"The Bachelor" does not disappoint in terms of giving me things to blog about.
I wish there was a pill I could take that would make me stop watching it. But who am I kidding? I would never take the pill. The train wreck is just too good.
This week we are in St. Lucia with Jake, Tenley, Vienna and Gia. Before we get to the island, Jake takes us down memory lane and shows us how he “fell in love” with all three girls. This is when I started to pull my hair out.
During Jake’s recap, he tells us he has fallen in love with all three girls, and can see himself with any one of them. I don’t know about you, but for me, clean-cut, high-morals, All-American Jake is getting a little sleazy.
We are now in San Francisco getting caught up with Ali. She lives there, yet she is being filmed in a hotel room, with pictures of Jake on the nightstand. She can’t sleep or focus on work, and her heart is breaking. I could not like this girl any less. She is crazy.
I do not think there is anything sincere about this girl. Sorry, America. She pulled an Ed, it backfired, and she is so blatantly campaigning to be next year’s Bachelorette that it’s difficult to watch her and not laugh. She does not deserve the opportunity; she should be banished.
Her crying is fake and she is too snotty. She is also a horrible actress, because her look of pain and heartache looks more like constipation and confusion. Why is America rallying behind this girl?
Sidebar: It makes me crazy when Jake talks about his activities with the girls as if he thought about them all by himself, and has created all these experiences on his own. Come on -- not your ideas, Sparky.
Jake is now talking about Gia, but you can just tell she is not the one. He says lovely things about her, and they have a good time, but I kept waiting for him to say she will be a great wife ... for someone else. I think she’s out.
Jake spends a lot of time saying he wants the women to “open up completely.” Here’s the thing, Jake: If you spent less time making out, you could talk and learn more. Maybe you meant another type of opening up?
Gia and Jake are at dinner and they really have nothing to talk about. She is beautiful, and a really sweet girl. I like her a lot and feel bad for her, because she deserves to be in love with someone worthy. Jake is not that guy for her.
Is it me, or is there a certain porn element in watching them all make out in a bathtub while the cameras roll? If you turn down the volume and play some '70s lounge music, you are, in fact, watching porn. I’m just saying.
Tenley has arrived and Jake is taking her on a helicopter tour.
