I went to the message board for abc.com and you would not believe how so many people feel the same way alot of us here feel about Lorenzo and his treatment of Sadie. I personally have nothing against Jen. She seemed very sweet, kind of dingy, but very devoted to her students, which is nice to see. I am sorry but Lorenzo needs serious tutoring in the handling of delicate matters of the heart. He was tacky, heartless, cold and just plain rude. I was really hoping to see a bit of eloquence with him at such a tender time, but he just did not come through.
Lo did have a real connection with Sadie and it scared the he$# out of him. I think her confidence to state her feelings about her standards impressed him but it was daunting to him as well. Let''s get real...he is 34, comes from a wealthy family, runs in circles with lots of opportunities to meet alot of great and lovely women, so why a tv reality show?
I also perceive that Sadie''s convictions to her religious standards may have scared him a bit. I think he would have liked to have been more physical with the lady he chose and that was certainly not going to happen with Sadie, not saying with Jen that it would or would not. I think Lorenzo screwed up big time and he knows it. There is NO frickin'' way he could not. Did anyone watch him and Jen on the morning tv shows? I didn;t but on this message board people who did cited how awkward, embarrassed. and distant he was. Not cozy to Jen or mushy or overly thrilled or anything. Jen was her normal spunky self I guess.
I admit I was rooting for Sadie and had hoped he''d come through but like all the other Bachelors before him except Byron who is marrying Mary, his pick, this coming December I think, Lo fell short. I really was in his corner up until he dumped Sadie. Not jsut for dumping her, but for the cold caddy way he did it. I do not watch these shows with the hope that everyone lives happily ever after, but for romance, entertainment for sure and for curiosity sake. Even my 12 year old who was finishing some homework perked his head up and said that Lorenzo was making a huge mistake and how he was a jerk for the words and the manner he handled himself with Sadie. My son actually said that Sadie deserved a real prince of a guy, not one who has the title and not the class. Can you believe it??? If my kid can see this, what in the he%$ did Lorenzo think when he saw himself later??? Yep, as someone mentioned on the message board, I really hope he read some of those posts and saw for himself how the audience who watched saw to be a schmuck and certainly not a man who was following his heart. You have to have one to follow it first.
Sorry for the tirade but Sadie was treated so badly by this man and now, at some point, Jen most likely will be too. With the history of this show, it is only a matter of when, not if. I am a diehard romantic and wish no one ill will, not even Lorenzo, but it is just pathetic to see this type of behavior and write it off as ok. Sadie will find that prince of a guy who is worthy of her and he will have more than a title...he''ll have her heart.
