Not gonna lie, I'm a Bachelor fan. I always have been. My bachelor days go back to the sorority house when we would cram 30 girls into the Rec Room and all crowd around one TV to watch the drama.
I specifically remember watching Gwen get rejected by Aaron on Season 2. And they called her old on the Bachelor Pad! She may have a few years on her, but c'mon people, she is HOT!
Ok, back to last night's drama with Brad. I wasn't planning to give my opinion, really, but I changed my mind considering how things ended...err started, on After the Final Rose last night.
First things first, I have never been a huge fan of Brad. He's the guy that walked away in a previous season. Yep, this d-bag decided to go on the show twice. He's not that bad, better than Jake of course, but whatevs.
His top two picks on the other hand...great choices. I equally liked both of them, rather than my usual...loving one and not really liking the other. Emily and Chantal are very different people, but both suitable choices for Brad. It really was a win-win situation.
So, I'm chilling on my couch as he picks sweet Southern Emily and proposes (Em is the blond). They laugh, they cry, and all seems like a wonderful fairy tale. I was really happy with the result.
Until the After the Final Rose show starts and Emily starts dropping bombs!
{Insert Bombs over Baghdad song here}
They're together, but broke up once between the finale and now, they still love each other. Man-o-man is she the jealous-type. She's not ready to get married, refuses to move to Austin, admits to giving Brad major hell on Monday nights (and Tuesday mornings) after the show airs and feels he gave out too much "material".
Um, earth to Emily? Where did you go? Where's the strong but sweet, innocent, not a mean bone in her body Emily we all fell in love with on the show?
Don't get me wrong, she's still sweet and only human, but she knew exactly what she was getting into when she went on the show. The Bachelor dating multiple girls and giving out the material is the entire concept of the show.
It just seemed a little strange to me. He is most definitely into her, which was nice to see, but I didn't like how she kept saying "I love you" over and over and over. Especially after each bomb she dropped. Seemed a little forced from her side, as if she couldn't think of anything better to say to him, so she just kept saying those three little words.
I hope they work out, but don't get your hopes up. There's only three couples who have made it...in 15 seasons of The Bachelor and 6 seasons of the Bachelorette.
Clearly, this process doesn't work well. Maybe they should venture to a bar in hopes of finding the one?
There's nothing better than meeting your significant other over Old Style Pineapple and Sweet Caroline at the So Long Saloon. That's my story folks. And let me assure you, there are no bombs in our household.
Well at least not on Tuesday mornings. We stay up and fight it out on Monday nights.

Hilarious! I was a little bummed too... but at the same time I thought they were super real. Meaning, every other couple acts like everything is perfect and then breaks up. At least they had the balls on TV to say it wasn't all roses... you know?! I hope they end up together though!
I completely agree....she's kinda a crazy jealous B! Really sweet Emily you thought you were the only girl he was makin out...jeezzzz get a clue :)
I love the Bach, but boycotted this season because I seriously CAN NOT stand that guy! I appreciate the recap though... it was hard not watching! :)
I might have been a little bit bitter b/c one of the girls he dumped in his first finale was from Wichita!
I can't get over the fact that he is 14 years older than her! I don't blame her for acting the way she did. She has a daughter and has a lot more at stake than Brad.
I am with Jamie. I also boycotted this season because Brad is an extreme DB. Thanks for the update! Can't wait for the next round of crazies!
Ahhh! I kept saying 'she is completely different than she was on the show!'
However, I can NOT wait for the Bach Pad 2!
Agreed, Emily totally surprised me! Brad seems like a scrappy fighter too...he's so defensive about everything! I'm with you though, there's nothing wrong with meeting at a bar--or $2.50 pitchers at Pat's :)
Ah man, I miss Old Style and Pineapple! Those were the good ol' days :)
