Andi Dorfman - The Bachelorette 10 - Discussion - #2

The disastrous interview with CH after Eric's death was designed to show a softer, sympathetic - empathetic MeandI.  Fail!  This sit down with CH is probably another attempt at image rehab.

Regardless, we've seen that the leads can and do say no to TPTB. MeandI said yes because she has something she wants the public to hear. :strings1

ITA.  Showing a softer, sympathetic side is the one area where MeAndi's acting skills are a fail.

At least with Emily it's because she was being shown off to be the bachelorette and things with Jake/Vienna and Jason Mesnick things were explosive. Seems like Andi is doing it for the sake of doing it.

This has shades of the interview she did with CH post Eric's death when people criticized her behaviour. That interview was a disaster. I don't expect much better here.

She is unemployed. Has pretty much destroyed any law career she had going. Her designs stink. She is not getting the love and opportunities dished out to more beloved members of the Bachelor clan. This is an attempt at mea culpa, however, despite being a lawyer, she is no Nikki. Even though, I am not a Nikki fan, she was prepared, articulate and kept it classy when grilled about JPab by CH. Andi can't seem to articulate nearly as well and when pushed, instead of remaining calm, her entitlement comes out and she seems to become bitchier. I hope she prepared herself for this one because, unlike Nikki, whose time on the red carpet was limited because it was a live event, CH will have all the time in the world to keep pushing her buttons until they get what they want...and then they will edit. Good luck with that!

Unlike the Nikki interview where Nikki was being goaded and prodded to spill the worst about Jaun P but didn't (I was really impressed), CH has no reason to try and throw Josh under the bus so Andi has it easy that way.
She does have difficulty in coming across as soft and sympathetic so regardless of who is at "fault" here there is every likelyhood that she won't come across positively. I for one would be pleasantly surprised if she does.
This will be a reason for me to tune in when it airs - this current season has generated 0 interest in me so hopefully I will either be surprised at how well she turns out or watching a glorious train wreck. Either way I'm excited.

I hope for her sake, she somehow pulls it off but it is my opinion that she thinks she is good at BS'ing her way around issues which all comes across as fake. Just think about her behavior on the Red Carpet. "Yeahhhh yeahhhh Josh has to taste the food" paraphrasing

CH will make sure he does his job.
