‘Bachelorette’: Chad Becomes Early Villain, But Is He Really That Bad?

However, he did not mince words in telling Us exactly what he thinks of Chad, particularly regarding a promo that shows the polarizing season 12 participant threatening to track down another contestant after they leave the show. That’s not cool. What’s going to happen next with Chad and the guys?

Chad appears to be the early villain of the season, alienating the other contestants and deploying classic pickup artist strategies to keep JoJo’s interest up. He’s too one-dimensional of a villain. He simply asked, “Would you marry me?” At least that is what I have been told by him.

Favourably, first dates are supposed to consist of new and exciting things – stuff like stomach-occupying butterflies, roses, first kisses, and in the realm of The Bachelorette, private flights to gorgeous destinations. But then again, this is the man who also enjoys making everyday comparisons to protein shakes, so logic might not be his strong suit. “You’re a meltdown”, he says to Chad at one point. Meet luxury real estate agent Chad, a six foot-four-inch simmering pillar of rage who’s obsessed with both protein and authenticity. Yet despite having to sit this one out to rehydrate, JoJo seems kind of fond of his dorky Seth Cohen vibe, and carves out some alone time with him, wellspring of kindness that she is. The best part of this is Fleiss completely trolling the crowd with “for some reason” in the tweet. “Now I actually am starting to develop some real feelings for her”. It was so physically overwhelming for him that he had to lie down, because he was white as a sheet and about to pass out. Obviously, that means he’s not a nice person period, right? They started to view him as something like a kid, not a competitor. Wells – hot Radio DJ and definite “indoor kid” (same) – wilts under the physical duress, and the others claim to feel bad until it gains him extra attention from JoJo. He didn’t give up though, and jumped back in. Like literally, there was a burning limo at the beginning of the first group date. It felt like a certificate of participation though.

Wells struggled with the drills and had to take a break. Chad is a complex guy with complex emotions. Everyone’s dances were terribly embarrassing, even Jordan Rodgers, who should do better, because he’s scored touchdowns before. While JoJo kisses James Taylor, Chad continues to voiceover the proceedings: Alex is too short, Nick is “super weird”, “they’re all like kids”, and only he is the man. JoJo slowly realizes that Chad is “overcompensating for something”. Wells, your wit is all you have! Specifically, he packs a suitcase full of said protein powder, straps that suitcase to a weight belt, and proceeds to do pull-ups with the suitcase hanging off his waist. It was such an over-the-top performance of alpha male cockiness that it bordered on self-parody.

Because who doesn’t want to date a guy who can control the weather? “It’s a gift from above” to see such a vulgar display of power, James S. said sardonically.

Tell us what you think! It’s secondhand embarrassing to see someone so un-self-aware.

“Fuck you, forreal”, Chad responds to the criticism. In one of them, where the men spun around on a stick and proposed to JoJo with a giant ring, Chad simply ran up to JoJo, grabbed her butt, and said, “Will you marry me?” His feeding frenzy was so excessive that it began to seem like he’s only on the show for the free food. They took a walk, and when they came into the party together, the other guys were all like, “WTF?”

“You’re the most disrespectful dude in this house”, says Alex, chest puffed to the heavens.

“The one question people keep asking, is why did I go on #TheBachelorette?” he wrote in another post Monday night.

New Jersey’s Will Haduch was sent home Monday night from “The Bachelorette” by star JoJo Fletcher. James T. impressed the ESPN hosts in need of promoting their ESPN show (#corporatesynergy) by promoting his own singing career. The contestant who gets the group date rose ends up being James Taylor.
