It's so bad, but we just can't look away.

In This Article:

If you haven't heard, ABC aired a new show called "The Proposal" on June 18. Created by the same man who created "The Bachelor," this new show is if the Miss America Pageants and "The Bachelor" met and had a child. There is a suitor whose identity is kept concealed, in a very creepy way if I might add, and 10 daters compete in four different rounds to win their heart. At the end of the hour, YES a single hour, there is a proposal and the two run off together into the night as green screen fireworks play in the background.

Curiosity got the best of me so I of course watched the season premiere and WOW. I don't know any other way to compile my feelings about the show besides showing some of my favorite tweets about it.

1. The comparison to "Black Mirror"

We're really living in a simulation.

2. The mysterious identity

This is how ABC chose to hide the identity of the suitor.

3. The statement that really sums it all up

Big mood.

4. The quality Chrissy Teigen reaction meme

There won't be a single minute in this show when you're not making this face.

5. No wasting time here

This was probably how the show was pitched.

6. An eventful trip to the grocery store

A truly inspirational show.

7. Please cancel the show


Something that needs to be stopped before it even begins.

8. Step aside Miss America

Yes, they paraded around the strange man, who was hidden from view, in "their finest beachwear."

9. The million dollar idea

Now this is a show that I can 100 percent stand by.

10. We'll still continue to watch the insanity

It'll really get you sucked in though.

Oh the powers and wonders of reality TV.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
