Bristol Palin is just unlucky in love. But while it was easy to blame her first failed romance on the sleazy Levi Johnston, this time she looks like the bad guy.
On the latest episode of Life's a Tripp, she takes a road trip with her son and boyfriend Gino to visit sister Willow in Arizona. From the moment they arrive, it's clear Bristol has lost that lovin' feeling.
Rolling her eyes at just about everything the guy does, she tells Willow, "I don't trust him." Apparently Gino has "done stuff," she says. I assume that means he cheated with other girls. Bristol also admits she hasn't exactly been an angel in their relationship either. From there, things go downhill and fast.
As they all drive to the Grand Canyon, the feisty teen mom is annoyed at just about everything Gino says and does -- including the way he chews -- and she kicks him out of the car at a gas station along the highway. He's left to fend for himself with no means to transportation and eventually books a flight and calls a cab.
Now, he may be a bad boyfriend and unworthy of her love. That is for her ultimately to decide. But you don't abandon someone in the middle of nowhere. That is just not cool. Especially over something as trivial as him getting on your nerves. That's a real BITCHY move, Bristol.
The saddest part of the whole drama though was how it affected Tripp. As she tossed Gino from the car, the little guy was begging for her to let Gino, who he calls daddy, stay. "I'll find you a good daddy," she says. But Tripp shouts back, "I don't want a good daddy." My heart just broke for him. Gino too. Left shocked and alone, he cries thinking about what a breakup will do to the toddler: "I am going to miss Tripp. I feel like he's my own kid. Nothing I can do because he's not my kid."
It's unclear whether Bristol and Gino are done for good. For the first time since the show started, I am actually excited to see what happens next week.
Do you think Bristol was wrong for abandoning Gino in the middle of nowhere?

What kind of trashy mother has her kid calling her boyfriends "daddy"? And tells her kid things like, "I'll find you a good daddy...". Bristol's son already has a daddy, and the time to find him a "good" daddy was before he was conceived. Now, that ship has sailed. And this isn't about maturity; its about character. Where'd Bristol learn all these great family values? I feel sorry for that kid. With parents and grandparents who lack integrity and good character, he will be lucky if he ever attains any real happiness in his lifetime.
she is wrong for bringing a guy around her kid in what seems like an unsteady relationship. And to call have her son calling him daddy? That is just careless of Bristol. I didn't let my kids call my husband daddy until I was for sure there was not going to work out. And they have been calling him daddy since.
I happened upon this set of episodes this evening and it is the second time I have seen this show and I can honestly say...i can't stand Bristol. It is quite possible I dislike her more than her mother. She manipulates little Tripp, whines, complains and in general acts like a spoiled brat. I won't be watching again, even in morbid curiousity. Better for her to leave stardom behind and go find herself a series of men to help take care of her child....
I did not and do not watch the show. My comments are based solely upon the above article.
Bristol, grow up, girl! Dumping traveling a companion whom you supposedly care(ed) about out in the middle of no where - at a gas station - is beyond the pale. It shows a marked lack of integrity and empathy on your end - not to mention marks you as a *itch of the first order. What is wrong with you, girl? And to do that in front of a small child? YOUR child - whom you are supposed to protect and teach good values to? What lesson do you think Tripp took away from that experience? ohmigosh - your behavior sickens me.
