I watch this show with my friends, but it can be a bit racy and can have bad language. After all, the show is about finding love.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Bachelor
Parents need to know that although this is a "reality show," it's clearly not reality. Plus, the contestants make catty comments and backstab each other, wear revealing clothing and bathing suits, and sometimes drink too much. The Bachelor kisses several of them, and a few go on overnight "fantasy" dates with him. There is some frank sex talk and occasional profanity ("bitch").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's unrealistic premise. Teens will understand that this isn't how the dating world really works (most people don't go on dates with five other competitors; spend long periods of time in hot tubs, fancy hotels, and limos; or get rejected in front of millions), but they may have questions about some of the show's messages, including the idea that a young woman is a failure if she's single and that marriage is the ultimate goal for a woman. Ask your kids about the show's artificial setting and how it affects the dating process. Can you really find true love in six weeks? What do kids think about marriage? Do they think the show accurately represents how young people feel about getting married and finding a partner? Would they ever consider competing in a show like this? Why or why not?

it was great
the last espiode was very instering because i liked the way that travis played with monas' mind a bit at the last cermoney, and also the way that he kept sara guessing if she was the one for him or not. so yes i hope that there is another season of the batchelor.

Not really a good show for anyone.
This show is just plain awful, for kids and for adults. It is called reality tv, but there is no reality involved. Only supermodel types are chosen and the bachelor has a scant few weeks of interaction to decide who to be with, so his decision is based basically on who is the most beautiful and who annoys him the least. The social message from this show is ridiculous. Waste of time.

Definitely not for kids
Why would anyone let a child watch this? It's awful.
