The Bachelorette wrap-up
The Bachelorette ended last night. I usually don't watch these shows, but this one was a train wreck. A delightful, sick, twisted train wreck centered around a woman who is undoubtedly a complte disaster herself.
After having been on The Bachelor herself -- and having that relationship end poorly -- Bachelorette Jen got a special treat for this go-round. She chose the bachelors. And yet she refused the proposals of two excellent options (so my lady friends tell me).
My conclusion: Who won the Bachelorette? Every frickin' guy on that show, who managed to avoid being sucked into this psycho crazy woman's web.
Jen is about as desirable as a blow-up doll. She's cute, but man, that girl's attractiveness factor plummets as soon as her brows furrow with just the hint of the thought: "I don't know what I want!" Get a grip, woman.
Jean-Paul -- the first rejected bachelor -- is a deluded puss. You can detect just a hunt of lisp behind his faint Oklahoma twang, a vestigial assertion of the balllessness that evidenced itself in this last episode. He. Actually. Thought. Jenn. Liked. Him. Best.
Dude. Haven't you seen the show before? The star always screws around with every guy. She always tells her suitors that she is having feelings for them. These chicks are screwed up. They love the attention. You're an incidental supporting character in the Jen Show, dude.
Jerry: Dignity spelled with a J. You know he was just itchin' to tell this woman that she's a deranged nutbag, but he held his tongue. The grace he exhibited in the face of being stood up on live national TV was exemplary. I admire this man.
When Jerry originally proposed at the end of shooting, Jen told him "I am 100% committed to seeing this through" -- she just wanted to wait until the live show, months later, to accept. So when she refused his second proposal, she replied, "I just think we decided this wasn't the right thing." We nothing. Jerry still proposed to the girl. Evidence of a horribly confused and manipulative woman.
Jen doesn't strike me as a particularly thoughtful girl, so I doubt she'll take anything positive away from this experience, aside from the celebrity. The woman thrives on attention and craves nothing deeper.
I'm proud of myself for knowing my hackles are in good shape for bein' raised by the crazies. This woman sent a shiver down my spine as soon as she opened her mouth.
My congratulations go out to Jerry, John-Paul, and every other guy who dodged the Jen bullet.
Dittos here. "I've wasted over six weeks of my life, and I'll never get it back. Sigh."
