It's a strange thing when actual reality gets in the way of the warped version that exists on reality television. But that's what happened on last night's episode of ABC's The Bachelorette.
When contestant Eric Hill died in a paragliding accident after filming his portion of the show in April, the media wondered how ABC would handle his departure from the show. (Hill died while the show was still in production, but he had already been eliminated at the time of the accident.) The network ultimately decided to dedicate the season to Hill, and promised to address his death openly as the season progressed.
