Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette has been a wild ride, even just a couple of episodes in, but it has also been frustrating in a lot of ways. More than anything, it's revealing one of the show's biggest weaknesses in the past few years: its apparent inability to adapt to social media and spoiler culture. Instead of embracing the fact that, especially this season, a lot of fans who watch the show already knowing how Clare's journey will end, the franchise has insisted on playing by 2004 rules in 2020.
To be fair, spoiler culture has always been a part of The Bachelor franchise, but in the past few years, with Instagram and Twitter making it easier and easier for leaks to get out, it's been an increasingly futile mission to pretend like a significant portion of the viewing audience doesn't already know the gist of what's coming before it even airs.
