Well, I'm torn. Before Rachel's season I had never watched The Bachelorette, and prior to Nick's season, I hadn't watched The Bachelor since 2010 . I gave up due to the tone and exclusivity of the show. When all the chatter about Jubilee started trending, and after I watched seasons one and two of Unreal, my suspicions about The Bachelor franchise were cemented; it's a heavily manipulated show that sells fake reality. It clearly isn't geared toward my demographic. But when I learned Rachel got the first impression rose during Nick's season, out of curiosity I tuned back in. Logically, I knew that it was all smoke and mirrors - an answer to the charges of racism that gained speed after the Jubilee drama. The storyline was clear from the start of Nick's season. Rachel was going to be the first Black lead on a Bachelor show. In one way it was good for symbolism's sake, but how its played out - not so good. Her show has followed the same trend as the other seasons, and the message that puts out is not one I'm comfortable with. Oh well, we can chalk it up to entertainment at the expense of others. She'll get her entertainment career out of it, so will Bryan, Peter, Eric, and Dean. But as an African-American woman this doesn't endear me to the franchise. Nor does it accurately represent the challenges and triumphs of black women in the dating scene in a real, just light. So I will not be tuning in to future seasons. Look forward to the day when reality television gets back to its roots (season 1 Real World style). True social commentary that makes you think and challenges you beyond your myopic point of view.
