"Uhhhhh." Venus stops and takes a long sip of her smoothie. "No offense, but those are kind of um, what's the word. Antithetical."

It's not a word she'd typically use, and just to make sure she didn't get it wrong, she goes on to clarify, "pretty much your strategy for not dying involves killing everyone else. There isn't much else strategy to it. You aren't trying to make friends, you're trying to make fans."

It's so simple it's almost painful to Venus. This is the way reality television works. No one goes in looking for lasting relationships; the Bachelorette never really is satisfied with her chosen beau. You go in looking for a fanbase and a spinoff.
