Every time I read a hot piece of garbage on this family of sites I think it’s totally going to be the bottom this time. And then another contributor says “hold my beer” and churns out a fresh turd.

Alternate title: Publicist Does Her Job, Jezebel Writer Doesn’t Understand His.

I bet it’s really frustrating to try to promote your work, only to have it derailed and ignored by someone throwing a tantrum because he only wanted to talk about his interests, even though you’ve already made your views on that topic clear in the past ... just not with him.

The only place for “besotted” is a romance novel. I think you meant “beset.”

Why are you here? You don’t like us and we don’t like you.

Tonight: A flack did her job. More at 11.

...... No dude. Just no.

I feel like the publicists role was to keep you talking about the movie, so when it went off to another direction they stepped in.

WOMEN DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS just because you’re a gay guy (and therefore not threatening or something????) at a women’s site.

I just eyerolled into oblivion.

Oh, Rich.

Also, perspective of looking back, Melissa got back together with her ex like right after this happened and now is happily married with three kids. So I guess she’s kind of lucky that all went down the way it did.

So, I have never been able to get through more than five minutes of this show, but I’m full on addicted to all the recaps. The thing I found most truly unbelievable about what I read went down Monday, was that there was footage of Becca and Arie playing chess. That dude does NOT know how to play chess. There’s just no…

I was watching this last night and my boyfriend stopped in front of TV and went on a long rant about what a weird sartorial choice that was. He’s like she’s basically just wearing a bikini top and everyone else is wearing actual clothes. It blew his mind so hard that I couldn’t stop laughing.

Agree. Not only does he seem like a douche, but a very, very dumb douche. As in, if I met him and he was never this Bachelor person, and had a date with him, I am 10000% sure I would never call him back because our conversation would remind me that he offered nothing of substance - no humor, no culture. Just him…

No one is on this tv show primarily to find love. Everyone is on this tv show primarily to be on a tv show.

Yeah and I feel a lot less icky since Becca, who supposedly had her heart crushed into a million pieces, was totally ready to be the Bachelorette. Like...I guess it was more humiliating than anything else?

You know, everyone keeps comparing him to Jason Mesnick, but that guy, as insufferable as that episode/situation was, seemed genuinely distraught and horrified by what he contractually had to do on television. Plus, for many unexplained reasons, I hated Melissa Rycroft, so while it was sad (because getting dumped on…

I’m always surprised by the contestants (men or women) being upset about anything that happens on this show. Yes, Arie is gross and maybe emotionally manipulative, but the basis of this entire show is emotional manipulation! All these women including all of the Beccas and all of the Laurens signed up to ‘fall in love’…

Is Bekah straight-up wearing my $15 white Maidenform bra under a mesh top on national television? And are those the earrings from her driver’s license?! <3
