3 weeks into this season of the Bachelorette on ABC this seasons star Clare Crawley is a hot mess. For years the best part of this show is getting to see the fun places they go together, and the exotic dates which lets some of us live out our fantasies of a life we couldn’t possibly afford.
However, this year because of the “RONA”, all of that has been scrapped and they are relying on Claire to carry the load, big mistake! She is awful.
If I can dip back into the train wreck she left us with last week for a moment, before I examine this week’s disaster, please indulge me. This woman isn’t happy unless someone is kissing her ass about how “brave” she is to have a dying mother.
I’m pretty sure you don’t have a choice in the matter when your parent is sick. I personally have a father who is suffering along with a mother who nearly died 3 years ago and continues to struggle, and yet I don’t walk around expecting everyone I meet to tell me how brave I am. Is it pure hell, do I think about it constantly, sure, but it’s not something I need a medal for.
Years ago she made a big scene on the “Juan Pablo” season because he told her how much he enjoyed sleeping with her. Time and time again she doesn’t want to be treated like an sexual object, yet she goes on national TV as a trophy and clearly had thousands of dollars of work done on her body since that season. Then in the most hypocrite move of them all, has the men play strip dodgeball?
I’m pretty damn sure if the roles were reversed and she was a contestant on the Bachelor this would have not flown. Let’s say it was down to her and 10 other women and the Bachelor had them play strip poker down to nothing but a thong and completely topless.
Yes, ratings would have been through the roof, but I can guarantee you the show would have been thrown off the air and moved to cable the next week. Not to mention the sexual harassment suit she would have signed and led the revolt of. She is a hypocrite!
You can sit her and tell me that producers have the ultimate say, and you would be right. But in today’s “me too” movement, that stuff simply doesn’t fly anymore. I don’t blame Yousef for telling her off and wanting to leave. Unless you’re kissing her ass, she doesn’t want you around.
This week was a total joke and she proved she has no business as the Bachelorette. She cancels one group date because she is so upset Youseff told her off. Then on top of that, spends the entire group date making out with Dale. By the way, if you know the name of more then 3 contestants still around this year, congrats, because all I hear and know is Dale, Dale, Dale!
Newsflash Clare, men don’t go on that show to make friends with other men, they want alone time with you, not each other. That entire segment made her come across as a horny middle-aged woman living out some fantasy combined with a school girl crush on the star athlete. Just embarrassing.
The next day rolls around and it just gets worse. She picks “muscle head six”, I don’t know his actual name, who cares, does it honestly matter anymore? She picks “six” to go swimming with her and then tries to kiss him, and then stops herself from kissing him when she realizes Dale may hear about the kiss.
Muscle head is utterly confused about what occurred, and can you blame him? He then commits low key sexual assault and keeps grabbing her trying to get that kiss back. This is the ONLY time I stood by Claire as she had every right to get upset. Grabbing is not cool!
Next time, take your defeat, a cold shower and move on buddy. You now look like a creep and take full attention away from her being a tease / headcase. This entire spectacle of a “date” did nothing but inflate her already gigantic ego.
Now you have have a group of guys pissed off that they didn’t get their time with Clare the night before, so they decide to spend the entire roast segment focused on Dale. This was a stupid move, if you want her to forget about him, don’t talk about him. Instead, they do the exact opposite.
There’s an old saying and it is very true, “don’t let someone have rent free space in your head”. The boys did exactly this, and let her know they are intimated by him. To top it all off she spends the next group date with them talking more about him then anything else, and then doesn’t give any of them a rose.
The Bachelors suck on this show, and Clare is horrendous. This entire season is trying to combine the BLM movement, with the Me Too movement, with whatever else they can think of.
It’s only going to get worse the longer this mess continues. Pull the plug, don’t even bother with a rushed version of the new Bachelorette which appears to be coming next.
One last request, move this show back to Monday nights. With This Is Us on Tuesday Nights as well, this is not going to keep my attention much longer.
