I, for one, am outraged!
Is there a reason he speaks to these woman in a degrading way. I'd be the first one out. I think the WB could have found someone much more handsome.
He has an alien head...
I'd run.
Come on! The entire show is condescending and patronizing to "country folk". The "farmer" may be well-educated, but he puts his potential mates up to challenges like "BINGO" and "chicken-chasing"? How patronizing and full of sh*t is THAT!Women from this area of the country are NOT immune to fashion, self-sufficiency, and EDUCATION that goes beyond the Agricultural and "good-wife-learnin'" myth of the midwest that this show exploits. Even the bible-thumping ideals that seem to be so important to this bachelor are completely contrived and stereotyped. Quilting and animal husbandry are not any more important to a country-guy than a city guy. JEEZUUS! Guys want the same thing regardless of cultural background. They want an intelligent, well-grounded partner to share their lives with. A girl who cares more about her Prada shoes than her man is an easy target. Girls that can actually hold their own in the hard-working farm environment are looked on as "hicks". Give me a break. This article is crap. Women can be activists and fashion mavens and STILL know how to milk a cow. The producers should be ashamed. I believe Gloria would agree.
