O, Woe is Me!

The Bachelor Women Tell All was an entertaining, hilarious social experiment of what happens when a bunch of women get together and fight over one guy.

This season of The Bachelor has left me scratching my head:   #1 why Ben?  #2 What’s up with Ben’s hair? And #3 Oh girls, really?!?

Ben Flajnik’s hair could have its own show;  it really isn’t a fabulous look for him anymore.  Maybe back in 1993. In Europe. But he seriously needs a hair makeover.

My friend Rita made me laugh when she posted this photo on Facebook:

Inspiration for Ben’s hairstyle?

Ok back to the show!

Yes I watch The Bachelor because it is mindless entertainment.  If these girls choose to go on the show and date for all to see, I say watch and enjoy!  For those of you who say it’s a waste of time to watch, I am a multi-tasker so I do write and tweet at the same time, ok?

After watching the Women Tell All, one thing’s for sure – girls can be mean.  And I mean that both ways – the girls against Courtney and vice versa.  Not to say that Courtney didn’t have it coming to her.

Courtney made the show exciting but she offended almost everyone in the entire house with her snarky comments.  Finally, the other women had their say and went on the attack, demanding an apology from Courtney who ended up crying as she exited the stage.

My Facebook friend Sonya brought up a good point; no one mentioned Courtney’s behaviour might have something to do with her insecurities.  When someone lashes out like that, it is to make themselves feel better.  Perhaps Courtney was bitchy towards them because she felt threatened by them; a pretty simple explanation for her behaviour.

People were also mentioning her “dual personalities” on the show; well maybe Courtney is bipolar… you never really know.  I think the Bachelor needs a psychologist on hand to talk about the women’s behaviour on the show.

Ben also faced the women, which was quite dull and boring, as the rest of the season… But when they aired some random moments, it was just what the show needed – a break from all the “woe is me” drama.

Emily put it best; she said she wouldn’t want to be with a guy who would use the words “tread lightly”.  Yeah that’s an asshat for ya.

There is a spoiler going around about who Ben will ultimately choose but I don’t want to reveal it here… I think Courtney slipped up at the end of the video (below) when she said “I cared for Ben… and I still do.”

Who do you think he will choose, Courtney or Lindzi?
