"Intense Pain"

So after watching the Paris Bachelor finale, I've concluded that that show is perhaps one of the most horrible things entertainment has done to society since its invention.

Basically the Bachelor is the purest, most refined source of emotional crack that could ever possibly be fed to a national audience. Random person A creates "genuine" connections with opposing gender people B C D .... and then makes a choice. Seems pretty innocent on the surface, just a normal extrapolation of the early dating shows and what not.

But man, when that girl got rejected, and got into that car, and then started saying those horrible things... that was like the whole reason those producers put money behind the show. Who gives two shits about Mr. & Mrs. Tennessee when you have this gorgeous girl thoroughly embarassed, reaching the depths of emotional hell while the cameras are pointed at her. Everyone can relish her utter shock and dismay first-hand. And no other show can promise such payoff without scripting it over a number of seasons.

Shit is dangerous.
