Nobody is perfect. And when it comes to relationships, who doesn't have a touch of drama in their past that might be embarrassing? Or better yet, a juicy story to share? This is why we love the (seemingly) unfiltered drama of reality TV.
But when such a story is shielded from Bachelor audiences — viewers who are used to all types of glorious tomfoolery — questions arise. And that's precisely why Bachelor viewers in Little Rock, AR, are heated today.
On last night's Bachelor, Raven tells Nick a story about her cheating ex-boyfriend. In a nutshell, she found her ex in bed with another woman. Oof! However, that's the least of the tale. She then proceeded to attack the man with a stiletto. Yes, a high-heel shoe.
However, viewers in Arkansas didn't hear any of this.

Everyone is asking me what happened- Little Rock & the central AR area censored my story. U'll have to find the clip elsewhere. #TheBachelor

Apparently, ABC affiliates in the region didn't air that particular conversation on Raven's hometown date. They instead cut to the next scene.
Viewers were livid.
@ravengates09 Yes! As soon as you said you drove to LR it cut to commercial and came back after story was over! #TheBachelor #frustrating

@ravengates09 my jaw dropped, my husband cursed, said the show was "rehearsed bullshit" and he stormed off to his office with our son ???

Why the censoring, ABC? We've reached out to the network and will update this story as information becomes available.
