As I occasionally stumble upon the Bachelor, Bachelorette and Chris Harrison blogs during my visits to People.com, I happened to come across Dave's effort to clear the air about his seemingly explosive personality. Dave begins that "there is a lot more to me than what you saw on TV" and proceeds to describe what he believes is his true self - including his role as the guy who "befriended the producers." Really? If his angry persona was in fact "contrived," who does he think carried out this objective...
Unfortunately for Dave, his appeal to the public didn't have quite the same effect as he planned. Inevitably, an angry "famous" (a nod to one of our new acquaintances) person will always end up showing his or her true colors. In some cases, they often reveal more about themselves than they anticipated in an effort to show what "the camera never captured." The traits he tries to convince America are "the real him" were not the positive ones he was hoping for. Dave describes himself as "upbeat and outgoing." Perhaps by "upbeat," he means he would like to "up and beat" someone (most likely Juan)? While he tried to downplay his statement "I want to kill Juan" by saying "that doesn't mean I want to kill Juan," I'm not sure Juan, the other housemates, or the viewers, would agree. He also reveals that he is not at all the shy, tongue-tied bachelor that Jillian found endearing, leading her to pin him with the "first impression rose." So I guess that makes him a liar? Or at the very least, disingenuous? In addition, he refers to himself in third person, and we all know the tendency of certain self-involved people to take this approach.
Let's hope Dave enrolls in anger management classes soon - and when he graduates, hopefully his "comeback" in People will feature a picture of him kissing a puppy.
