The latest episode of The Bachelorette was by far the buzziest of the season and featured Hannah's highly anticipated face-off with villain Luke P. So who better to offer his own thoughts on the sex-focused showdown than one of the franchise's most memorable villains himself: Chad Johnson, a.k.a. the fitness enthusiast from JoJo Fletcher's season. And yes, we forced Chad to start watching without having seen the earlier episodes, which left him quite confused. Take it away, Chad.
Next up, we move on to Tyler’s date. Tyler is the tall, skinny guy with the personality of brick that came out of a romantic movie. Says all the right things that should technically work, but his face never matches his words. The weird part of this whole thing was when they were both getting massages, and Tyler sneakily swaps with the masseuse to start massaging Hannah on his own without asking her. Simply because happy music is played while Tyler is on screen, nobody thinks anything wrong of that behavior. Imagine if they played the villain music while he snuck over to start massaging her … May have changed the way that situation was viewed.
Next up, she’s on a date with Jed, the guy who apparently has a current girlfriend back home. They go on a lunch hangout with some random people from whatever country they’re in, and it makes no sense. Who are these people? Why are they asking so many questions? There's not a lot of logic here, but they seem friendly. Personally, I would have been like, “Who the hell are y’all, and why are y’all so invested in my life?”
Jed pulls Hannah to the side and gives her a long rant about how he wants Luke gone … which, again, makes no sense. When has this plan ever worked out for anyone on the show? All it does is make you look like a needy asshole with an agenda. But uh, what do we expect from the country singer who went on the show to promote his career, and whose family doesn't even want him to end up with Hannah?
Everyone is fighting over what Jesus wants, and all I can think is that Jesus wanted you to eat that food that you didn’t even touch on the date.
She bangs Jed. End scene.
Next up is her date with Luke, taking a helicopter to Santorini. Seems a little unfair, since on my season, I had to take a helicopter to a stupid forest with another dude—but I digress.
I know we’re all supposed to think Hannah is in the right at this moment. But all he said was if she banged “all of the guys,” he might be a little upset and would probably leave. Every time he tries to explain himself, Hannah keeps cutting him off. Once again, I know I’m supposed to think that Hannah is right because thats how The Bachelorette works, but she seemed to get excessively angry at him for him basically saying, “Hey, so if you bang everyone here, it just might change my perception of marrying you.” Yes, Hannah, he doesn’t get to decide what you can and cannot do, but you cannot decide what he does and does not like.
She sends Luke home, but not without a fight. He wanted to talk to her a little because she definitely took what he was saying in the worst possible context, but she is the Bachelorette, so at this moment, she’s in charge. Weirdest situation I’ve ever seen on the show. I don’t know whats going on. Everyone is fighting over what Jesus wants, and all I can think is that Jesus wanted you to eat that food that you didn’t even touch on the date. I’m going to go gouge out my eyeballs and stab my ears with sharpened pencils now.
Chad Johnson fought—quite literally—for JoJo Fletcher's love on season 12 of The Bachelorette. He returned for season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise and has also appeared on Famously Single, Celebrity Big Brother UK and Ex on the Beach.
