So a few days have passed since I wanted to post something about this season of The Bachelor. I decided my anger at Jason MesDICK...oops, did I just type that?!! I tend to go in phases with watching the show, but for some reason, half way through this season, I got hooked. I thought this guy was so sweet and caring and I thought the dynamics of these girls was great. The thing is that I actually liked Mellissa and Molly and was rooting for them both, but knew that in the editing room with TV we only see what they want us to see. I won't go into detail about what the outcome was because I am sure most people know. I do want to say that I have been reserving my blog because I just wanted to see how it played out and hope that there was some backstage stuff that went on that we didn't know about and it really wasn't as bad and sooooo uncompassionate as it seemed.
Then I watched Ellen yesterday and Mellissa was on her show and everything I was judging Mr. MesDICK (oops) for was pretty much true. I get that his feelings changed. I understand that. My rational side understands fully, what his emotions were and understand how his decision wasn't the right one. My anger comes from the fact that he really did not give Mellissa the consideration of letting her know beforehand that he was going to go on T.V. and a commercial break later start making out with Molly on the couch. It was all manipulated by the producers and I am very disapointed. I am very disappointed that he sold his soul to the devil for ratings or whatever he got out of this and wasn't a decent human being and at least gave her a heads up before she walked out on that stage and was humiliated. Yes, she did sign up for a stupid reality show, but no, I am sure she did not sign up for humiliation, not under her control, that 17 million people watched. And I am not even going to get started on Molly. I hope they truly are happy together and it was worth acting like complete boobs.
Well that is Nikki's soap box for this afternoon.
