A couple questions about The Bachelor

papa3x

My wife is watching it now... she loves it. Personally I find the show both repugnant, and demeaning to women. I would pray that neither of my daughters would ever do that to themselves.

So my question is, have any of the couples actually STAYED married? And how many divorces / ugly breakups have there been?

I don't watch the show so i don't have an answer for you! I tried watching it once and just couldn't do it. I don't know how the show has lasted SO LONG.

Ive watched the last 5 seasons or so.. except this season I only watched maybe 4 episodes because I cant stand Ben or Courtney.. There is one couple that did get married, I cannot remember their names but you can probably look it up. & Ashley & JP are still together, they're planning to get married soon but didnt reveal when. I would never go on a show like that. I'm already married anyway, but still, they go through so much drama & crap from paparazzi & have to 'hide' until the show airs.. it's rediculous & usually once they get out into real life, it's not the 'big fairytale' like they portray it to be on the show. It's just something to watch on tv that gets ABC's ratings up & gets the world talking.. that's the only reason it's still even on the air.

I think this is season 16 . . . ish. 1 couple married for over 5 years with 2 kids (she was a Bachelorette).

Yep only one couple has lasted and gotten married - Trista and Ryan. And so far, Ashley and JP seem serious. Jason Mesnick married the runner-up of the show (he dumped the winner and married the runner up) so techinically no, but yes.
