It never seems to fail season after season, whether it's "The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette" or even "The Bachelor in Paradise" there is always a "villain." Is it a case of the men or woman trying to make the most of their 15 seconds of fame or is it all planned out before the taping even begins?
Whether you're a faithful watcher of "The Bachelorette" or just happen to catch the previews after your local news you probably know the name Chad Johnson. He was arguably the most well-known "villain" in Bachelorette history. We were only two episodes in, when this year's bad-boy emerged. Some of us were left wondering was this former marine really this ridiculous. A lot of celebrities, contestants and viewers have weighted in on the debate taking either side.
Sure Chad was violate, belligerent and just plain rude, but was that Chad or was that the producers and writers creating the most infamous villain in "The Bachelorettes" 12 seasons? Of course no one is going to agree with Chad putting his hands on other contestants and getting in other mens' faces, and even some of his comments are too rude to stand behind. But seriously, who goes on national television and makes a fool of themselves like that?
It was only week two when we saw the beginning of Chad. It was a group date with him, James Taylor, Christian, Alex, Jordan and Nick B., who all had to pretend to purpose to Jojo. I thought this was a little weird myself and if I was a contestant I would have refused as Chad did. Chad basically said he couldn't propose to Jojo because when he did he wanted it to be filled with things he loved about her and right now all he knew about her was that she was beautiful and ready for a relationship. Is he wrong? I mean come on Bachelor nation it's only week two, unless the men have stalked Jojo how do they know anything they love about her.
One-on-one time is something that quite obviously everyone wants and something all the contestants will do anything for, including butt into someone else alone time to steal time for themselves. Chad was taking every advantage to get extra time with Jojo this season. It was quite obvious through his actions that Chad was out to make Jojo his girl -- as if he didn't make it obvious enough when he said, "To a beautiful girl, a beautiful life, f– k all you guys, I’m gonna make her my wife." In this alone time, we really do see a soft side of Chad, we heard him tell Jojo about his mother's passing just six months previous and how it was she who got him to be a fan of "The Bachelorette." Though Chad always seemed to be stealing time from well everyone this season.
Even those things were tense on the show and it made it seem like he was the biggest jerk the shows ever had there still was moments where we got to see the real Chad. Moments that made me as well as other viewers I'm sure question whether or not the franchise sabotaged his image. If you follow Chad on any social media site, especially Instagram (@realchadjohnson), then you see a more approachable side of him. He posts his love for his little pup who bragged to Jojo about during the season- who doesn't love a man who loves dogs, am I right? He inherited this little dog when his mother passed away and it loves Chad more than well dare I say all of America.
Another moment on Chad's Instagram was when he showed us what a great brother he is. Along with many "douchey" shirtless pics and some funny Bachorette GIFs, he also scatters pictures of his sister, Tiffany, who he obviously cares for very much. If you follow Chad on Twitter (@realchadjohnson), then you see his more humorous, lighter side. He isn't afraid to laugh at himself, especially when it comes to his love for protein. While live tweeting one of the episodes he said, "Don't put out delicious meats and think I won't eat it!"
So what's your take? Was it actually Chad doing well whatever Chad was doing with his time on the show or was it "The Bachelor" nation making him out to be this year's villain?
