The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - #3 - Media - Tweets - IG - *Sleuthing* - *Spoilers* - Discussion

Now that The Bachelorette has demonstrated its late-onset faith in me, it’s time for me to show I trust The Bachelorette: The PA hands me a release form to sign that will allow ABC and NZK Productions, Inc. to make me look like a total B-I-T-C-H on camera, should the storyline demand it.

"I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE PROGRAM MAY INVOLVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE," it reads. "I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND UNDERSTAND THAT MY APPEARANCE, DEPICTION AND/OR PORTRAYAL IN THE PROGRAM MAY BE DISPARAGING, DEFAMATORY, EMBARASSING [sic] OR OF AN OTHERWISE UNFAVORABLE NATURE WHICH MAY EXPOSE ME TO PUBLIC RIDICULE, HUMILIATION, OR CONDEMNATION..."

While The Bachelor and its fiancée The Bachelorette have been anchor programs on ABC for 13 years, the franchise has had good seasons and bad seasons. The last go-round, with doltish farmer Chris Soules as the Bachelor, was dead boring from start to finish—its March finale hit an all-time ratings low for the franchise.

The actual filming of the "date" we've all been waiting for, pumping up for, and prematurely reacting to, takes less than 20 minutes. The set up is this: Eight of the Bachelorette's suitors "rap battle" each other on stage, while the Bachelorette watches (also on stage). Rapper Doug E. Fresh hosts the competition (why not?), while LA Sunshine DJs. We, the audience, judge the one-on-one battles by screaming for whom we like best.

There is some excitement when one J.J. raps that another J.J. looks like a rapist. I'm pretty sure the exact line was, "You look like a rapist."

All of the suitors look like G.I. Joes, if G.I. Joes wore flannel shirts and expensive sneakers. I would love to reveal their names to you now, but I can't remember them. They are all named J.J., I think.

I hate to say this, but it looks like she is from Ireland.

Someone tell me there is a Bachelorette Ireland?

ETA: Correction Liverpool.
