She said Greg clearly went on the show with no intentions of getting engaged that Greg couldn’t possibly have been in love with her if he was so willing to leave and she even brought up the internet rumor that Greg, a former acting student, was using a spot on reality TV to demonstrate his acting chops for casting directors. When she walked onto the stage, she refused to hug or even say hi to Greg, and coldly walked past him en route to her seat before launching a well-prepared list of accusations. (So … everybody who watches The Bachelorette.) Months after filming, Katie is clearly still furious at Greg for his sudden decision to dump her on her own season. Ultimately, there was no winner in The Great Katie-Greg Debate, except those of us who tune into The Bachelorette to see people get mad at each other. Luckily, we all got to be flies on the wall-that’s kinda the whole point of the show. After second-place contestant Justin got his mandatory 45-second interview in front of a studio audience, he jokingly remarked that he would love to be “a fly on the wall” while Greg and Katie caught up. But nothing about Blake and Katie is as memorable as the season’s main story arc: the failed relationship between Katie and Greg, which dominated the finale.Īfter Greg’s painful decision to leave the show on its second-to-last episode, his absence dominated the pretaped portions of Monday night’s episode-would Katie carry on without Greg? And in the reunion portion of the episode, nobody really needed to see Blake and Katie talk about their ongoing love-we just desperately wanted to see Greg and Katie rehash their breakup. His raunchy humor clearly clicked with Katie, and while most of the show’s couples are simply Two Hot People who may or may not be able to hold a conversation, Blake and Katie seem like a good fit. By walking away from the show with Katie, Blake became the first contestant to return for a second season as a contestant and actually win. You’d think that Blake’s love story with Katie would stand out on its own, without the Flock of Seagulls–era technology.
And the audience members didn’t purchase their own boom boxes to bring to a TV taping-although there may be a lack of variety among boom box offerings in the 21st century, it’s clear that the massive props were provided to them. Blake didn’t use 60 percent of his luggage space on an obnoxious, oversized, outdated piece of technology-it was provided to him by The Bachelorette in hopes of making him memorable. The audience members’ boom boxes looked suspiciously similar to the one Blake held above his head-an obvious sign that this was not a BYOB (bring your own boom box) situation. That’s why, at the end of Monday night’s finale, after Blake and Katie revealed they’re still together and in love, every male member of the studio audience stood up and held a boom box above their heads while Blake and Katie danced to a song they also danced to on the show. (Which movie? I honestly couldn’t tell without looking it up, but I know enough to know that it was a big deal in the 1980s.) Their conversation that night wasn’t particularly romantic-it actually focused heavily on Blake’s urgent need to masturbate-but the boom box moment was supposed to stick with us. This season’s lasting touchstone? Blake and his boom box.Ī few weeks after coming onto the show, Blake appeared outside of Katie’s room at night reenacting that scene from that movie.
Time will tell what happens next.If a Bachelorette contestant has a chance at winning, the show will sprinkle in some moments to make them memorable-little things that can be instantly recognized as a signature of a particular relationship. There have been so many times I have been wanting to say I am done with you, but my heart has not allowed me to let you go … I feel like I have gotten clarity on you, and I do not want you to be my husband.” “I have made decisions that have kept me up at night. I have cried, I have struggled, I have screamed,” the leading lady confessed.
I am not strapped to a man right now.”Įventually, she was able to figure out the contestant who was such a mystery to her. I feel like this is a pride thing.” She also noted, “I am a grown woman, and I can make my own decisions. I get when you care for somebody, you don’t want to think about someone being intimate. Things escalated quickly and Hannah snapped back, “You’re questioning me, judging me, feel like you have the right to when you don’t at this point. “I don’t believe that is something you should be doing.” I want to hear it from your mouth,” Luke demanded of the former beauty queen. I am very confident that we are on the same page with our morals. I have been abstaining from sex for three to four years. “I know you’re not a virgin, you know I am not.
