INCIDENT 367
When: Oct. 21, 2013

a bicycle.
N EW YORK - There may be no
show on television as twisted
about sex as The Bachelor.
ABC's long- running dating show, now
in its 18th season, purports to find a
man a wife, a mission in which it is
only very sporadically successful.
Despite its failure rate, The Bachelor
continues to present itself as romantic,
out to find a good man a life partner,
a soul mate, a true love - all while
behaving like a pimp.
The show assembles a harem of
attractive women who attempt to woo
one man not just with their charm,
but their bodies, their insecurity and
their willingness to suppress any part
of their personality that might make
them seem difficult - in particular,
their innate discomfort that this man
is availing himself of numerous other
women as he speaks to each of them
about feeling a " real connection." To
distract from the ickiness of this set
up, The Bachelor plays the prude,
only ever speaking of sex in the most
coded, vague terms.
Typically, The Bachelor 's resemblance
to an unusually public escort
service is kept under wraps until
late in the season, when the bachelor
has narrowed the field down to three
suitors. They are then invited - or
not invited - to spend the night with
the bachelor in a " fantasy suite," an
evening in a romantic, usually tropical
location where the cameras will finally
leave these two people alone to get
up to whatever they want to get up to.
Having one off- camera sexual encounter
with a person who may soon give
you a grapefruit- size engagement ring
seems like a good idea. But in practice,
it means a man has sex with three
women, three evenings in a row, and
professes his deep and romantic feelings
to each one of these women, all of
whom are fearful of behaving in a way
he might not like. It's callow, sordid
behaviour made somehow acceptable
by the use of Hallmark Card language
and a really fly hotel room.
But the show's sex issues have come
up much earlier than usual in the
latest iteration of The Bachelor , starring
Venezuelan soccer player Juan
Pablo. Pablo has a small daughter at
home, increasingly one of The Bachelor 's
favorite props for signifying
that its protagonist has pure motives
( because no single parent ever just
wanted just to screw around). He has
deployed his daughter strategically
in the last few episodes, using her as
an excuse to kiss only those women
he really wants to kiss. " I don't want
my daughter to see her dad kissing 20
girls," he has said, though he is apparently
fine with having his daughter see
her dad kiss six of them.
With one woman, Juan Pablo went
much further than kissing, a pretty
scandalous turn of events in the
Bachelor universe, where sex always
arrives in the penultimate episode and
always at the behest of the john. Clare,
a 32- year old, high- strung hairstylist,
is the woman Juan Pablo kissed first,
and they have barely stopped since.
On a group date in Vietnam, Clare
and Juan Pablo ignored everyone
else while goofing around in a small
Vietnamese rowboat. After lunch at a
farm, Juan Pablo continued to shower
Clare with attention. After the group
dinner he hustled her up to his hotel
room, so they could take a solo dip
in his pool. He then gave her a rose,
meaning she had " won" the group date,
and was guaranteed not to be sent
home the following night.
After receiving all this attention,
Clare decided to show up at Juan
Pablo's room at 4 a. m. and ask him to
go swim in the ocean with her. He did.
And then they had sex - or at least,
that is the only way to make sense of
what followed, even though The Bachelor
hewed to its strict policy of never
being explicit, as if language alone
can make the show demure. The next
day, Clare gave a toast " to finding love,
being loved, and making love," only for
Juan Pablo to take her aside and tell
her that, " I hope nobody knows. It was
a little weird for me. I'm too fair with
people. Maybe it wasn't right. I have
a daughter, I don't want her to see what
happens, if she sees it." Clare, who
thought she'd had sex with someone
who wanted to have sex with her, was
mortified and embarrassed. " I knew
when we were in the ocean, that it was
a mutual feeling. If he didn't think it
was right he shouldn't have done it. I
would have respected that," she said to
the camera, crying.
Clare did exactly what the show and
Juan Pablo purport to want the women
on the show to do: to be themselves, to
do what they would do if the cameras
weren't there, to try to have genuine
interactions with the titular bachelor.
But because she ran afoul of the
show's selectively Victorian sensibility
and did not leave decisions about when
to have sex on television to the show
or Juan Pablo, she basically got slutshamed
by both. At her own expense,
Clare exposed The Bachelor 's sexual
ethos, which is that the women are
supposed to be relatively innocent and
chaste, up until the moment the man
calls on them to stop being so.
If Clare had bided her time and waited
however many episodes until Juan
Pablo invited her into his fantasy suite,
she would have been celebrated as a
woman willing to make herself vulnerable
for love. Instead, she got the
easy- woman edit and a scolding about
sexual propriety from a guy proudly
wearing multiple women's spit.
