She's another one that I'd prefer not to grace my tv again but it looks like I won't get that wish if I watch the next Bachelor.

I agree on all points. Johnny sounds like he was okay with the breakup, but just perplexed about Victoria's explanation regarding the timing of it. And it must have been hurtful to Johnny to hear the rumors about her and Greg. One thing I've noticed about Victoria is that she turns quickly, and gets quite nasty to people she perceives as being on her wrong side. And I don't think that Johnny could have been any milder to her in publicly discussing the breakup. I wonder if her reaction had more to do with a number of fans wondering out loud if she cheated on Johnny. I think it got to her.

I felt like I was watching a reactive defensive person (Victoria) prepped to enter the ring and battle with the intention of winning vs an opponent (Johnny) calmly prepped to give her a long rope knowing she would likely hang herself at some point. They both knew their relationship was irretrievable but Victoria IMO needed to put some public blame on Johnny for her own decisions. Victoria’s behavior IMO made Johnny look more mature.

I think Victoria is beautiful but insecure for all her bravado. She really did not appeal to me on Peter's season, seemed somewhat likeable, although flighty on BIP and now I'm just doing a SMH. I am so surprised at Gregg. He's a goner. Like I said she's beautiful but so are many women on the show. Her behavior has been shallow and actually obnoxious on the reunion show. Whatever folks thought of Katie, she has substance and is usually kind in most behaviors. It confuses me as to how he could/can be over the moon with both of them.
