We weren't going to do it. Val and I were going to stay away from this summer's BACHELORETTE. Did we really need to watch Jillian - who finished third in the Molly/Melissa/Jason drama triangle in the spring - choose someone to eventually break up with among 30 guys whom I probably wouldn't want to talk to on the subway, let alone be guy pals?
And then, well, let's just say that when a comment by a guy like this: "I'm Here to Suck on Some Toes and Meet Some Jillian," isn't even the greatest quote and craziest subplot of the show, then there's some fun stuff to watch week-to-week.
No, Tanner B.'s foot fetish is nothing compared to Supreme Reality Jerk Wes, who admits to the other guys and to the audience that he's only there for his country music career and, oh yeah, he has a girlfriend. And yet even when one of the dumped guys flies to Austin to tell her, she still keeps Wes around another week! Gosh, Jillian, I can't believe you've been single all this time.
Unfortunately, falling for a "bad boy" who can play country music only goes so far. and this week she let Wes go. Too bad, I was hoping she'd pick him in the end and we'd have an even better After The Show than last year's dumping of Melissa by Jason.
On his way out, Wes told the other guys that he'd be going home "to have sex," claims to be the "first guy with a girlfriend to make the final four," said he could "stop acting now," said the other guys couldn't get any tail in Austin if they tried and then cursed at the limo driver for making him spill his alcoholic beverage.
You'd think it would be hard work to be this much of a tool, but Wes pulls it off pretty seamlessly. And for the audience, awesomely to watch. If he wasn't real he'd be created as a villain in a cheesy 80s movie.
Next week, we have the whole "does one of the guys have trouble getting his little man to participate on the fantasy date" tease, so yeah, we've got nothing better to watch on Monday nights.

I wasn't going to watch it either, but there really is nothing else to watch on Monday night. Now, I'm glad I did because I don't think I could have gotten the full picture of how much of a tool Wes is if I hadn't seen it for myself. Wow! I can't believe she even stayed at the table when he said "numero uno is the most important thing". My mouth actually dropped open. I would have dismissed him right then and there! If you look up douche bag in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Wes.
My prediction is that Ed will make it to the end, but she won't choose him and then she'll regret it. The previews are hinting at another Jason situation.
We didn't see their dinner, so I didn't know about the "numero uno" comment. What a tool.
