After The One

After The One (Part 2 of 2) The insta-love. The perfect couple. The enchanted fairy tale. The concept of �happily ever after� on reality TV is beautiful, but it�s complete B.S. I mean, I get the appeal. The One is the most watched reality TV dating show because it sells the idea that two people �randomly� handpicked by producers will fall in love and ride off into the sunset. We are expected to believe that after having a group of women embarrass themselves for the affection of a man on national television, the bachelor and the chosen one fall in love and they live happily ever after. Let�s be honest. Shows like The One are really about fantasy romance and must-see entertainment�not happily ever afters. That�s why the creators and producers don�t show what happens after the exotic getaways, lavish lifestyles, and over-the-top proposals. Even though reality TV relationships never last, they want us to buy into the fairy tale. Truth is� when the cameras stop rolling, the number one killer of reality TV couples is real life. And life just got REAL.
