These types of shows are trash TV. The appeal to the lowest common denominator in the viewer (predominantly women unfortunately). There is no attempt by the show to promote any virtue is any of the performers on the show. There is a formula that is expected and the stick to it. Yes, it is a reflection of our society as the show is supported by millions of viewers. The best way to remove these types of shows is not to watch them in any form.

As my friend Kody said, this show is like a train wreck: it's horrible, but you can't stop watching it. I think it is worth discussing whether a Christian should even watch this show given the unchaste behavior displayed; Katie and I don't have cable or satellite TV so we watch it over the internet, which allows us to skip over objectionable parts of the show. However, this show is enormously popular with tens of millions of Americans and is an indicator of what our society thinks about love and relationships--it is not a pretty picture. One of the men on the show was so bold enough to say that he thought he would be open to having children in 5 years or so, to the amazement of his brother that he would be ready for children "so early" (the man is already like 30 years old). Hi Robert–yes, this is Devin.
