I made a commitment to blog Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and despite being exhausted after a night out, I'm determined to write something of substance in order to fulfill my commitment.
Watching the Bachelorette during the summer is such a good form of escapism for me. I don't have to work on nights and weekends and following along with this cheesy love story is a fun (or funny) way to get away on Monday nights. The big story this season is Ashley falling for this tool Bentley who plays with her heart until he leaves suddenly in the middle of the show. She is still hung up on him not knowing why he really leaves and we are all anxiously waiting Monday to find out what happens when she gets a chance to seek closure.
Most Bachelorette fans will tell you they are absolutely sick of hearing about Bentley. He is/was a tool and chose to walk away from the show so why do we have to continue to listen to Ashley gab about how much she misses him and felt like they had a connection. It seems outlandish to the viewer who watched Bentley's interviews about how he had no interest in Ashley and wished the other chick had been on the show. No one wants to hear about Bentley anymore. I wish the host, Chris Harrison, or a producer, or someone would show Ashley Bentley's interviews so she could move on.
I was absolutely frustrated on Monday when I realized I could be in her shoes. I'm usually too embarrassed to talk about the guy I'm hung up on through national tv, but it's crazy how you can get stuck on someone.. years later. I pray I'm not the annoying "Ashley" daydreaming about a boy who could care less about me... but I guess if I didn't see his ABC interviews, I have no idea. It really makes you think about who you spend your time pining after. I don't want to be an annoying Ashley pining after "Bentley" but I do want to be honest with myself about how I feel in hopes guys would be honest with me. Here's to seeking something real... beyond the Bachelorette.
