Given that the new season of The Bachelorette just recently premiered, social media is already buzzing with the latest memes and live show updates. Just like every season, the massive worldwide fanbase comes together every week to discuss what's happening in the show, primarily on Twitter and Reddit.
One of the best and funniest ways to relate to fellow Bachelor Nation lovers is through the art of memes. With the reality TV show being highly entertaining, it's not difficult to find good meme material within the show, and many fans are pretty good at summing up the show with simple memes.
The Bachelorettes Never Want To Hurt Anyone

It's typical for the Bachelorettes to be slightly more caring and comionate, so when it's time for the rose ceremony, they are scared to ever hurt anyone's feelings. Although it's literally their job to narrow it down among the men, it is irable that they want to go about it in a respectful manner.
Many viewers find this concept amusing, though, as they always say it's what the Bachelorette signed up for. Furthermore, some fans neglect to feel bad for the girl, as she's in a pretty nice position to have plenty of men fighting over her.
Some Contestants Have The Weirdest Job Titles
Fans of the show know that many contestants have some weird job titles, but lately, it seems that the editors aren't even trying anymore. Whether the editors change the career titles to be shady or they are trying to frame a contestant a certain way, viewers definitely get a kick out of it.
From weird labels like the vague and ever-inclusive "Social Media Participant" to even more wild and random ones like "Chicken Enthusiast," it's clear that the post-production team has a blast with their editing trends and nobody is safe from their reign of terror.
Public Enemy Number One: Luggage Guy
When it's time for the luggage guy to come and collect bags, the men know it's time to fight to stay. Even though it's a part of the competition for a fraction of men to leave, it never gets any easier for the men to face the fact that they might go home.
In this unpredictable reality show, fans can never truly know when or who will go home, just like the actual men in the competition have no clue, either. However, no matter how early or how late in the game the luggage men come to retrieve the contestants' bags, it's always a nerve-wracking time for them.
Producers Love Inserting Cliffhangers Before Commercial Breaks
While it's undoubtedly a smart move to leave viewers wanting more and coming back, it's become a meme in itself at this point. It's a given that, especially during After The Final Rose, those juicy encounters are purposefully set up before every single commercial break, and it annoys fans every single time.
It's obviously a great strategy for ratings, but this habit has caused fans to hate the words, "We'll find out when After The Final Rose returns." Luckily, in this modern-day streaming world, viewers can skip right through them if they can bear to not watch live.
Two Bachelorettes Is Never A Good Idea
Unfortunately, producers have yet to realize that pitting two women against each other is never a good idea, especially if they are best friends. From Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson's t season to the current season with Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, even former-Bachelorette strong reaction on the platform.
This incredibly difficult dynamic makes it easy for the girls to get competitive as well as insecure if they are not as pined after as the other. Though it's a great idea in theory as far as ratings go, many fans believe it's not worth sacrificing the Bachelorettes' mental health and friendship.
Jealous And Competitive Men = Controlling Behavior

Much like the weird behavior Luke P, fan-favorite-turned-villain, exhibited with Hannah, many of the guys feel like they have to take control over the Bachelorette in order to feel like they are ahead of the rest. Spoiler alert, though, this almost always gets them evicted from the show, as it's never a good idea to tell the Bachelorette what to do.
While there have been many occasions where a controlling contestant tries to dictate the Bachelorette, the situation with Luke telling Hannah not to be intimate with the other guys is one of the most extreme cases of them all. That said, this Luke meme of him telling Hannah he's not going to do what he ended up doing is so perfectly ironic.
Sometimes Bachelorettes Can't Wait For The Rose Ceremony

Though there is a designated time slot in the show for the Bachelorette to send men home, sometimes they choose to beat it to the punch and kick people off early. Whether there is an immediate issue that needed to be addressed or the Bachelorette just wasn't feeling it anymore, there have been plenty of times when someone is escorted off early.
One thing is for sure, though, and that's that the show's producers are always looking for a twist, a surefire way to boost ratings. If they that more men than usual are going home this week, fans are definitely guaranteed to tune in.
Some Of The Men Need Lessons On Relationship Consent

From Bachelorette villains like Luke P to Ian Thomson, many of the guys just don't know when to quit. They will borderline insult the Bachelorette and fight with her, and then as soon as she enforces boundaries and tells them to leave, they refuse to.
It would be another thing if these guys needed closure and the Bachelorette hadn't made up her mind, but the mindset of "our relationship isn't over until I say it's over, no matter how many times I'm told no" is entirely problematic. Though the guys frame it as them "fighting for the women they love," they need to, at a certain point, honor her boundaries and leave when they are told to.
It Is Not Uncommon For Many Men To Make Last Ditch Efforts

Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures, even if it means dropping the "L word" a little too late. The lack of consent factor can drip into this category as well when men decide to pull out all of the stops before actually leaving as the Bachelorette requested.
It's even common for the guys to realize too late that they didn't fight hard enough for the Bachelorette and they try to finally tell her they love her one last time. However, this method rarely works, as the men that win in the end aren't shy about their feelings or expressing their love for her.
The Bachelorettes' Threatening Logo
While the knife is clearly edited onto this meme, the overall theme wasn't too shocking, maybe because of how spot-on it is. While The Bachelorette is obviously not a crime-centered TV show, it can get quite dramatic and cutthroat.
When you put 30+ of the same gender in a room with only one person of the opposite sex, things are bound to get messy and competitive, to say the least. While this current season offers an excited twist of two Bachelorettes, things are certainly bound to get ugly.
