Even though I still watch every Monday night.

4 Reasons This Season Of "The Bachelor" Is The Absolute Worst

This season of "The Bachelor" has been called the most “dramatic season ever,” but I’d beg to differ.

The women are awesome this season and have made it more enjoyable to watch, but Arie seems like he questions why he’s on the show every week. Here are a few reasons why I’m not a fan of "The Bachelor" this season (despite the fact that I watch it every week):

1. Arie’s Minimal Vocabulary

Arie’s most favorite words are “amazing” and “wonderful,” rendering his descriptions of every woman and every destination sound exactly the same. He talks so much about how he’s feeling, but he honestly never says anything. Especially when his monologues consist of something similar to “Peru is just so beautiful. Kendall is amazing, wonderful, and quirky.” What does that really mean, Arie?

2. The Bowling Group Date

This date was so awful and truly I’m not sure how half of it made it on TV. Arie literally licked a bowling ball (why?) in a weird preview to the date. After the date ended, Arie had the audacity to invite both the winning and losing teams of women to the cocktail party that night. Krystal lost it and didn’t show up to the cocktail party, because she felt betrayed by Arie. So of course, Arie goes to comfort her, taking time away from the non-petty women.

3. Hometown Dates

This season’s hometown dates felt forced to me, especially because Arie told every set of parents that he was falling in love with their daughter. Kendall’s family seemed less than enthused with Arie and with the prospect that Kendall would want to be engaged. Lauren B.’s family couldn’t believe they were meeting another prospective husband of hers. Even Tia’s family (rightfully) had their doubts if Arie was the one.

4. Lauren B.’s Personality

Every week, I am stunned that Lauren B. gets another rose and that Arie can’t stop talking about how deeply he is falling in love with her, despite the fact that she says about 10 words each episode. Lauren B. seems like a nice girl and I can understand how she is so nervous, considering she’s been engaged two times before.

BUT, Arie constantly is telling her how he “sees it” with her and she had to know what she was getting into when she chose to go on the show. No matter how much Arie says he sees a future with Lauren B., I am certainly not “seeing it.”

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
