Not only has this been the worst season of the Bachelor, with robotic Jake who reminds me of the joker in Batman with his permanent grin, tonight was the worst episode of the season.
It was the hometown date episode, where Jake visits the final four in their or their parents’ home town. The whole episode was awful. Ali was completely unbelievable in the role of little girl, legs curled up like a fetus, crying her eyes out for minutes on end. I didn’t buy it for a second and it went on way too long. Cloyingly fake and annoying. And her family was so boring they had to film most of her date in an empty house relying on her grandmother’s spirit.
Gia’s brother and Vienna’s father were both awful to watch. Grating personalities and so physically unappealing . Who would marry into either one of those families?
Gia has zero personality and even less conversational ability. She’s the best looking of the bunch, and she moves well, maybe they can put her on DWTS. The Bachelor is definitely beyond her skill set.
Tenley’s dance was terrible, like a third grader at a school play. Embarrassingly awful and I didn’t think Jake was into it one bit. He looked perplexed. Her father was the only redeeming feature of her segments.
Vienna’s edit is getting better, now she’s portrayed as the genuine, honest one. She’s still as fake as her nails, and playing Jake like a fiddle. She is the most manipulating and conniving of the group, and quite physically unappealing, but at least she doesn’t come off as wooden as a piece of furniture. Her and Jake will never make it from the final rose ceremony to ATFR unless the Bachelor pays them wads of money.
Seriously, this was the most pathetic episode in recent memory. I attribute it to the trouble they must have had casting the season with Jake as the bachelor. Had Kip or Reid been chosen, it would have been a whole other show. Even the date locations have been boring — RV’s, campsites and wineries.
The scenery in St. Lucia (for the fantasy and final dates) is the only reason to finish watching this train wreck of a season.
