I love the overreaction to Wednesday’s “Bachelorette” scandal. Some people love it, some people think it’s stupid, some think it’s not even a scandal, and some people have 1,000 questions.

With that said, suck it up Crystal. You’re being given the opportunity of lifetime. Quitting because of exhaustion and missing your family? Really? You were strumming your guitar in subways looking like a homeless person nine months and now look where you are. Probably not gonna get too many people feeling sorry for you at this point. Regardless of if you … Continue reading
