‘The Bachelorette’: Amy Schumer opens up about time on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season

We’ve said this for weeks, and we still feel like it is as true as it ever was: Amy Schumer’s probably never going to be “The Bachelorette.” The show seems to be using this for the most part for its own publicity, and getting people excited about something that to be frank, Schumer just doesn’t need. She’s got a critically acclaimed movie coming up in “Trainwreck,” and her Comedy Central show is also very successful.

Also, this is someone who clearly knows what’s up when it comes to the production of the show already. Take a look at some of her comments to PopSugar, where she really puts out there some very blunt, honest feelings about the recent comedy-club date with Kaitlyn Bristowe that she took part in:

“They just pump booze into people and are like, ‘Perform! And do this thing you’ve never done before! I love that show, but it was totally dark … The contestants are lab rats; [producers] really manipulate you and just mess with you. I mean, it’s such a clearly bad idea to go on that show. Some of them want to find love, but some of them just want to be the next Bachelor.”

We do feel like there are some contestants who want love, but who said that love and fame are mutually exclusive? We imagine that many contestants have multiple different reasons for wanting to be on the show. As for the production side of things, we know that they are milking it for drama. This is what the show is, and since the ratings are good, there is no incentive to change it up at all.
