I thought this season’s Bachelor would get me out of this blogging funk, but no such luck. Two episodes in and it just wasn’t worth the effort to even try and form coherent thoughts. One big culprit was the torture of having to be subjected to Michelle. She was the epitome of all the girls I avoided having any contact with in life.
I will say that I do not get the attraction or whatever you want to call it between Brad and Ashley. I haven’t understood it from day one and I don’t understand it even more now. She is so desperately needy that I can’t take it. Chantal O is a beautiful girl, but she has shown Brad, on numerous occasions, that she is an emotional train wreck. She’s said more than once, if you can’t see me as your wife just let me go. You’ve not even known this man for more than a couple of months and you’ve never even had a real life date. You know, the kind where cameras aren’t following you around and where ABC isn’t footing the bill for unlimited champagne and fancy cars. Oh yeah, and the kind where the dude you’re with isn’t dating 10+ other girls at the same time. Yet, you want him to be able to see you as his wife. Okay.
The only girl that doesn’t work my ever-lovin’ last nerve is Emily. I’m ready for this to be over with. Pick the girl and let’s move on.
You are so right about Emily being the only girl that isn’t annoying. Let me start with the obvious by saying that Brad is supremely dull. It’s mind boggling that any girl would lift a finger to woo such a boring, stiff, fake, childish fool. More irritating than Brad, however, is Chantal O. She takes needy to a whole new level. Her desperate attempts to win Brad by being overly agreeable, over-the-top peppy and smiley, and keep that perpetual forced smile on her crazy face is more than I can stand. Her expressions can barely conceal the fact that she’s ready to crack. She strikes me as the kind of girl who is crying her eyes out and pulling out her eyelashes one by one whenever the camera pans over to Emily and she’s left alone in her dressing room wondering what Brad is thinking and saying. Her family seems equally as fake and desperate to cling to image at all costs. It would be nice if these girls would call Brad out on his crap and just walk away while the getting is good.
This whole season has seemed so over-the-top scripted. Brad seems like he’s always reading from a script that someone just handed him. I mean, one whole group date was a commercial in itself. I guess I just love to torture myself because I’m still watching. Ha!
