This is my this my thinking.  TPTB aren’t worried about pissing off their loyal fan base of 36+ yrs olds. They need to increase viewership of the 19+ yr old viewership. I envision MF tweeting many lame jokes at Colton’s expense speculating who will deflower Colton etc. I can see teeny boppers salivating over the discussion.  Me, not so much. Give him some KY and a sock.

They had two quality candidates in Jason and Blake, and they chose Colton of all people? They must be angling for a younger audience. What a disappointment. Colton can't choose his own socks much less a girlfriend. Producer puppet, indeed. I bet they have his fiancée all picked out already. They will just need to give him a little shove in the right direction. *sigh*

I'm going to delete my account here, delete the bookmark from my computer and schedule a class for Monday nights. During Ben's season, I learned HTML and started my own business (shilling on my new website, LOL). I thought I was completely done with this stupid franchise until Nick was announced as the bachelor and I got sucked back in. I'm out for good this time. I absolutely cannot watch a season of Colton. Everything he does annoys me. The virgin jokes, the way he uses puppies and sick kids to promote himself on social media and the lying about his ex-girlfriend are things I can't stand. Heck, he says he's a pro football player yet he never played in an NFL game. I really don't understand why they would choose him to be the next bachelor. He's so wishy-washy and doesn't even know what he wants. None of my friends like him. My mom thinks he's a famewhore and she isn't into social media so only knows about what she sees on TV. Anyways, I had fun here but I'm done. Goodbye!
