Jed’s two-timing ways inadvertently highlight one of the show’s biggest problems
Y’all, it’s not looking good for Alabama Hannah. On June 18, Bachelor Nation freaked out when it was revealed that current Bachelorette contestant and fan fave Jed Wyatt allegedly had a girlfriend throughout filming. The revelation came on the heels of episode 6, which saw Bachelorette Hannah Brown seriously consider up and quitting after the men acted like straight up trash.
I have waited my entire life just to see Tyler C in a kilt and I am now satisfied 😩👅 #TheBachelorette pic.twitter.com/YvshxiR8akThe week’s date—which saw the men throw axes, carry buckets of milk, wrestle and use too many Braveheart references to count—followed the seriously dangerous rugby date from episode 4 , and a string of aggressive, hyper-masculine dates in previous seasons of the show.
The language some of the men use is super… icky And by “icky” we mean toxic and possessive. Maybe it was the constant back-and-forth from the Lukes and about the Lukes, but if episode 5 highlighted anything, it’s that the language a lot of the men are using is hella problematic. Luke P’s language just reinforces the idea that Hannah is an object that can be won. Not, you know, a living, breathing woman with real dimensions and a mind of her own. It positions the men’s quest for love as something that’s not about Hannah or their feelings for her, but rather about finding another arena in which the men can compete against each other, one up each other and ultimately win. It’s a game. And Hannah is the trophy one lucky man will win at the end.
Many of the men repeatedly emphasize that they’re ready to throw down for the affection of the woman they to love. Even Peter, who some may see as an exception to this rule thanks to his sweet disposition and endearing awkwardness, fits the bill. He’s conventionally attractive and similarly wants to “fight” for Hannah by showing his physical prowess.
