Aspergian on The Bachelorette?

Post Reply New Topic

I was watching the series 4 of The Bachelorette with Deanna Pappas on Warner on demand recently and noticed a contestant called Graham who seemed a little bit Aspie to me. He seemed quite withdrawn and found it hard to show or talk about his feelings except in a letter to Deanna in the end when he was eliminated for being too reserved. He had only had very brief relationships with women previously despite being a goodlooking pro basketball player. Does anyone here think he might be an Aspie after seeing it? Or was it perhaps just the fact that he was awkward with cameras on him all the time? I couldn't help thinking how ridiculous the show was that the guys were prepared to propose to the woman after only knowing them on a TV show for a couple of months. Does this show reflect a shrinking regard for the value of marriage in America ( I've never seen an equivalent show in England where I live) or is it just romantic nonsense?

Hm, I haven't watched any bachelor/bachelorette so I can't tell you about that potential Aspie, but IMO all 'reality' tv like that is garbage and makes America look really low brow. This very thread is case in point lol

The only aspie type character from tv/movies that struck me in retrospect was the very introverted character from the British 7-up documentary. They have been filming a group of children every seven years since the 1960s, they are now adults, and one of them has a great deal of trouble fitting into society.

If you ever catch any of it, his name is Neil.

There was an aspie on the America's Next Top Model. Her name I believe, was Heather?

She publicly annoucnced that she had Asperger's and explained what it was to the girls.
