If you missed the premiere of the The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman, you missed a delicious display of desperation, outbursts, and drunken nosedives. The field of 25 beauties was shaved down to 15, and MeeVee had the supreme honor of chatting with one of the more memorable dismissed ladies. Blakeney Rowe, a charming wild child from Alabama, became most noted for her intoxicated antics. In edition to busting out a beat-box jive for her would-be prince, Blakeney also found herself diving off her barstool in a drunken face plant. Following her brush with grace, she also had a verbal showdown with rage-monger Lindsay, another girl who didn’t make the cut.
So what was the deal regarding her war with Lindsay? And is she really a woman scorned? Blakeney tells all.
All right, first things first – what was the fight with Lindsay all about?
She had been really picking on everyone all night long. She was just looking for someone to snap on, I believe. We ended up actually hanging out and talking after we had our words. You know, everyone was looking to get their 60 seconds of fame, and she was really able to zero in on me when I caught my dress on the barstool and hit the floor.
So you guys actually made up?
Oh, absolutely. There was totally no hard feelings. We were all there just to totally have a good time, and there’s definitely no hard feelings. She was doin’ her thing and I was doin’ mine.
What was your honest opinion of Andy?
Andy was great. He really is an awesome guy. He’s got a wonderful heart. He just wasn’t a match for me, so there was really no sense in me staying longer anyway. It wouldn’t have been fair to the other girls, since there was a connection between us.

I actually thought Blakeney would stick around but I guess it just did not work out for the reasons she stated. I've watched most of the Bachelor/Bachelorette series and this one has the weakest field of contestants and Andy is about as dull as toast. Sure he's a hunk but the guy has the charisma of a pickle jar. The thing that really irritates me is that he never opens his mouth when he talks. It's like his jaw is wired shut. I think a lot of the Ironman type jocks are all too consumed with their quests for the next brass ring and itβs all they think about versus say, being human. I also hope his bed side manner as a doctor is better than what we're seeing being offered up on this show.
