Who cares!

I thought Wes did a much better during his 1st radio interview.

Personally, RS … I think you did Wes no favor with you style of interview, memorializing all the negative moments and not once talking up the positive, and there were positive moments during his time on The Bachelorette.

Moreover, talk about disingenuous. Whose idea was it for Wes to deny going on the show to sell CDs … of course he did! And why bother to insinuate he never spoke negatively about the other men, when he did on film and, again, during the very same 1st RS interview?

Wes should have shell out a grand and talk to a media consultant specializing in damage control to map out a winning strategy instead of listing to a bunch of yahoos about how fix what he, himself, broke.

Moreover, Wes should have been screaming, “How dare ABC slice and dice footage to insinuate Jillian wasn’t exciting and desirable enough for me, or any man on the show. Yes, I went on the show to promote my music, but I was also curious, and eventually surprised how taken I became with Jillian. She is one amazing woman!”

That is the story that sells, as opposed to boohooing about losing five gigs to the tune of $30 grand … that implied it is all about money and has always been about money.

Even so, Wes did sink his own ship with his big mouth. Although I never thought he had a girlfriend, I don’t believe for a minute he sliced and diced that much; liquored up, yes, but no one force feed him, did they?

Complete waste of bandwidth, RS. Complete waste of opportunity, Wes. Complete waste of MY time.

I do know, though, that he certainly did not seem that upset when he left. I also don’t think he looked that happy to be back (although Jillian certainly was). It bothers me that he often doesn’t look Jillian in the eye when he says the things she wants to hear. And did Jillian (or us viewers) actually believe that HE flew his parents to Hawaii to meet her?

If the rumors about him are true then he certainly is the kind of guy who could easily say things to a girl he didn’t mean. He would also be someone the producers could easily manipulate (much like someone we all know from last season). I hope she doesn’t pick him, but I’m afraid she might. If she’s as good a judge of character as she says she is, she’ll hopefully find out the truth about him (whatever it is).

Perhaps the show needed a hero and a villian. Wes got the short end of the stick and Ed lucked out. I hope Jillian finds what she wants.

Do I think these were the wrong reasons?
Probably, but how many of us have gone to to a bar, party, or social event and made a quick glance around to see if there was anyone we were super attracted to and if not just enjoyed the event anyway?

Do I think Wes had a girlfriend?
No. I think he had an ex-girlfriend whom he still ‘sees’ (for lunch)once in a while. I can also imagine how a group of guys, especially with a little alcohol, would interpret ‘sees for lunch’.

Do I think he made some inappropriate comments?
Yes, but I see Wes as a laid-back country singer used to saying whatever pops into his head. He is used to performing and talking to his audience. When I think back to country concerts I’ve been to I know inappropriate comments have been made but the audience just laughs and realizes it’s part of the entertainment. I think Wes was being himself and never expected his comments and sarcasm to be used against him.

Final thoughts on Wes -
He admitted to jillian that he’d love to hang out with her but wasn’t going to marry her. He was honest. I think the producers went way too far in destroying his character. Even the x-girlfriend has stood up for him. Sadly most people will believe whatever they see on the show.

This is a pic of Laurel plus her reaction to hearing Jake say her name on tv.

anyone have a link to a photo of the infamous laurel?

Great pic of Wes. He looks so lost and confused.
