Is Jamie Skaar the villain of Michelle Young’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’?
Jamie made a quick connection with Michelle when he received a rose on this season’s first one-on-one date in week 2. The pair went rock climbing, and later, Jamie got serious about a personal life story. Unfortunately, things took a turn later in the episode. Jamie brought up to Michelle that rumors were circulating about her being “boo’ed up with a tall, light-skinned baller.”
In reality, none of the men besides Jamie were gossiping about Michelle. However, he made Michelle feel that the men were questioning her integrity when he brought the rumors up. It wasn’t until week 3 that everyone found out the truth about Jamie. Michelle had a straightforward conversation with Jamie and sent him home.

Unfortunately, that’s not all the drama surrounding Jamie during week 3. During the group date, Michelle awarded Brandon J. the group date rose instead of Jamie. In a bizarre moment, Jamie pulled aside a producer to chat. “I’m like really competing with Brandon for a woman’s attention?” he said to the producer.
“You’re telling me that we’re in the same league, and I’m like, we’re not even [expletive] close. Like I gotta wait for six weeks to get to the end of this? I really felt like it would be a stronger group of guys.”
“I think the challenging part with Michelle is that she’s basically just in [expletive] spring break mode,” he continued. “It’s a little bit of a turnoff. If you genuinely thought that your husband was in the room, like, do you go spring break mode? I mean I’m not gonna judge it, doesn’t mean I can’t make fun of it,” Jamie laughed.
This conversation was held only between Jamie and the producer, so it’s very possible that Michelle knew nothing about it until the episode aired. However, the 28-year-old bachelorette had the perfect response. “What can I say…teachers truly do love Spring Break,” Michelle tweeted with a shrugging emoji, including the hashtags #nomoregradingpapers, #naptime, and #icanpeewheniwantto.
