Ugh, I don’t love this. Especially leading with two women here — they’re trying to set up a cat fight between the two of them, which… we don’t need that in 2022.

I hate that tey're going to be competing for the same men. I hope they have different tastes for their sake. 

I feel like this is sooooo behind the times. Who needs this nonsense? No one.

I feel like they're trying to capitalize on some of the Love Is Blind magic by making all parties open to all. But that's not Bachelor. This feels almost too experimental for them. 

It's time, guys. It's time to stop watching the Bachelor/ette and move on over to Love Is Blind and other, more modern dating shows. They're grasping at straws over at ABC and it's getting weird.

Reality Steve got the low down on how 'The Bachelorette' is going to do two leads. Some highlights are: 

- They are both dating the same guys- and they guys can date both women. 

-It'll be one group date (with both leads), and two 1-on-1 per week (1 for each woman) 

-With hometowns, they are going to split the crew (unless they both want to go to the same person's hometown) and will be filming simultaneously.

I definitely think it's an interesting twist and there is a huge possibility they could like the same guy adding to the drama, which I'm sure the producers would just love. But something about it still feels so anti-feminist to me even though they said they chose them because of the way they were "supporting each other." Do you think they would have ever done this with two guys? I dk.
