The Bachelorette Is 'Too Slow' Says Chris Harrison; Blames Low Rating On Desiree's Speed Toward Love[VIDEO]

The Bachelorette has hit all time low rating and Chris Harrison claims The Bachelorette is just too slow for viewers. Harrison also blames Desiree's slow dating patterns on the reason for Bachelorette low ratings.

"It's a slow start," Harrison admits of the current alltime low Bachelorette season.

Chris goes on to explain why Desiree's turtle speed toward love makes for poor rating:

"I found with Des more than anybody that it's hard to find out who her front-runners are. I knew she liked some of the guys, but it was really hard to tell who she really falling for. It was harder to read her than others. It took a while before she really zeroed in on certain people. And it made my job challenging, to figure out what to ask her about, and where to go."

Like Sean before her, Harrison says 27-year-old Desiree was able to keep a very open mind throughout much of the season. "She was able to keep everybody separate and different, as if their date was the only one she had," the expert rose-counter explains. "It's smart if you think about it. You aren't putting all your eggs in one basket and then if that doesn't work out, regretting giving someone else a chance. Sean did a great job of it, and Des took a page out of his book and did the same thing."

In Monday's episode, Des and the guys travel to Munich, where she goes on a very tense, two-on-one date with Ben Scott (the one all the guys hate), and Michael Garofola (the one who hates him the most). And let's just say things do not end well. Unexpectedly Desiree chooses Micheal, whom it feels like she chose out of a feeling of 'which guy sucks the least.'

It feels like every week nobody knows who these men are.  There are many guys that Des gives roses do that viewers are unsure who they are. For example, Juan Paablo has not said nore that 7 wods the whole season 

And it doesn't get any easier from there. "Des really struggles," Harrison says of the rest of the season. "It's not easy. And it's not what anyone expects."

Are you tuning in to the Bachellorette? I doubt it...
