There have been many attempts by reality shows to help people find their true love. Throughout the many seasons of The Bachelor, Rock of Love and A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila, I am almost positive that there is only one couple who actually got married and who is still together to this very day, which would be Ryan and Trista from The Bachelorette. At the rise of reality television, some of these shows genuinely wanted people to find their soul mates, however today it seems that the purpose is more for entertainment. Do the viewers watch for the thought of someone finding love or for the entertainment value?
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette were some of the first reality shows where people were looking for love. The basis of it was that one guy or girl would have a choice of about 12 prospects and each week they would cut one or more of the hopeful men or women. Today, the same type of reality show contains ridiculous contests in order for the hopefuls to spend more time with the one they are going after.
I have never met anybody who has been on a ‘find true love’ reality show, nor any reality show for that matter. However, I will admit that I have watched at least one season of each of these shows. From the looks of it, these reality shows seem to be more focused on getting attention rather than actually finding someone to spend the rest of your life with. During the Bachelor, all the hopefuls would dream of getting engaged at the end of the season, but with a show like Tila Tequila, the hopefuls aren’t even sure if they are going to be in a relationship with the infamous Tila. This just proves that the contestants today would rather focus on getting all the attention rather than actually finding true love.
