Barbara Walters Calls The Bachelor “A Stupid Show,” Disses Ben Flajnik (VIDEO)

VIDEO

(ABC)

During a “Reality Show Roundup” segment on “The View” Thursday, Barbara Walters made a big confession.

She thinks “The Bachelor” is “stupid.”

“I finally saw this show. It’s an ABC show. They may fire me,” Walters began after watching a clip from Monday’s “Bachelor,” where Ben Flajnik had a very awkward make-out session.

She continued, “It’s a stupid show. All these gorgeous women are going after this guy who – well, I’m gonna say it – is less than gorgeous.”

“All these women are mad about him,” Walters pointed out, asking “What am I missing?”

Fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg answered, “You’re missing the fact that these women are just as creepy as the guy is.”

    the first time i see the guy i realize that nothing would make me want to see the rest of the season. ita with barbara, he’s not even good looking. the girls are in for the win, not to win his heart.

    I saw this segment of The View, which I hardly watch ever because of the three co-hosts, except for Barbara and Whoopi. Barbara was being kind in her words. She didn’t want to use the 4-letter word that starts with u and ends with y to describe him. Heck, couldn’t ABS find a better looking bachelor and one that has something decent to offer? Not that I watch this reality show. And where do they find these twitties to compete for his attention?

  • Annie

    I think he is good looking. I’ve never watched the show, but I’ve seen footage of him and I think he’s cute.

    But it’s always a trip to see one person call another person ugly. You can only get away with it if you are pretty hot yourself. And I don’t think anyone would call Ms. Walters that word, even when she was younger.

  • Jennifer

    Barbara is right. Stupid is a mild descriptive. I’ve seen it a couple of times and I could feel my brain cells dying. As for the guy they have for this season – Ben? She’s right about him, too. Good grief! Who is in charge of picking these men? Horrible! The one before him was horrible, too. And creepy. The pilot guy who ended up with the blonde whacko? Can’t remember his name. Horrible!

    She’s right. The Bachelor execs are lousy at picking desirable bachelors. The pilot was creepy, Ben is not the least bit attractive to put it nicely, Brad was a dog, and obviously the women are out for publicity because they know true love will never find them on this show.

  • Carol

    I love the show, in fact I have never missed an episode. It is for entertainment you know. As for Ben, the fans really wanted him to be the batchelor because of the previous season when Ashley turned him down. The fact that he is worth millions probably made him attractive to some of the girls. Looks are not everything. Good thing too or Whoopi and Barbara would be in trouble
