US Bachelor Ben Higgins just committed a cardinal social-media sin, by publicly, and without adequate spoiler warning, revealing the winner of this season of The Bachelor before half the country have seen the show.
“Watch this beautiful woman and I on @JimmyKimmel,” he posted. ‘This beautiful woman’ being Lauren. The Winner. Whoops.
Due to the cross-country time difference, viewers on the West Coast had not yet seen the show. They were quick to metaphorically lynch chastise Higgins for his blunder.
“You just ruined this for anyone watching on the west coast. Congrats.”
“Really!?!? Your an idiot!!! Who is your publicist?????”
“Thanks for not taking the West Coast into consideration!”
While the insults and telling off took on many creative (and violent) forms, the West Coast public’s sentiment can probably be best surmised by the following sentence:
“OMG YOU JUST SPOILED IT. YOU SUCK.”
Another favourite is the simple yet effective:
“lol ben, you assclown”
Some angry fans have suggested that Higgins’ brain fade might be further proof that he isn’t in the right frame of mind. They’re not happy with his choice of lady-love.
“WHAT THE HECK BENJAMIN HIGGINS?!? see your brain has gone to mush picking Lauren B… Jojo had brains and beauty going for her. #teamJojo #JojotheBachelorette”
Poor bugger was just too excited to tell the world about his new fiance.
We can’t all compete for love on national (or international) television. But that doesn’t mean we’re looking for your advice. Here are the cliches single girls are sick of hearing:

So sick of hearing this. If you are a follower of a show, any show, and you don't want any spoilers, don't go on any form of social media until said show is on and has aired in your timezone. There is no other way round it. Unless of course you want it aired at exactly the same time nationwide, which would mean that it would be "live" in non-primetime, which of course you wouldn't be happy with, because it will probably be in the middle of the day while you are at work.
And if you are a season or more behind in any series, it's very likely that you will see spoilers. Deal with it. I know of some upcoming spoilers for both The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones, but I sensibly realise that because I'm nearly two seasons behind in each, that I'll likely encounter spoilers. Oh, well, this can happen. It's not going to stop me watching.
We had the same problem in WA with Aus Bachelor... not happy!
