Tell Us What You Think
7Is Rozlyn an angel? Obviously not, but neither are any of the other girls on this show, especially the ones who have already slept with the same guy - Jake. If Rozlyn had slept with Jake, there would have been no stern lecture from Chris Harrison. She would have been esteemed for acting on "love". She might even have won the "prize" - more time with Jake until the relationship sizzled. The reason Chris is taking crap for this is because most people rightly realize that NO ONE on this show deserves to "cast the first stone" (borrowing words from the Bible). As a show based on less than perfect morals, why are we surprised when less than perfect morals surface? Chris Harrison's lecture to Rozlyn, as well as the other girls chiming in to blast her felt exactly like Jimmy Swaggart calling everyone else sinners while he was sleeping with a prostitute.
I love Chris Harrison...and I think he is an excellent host and gets a whole lot crap for just doing his job. All he did on Monday night was interview Rozlyn with good questions as any interviewer/host would do...it was she who came back accusing him of cheating! That was so full of bull..I did and do feel bad for Rozlyn but under no circumstances do I dislike Chris...he's the man and if he wasn't married w/ 2 kids...I'd say make him the next bachelor! :)
this guy is such a vinegar-based vaginal cleansing product. and his obvious lame attempt at damage control is a complete failure.
rozlyn is an complete ediot and what she said about chris was just to get the attention of her.. so childish and she uglyyy!
Anybody talks trash about you must be a bunch of brats. It's great to see a man who is still devoted to the same wife and a good father. It's hard to find that kind of a man these days. Many dont have fathers that's why they trash others. Great job hosting the shows, Chris Harrison.
cris your a f%g. Take you dumb a55 out of Rozlyn's vagina. Its not you business who f%cked her! No body wants to know about you. using Rozlyn to push your fame. fame hungry b%tch!!!!!!!
I really like Chris. I think he's totally real and brings "umph" to everything he's done on TV! He has alot to offer and can't wait until he branches out further after the Bachelor series! Good luck Chris and thanks for entertaining for REAL!
