The Bachelorette preview: A preemptive and enthusiastic goodbye to Luke P.
Our Bachelorette Hannah says goodbye to Luke P. tonight. Thank God in your showers tomorrow morning. The nightmare is finally over.
With only two episodes of The Bachelorette left, we’re at the point in the season where it’s time to unload the trash. Unfortunately, Hannah won’t be getting rid of all of her garbage this week, but at least we know the worst of the two is leaving.
Goodbye, Luke. We will not miss you. Not one bit. You’ve been on The Bachelorette for eight weeks too many now and it’s about time we all get the satisfaction in watching your disrespectful self walk out that door.
Here are some things we hope you learned along the way:
Emotional blackmail probably isn’t the way to go
You trapped Hannah this season. You trapped her emotionally with words you did not mean and it’s gotten us to this point – where she can’t send you home and we all have to suffer through week after week of listening to your nonsense. It’s exhausting, man. If it’s this exhausting for us, I can’t begin to imagine what Hannah is going through/went through with you. When you lie on TV, we all get to fact check you and you look really stupid. Try something else next time.
People are not objects
No one owes you anything. It’s easy to see that you’ve walked through life acting like the world is indebted to you for some reason, but that’s not the way it works. If you want people to respect you, show them some respect. Especially Hannah. You have absolutely no right to tell her what she can and can’t do, regardless of your status with her.
Own up to your mistakes
What a concept! Stop playing the blame game, Luke. You preach your new-found religious values as if we aren’t watching you ignore them on a weekly basis. Here’s a general rule of thumb to live by: If you are the one universally disliked person in a room of 30, it’s time to start thinking about what you could be doing differently.
Be nicer. To everyone
Going along with the previous statement, being nicer to people would be so helpful towards this crusade you’re on to fool others into thinking people actually like you. Don’t just pretend to be nice to them when it’s convenient. Actually be nice to them – all the time – without a hidden agenda. Try this and I bet your quality of life improves drastically.
Stop talking you-know-what
Putting others down when you’re in a tight spot is a bad look. It’s childish. Adults own up to mistakes; children blame others in fear of facing consequences.
Your faults are not Hannah’s problem
You’re blaming Hannah because you are upset. Maybe it has nothing to do with her “boneheaded decisions” and everything to do with you being a bonehead.
Stay in your lane
Please, dude. When Hannah is having her big moment tonight, telling you off and making this whole season worth watching, just listen and take it. You’ve certainly earned it.
2019 started off as the year of positivity. You ruined that. I tried really hard but couldn’t be nice to you and it’s entirely your fault. Stop sucking, bud. Start being the good person that only you think you are. It isn’t too late. You have a chance to turn this into something good. A “God in the shower” moment, if you will. Take these lessons. Take all the backlash online. Use it to learn and be a better person.
Be better.
Luke gets booted from The Bachelorette tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
