Reality TV
The show has learned all the wrong lessons from past seasons.
Joey GraziadeisBachelorseason began with its share ofsweet moments,can I steal him for a sec?
drama,and the return of a pesky Bachelor Nation tradition: siblings trying to date the same guy.
Both looked for love onBen HigginsBachelorseasonin 2016 andBachelor in Paradisebefore marrying men outside of the franchise altogether.
Putting Drama Over Love
Sure, pulling a sibling switcheroo is kind of funny!
But its probably not conducive to a real-life connection.
That isnt to say Lauren and Allison areunserious.
(Their officialBacheloroccupations includebeing each others sister.)
ButThe Bachelors dating format is already,by necessity,so removed from real life.
Layering another gimmick on top of the whole rose-filled journey sets up both Joey andthe sisters to fail.
BachelorSiblings With A Twist?
With all that being said, theres obviously something compelling about siblings in the TV dating world.
Their season was most interesting when the suitors had to decide which Bachelorette they felt a closer connection with.
That way, youd get some tension while still giving each sibling a fairer shot at finding a match.
Plus, can you imagine the discourse?
The endlessdiscussions with friendsabout why youd choose the soft-spoken educator over, like, his free-wheeling artist brother?
(Im getting trope-y, but you get the idea.)
Anyway, ABC, call me!
