"Did anyone else catch last night&amp;amp;#8217;s extremely cringe-worthy episode of Bachelor Pad? Of course the whole Melissa and Blake situation was excruciatingly painful to watch, but I just about died when Kasey pulled out a ring box while he and girlfriend Vienna were enjoying some alone time on what was their six-month date-iversary. (Followed by that serenade! Shudder!) Once Vienna got past the initial shock of seeing a ring box, she blurted out, &amp;amp;#8220;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t want that to be an engagement ring!&amp;amp;#8221; It wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t an engagement ring, but it was a promise ring, which she accepted. I suppose I get promise rings for super-young or super-broke couples. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m not old enough to marry you (or I can&amp;amp;#8217;t afford an engagement ring) but I want to give you something that shows you I&amp;amp;#8217;m committed to our future.&amp;amp;#8221; That&amp;amp;#8217;s a nice sentiment, right? But I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know. If Rory had busted out with a promise ring at any point in our pre-engagement relationship, I think I would have been ... confused? Plus, Vienna&amp;amp;#8217;s already had enough rings to last a few lifetimes: She was engaged to and then married Sgt. Josh Riley when she was 23. After their divorce, her dad gave her a promise ring of sorts, which she later replaced with an engagement ring from Jake Pavelka when she accepted his final rose at the end of The Bachelor. That ring went back to ABC when they broke of their engagement. It&amp;amp;#8217;s no wonder she&amp;amp;#8217;s spooked by ring boxes! I&amp;amp;#8217;m 100 percent not on Team Vienna&amp;amp;#8212;she&amp;amp;#8217;s way to manipulative for my taste!&amp;amp;#8212;but I think if Kasey wanted to gift her with jewelry, maybe he could&amp;amp;#8217;ve chosen a necklace or a bracelet and presented it in a non-ring-shaped box! What do you guys think of promise rings? Is giving a girl a promise ring a nice romantic gesture? Or should a guy hold off on ring-giving &amp;amp;#8217;til he&amp;amp;#8217;s ready to propose? And what do you think about Bachelor Pad?! p.s. The highlight of my Bachelor Pad watching was when host Chris Harrison re-tweeted a fan&amp;amp;#8217;s tweet that referred to the show as Slut Shack!
