ABC’s Bachelor in
Paradise is a popular attempt to entertain us. The audience is split
between all-ins and the I’m-not-liking-certain-aspects.
The premise is simple: put a bunch of bachelors and bachelorettes
together in a tropical resort. Ask them to pair up or risk being sent home.
Who doesn’t want a vacation with someone beautiful or
handsome? This is how it starts for many who come on the show.
The controversy starts with the various strategies or lack
thereof of the contestants.
The approaches are:
1. Just have fun.
2. Find what you hope is your life mate, stick to him or
her, and hope for the best. Every year at least one couple gets married.
3. Keep your eyes open if someone more suitable shows up and
dump the person you are with. (New people come every week.)
4. Be friendly and hope someone sees merit in you. This
passive approach doesn’t usually work.
5. Bitch and moan about what others are doing on the show.
Being negative usually doesn’t work.
6. Figuratively stab someone in the back. Being an asshole
is a ticket to being shamed on social media and becoming undesirable. It is
also unethical.
As always, watching or panning depends on the preferences of
the audience.
