The Bachelor: Ignorant Post Colonial style

This episode of the Bachelor was ridiculous. The "cast" visited an "authentic" Panama village with Natives.  They were presented with coconut shells for cups, lais, head dresses and beaded clothing.  One of the girls "decides to go native" and not wear bras or panies.  They also do some traditional dancing.



I felt sorry for the Native people that had to endure the Western definition of bat shit crazy. It's not like the "cast" got to know the villagers, listened or learned from them.  They basically just got drunk and were waited on by them. Gross. No wonder why white people ruin everyone's cultural sanctity.

Also - Ben loved the fact that Courtney went naked.  No one else did.  I am so sick of this season and Ben's obsession with Courtney. They are made for each other. Vapid model and Schmuck Bachelor Winemaker. The scariest ending to this would be if they reproduce.
