OK guys, now I have to say something after seeing Monday’s episode of “The Bachelor, The Women Tell All.” Now, if you’ve been following my blog so far, you know what I’ve been thinking about a few of the girls on the show.
I generally liked Britt, even though she was clearly a bit self-centered when she grabbed all of the attention on the group date after the other girl got the rose and not HER. She did realize later that she was being selfish though, so I forgave her for that. No one is perfect, heck no one is even close…
But now that I think about things again after seeing her on Monday night’s episode, things have become clearer. It now seems like her saying how selfish she was about the whole episode was her being fake in another attempt to get attention. And then, this comes to mind too. I remember her telling the other girls about how she and Chris S. spent two hours alone together in HIS ROOM…”napping”… that was pretty rude, and not very classy either. It’s not like they were her close friends whom she would tell EVERYTHING about her relationship. No, not at all. The truth is, she told them to make them jealous. And, it worked.
When I watched Monday’s episode, it became really obvious to me that she was full of something. I’m sure she probably did have some real feelings for Chris at the time they were together. I mean, they sure seemed to have good chemistry, even if we didn’t see much of anything else between them. That’s enough to make it hurt when things don’t work out, I think we all know. But it’s been months now, and the pain from that short fling has likely faded.
Instead of seeing a girl in pain over an old relationship that didn’t work out, I saw a woman who seemed calculated and manipulative in her behaviors. Throughout most of the episode she demanded that all of the attention be on her. I’ve never seen a “Tell All” that spent so much time on one person! The rest of the show was just bits and pieces of other people’s concerns. Her crying was definitely fake. It may have started out a bit real, but after that, it wasn’t. Even Chris H. could tell, he is very intelligent and he always leads people in the best way he knows how, and he was trying to get her to stop faking it lol. But she just kept on milking it, often looking up to make sure that someone or something was looking at her. When you’re crying you don’t pause, look up deliberately, then look down and start fake crying again. At least I don’t…
I know lots of people still like her. She is a beautiful young woman, no doubt. She is working very hard to further her public career, and this show is a great platform for that. I don’t want to take that away from her, but really, she isn’t being REAL with us. I mean, the whole sleeping in your makeup thing is a pretty good clue that she either has some really serious issues with herself, or she is super concerned about how she looks on camera at all times.
While watching the series you could tell that many of the girls did not like Britt, and some called her out on being fake and self-centered. Now we know why. Maybe this helps explain Carly’s behavior a bit more. It’s hard to say who is being real on the show, until you see something that makes you say “ah HA!”
I have to say though, if I was the director/producer of that episode I would have pulled Britt down off of that throne, uh, I mean stage, and focused more attention on the other stories we all wanted to see unfold that evening.
Now, I guess we can all wait to see what happens on the finale. What do you think, Whitney vs. Becca? I know who I like the best! 🙂
