What's all the hulaballoo about 'The Bachelor'?
To be fair, I don't watch the Bachelor. I swore off it after 3 seasons because I realized that I was too grossed out by watching non-actors kiss. I know, it's weird, but it's the truth, that was what did me in - the spit string. So, I haven't been watching it, but I cannot avoid hearing about what Jason did to Melissa! Here's the deal, he proposed to Melissa at the final rose ceremony, and then decided he didn't love her - they weren't getting along off camera. So, he dumped her and took the second runner up, Molly.
I honestly think the only thing about this story that makes it scandalous is the fact taht this all happened on TV. The fact that their relationship was up for the scrutiny of millions of people. Don't we want him to pick the person he really likes best? Isn't it best that he let Melissa off the hook instead of acting like it was all good for the camera?
In any case, it sure sounds like it was good TV, people can't stop talking about it. Also, all of this drama is telling me that there are reasons beyond the kissing thing that I don't watch this show. The only couple who could ever find successful love in the fish bowl were Trista and Ryan. They are like a fairy tale.
What do you think about what went down on the Bachelor? I would love to hear from people who actually watched the show!
I watched the whole season.. and actually.. have watched EVERY season! ha. I think the reason that Tristin and Ryan were able to have a successful relationship is because SHE was doing the picking, not the guy. Women just know what they want/need more than men. Men's eyes are bigger than their stomachs.. and really are too heavily influenced by looks factoring into their chemistry. Hopefully, Jillian (the next Bachelorette) will help to prove my theory right. Yes, there have been other bachelorettes whose relationships haven't worked out in the end, but somehow I think we women have a leg-up on understanding relationships and what they take.
SleepyWillowHere's a great page (www.thehollywoodgossip.co...)
with video of Jason on Jimmy Kimmel show explaining things. He says it was in the contract that he HAD to break up with her on the air and then do his talking to Molly on air also. I believe it it with how contracts work these days. But really, I THINK Jason doesn't understand emotions and shouldn't have proposed to either if he had strong feelings for BOTH women.. rather just choose one and date in the 'real world' then decide on engagement.
