have to be single at least two months before casting.
Too many time have their been rumors and scandals about someone being in a relationship or breaking up with someone to be on the show. It would almost make me feel like the side chick if someone was back at home waiting for them or if someone had their heartbroken just so their significant other can be on television.
No group dates.
I want to get to know everyone there individually and not have some of them feeling like they’re fading into the background because they aren’t going to step over people just to talk to me on a date
They would have to an actual profession.
No more professional twins or hipsters. I want to know what you do, not because I’m going to judge you on how much you make but because if we’re going to be engaged you actually need to have a job.
We aren’t getting engaged.
If we were being honest I wouldn’t truly know him. I’d know him in a confined setting but that could be totally different than how he is in the real world or around his friends. We could agree to start exclusively dating because I was technically with 25 other guys the entire time he was vying for my love.
