The Bachelor Recap: Disrespectful Drama
Production has decided to destroy Jess.
I’ve started and deleted at least five different openings to this recap, including one where Lea, Jess, and the ghost of Sydney were all witches around a fire, levitating and casting a spell on Maria. Without another twist like an early-season two-on-one date or someone self-eliminating, the main impression I’m left with after watching the second night of this dramatic two-night Bachelor event is: Maria’s not that bad, right? Honestly, the reasons she’s rubbing some undetermined number of the women the wrong way seem more like “She’s in her late 20s” and “Joey is attracted to her.” I desperately wish Lea or Jess possessed even an iota of self-awareness that would allow them to connect their bad behavior to the fact that Maria won the two-on-one date and got the group-date rose.
