You Might Not Like Hurting People Jillian...



...But the producers at the bacholorette don't seem to mind rubbing salt in the bachelors' wounds! Reality shows seem to be biting back, against what, I am not so sure, but reality shows are getting cut throat. It all started this season when Jeff Probst all out harassed the contestants on Survivor saying things like, "This is just pathetic!" or "Now they are just making winning easy for the other team!" Now the bacholorette seems to be getting on the harassment boat.

Each previous season when the contestants were dumped on national TV they were given the common courtesy of getting a limo ride home (or to the airport or wherever bachelors go after being humiliated and dumped on TV). But this season ABC seems to have taken a page out of Jeff Probst's book and it's a no holds barred kind of season where after you get dumped on TV, you are further shamed with an embarrassing departure. Sasha had to take the BUS out of Jillian town, the Dave had to hop into a cab, and now worst, but I am sure not last, sweet bartender Robby was kicked off a train...next to a cliff...and a forest....IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! Then to make matters worse, and I guess this is where the producers decided that salt in a wound wasn't quiet enough and they got some alcohol to spray in there too, the train pulls away and we are left with a shot of Robby standing in the middle of nowhere with his three bags as the rest of the bachelors pass him from the comfort of the train car.

That's cold ABC, what's next? Jillian takes the boys out for a Pacific cruise and the guy who gets voted off that night has to leave in a life raft? If so at least have the common decency to blow it up for him!
