Because they suck? The shows, I mean - not the boys...
I like "The Bachelor" but the other shows are just boring, predictable and CHEESY. Especially "The Swan." It is on TV right now and I am watching it for the first time... the psycho-babble is sickening. I think they are brainwashing these women and they don't even make them look like better versions of themselves, they convince them that they need to look like entirely different people. It's gross - they don't even teach them to just be happy about their transformation, they have failed if they don't make it to the "pageant."
