A Mormon Wife With a Secret Life Was Never the Right ‘Bachelorette’

Swinger?? I need the tea on this

To be fair being the Bachelorette means you’re dating 20+ guys at once on TV, so I don’t think the swinger part is a dealbreaker.

Right? They coudnt vet anyone else??

I’m just still baffled this alien lookin basket case was gettin multiple dongs We cannot be this hungry can we

Reality tv in its early days was producers taking advantage of the average persons naivety. Now people have wised up and largely the only people willing to do them are themselves pretty gnarly people. It's kind of broken the concept Imo. I loved reality TV growing up and watch 0 of it now. 

The sad part is that the bachelor / bachelorette have cast some amazing matches that have resulted in long marriages with kids and everything. But now everyone just goes on there for clout / to be IG famous

No one wants to watch these people. We want to see people throw poop at the wall and act like idiots. It makes us feel better about ourselves.

So you've always been a fool.

As someone who grew up in the Mormon faith I can tell you there are few who are good people. I’m glad I got out

Honestly most of the women on the show have distanced from the religion. I saw a video jokingly describe her as ethnically Mormon and that’s probably the most accurate description

Qualifying as a “good Mormon” would be as troubling as whatever Taylor is.

I’m not here to judge per se but I’m trying to figure out how is she a Mormon with multiple baby daddies let alone going on a show where she will ostensibly be sleeping with multiple men. Isn’t all this against the religion?

The requirements for being a "good" Mormon are as complicated as their afterlife flow chart.

Vet, not Corvette

They knew, but went ahead anyway. They do very thorough background checks. They didn't care until the ex released that video. They wanted someone with an established group of mom followers. They were stupid to pick her anyway. Wholesome ABC/Disney choose to have a woman with two baby daddies. Don't they know their core audience??

That’s not all Americans. Just American Christians.

Even in America we think Mormons are a strange breed

Huhh…… The irony

Read the article because of your comment. The article never explains what this woman actually did to mess up the show. A lot of words, even a passing mention of the “mess” but no actual detail: “But beyond the concerning realities of the industry, the Taylor Frankie Paul mess ultimately reveals not only a misalignment between a show and its audience, but a broader shift in how we understand “reality” itself. In trying to straddle two opposing paradigms, The Bachelorette ends up satisfying neither. Savvy audiences can now sniff a manufactured arc from a mile away, even when it’s given a veneer of “authenticity”; spectacles and stunt casts come off as increasingly contrived and desperate for relevance. “

Where are you from?  I'm just curious bc I'm sure I can pull up a celebrity from a vapid reality TV show with exactly the same face lmao.

I am right on the same page, it's bizarre. faces like Margaret Qualley's stand out like a neon lighthouse now - any roundness, softness, or expression is somehow out of fashion right now? freaks me the f*** out. it's like the beauty standard has become "the worst you ever looked at rock bottom of an adderall addiction"

Same phenomenon as looking at a car wreck
