Opinion: We Should All Be Less Opinionated
It's that time again! Ahead of 'The Bachelor' mania kicking off in Australia, we briefly discuss why it is that we end up hating all former Bachies and why 'The Bachelorette' is never as good. Speaking of reality TV, Lena Dunham wrote a brilliant piece for 'The Guardian' about 'Love Island' and 'The Bachelorette' USA admitted she actually got it on not two, but four times in a windmill, firmly cementing herself as AWD's Hero of the Week. Plus, why taking a digital detox could be the best thing we ever do, second only to checking our opinions. When did we all start suddenly knowing everything about everything? And what's so bad about sitting on the fence sometimes?
