It may seem stupid, but I have just thought I would ask.Right now, between working on my sites, and looking up at the television, I just ran into this trainwreck of a show called The Bachelorette. I am saying trainwreck because for some reason I cant tear my eyes away from it, as these guys jump through hoops for this young lady, who by no means looks like an Angel, but rather a bit of a tramp. The commercial break showed three jump clips. Bodies being oiled, a light in a bedroom window being turned off, and the Bachelorette bawling her eyes out.In the intro apparently one if the guys who was jettisoned last week made it through multiple weeks attempting to woo this lady and he had a GF at home, and when let go from the show lamented only for a moment but he seemed to be very happy because he got so far in the show with all the other contestants knowing he had a GF back in Texas.Now after a series of three dream dates(that must have cost a fortune for the producers), the female is now walking along the beach and looking up at the stars and beside herself with Agony that she will have to let one of the Ambercrombie and Fitch Triplets go home.My question is this:Knowing that they use a boatload of creative editing, and god knows what else, would you appear on one of these shows as either the Bachelor/Bachelorette, or as a contestant? Would you be willing to stick your neck out there? Would you do it like this one guy did and join the show knowing you had a significant other back home?Also, do any of you think that someone can really find a meaningful relationship in one of these shows? This is the first time I have forced myself to watch it, and with all the exotic locations they travel to for the dates and all the deluxe accomodations etc, do you think you could really fall for someone on one of these (and I will use this term loosely "productions"?

GrimmReality is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thanks for the answers. Yeah T.O.I, I saw the trailer for "More to Love". It looked like the one contestant ate Jerry Lewis before the lights went up. Kind of reminded me of "Average Joe" That was a classic showI can only imagine how much in reality the winner of that show or any of the romance reality shows will have in common with the star. Dreadful stuff

 No I would not,but if you think these shows are expensive, think again. Reality shows like this are extremely cheap.
Star Trek TNG cost at the time over 1 million dollars per episode and you got too shoot those eps WAY in advance because they take ages to finish.
So when a game shows offer a CHANCE at winning a million dollars, that ain't actually expensive.
And a dream date would hardly cost a million.

 These shows are the worst!! Oh God, they are just such crap. Who wants to fall in love on a television show - not that I think that's really, even possible. With all the crew work, editing, cameras everywhere, hair and makeup, all that crap - who in the world is thinking about, participating in the act of falling in love? You're not creating a relationship, you're having a relationship created for you. And you're competing?? Now everyone just wants to "win".
What a load of crap. I've been seeing advertising for a new reality show called "More To Love". http://www.fox.com/moretolove/ Bachelor 2.0 - the guy is such a friggin' schlub!!
After awesome shows like MASH, I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, Star Trek, Seinfeld, MST3000, welcome to 2009. Creating new classics every season!
