Season 1 Review: The premiere of The Bachelorette was good!...Appealingly, Trista is also filled with desire herself. Nothing about her is aloof; she's upfront about her lifelong loneliness, her wish for a husband, her fantasies of motherhood. [9 Jan 2003]

Season 9 Review: Based on how sleepy and slurry the men become, it took a loooong time for producers to get enough usable footage from the opening-night cocktail party to fill the premiere. But the drunker the dudes get, the funnier they become. [31 May/7 Jun 2013, p.130]

Season 7 Review: Without Bentley;s cruel cunning, the rest of the show has played out predictably. [1 Aug 2011, p.39]

Season 1 Review: Women will like the show because it's empowering and because television, for once, presents guys to ogle. Men will like it because Trista's pretty attractive herself. [9 Jan 2003, p.8]

Season 1 Review: The final minutes of the show, when the rejects got to display their disappointment, were the hour's best, but that was only the beginning. [9 Jan 2003, p.91]
