Each season on The Bachelor they do this silly “Women Tell All” episode. Sometimes they are a complete waste of an hour. But with the big personalities this season, it was actually worth watching.

I try so hard not to get caught up in these shows. But my heart just broke for Susan. It’s hard enough to have all your family and friends watch you get your heart broken on national television. And to have your mom, as Chris Harrison said, “throw you under the bus” on top of that must hurt even more. So when the girls started to pile on, well, it was hard to watch. I wanted to shout at them “this is why Travis didn’t pick you!!!” It just speaks so poorly of them to feel the need to badmouth her like that. And when some of the girls tried to help her out, girls like Jenny jumped all over them as well.

Sarah B. got roughed up a bit as well. She got it from the girls, as well as the producers. Did they really need to show us all the footage of her drinking and being silly? It’s embarrassing enough to get dumped on national television – they really didn’t need to make it worse. She seems like a really nice girl – if she seemed a bit immature, well, it might just be because she is only 23. So if she’s acting younger than the other girls, well, it might be because she is a lot younger than the other girls.

Side note – it’s no surprise to me that Allie G. didn’t come to this show, knowing the reception she would get. But usually attending this show (or any reunion show) is part of the contract. So I want to know how she got out of it (or how much she paid as a penalty for skipping out). But I really liked how Travis handled the question about her – like a gentleman.

So, once Travis left, the talk turned to Moana, which just was strange. Apparently the girls now like her, and apparently, so does America. And even though I don’t like her, I’m almost glad to hear that everyone else does. If I’ve learned anything from watching way too many seasons of this show is that the person who everyone likes is never the one the Bachelor chooses! I don’t get what he sees in her, but, well, to each his own.

Until next week’s finale…
