User blog comment:Berryleaf/Why I Think Gidgette Is Utterly Awful/@comment-31556666-20161104152201

I'm going to keep an open mind on what you said like you've said because I don't want this to be an attack.

I think a lot of what you're saying is pretty incorrect and I interpret what you interpret the complete opposite.

I guess whether Bridgette being eliminated when she did is purely opinionated but I would've probably eliminated her at this point too. The spot of a somewhat social but somewhat insecure main protagonist was already a role Gwen was much more established in. Bridgette being there much longer would diminish that role.

I absolutely love the guys alliance because it added some actual tension to an otherwise pretty stale season with the only spice to it being Heather. It's not sexist because it "targets girls". Duncan didn't target girls because he's sexist. He targeted them because he was outnumbered. If you were there with the knowledge that your opposite gender was outnumbering you, would you really just sit back and let yourself be voted off there and then? Duncan even nearly got voted off in this episode, and had he not even went with this plan he would've been eliminated. But this is a Gidgette discussion. Point is, just because this is a guys alliance doesn't mean these people are sexist or meninist. I'll admit, in this episode, Duncan does still make a passing comment about females but he does snide insults against anyone so it really doesn't bother me. And Duncan did not push for Trent's elimination. That was all Leshawna and Heather.

And really who else could the guys have even targeted? Gwen was generally seen as a middle of the road contestant people just generally enjoy so she's not on their radar, Lindsay was just Heather's sidekick so she wasn't a threat either, Izzy had the worst social game ever and therefore wasn't a threat, and Leshawna and Heather had immunity.

And Geoff didn't do this whole thing with "very little incentive". He was legitimately scared of doing it and his actual reason was because he was scared of what might happen. I definitely don't see how this means the relationship as a whole has a lack of trust and loyalty. If you were asked who one of the closest couples are, you'd probably say them. Geoff made a very severe error but I would much rather these realistic faults in a relationship rather than a prefect relationship that everyone hates such as Mike and Zoey. And what? Geoff didn't care that the guys voted her off? That makes absolutely no sense. He bawled his eyes out the episode right after and wasn't buddy buddy with the guys alliance at all following this.

And he was not fake about crying? What are you talking about? He created an entire bike based around her that he flat out called Bridgette. Almost his entire dialogue in the episode after was about her. He was a broken man without her. I don't know what you're talking about bacon for. Anyway Geoff wasn't fake.

Flirting with Gwen? Flirting with Gwen??? I'm sorry but are you f***ing kidding me. That's literally how he is to anyone he befriends. You don't think he talks this way to closest friends? He felt bad for Gwen and her somewhat anti social lifestyle and tried his best to make her a close friend, inviting her to parties too. Sounds more like a generally nice guy rather than some sort of flirter.

The Monster Cash scene with Bridgette is left in the open. She says she wants to focus and then it cuts to them making out. There is absolutely no moment that indicates Geoff had walked into the confessional and decided to make out with her. I mean someone can assume they were making out outside the confessional and then went into the confessional, or if we're really going to assume everything, she could've went into his confessional and made out with him. You're just relying on assumption too much in this blog rather than things that actually happen.

I don't think you understand fully what misogynist means. It means to be sexist. TDA Geoff says and does outright cruel things (and I love him in it<333 but that's beside the point), but it's made abundantly clear this isn't him. He just got corrupted by the world of fame and him possibly becoming famous. It would happen to anyone. Bridgette suddenly forgives him more than ice because that's Gidgette. They're so close and healthy that they really will forgive when their partner f****. Bridgette ruined their relationship much worse in WT and she got forgiven too. People easily forgiving each other might be seen as unhealthy but not if the two people want to work through it, something Gidgette definitely do. I'm not saying this excuses TDA Geoff like how you assume the show does but I'm saying that this isn't really fully his personality to begin with.

And you're absolutely wrong in thinking Bridgette did much less wrong than Geoff in WT. He didn't get mad at her because she was attracted to someone else. He got mad at her because she flat out cheated on him. You're excusing that as Alejandro influencing her but Geoff got influenced by fame. It's the exact same thing. Her going through an emotional song and him forgiving her really resonated with me that these two really would do anything to save their relationship with each other. Geoff almost punched her cause he had a boxing glove? I don't even need to explain that one. Those two were never punching each other. They love each other that much.
