âThatâs why everybody hates meâbecause I wasnât willing to play along,â said Chad during Tuesday nightâs Men Tell All episode of The Bachelorette, where the men JoJo rejected (sans her final two) converged to discuss the season. Well, Chad, thatâs sort of true.
âTheyâre all here for a reason,â he said of his fellow contestants, outlining the many things they wanted to promote (their businesses, themselves), claiming (as he has before) that none of them were really âhere for the right reasons,â as the saying goes. Chadâs moment in the hot seat was certainly more than a momentâit really dragged onâand it was hard to take seriously, given that, well, if everyoneâs here to get something, what is he here to get?
Chad brought up how lovely Grant and Robbyâs ex-girlfriends (he and others claim Grant and Robby broke up with these women and then quickly signed up for the show) are, but didnât explain how it was appropriate for him to be seen dabbling with each of them as the show has aired. But ignorance was the name of the game last night (and perhaps always on this show): âChad, back up, nobody knows who you guys are talking about,â Chris Harrison said to him, ignoring the fact that actually, a lot of people read Reality Steve and do know who heâs talking about. They also know that the line-up of men the producers cast for JoJo this season were hardly Grade A beef.
Chadâs shtick is that heâs real, that heâll tell a truthâhe said last night that JoJo probably didnât want to keep him around because he was the bad guy and people would think less of herâbut all the while ignoring his own truth. Itâs hard to critique a system when youâre still in it; on the one hand, you still have the dirt, while on the other, youâre still benefitting from it. He pulled no punches, and frankly, that ABC aired his worst insults and spoilers shows that theyâre as bad as theyâre painting him out to be.
âObviously we know that Robby broke up with his girlfriend days before filming in order to be on the show to be with you. And we both know Jordan is a liar cheater whose own older brother wonât even talk to him,â Chad said to JoJo during their confrontation, her face trying to hold back displeasure. We do know thatâthough why we know that was of course never acknowledgedâbut then things moved swiftly along. JoJo claimed she could âgo off right now,â but then of course did not, not wanting to give credence to his comments about her suitors, or sully her image. She said it was because he wasnât worth her breath, which is a disingenuous way of saying that he had played his part, and now he was done.
