'Bachelorette's' David Good On Being So Bad!
I was on vacation last week but couldn't miss the opportunity to hear "Bachelorette" reject David Good explain his Jekyll and Hyde behavior on the show. So I forwent some beach time to listen to reporters drill him for answers on Thursday morning. Of course, as you can see, I wasn't willing to give up beach time to actually write this up! But better late than never, right?
Not surprisingly, David blamed most of his bad behavior on the editing, claiming what we saw was only, "1 percent of me as a person and that 1 percent was the bad part of David Good."
If that's the case, I'd hate to see the other 99 percent of David Good. I don't think he really did the best job of convincing reporters on the call that he wasn't that angry guy. The only thing I believe is that he regrets how he acted now having watched it back. He says, "I was very upset with myself the way I behaved. I thought I brought a lot more to the show than that. I had to call my grandparents and apologize after the show aired."
The looming question was how did he go from being the sweet, nervous guy who got the first impression rose on night one to the angry guy so quickly in episode two? Well, it turns out David's nerves were all an act - which Reality Steve actually revealed from a source earlier in the week before the conference call even happened.
David admitted, "No unfortunately, I was not tongue tied. They wanted us to have plan or idea to stand out. I'm a pretty confident, borderline cocky person. I thought getting out of the car and acting like that would turn her off. So, I thought it would be funny to act nervous and star struck."
Ah, reality TV. Always so real. NOT!
So, who does David think Jillian will end up with? "If I had two guys to pick, I would say Kiptyn or Reid, he's a great guy all around. Kiptyn, he's a little shorter, they look cute together."
Wow. How many men (and women) actually go on this show to find love?
Kudos to you for sticking by this show. I've watched 4 seasons --- the ones with Meredith, Andrew, Jason and Jen Schefft --- and have been disappointed every single time (at least Meredith and Andrew actually seemed like they tried to make it work though with their chosen partner). This season, I've decided to just read your blog :) It's shorter and wittier than the actual show. Who knows.. I might start watching just before the finale.
