Does Anyone Here Watch The Bachelor?? Is Garrett a Bigot?? SPOILER AHEAD!

SPOILER ON HERE, so don't read any further if you're a fan and haven't watched the final episode yet.

I don't know if I'm the only one here who enjoys the guilty pleasure of watching The Bachelor/ette every season, but if you watch, what do you make of Garrett possibly being a bigot??! I am blown away! I liked him until I found out all about his possible bigotry! I love Becca, and she seems like the least likely person to be a bigot, so it really baffles me that she would have kept him once she found out!

It was very well written and put my fears to rest right away. I think it was mindless clicks after hours of being on the computer, with not enough thinking. I also did not get the.feeling he was racist or hateful in any way. In those people it radiates from them. And Becca wouldn't have been attracted to such a man either, liberal girl that she is. Garrett has a loving heart and the ability to empathize, so I never thought that stuff was true.

Long live Bachelor Nation !!

Can't wait for Paradise tonight, then two 2-hr shows Mon & Tues nights from now on. Yay !!!

I agree that maybe Garrett just did some random clicks and maybe his apology is sincere, and I'm not really sure how instagram works, but isn't it something that's just between friends? If that's the case, then why does he has so many bigoted friends?!

And, I too can't wait for Bachelor in Paradise tonight!! And, that was an interesting article on that link you posted, but as much as I love Becca, why would she say, "It's ok...everyone has different opinions on things!" A differing opinion is saying you like the red car, while your spouse says he likes the blue car. Having bigoted views (IF indeed Garrett does have such views), is not just a difference of opinion....it reveals who you are as a person!
