silvangold I have only seen snippets of this show when flicking through channels & I have read a little about it. Is it true that he wanted to see the women with kids, and see their cooking skills? I don't like the guy at all and can not see the appeal. Is he someone famous or rich?? Otherwise he appears to be as boring as watching grass grow.

More than one girl at a time isn't really that fitting for my situation. It'd be nothing more than an ego stroke in my mind... However ...... The Batchelor isn't designed to be from my understanding. My understanding it's about throwing a guy in amongst a group of women and letting nature take it's course .... - Posted from rhpmobile

The whole concept of this show is too silly for words... One male and a dozen females trying to win his affection... I feel embarrassed for the girls . They are made to look desperate and silly .. No... I watched the end of 1 show once for about 15 minutes.. That was enough..

even seen an ad for it. I think the whole concept though along with that of that Farmer show with the city chicks is absolutely stupid. Then again, me being on here and looking for more than a shag is pretty fucking stupid too!

Quoting 'Meeka100' silvangold I have only seen snippets of this show when flicking through channels & I have read a little about it. Is it true that he wanted to see the women with kids, and see their cooking skills? I don't like the guy at all and can not see the appeal. Is he someone famous or rich?? Otherwise he appears to be as boring as watching grass grow. Meeka,I have only seen it occasionally, but I did see those episodes.. The premise of the show is that he is looking for a life partner (believe it or not). They do have "group dates" where all the women and the Bachelor attends. A "group date" on RHP would have an entirely different meaning and outcome I expect .In the context of the show, all the girls and he went to a childcare place and they played with kids and mucked about. I guess he was interested in seeing who is good with kids. They also had a cake bake off and it did show some women who had amazing skills and some that had no idea. He didn't have to bake something, but I think he helped them out. I like to watch it because you see the personalities of the women competing for his attention. The funniest and maybe cruelest, is they set up a private date with the most "Princess" type and went bowling and going to the street pie truck for dinner in her ball gown. She cracked the shits, which I guess was the point of it, because all her competitors had been taken on helicopter rides, yachts and the like. Silva

Quoting 'ralf74' even seen an ad for it. I think the whole concept though along with that of that Farmer show with the city chicks is absolutely stupid. Then again, me being on here and looking for more than a shag is pretty fucking stupid too! You are not stupid to be here! You don't know what you might find unless you look. As to the show's concept, it is similar to Farmer Wants a Wife, but it's more of "City Slicker Handsome Hunk Real-Estate Agent Wants to Hook Up with a Model for Potential Strings Attached Relationship, But Really Just the Publicity"

Was just talking about this at work today. His voice does irritate me somewhat as does his constant niceness and understanding, who in real life is that agreeable all the time? Secondly i was discussing today that if i was taken on any of those dates i'd run a mile. Way to romantic for little old me makes me shudder It's like a car crash, you can't turn away

I do not watch it but make fun of it as I find the premise of the show quite misogynistic and trully condescending on the women. Not sure why such gorgeous young women would put themselves in such a bother for the 1 man. ridiculous. not my cup of tea but maybe for somebody else. the little I see in the ads makes me not want to see it further... I put it in the same basket as big brother and all the shitty mind-numbing shows...

My 11yo daughter thought up a MUCH better name and version of the show. Titled "Bitches be Kray Kray"...... the Bachelor was put into the same house, with OTHER non competing bachelors.... and the women need to figure out which one he IS.... and that should sort out those competing for a man, or a prize. Clever girl that one. DG

Shows like this make my blood boil..... Honestly, who would want their daughters to watch this drivel?The whole Cinderella concept gone awry. It imprints on our female children that there are not enough men in the world to go around and to get one you have to claw your way over all your sisters? It's completely fucked!

Quoting 'Burning_Love' Of running other people down OP. Disliking the show is one thing, being unkind about the man seems unnecessary. - Posted from rhpmobile Fair comment Burning_Love, I actually thought I was complimentary about him, apart from his voice. I actually think he's quite a catch for whomever snags him. Also, in a subsequent reply, I said I enjoyed watching the show. I posed my question to elicit a response, as it is a dating show, and this is a "dating" website. I thought there would be some polarised views, but it seems most don't like the concept or execution of the show. I wonder what the public reaction would be if it was a ratio of 20 blokes trying to woo 1 woman...hang-on, that sounds like RHP haha I'm supportive of people getting out there and following their dreams, even if they are risking public ridicule. So more power to him. We'll probably see him hosting his own show one day. I appreciate your reply, thanks Silva

A friend of mine is addicted to the show. She has threatened to cut my balls off if I call whilst it is on. The guy is like Buddy Franklin if he had been dropped on his head as a child. I just don't get the attraction.

Any man or woman that would choose to be to be on a show like that, or any reality show (minus informative documentaries) for that matter, would not be someone whose mindset I could share. I've watched a few episodes over the years (mainly of the American series), where the batchelor* claims even until the second-last episode he's still not sure which woman he'll choose.Sure, of course he has to say this to keep to viewers glued to their seats, but I've seen the guy make out with both of them up until the end, just to be sure. WTF?if I were one of the women in question I'd tell him just where to go. Though I do suspect most of them join up just to get their face on TV, not because they're actually looking for a relationship. DG, your little miss is a smart cookie. *The Bachelorettes have been no better!

I got the gist of your post. And I saw that you complimented him in a few ways. I just thought the unkind remark about his voice was unnecessary. He's a human being, after all, and if we don't enjoy it when people pick us to pieces then it's best if we don't do the same to others, surely. Do unto others ... and all that. Just my opinion, and based on some of the other posts, I appear to be in the minority :) Quoting 'silvangold' Quoting 'Burning_Love' Of running other people down OP.

not a fan of this show, or others like it. Only seen the ads for it, and have watched a little in the doctors waiting room (no choice). I just can't see the sense in shows like these - it is all falsely crafted. But I can see why the networks are interested in doing shows like these - as mentioned, to some people it is just like watching a car crash and they can't help themselves. Personally, I can avoid them with ease. Also as mentioned, I think a few of these likely lasses are more in it hoping to be as a possible venue into something else - to get their names / faces known.As for the flip side of the question, I couldn't seriously consider being the male subject of a show like this. I am not interested in having my life dissected in front of a TV audience, but I would feel so sorry for the girls having to put on so much false bravado in order to just to have the opportunity to get a date with a guy. I feel it says something about the self esteem of girls that would consider this type of exposure. Tall

I managed to watch only 15 mins of this utter rubbish. The women on that show drove me nuts as they are jealous, catty, snivelling, insecure and just plain stupid. I pity any man that had to put up with them! Pusscat xxx

DG, your little miss is a smart cookie. *The Bachelorettes have been no better! it seems funny to say this on here, where it is normal to smile while watching your beloved moaning under a new friends husband... and you're behind his wife... and his wife is kissing yours... yet we can't accept that someone might like two people at once and struggle to choose between them? I actually love watching this show, Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise... Bachelor Australia season 1 was boring as batshit, but this one they've done a good job getting girls who'll go a bit nuts (even if the guy is a bit bleh - as far as the editing shows) I don't see being the Bachelor/Bachelorette as such a terrible gig to have - the TV station pay for some pretty intense training so you can whip yourself into the shape you want for free; then they put you on a 12 week holiday around the world with 25 generally attractive potential dates; if you do happen to hit it off with one so much you want to marry them, they pay for the whole shebang as well. And if you play your cards right you can pick up easy money from your new "media profile". It's an extended all expenses paid holiday. It isn't intellectual, it is viewing for fun, watch it and mock it - make a drinking game about the cliche terms; enjoy the producers trolling the princess - does she get the civilised date on a superyacht? nope, skydiving so her face contorts in the breeze. Does she gets ferraris and fine dining? nope, bowling and a "dirty street pie" - Best Line Of The Season. (I'm quite partial to a pie at Harry's)

I'm a secret addict. (Not so secret now) Definitely 'mock worthy' but fun, funny, light, mindless entertainment to accompany household chores. It amuses and interests me how judg-ey people are in these forums - like everything's a moral issue. So strange considering this is a sex site. Each to their own.

Sure this season's Bachelor is hot but they present him to be soft and kind and considerate of the girls while remaining driven and strong and masculine - All attractive traits. His voice is 'nice' and while I don't find it dreamy it's not unpleasant to me in any way. In honesty, though, it's not for him that I watch it. I enjoy watching the girls interact with each other and react and process their emotions. It's like a human experiment. All the while keeping aware that it's all edited and scripted to make the most of the situations for entertainment purposes...of course ;)

I like mindless entertainment to relax to at the end of a hard days work.You don't have to think too hard or even try to keep up with a plot.It's just noise and sometimes very amusing.I haven't watched the Australian ones....just because they are not on when I feel like it.But...I loved the American show "Burning Love - burning down the house".What a crack up. as for going on a show like this, or any reality show, No Thank You.You open yourself up to all sorts of ridicule and advice. But good luck to those that do.

Isn't this show all about finding that ONE life partner, propose during the final episode and ride off into the sunset together? Now if there were a similar show about polyamory, where the bachelor(ette) could choose more than contestant at the end, I'd certainly be watching!

sometimes we all like something you dont have to think about too much, dont we? It never ceases to give me a good chuckle when the topic of reality tele comes up. There are always the ones who declare vehemetly they would never watch such rubbish....then go on to bag it out. How can you do that if you havent watched it Obviously there are some folk who take the category of light entertainment way to seriously. @silvangold.....cant say that I have ever heard the term insipid ever applied to such a deep voice before.
