Why is it that even The Bachelor struggles to find a man?

The New York Times

Arie Luyendyk Jr. is the latest in a string of underwhelming Bachelors, and it probably has something to do with the franchise scraping the bottom of the barrel so that they can only feature white guys, says Amanda Hess. “It’s amusing, and a little sad, that The Bachelor so consistently struggles to land an eligible bachelor. Forget happily ever after: It just needs to find a guy we want to spend 12 weeks watching on TV,” she writes, adding: “Meanwhile, the franchise is overflowing with female talent: professionally accomplished, emotionally intelligent, actually intelligent, witty, beautiful women who make for interesting romantic leads.” PLUS: The Bachelorette winner who beat out Arie is unhappy with his selection.
