Well, Juan Pablo, I can officially say I am done watching you find 'love' on The Bachelor. I'm all for freedom of speech- it is an integral part of America, but Juan Pablo's comments are insensitive and intolerant. You don't have to think having a homosexual relationship is okay, but it doesn't mean that those who do are less than you. No one is saying you have to live it. To say they are perverts (because dating and making out with 27 girls at the same time isn't perverted) who wouldn't be a good example to have on TV (a ballsy statement for someone who had a child out of wedlock, is no longer with the mother, and is now dating a city of women on a television show) is just wrong. Juan Pablo YOU are part of what is wrong with television and you are NOT a good role model (even before the comments). Even worse is that in his 'apology' (ie damage control) he blamed it on a language barrier and didn't mean pervert. Um, 'pervert' in Spanish is 'pervertido', pretty much the exact same word....
I had the pleasure of removing The Bachelor from my TiVo season pass and can go back to enjoying television that I actually enjoy watching. I hope, for his daughters sake, that he is able to teach her tolerance, acceptance and that he is able to find love in someone who will also love her. Adios, Bachelor. Its been fake.
What do you think? Think the comments are blown out of proportion? Will you stop watching this season?
