Jillian, we love you as the Bachelorette. You're a girl's girl. You're beautiful, but not in a faux Hollywood sort of way. You seem down to earth, yet smart. At least until we encountered this:On a date with Kiptyn, Jillian tells viewers, "today it's just about me and him."
Maybe she's just a woman who puts herself first, grammar rules be damned.
She and Kyptyn might be well matched.
"Everything feels good with Jillian and I right now. Everything feels good."
Feels good maybe. Sounds good? We think not.
We get a whole bunch more over the next two hours.
At dinner Jillian tells the men: "while you guys go find tequila, me and Jake are going to go for a little trip."
Contestant Jesse to Jillian: "You're so driven, successful already, sense of humor. Those three things is the complete package.
Jesse to the camera: "Me and Jillian, we had a great conversation."
Grammar Goddess isn't sure she can take much more.
Contestant Mike to Jillian: "I just gotta feel like it's me and you right now."
Did the producers tell everyone to eschew grammar rules? Is is actually not "reality," but written as a script by an illiterate writer who doesn't know the other person's name comes before "me?" Are they all morons?
Jillian offers us more: "I fell like after talking to Mike tonight, him and I have a lot more in common."
Him and I?
Forget bachelors and roses and the search for true love. Let's just find people who can identify the right pronoun and put it in the proper place in a sentence!
I found your blog because I was so appalled watching all the horrendous grammar errors on The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Firstly, the contestants ALWAYS say something along the lines of "Jake and I's relationship" or more recently on Ashley's season, "Ben and I's time together." Yikes! I have heard at least ten people on the show say something like that in the last year. Though I didn't know that you put the other person's name first in the "you and me" formation. I learned something! thanks!
