The Bachelor/Bachelorette Exposed: The Loose Cannons Of Reality TV's Most Popular Franchise

First up: The 'Roseanne' cancellation. In an unprecedented move, ABC has pulled the enormously successful sitcom reboot after Roseanne exposed herself as a real-life racist. In TV land, what does it mean to be 'difficult'? How is bad behaviour handled by producers and what are the consequences for a hit show?

Main event: Our behind-the-scenes chat with a production manager onThe Bachelor. Bachelor Nation is the unofficial name for fans of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. You don't need to be a fan to recognise that the show is FULL of loose cannons. We’ll talk about some examples of shitty behaviour, slutshaming, and general bullshit on- and off-screen and how women are represented and respected – or not, in some cases. It's a franchise that despite it's stupidity, manages to inspire intellectual debate – so can we be feminists and still enjoy this show?
