"The Girl Who Gets Thrown In the Pool" - Part II
Well, I couldn't find my notes. I don't know, I must've accidently thrown them out or something. I'm so sorry. I let you down. Well, obviously not you, Uncle Twitchy.
I don't really remember a damn thing, except Tyra's faux-Oprah session where the girls are asked some asinine question and expected to "open up," i.e. cry. And all the girls ganged up on Renee, which totally set a precident.
In past shows, The Bitch That Everyone Hates usually has one or two girls who are willing to put up with her. But not Renee, man! She is universally hated by every last girl in the house! HA!
So Tyra has Renee come sit by her and take her poison and then feebly attempt to defend herself. And her defense is one that I heard many time during my dating career: "I've been hurt so many times."
I've heard men use this as a reason they can't:
a) Be more than friends.
b) Stop having sex with other girls.
c) Return a phone call.
d) Be anything but a total douche.
e) Any combination of the above.
And it's lame. It was lame then, and it's lame now.
Know why?
EVERYONE HAS BEEN HURT.
If you have stepped out of your cave and seen another living creature in the distance, you've been hurt. Being hurt is not some rare phenomenon that separates one into a small sub-category of people. It's a Universal Human Experience.
Now, if you have a special brand of hurt brought about by, say, witnessing your entire family explode in a freak 4th of July accident, yeah, okay, you get a pass if you're a bit stand-offish.
But trying to use "being hurt" as an excuse to attack every single person you come in contact with, without provocation? No. Sorry. Wenchie has ruled, and that's not a reason. It's not an excuse. It's not a logical cause and effect.
My first husband was a raging drunk who spent us into foreclosure and whom I eventually had to go bail out of county jail. But you don't see me...
Okay, wait. Yes, I am making Husband's life a living hell, but that's not a direct correllation of the Ex. It's just who I am. Part of my charm, if you will.
Anyhoo, I have a different theory. I think Renee got it backwards. I don't think she's a bitch because everyone but her husband and son hurt her...
I think everyone but her husband and son hurt her because she's a bitch.
Her family is probably sick of her shit and has refused to even deal with her anymore, and instead of taking responsibility for the relationships, she has deemed it "their fault" and assumed the role of victim.
My point is this: If you are in a house of 13 people who are your gender, your age, and at least half of which are your race, and can't find one person who will talk to you? Then you are a bitch. Kill yourself.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox.
I don't even remember who got eliminated, I was so distracted by my own self-righteousness. Oh, well -- I'll find out tonight!
Comments
The photo shoot showed which girls comprehend the use of language and oh...adjectives. Having them choose four emotions to protray was a hoot and a half. So many looked exactly the same in EVERY freaking shot.
I had no problems seeing 'Been there, done that Sara' go home.
