The Bachelor -- Women Tell All -- 22-Feb-2010

Except for the usual awkwardness of all the ladies that Jake didn't pick, two and a half things stood out: Rozlyn's blatant denial, Jake's boringness and unhappiness, and the half point being Michelle's unwillingness to see how emotionally "off" she is.

The half point first: Oh crazy Michelle. Even though it looked like she was a bit embarrassed about how she was depicted, she could not face up to it that she's just an emotionally over the top girl when it comes to getting married and having kids. She would be someone I could see the writers of Criminal Minds writing about. Looks normal, but her stress point of getting married and having kids made her go off the wall and completely nutso. OK, they may not use the term "nutso" in Criminal Minds, but I think there's room for it.

The last time we saw Rozlyn on the show, she was asked to leave The Bachelor show due to getting frisky with a "staffer" (as Chris Harrington puts it; not an employee, but a staffer.) That girl is the worst liar on the planet. She's right up there with the kind of bending and twisting of the truth that alcoholics and drug addicts do to get the attention off of them to avoid the truth. I liked what Chris said to her at one point though. He mentioned how when his son is making up fantasy stories to cover the truth, there's so much energy spent in doing that while it's so much easier to just tell the truth already. She kept on with the pretend that nothing happened, but only made it worse for herself because her stories did not make sense what so ever.

Finally, there was Jake. Awkward and boring as usual. Even though they tried to show some fumble clips, he's still a dull hot guy. He really has a limited personality. Even though he had to keep it quiet because it hasn't been aired yet, it sounds like something else is going on. I just get the sense that he didn't pick any of the two final women to be his future bride. Chris also alluded to the situation by carefully posing the question, "are you happy with your decision?". Jake looked like he was going to cry again, but said he was happy. Those did not look like happy tears he was holding back; those looked like ready to fall apart break down tears.

So, next week is the finale before we get to see the after show. I get the sense that he still has it for Ali. Perhaps after all the dust settles, he may pursue her after all.
