Letters to reality TV shows

Dear ABC/The Bachelor/Chris Harrison:

Did you really need to take up four whole hours this week with your show? I mean, I know it was officially 'The most dramatic Finale ever' and everything, but seriously. Four hours?

Look, I can write it in three sentences: Jason was a good guy everyone loved, so they gave him his own show where he could hook up with as many girls as he wanted with no consequences. Turns out Jason is a Douchebag and in addition to getting way more than his 15 minutes of fame, also gets a lot of money from ABC to propose to one girl, and then break up with her and switch to another girl in front of millions of viewers. Oh yeah, and the next bacholorette is from Canada.

See?

Succinctly summing up your show -
me



Dear Chris Harrison/Host of above-mentioned show:

I really want to know if you're as invested in these people on your show as you say you are, and as you appear to be. It's kind of like while these people are looking for love, you're auditioning for new best friends. I have to say dude, it's a little weird/pathetic.

And the fact that you are getting SO worked up about defending the show against all the conspiracy theories and the people saying it doesn't work (How many succesful couples out of 16 seasons? 1.) is just boggling. Just maybe get another job, take a vacation? Just suggesting.


Sincerely-
me



Dear American Idol-
Every time that new judge opens her mouth all I hear at home is 'I am important, and therefore will talk forever about really generic things. Don't interrupt me, I am still talking.' And what's weird is, it's not my TV with the problem, it's her face.

Figured it out -
me


Dear American Idol Judges -

If when you say to someone 'You have too much of a musical theatre voice' you really mean 'You have an amazing voice and are way too good for this competition.' Then yes, I agree with you when you say that to contestants. Even if you say it like it's a bad thing.

Theatrically yours-
me
