First Class ticket on a Love Trainwreck

3.04.2009
Okay, I restrained myself from blogging about it yesterday, but today I can not be silent! My poor husband was subjected to my laughs and guffaws on Monday night as I watched the greatest television I have seen in a while. The After The Rose special of The Bachelor. And I had some definite opinions.

First, it seems pretty obvious that this Jason guy is a total Butt Dog. Of course, he comes off as Mr. Sensitive who cries and tears up and is a truly good guy. But I have come to feel, after Monday's show, that he is actual kind of a selfish jerk who uses a nice-guy, weepy, facade to avoid conflict and to avoid taking responsibility for his own decisions. If you missed any of this train wreck, please to enjoy:


Bravo to Melissa for making fun of him and calling him a Bastard under her breath. I also felt her ride of shame in the limo after the break-up was punctuated with her very real and honest feelings about his behavior. Rock it, Sister.

Then tonight, who knew, it was the The Rose After the Rose After the Rose show. And more delightful train wreck faux relationship drama. Why do I drink this up? Because it's good TV, people. And anyone who thinks they can fall in love after just 6 weeks of knowing someone (even if you see them every day) is just ridiculous enough to be ripe for the mocking scorn of Jimmy Kimmel, myself and most of America. This is well worth watching.

Well if nothing else I might start watching Jimmy Kimmel. That was so funny. I love when he asks him if he'll invite Melissa to his wedding. What planet is that guy living on?

this was quite the entertainment....although the after the rose after the rose special last night was kind of lame after the drama that unfolded in the "MOST DRAMATIC" season finale EVER on monday night. did you see that evangeline lily didn't even stick around for JM on jimmy kimmel? too funny! :)

"Oh no you will not." great quote from Jimmy Kimmel. I wish I did not like the drama, but I do, I do.

The whole thing is such a gong show and I can't look away!
Melissa is stellar and Jason needs some major therapy.
I love TV!

It was like hook, line, and sinker for me too on Monday night. i had not given into one second of that show the entire season, until somehow the finale made its way into my heart, and I wasted 3 hours of my night watching that buttface make one horrific decision after another. Amen sistah!

okay, so I don't normally watch these shows, and let me just say that after seeing these clips, I probably will maintain my current viewing schedule :-) unfortunately I know people like this poor bastard (I mean bachelor - sorry) - "it wasn't me - I didn't lie - I didn't mean to hurt you - I can't live a lie, even though I did ask you to marry me ..." uh ... huh???!! LOVE your post!!! :-)

I don't watch Tv much and this was the extent of my viewing. What a bad actor this Jason guy is! That's all I have to say!
