Love Alarm Clap Clap Clap: Jasmine
People need to understand the concept of this show. It is not just a dating show. It is also a GAME and by gaining hearts is how you play and win it. The Goal is to earn as many hearts possible and then couple up with someone to combine the total of hearts.
And in every game, you need to strategize. So that's what Jasmine obviously did. Every single one of them had their own strategy and fortunately, Jasmine and Silka Deer's strategy worked out.
Some people claim it was all scripted. Probably, but maybe not when it comes to their opinion about their feelings. We could verify that on the unreleased clips during the lie detector test they did during the first episode. See how the staffs were shocked when they found out about Tinkerbell liking a fellow 'guy' contestant. The way I see it, they do guide the contestants about the direction of the show. They ask them questions according to the show's script and then use the responses the way they want to.
It was all up on the producers on how they will manipulate the interviews and scenes to follow what they envisioned for the show.
They did that to Jasmine twice. First was when they hide the fact that Jasmine was bisexual and likes White Rose. The poor girl was very honest from the very start.
The second time was when they didn't include in the episode cut of her conversation with White Rose that she decided to choose Silka Deer in the finale.
During the entire episode 12, did you see Jasmine's teary eyes whenever she tries to confess her feelings to White Rose? But then, I was a bit surprised when she suddenly cries and only to find out that it was the conversation about her choosing Deer.
It made me think that maybe she's frustrated with the situation? She knows she's in a show but she couldn't help being vulnerable during that moment. She has been confessing her feelings for White Rose, let's say that the scenes might be scripted but her feelings weren't. You couldn't fake the blushes on Jasmine's cheeks with every interactions she had with White Rose. Those were her real feelings and having to repeatedly tell someone you liked them was very hard and emotionally draining, especially when it was not reciprocated.
It was obvious that they wanted to film her telling White Rose her deep feelings but then in the end she still has to choose Deer. That's just f*cked up.
It may have given away the finale if they included that scene that's why they omitted it, but you could sense that Jasmine was not completely happy with that decision. She was obviously hurting too. All through out the day she was always saying how she wanted to be honest with her feelings but then to realize that she still can't choose her. Hence the tears.
And for those people who are so upset with Jasmine for choosing a guy in the finale, you have to remember that the show is still on. The game is still not over.
So now let's talk about the facts about the hearts, shall we?
White Rose has no remaining hearts. If Jasmine didn't care about the game at all, she would definitely share or even shoulder the cost of the date. But Jasmine didn't. She lets White Rose pay for it all with no objection because seven hearts were a lot. She obviously would be in the disadvantage if she pays for it, since there won't be a chance to earn those hearts back anymore. Sadly, choosing White Rose in the finale is not an option anymore.
Tarzan? She did try at first to hook him in when he showed interest on her. But then he started to direct his attention to Chacha because let's be honest, Chacha was very good with her strategy as well just like Jasmine. I think there was a time when Jasmine was outside with him and then Chacha sent him a message. It was like reminding him that, 'you can't like another girl because I am still playing this game with you'. And then Tinkerbell and Silka Deer started to show interest on Jasmine, resulting to Tarzan focusing more of his attention now to Chacha.
And then there is Tinkerbell, who has been buying a lot of cards. 😂 Jasmine may have estimated his remaining hearts and figured there wasn't much left of it. She knew Chacha never gave him a heart. Gumiho might have given him one since she showed interest on him before she was eliminated. Juliet and Queen bee seemed more interested with the other guys. And as proof that Jasmine knows their total remaining hearts, remember the night of Gumiho's elimination? She asked around to find out who has the fewest hearts. She asked both guys their exact number.
Lastly, we all know how Deer is a bit popular among the girls. And White rose has been vocal to her about choosing Deer every single time. It was a sure number of votes from White Rose plus the hearts she gave him. And then Queen bee and Juliet came and show interest on him too. It was pretty obvious during the spin the bottle. So in her head, she was sure that he has plenty of hearts.
Now if you were Jasmine, wouldn't you choose Deer to win the game?
And now let's try to talk about Jasmine's feelings.
First of all, she has been very honest since the start that she likes both genders. In every unreleased clips during her interviews, we all see how she has always been very vocal about her crush on White Rose with the staffs. The first impression choice and with the lie detector test results, it was never a secret to them. But sadly, it was to us until they decided to share it during the later episode.
Second, it was seen in her actions towards White Rose. She always takes care of her and talks to her in every chance that she gets. Jasmine even mentioned that she doesn't plan to show her feelings by ringing Rose's alarm because she's worried on how Rose might react. She's being careful because Jasmine is a very considerate person especially to those people that she likes.
Even White Rose remind her to be selfish on her choice just like what the others do. She may have given up the game but she sincerely wants Jasmine to win it. But she was worried that she won't if Jasmine continues to choose her and her feelings.
Lastly, she had a PLAN. Like what she have said during her yacht 'date' with White Rose, she originally have everything planned out. And it showed on every episodes. It was obvious that she targeted Tinkerbell because she liked him since the start. Deer was not an option for her at the beginning. The only time he caught her attention was because of curiosity when White Rose showed interest on him.
She was curious why the two people that she likes are interested in him. She started to pay attention to him more and stare at him to observe which Deer eventually caught on. And since he knows he already got White Rose's attention, he took the opportunity to be close to Jasmine. They were both playing the game and eventually catched some feelings as well.
So from liking only two people on the show, Jasmine started to tell people that she likes three.
Was it a lie, maybe or maybe not. Remember that Jasmine can also be attracted to guys. And Deer has been showing interest only to her and ignoring White Rose ever since their date. He was being possessive of her ever since they became close. Again, don't forget, Jasmine is open in liking guys too. And having the whole attention of the guy you like can be very heart fluttering as well.
It was then she realized that she likes Thinkerbell only as a friend. It is now between White Rose and Silka Deer. But the question is, who will help her win the game?
Remember how it was easy for her to lie to both of the guys? Not only about the 'choosing you since the start' lie, but also the succeeding conversations she had with each of them reassuring each of the guys that she is interested in them even if she spends time with the other guy. She was so smart for doing that because she has to make sure to still get those hearts from both guys to win. If she didn't lie, she could loose one of them to Queen bee or Juliet.
And now the show is coming to an end. The show needed something to attract the viewer's attention. That's where Jasmine's clips about being interested in White Rose came in. It was risky for them, yes. But it was the most surprising and 'might' caught interest of the gay community because of representation. Sadly but true.
But how can they do that if Jasmine starts to focus her attention to Deer? Because currently, he is her best choice when it comes to heart points. But no matter how smart she think she is, she still can't decide how the show will go.
Maybe Tinkerbell was instructed to reveal 'Jasmine's lie' to Deer to cause drama? Or maybe they even gave Jasmine the go ahead to act on her feelings for White Rose?
People has been so invested on Jasmine and White Rose story that they forgot that this is also a Dating show with a prize money. They joined the show for a possible career break or if the prize money is really real, to win it. So some people attacking Jasmine right now is so unfair on her.
I think all of them forgot how Chacha is popular with the three guys on the show. Jasmine needed atleast two guys to be interested in her to compete with Chacha.
Don't blame her for her decision. She did try to be honest with her feelings but due to some restrictions she had to act accordingly.
Why is it her fault now? She only played the game and honestly, she did it very well. She followed the rules and won in the end.
Now tell me, why can't she pick Silka Deer when obviously she has more chance to win against ChaCha if she chooses him?
You still want her to choose White Rose despite the fact that the couple needs to combine the number of hearts to win? But how could she choose her when White Rose doesn't have any hearts left to share?
Jasmine kept on saying, 'If only I was brave" repeatedly during episode 12 and 13. She was desperately giving us a hint that she's not brave enough to choose White Rose on the show. Even though her stopping in front of White Rose was her last attempt telling her that she really wanted to choose her but she's just not allowed to do so. We could see the guys were also taken a back when Jasmine stops in front front of her. Clearly, it wasn't on the script. 😂 Tinkerbell was looking at the staffs as if saying, 'Jasmine didn't follow the instruction, are we going to reshoot it?"
On episode 12, she was genuinely happy when White Rose gave her a heart. Even though Jasmine wasn't brave enough to do the same, they both know each others feelings. And for her, knowing how Jasmine really feels towards her was more than enough. That one heart that she gave to her was more meaningful than the hearts she has given Silka Deer. White Rose may still like him but she obviously cares about Jasmine more now. Maybe as a friend but the important thing is, she definitely knows Jasmine loves her more than that.
Some said Jasmine was all shy and smiling during the finale when they became a couple. Again people, Jasmine likes Silka Deer as well. Maybe not as much as she likes White Rose but it was obvious that she was attracted to him by the end of the show. And wouldn't you be happy if you have the 50% chance of winning because the guy you like had chosen you too? And the fact that they both had a misunderstanding before the finale only to find out that he still gave her his last vote. The girl was very nervous when White rose choose Deer and waits for the alarm to ring. It was obvious how much she wanted to win the show. Because if she didn't, then going through all of those heartache and choosing Deer won't be worth it.
So please, stop attacking both of the girls just because they didn't choose each other on the show. Remember, those were only few days of their lives that we have witnessed. We didn't know the in between conversations and the situation after the show has ended. Obviously the girls still interacts on IG right now. Whether they choose to remain friends or just acquaintances, let us respect their private lives and their feelings.
Let's be happy and proud of her because Jasmine had tried to be brave. She did her best. Not all of us were brave enough to do what ever we want in a society that doesn't accept and believe in FREE LOVE. 😢
So stop being mean gays and send them love instead. 👭❤️😊
