Love or Drama? What keeps viewers watching?

Bachelorette Vs. Bachelor: Which Do We Prefer?

Many of us find ourselves gathering around the TV with some type of late-night snack and friends every Monday night. Why? The Bachelor/Bachelorette of course!

The seasons go back and forth between girl and guy contestants, but which do we prefer?

"The Bachelor" has one male, 20+ female contestants, and drama written all over it. Whereas "The Bachelorette" has one female, 20+ male contestants, and some drama.

It has been found that it's more entertaining to watch the drama behind the group of girls each falling for and fighting for the bachelor, rather than watching the group of guys attempting to impress the bachelorette. Also, in most opinions, watching guys fall in love just isn't as entertaining as watching girls fall in love. Women seem to have more of an idea of what they want and their goals in life than guys do. From the first interaction coming out of the limo and meeting the bachelor, the women are already thinking about falling in love, marrying, and planning their life with the bachelor. The men impressing the bachelorette don't have these immediate thoughts until they've fallen in love over time. Love is such a unique aspect of life that takes effort, care, concern, strength, and courage. Women are more eager to jump into love before actually being in love with someone as compared to men.

As a girl myself, I enjoy watching the guys impress the bachelorette as I can only dream of a guy actually going above and beyond for me as they do for her. On the other hand, I find myself very intrigued by the drama some of the girl contestants tend to stir up with one another. In Season 20 of The Bachelor, two women were highly known for their drama. Lace and Olivia, both enjoyed playing games behind what Ben Higgins could see, but this is what kept the show entertaining. If the show was actually just about love without drama, most viewers would not continue watching the entire season from start to finish.

Though this show is all about finding love, not all of the couples even stay together and there is not always a proposal at the finale. No matter which season or drama level, you can still find me on Monday nights with my eyes glued to the TV screen, keeping up with the latest gossip from the show.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
