AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Viewers of the show 'The Bachelor' Season 28 expressed disappointment after witnessing catfights right from the first episode. Comparisons were drawn with ABC's 'The Golden Bachelor,' with some feeling that the TLC show's ladies were better, labeling those on 'The Bachelor' as immature.

"Producers calculating those ratings like... Cute bach? Check Adorable girl(s) next door? Check Villain? Check Sisters? Check Room full of immature GiRLieS? Check Pure chaos? Check Buckle up, babes. This may just be the most dramatic season," a viewer hilariously said.
