I think that this has a lot to do with the women who producers chose. For sure their insecurities are being played up in personal interviews and demeaning challenges (having the girls choose teams for the sole purpose of seeing who is chosen last), but these contestants seem to really be missing a confidence chip. Kristian spends the episode chasing after Luke like a lost puppy and reminding the audience that she's never been liked by a boy. Heather cries after getting sick from champagne (is that possible?), and hopes that she'll finally have a guy who "likes the way that she looks, unlike her other boyfriends." Why were they dating her then? What kind of lies have people been feeding this girl? And Melissa (with an E)...where do I start? She's young I guess. At 21 it's possible that she's still riding the dissipating fumes of teenage insecurities. But I think that this is something different. She genuinely seems to have some sort of emotional issues and I'm worried about her. I've never seen her not crying. I never seen her say anything positive about herself. And she keeps getting chosen. Uh.
The best part of this episode, hands down was Malissa (with an A). She's confident and catty and a little bitchy. She's the kind of girl who thinks that every guy is in love with her. I am so happy that she's on the show. On a normal reality dating show I would hate her but I would respect the production value of the drama that it brought. But on this show she is one of just a few girls confident enough to call herself hot and really mean it. And she really is a hot bitch. So Malissa, keep giving those seething looks of bitchery. Maybe I'll keep watching.
