As for Jonathan’s overnight, it just seems like these are two people that are best buds. Again, there was no L word dropped at any point during this date.
Jen clearly has stronger feelings for Marcus than she does on Jonathan. That’s why Jonathan will be going home in tonight’s episode and it’s just You know, you’ve watched Jonathan’s dates. Great guy. Seems like a really good dude and I’m just Is I thought was, you know, certainly in the running. I’m sure he was asked about bachelor and he was probably interviewed and stuff like that, thought he would’ve been a fine bachelor, but when you look at it, it’s just like, man, I just don’t see anything there with him and Jen.
I just don’t see it. They look like almost they look like just buddies. They look like two people that, you know, hooked up in college and just stayed friends or something like that. Like, I just don’t, I don’t see a lot of romance there between them. And if you listen to the dialogue between Jen and Devin, you listen to the dialogue between Jen and Marcus, and then you listen to it between Jen and Jonathan two of those three stand out over one and it’s Devin and Marcus that certainly stand out over Jonathan.
And then Marcus is overnight date. Again, this was just an editing job. This is the penultimate episode in terms of seeing Jen with the men other than, you know, her final two men. And even though there’s an episode tonight, obviously with men tell all, but finale next Tuesday night and this episode has you thinking Jen’s going to leave alone.
Because she’s got one guy that she says, I love you to who can’t reciprocate it to her. And she’s got another guy that’s told her, I love you a thousand times already. So it’s hometown dates and overnight dates has no problem opening up, sharing his feelings with her. And she, all she talks about is self sabotage and I can’t believe this is real and stuff like that.
And then he. Ends the episode knocking on her door and everybody thinks that he’s going to leave. And then we see a preview for, Oh my God, this is what happens. And Jen’s knocking on somebody’s door. And I think basically I gosh, after watching last night’s episode, I’m even more convinced that that scene of Jen saying, I can’t have you propose to me.
Is her telling Marcus, I can’t have you propose to me dot, dot, dot, until I tell you, I love you. That’s what I think it is. It’s just a guess. I haven’t heard anything in regards to what it is and this whole thing about what happens this season that’s never happened before. I don’t know. I know a lot of people have said since the very beginning, since that scene was shown as the first episode of gen season opened up, we saw the clip of her at the final altar telling seemingly Devin in the white jacket.
I can’t have you propose to me. People think it’s her wanting to propose to him and that’s the way it’s going to go. I have no idea if that’s it. I have not heard yet. Maybe I’ll find out in the last week before the finale airs next Tuesday, but that’s. The more I watched last night’s episode, the more I’m thinking like, Oh my gosh, they are so focused on the fact that Devin has told her he loves her so many times and she won’t say it in return.
And Devin’s not getting what he wants and he’s not, you know, he’s, he’s feeling like he’s going to be dropped at the altar. A woman’s not going to, he opened up to a woman and she’s not going to open up to him. It just screamed that that scene, we’re not seeing the second half of that sentence where she says, I can’t have you propose to me until I tell you I love you.
That’s what I think it is. That’s my guess. We’ll go from there. Obviously, if I find anything out, I will I will let you know for sure. One final thing to mention about the Caitlyn Bristow story in regards to what she said on the You Up podcast.
Us Weekly did something yesterday that I think was totally uncalled for. This was the tweet that they sent out. Caitlyn Bristow is apologizing for those viral comments about sending a woman, seemingly Tayshia Adams, a photo of herself pleasuring a man, seemingly Zack Clark. So you click on the story, and it talks about Caitlyn.
Reacting to the backlash that she’s getting. I read you one of the Facebook posts that she put in her off the vine, Facebook off the vine group, Facebook group yesterday. Well, she wrote some more that people screenshot and put out there. And this article has them in it and what she said, but again, did us weekly really need to go there?
I get that they want clicks and that is a very quote titillating headline to put or tweet to put out there. But it’s just very misleading. Because we know, and even in the story, we know Caitlin has said like, look, I was joking. It was a joke. Jared is a comedian. I’m trying to be funny. Every time I’m with a comedian, I try to make them laugh.
Like, I totally get it. I totally get why she tried to tell a joke. It was just a bad joke and shouldn’t have been told, along with the other things about why even bring this up when you’ve never even addressed the fact that you’re dating Zach publicly. And then you tell a story about, yes, a guy that used to be engaged to somebody I used to work with.
It’s like Okay. I thought we weren’t talking, but you weren’t going to bring this up ever and you know, I’ll put it to bed after today, unless Taysha talks about it or, you know, Caitlin has something new to say about it, but one of the things that she did right was she basically said, my humor isn’t for everybody.
She said. She replied to a fan in the Facebook group saying, I apologize how it came off. My sense of humor isn’t for everyone. She noted that she definitely didn’t mean her remarks. Jared Freed is a comedian and sometimes I try to get him to laugh with shock value. I’m sorry to everyone who took offense to this.
Feeling really quite terrible about it today. And then, she said that’s not how I responded to her, meaning Tayshia. I apologized. I was just trying to make a joke with Jared cause he’s a comedian and I like trying to make comedians laugh, but under, but understand that’s easy for people to hate on me for again, the person she would need to apologize to is Taysha, but here’s the thing we talked about it yesterday.
Tayshia has basically removed herself from Bachelor Nation. She doesn’t like, oh, I shouldn’t say she doesn’t like, she just doesn’t do anything Bachelor Nation related. She’s removed herself completely. She’s had a boyfriend for over a year that she hasn’t hard launched yet. So even Caitlyn making.
Entertainment, news sites, headlines all over the place and podcasts all talking about this. There is, I guarantee you, there is zero chance Taser’s going to address this. I don’t think she’s going to say anything in regards to this because she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. They clearly aren’t friends, they were never close, and all they were were co workers.
So, If Caitlyn wants to apologize, Caitlyn is now in Canada, she said on her Instagram stories for the next week with family. Hopefully she stays off social media. She posted last night on social media, shut off the comments because she knew people would just climb all over her. Exactly what she should do.
Maybe she shouldn’t post for a week. I don’t know if that’s possible. Maybe she’s got some brand deals that she has to post. I don’t know, but if I were her and she admittedly is in Canada with family, I would stay off social media for a week. Unless you have work related stuff to post. I understand she likes posting with, I think, with nephews or nieces or something like that.
Okay. But we all know what she’s going through right now. We all know that she’s obviously not taking this well. She does not take criticism well, and I think that’s the biggest thing. And I make it clear in my column today, everything that I’ve said about Caitlin the last two days is constructive criticism.
I’m not hating on her. I’m not calling her names. I’m not messaging her in DMS. I’m not leaving nasty messages on her captions. I’m not canceling her. I’m just saying she has to understand as big of a voice as she has in this franchise. She just has to realize, I understand her brand is about, I have no filter and sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble, but when it does it more than two or three times, and then it’s always you having to apologize.
At some point you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, okay, I need to somehow watch sometimes what I say, and it just doesn’t have to be miss no filter all the time. And that’s all. That’s my constructive criticism. I’m not going to call her names. I’m not going to cancel her over this. I’m still following her on Instagram for her sake and moving forward.
She’s laid it out there. I think she should probably maybe address it one more time because all she’s doing that the addressing that she has done the last two days has been in a Facebook group. That’s been picked up by media outlets. Maybe Instagram post. Maybe she’ll make an Instagram story. I don’t know.
We all do things that we regret for sure I’m sure she regrets making that joke. Now. She has said it’s a joke. My humor doesn’t work for everybody No, it doesn’t. Will she apologize? I don’t know I think she should but I’m not gonna hate her if she doesn’t I’m not gonna be like, oh my god What a horrible human being for doing this It’s just I think that she needs to take a longer look in the mirror at herself You And maybe even her brand and just be like, sometimes I don’t need to say every thought that comes into my head.
Which is basically kind of what she does. And that’s the thing, her fan base absolutely loves it because they feel like if she doesn’t, then she’s not being her authentic self. No, she can still be her authentic self. She can still do and say crazy, weird shit and funny things, but this wasn’t funny and it contradicts a lot of the stuff she has said about relationships and how she wants to handle them going forward.
Not to mention if she was never friends with Tayshia, which she said on the podcast on the podcast. Why would she even need to check the pulse, quote unquote, of how Taysha felt about this? Like, it just, it’s contradictory. She says she wanted to check the pulse of how Taysha felt, but if they weren’t close and they weren’t friends, why would she care?
You know, that’s, that’s the stuff that I mean. And, you know, look, these are just all kind of rhetorical questions because I don’t think she’s ever going to answer me. I haven’t reached out to her. I’m not going to reach out to her. There’s no reason. I don’t have any sort of relationship with Caitlin, but just saying, like, this is, I think she should just stay off social media and this will blow over.
But as long as she keeps posting stuff in a Facebook group or when she’s away for a week in Canada with family, I just think it’s just going to continue. And to me, it’s a dead story now. Unless Tayshia somehow directly posts about this, maybe she’ll throw some shade or indirect. I mean, I guess people will comment if she does do that, but I’m talking about if, unless Tayshia does, and I, I don’t see any way she does.
She literally hasn’t had anything to say about anything in two years. I mean, I don’t follow Tayshia. I’m pretty sure she has me blocked. If she was posting stuff that was ever controversial or whatever, it’d be picked up by the entertainment sites and I would have seen it. I can’t think of one Tayshia story outside of the fact that she’s been seen with that Luke guy numerous times over the last year.
We know that they’re dating. Yeah, I think it’s just, I think this story is, is over and done with. There’s no need to harp on it anymore. I’ve said my piece. I’ve given my opinion. There’s a difference between constructive criticism and hate. She’s getting hate from trolls and I think people in the content world are just giving her constructive criticism.
Like, Hey. Maybe looking back on this, you shouldn’t have said it. That’s not hate. That’s constructive criticism. And I think people get that mixed up. She’s definitely getting hate from trolls online. And I just, I’ll never understand that. I don’t understand why they have to do that. Why they have to come down on her so hard.
Just say like, and if it bothers you that much, then just unfollow her. You know, you don’t need to send her a message. She does not care about your message. It’s, and if, and if she does read it, it’s probably gonna make her spiral a little bit more. Even if it’s just, you know, one sentence, it’s just, she doesn’t need to read it.
So, that would be my suggestion to everybody. Just let it go. It’s over and done with. Let’s hope she does better moving forward and that’s all we can do. Anyway, thank you all for listening.
