По крайней мере она осознала это и призналась в этом, многие делают какие то вещи, которые потом оправдывают бладими намерениями. Когда я это прочла, я поняла, что, похоже, мой младший брат делал то же самое со мной, во всяком случае помню, что он частенько выводил меня из себя, а потом обзывал меня "психованной". Тем то и отличаются зрелые, осознанные люди, они осознают что они делают и берут за это ответственность! И когда человек осознает, что делал что то не так и признается в этом публично - это вообще большое дело, на это нужна смелость. Потому что известно, что можно потерять расположение каких то людей и подвергнуться критике.

Почти 2 недели было недостаточно для Шарлин, чтобы опубликовать в своем блоге отзыв о 4-м эпизоде, она, как обычно, сделала это в день выхода нового. А посему, чтобы уже разделаться с ним, сначала запощу его:

Episode 4

“This is for America” — Jordan, on Alex potentially sending Chad home on their 2-on-1

We pick up where we left off, with the requisite "pool party". I use quotations because, as Nick B aptly puts it...

... yet the arrival of Jojo suddenly makes it an event. There's an allegory in there somewhere about every Bachelor/ette activity.

Chad confronts Derek, but notice the seating arrangement with Derek and Robby, and then Ali...

As I said in my Flare recap, I LOVED how perfectly Derek stood up for himself while simultaneously shutting Chad down. Derek didn't become defensive, but rather clearly and concisely explained why everyone had a problem with Chad. My favorite line? Believe it or not, it's not "Perception is reality" (although that was pretty great), but rather...

I've mentioned before that as a contestant, possibly the worst part of an asshole housemate is the fact that while you just want to enjoy this unique experience for what it is, you're distracted by feelings of irritation and negativity. (Especially since you're forced to discuss it ad nauseam.) There was something meta about Derek referencing (and being shown referencing) his "experience."

LUKE'S 1-ON-1

I think we all knew Luke would be a frontrunner this season, and his date is pretty par for the course in terms of notorious Bachelor milestones. First is the insta-feelings, perfectly referenced by Luke...

Optimism.

And second is the traditional, not-at-all-awkward concert, where the couple stands on a random mezzanine-level platform and makes out for hundreds of iPhone videos...

Romance.

GROUP DATE

So many milestones this episode! For what season would be complete without a competitive sport Group Date where the losing team has to go home? As I've mentioned before, this format reeks of production and has nothing to do with the lead. (In fact, I've heard stories of leads begging producers to let both teams stay, to no avail.)

Evan was pretty much on fire during this date. I just love this guy's unabashed emotiveness...

There was a particularly awful (meaning obvious) example of Frankenbiting when Wells said...

Sounds like pretty standard Bachelorette fare, right? Now listen to it. Notice how it's always brought back to Jojo. Always. No guy could bemoan just losing a football game or be frustrated that he'll miss an evening out of the house. It's always about "desperately" wanting time with the lead.

After the eliminated men return home, they're required to do a Man Chat, and I laughed out loud at the following moment...

I love the enthusiasm with which Chase raises his hand, as well as how long Alex and Luke keep theirs lifted. As much as it likely sucked to live with Chad, the Schadenfreude side of me finds the above hilarious. (Sorry, guys!)

THE 2-ON-1 DATE

As Alex and Chad wait to embark on their cheery date, I enjoyed at the incredibly comfortable-looking L-shape arrangement. (Not all resorts have the U-shape the Bachelor mansion affords.) Does a single guy look like he wants to be seated here? And I'm pretty sure Daniel's chair is either a folding chair or side table...

Play Where's Waldo with Chad!
