Bachelor and Bacherlorette host Chris Harrison always seems to keep his cool, but after hearing about the TV show UnReal he can’t control his enragement.
Lifetime producer Sarah Shapiro co-created a show titled UnReal which tells the story of a fictional dating competition called Everlasting.
Instead of focusing on what happens in the show, the viewers get to witness the behind-the-scenes action. It gives an inside perspective on the extreme manipulation that goes behind creating a dating show and how everything is not what it seems.
Since UnReal is clearly based off of the Bachelor series, Harrison believes that the fictional TV show is discrediting his show.
Harrison tells Variety that UnReal is “complete fiction.”
“As much as they would love to jump on our coattails—they were begging for us to talk about it and for people to write about it—at the end of the day, no one is watching. I mean, absolutely nobody is watching that show.”
Harrison said that for this season of the Bachelorette, gathered 8.1 million views for the finale. As for UnReal, only 815,000 people watched the first episode.
“Really, the main difference that I’ve seen is that people watch ‘The Bachelor,’” says Harrison.
Even with the low-ratings and the lack of support from Harrison, Lifetime renewed UnReal for another season.
