"Brutal breakup"

I was reading last night about the "brutal" final breakup with the runner-up in the current season of The Bachelorette, and how it left both the bachelorette and the runner-up emotionally distraught.

Well, what do you expect when you make relationships into a competition conducted for people's entertainment? When you share your life experiences and joys, hopes and deepest hurts with someone, you inevitably build closeness with them, and when they reject that closeness - as will happen for the majority of contestants - it is going to hurt both of you, if you have been at all emotionally sincere.
