So I feel that as my guiltiest pleasure, I should comment on the recent events in the world of The Bachelor and Bachelorette. It's been a busy week for the show and I just feel like I need to throw in my 2 cents, not that it's the important or different from what anyone else is saying. Plus, I haven't written in a long time and I really want to write a new blog.
I'll start with the whole Jake and Vienna break up. I have thought about this far more than is healthy and I really don't know who or what I believe. Vienna was classy and sold her story to the oh so reputable Star "magazine". Her claim is that they haven't had sex for several months and the only time Jake ever kissed her was in front of the cameras. She said she broke up with him and she never felt good enough for him. She was caught with some random actor from a show on ABC Family and the tabloids went crazy with stories of her cheating on Jake. I honestly think the relationship was over long ago. Maybe not officially, but emotionally it sure seems like it. She definitely played the victim in her side of the story.
Jake on the other hand went to People to tell his side of the story. In a nutshell, Jake felt as though Vienna wasn't supportive enough of his entertainment career. He claims she was jealous that he was getting all these opportunities (Dancing with the Stars and Drop Dead Diva) and she wasn't. Makes sense. Why else would Vienna be able to perform on the finale of Dancing? I thought it was a little strange when I heard that. I thought it was just another cheesy ploy for them to get attention (especially since they danced to On the Wings of Love, gag me). In true Jake fashion, he claims what he and Vienna had was real and he doesn't regret their time together, just the way it ended.
See what I mean by the he said-she said? They also both claim to have broken off the relationship. Here's what I am sure about. They were both in this to find fame. I do think that Jake really does want to find love and I believe almost all of those cheesy things they say. Looking back at videos and stuff of them together (see what I mean by thinking about this way too much?), their relationship did seem fake and forced, which leads me to think that Vienna wasn't being completely dishonest about the bedroom issues. I still don't know what I think. I thought maybe typing it out would help, but it doesn't. Not even a little.
On to tonight's episode. It might be one of my favorite in the history of the show. It started off with the host, Chris Harrison, knocking on Ali's door in Turkey (this season was dubbed, "Around the World", must be rough). He tells Ali that he has some unfortunate news for her and phones, Jessie, a contestant with Ali on Jake's season. Jessie says that she is sitting there with a girl named Jessica who is the girlfriend of one of the bachelors, Justin "Rated-R". Jessica and Ali talk and Jessica tells Ali that the only reason that Justin was on the show was for his wrestling career. Jessica seems to feel horrible and Ali is pissed. Now how Jessie and Jessica know each other is beyond me. Maybe because they are both from Toronto? I have no clue, all I know is that Justin is in for a slap in the face. Ali and Chris go to the boys' room where Ali plans on confronting Justin...in front of the other guys. Awesome. He deserves it. Ali starts off by saying something along the lines of, "I know that this journey has been difficult for everyone. And especially for you Justin, you must really miss your girlfriend". Hilarious. I almost peed myself.
Needless to say, Justin is pissed that he got caught. He hobbles off (he broke his foot the day before he left for the show and was still in a walking boot). Ali runs after him yelling at him and telling him she wants to talk to him, but Justin won't give in. The cameras show Justin hobbling all around the hotel and outside. It was quite the site to behold. Eventually he sits down and talks with Ali. He claims that Jessica is his best friend and he doesn't know where she is getting this info. Ali isn't buying it and Justin leaves. Justin got what he wanted, his name out there. Now he isn't known as the guy who got the final rose, but as the douche bag with a broken foot who had a girlfriend. I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity, right? Wrong.
The preview for the rest of the season proves that more emotions will fly before the season is over. Ali goes to visit Frank and he tells Ali that they need to talk. He seems distraught over whatever he has to tell her. I have heard that he wants to go back to his ex back home, but I am not convinced. I have another theory. Producers casted Frank knowing that he was gay. He comes out to Ali in one of the final episodes, which gives way to Frank being the first gay bachelor. It's bound to happen and this story makes things interesting for sure. Though, I am not entirely sure I could be convinced to watch. It's not that I have anything against gay people, it's just that Frank drives me insane that I couldn't watch him that much. He's actually the only one left that I don't like.
I need a life...
