A variation on my favorite stupidity defense

For example, I believed Paigow when she said she was playing with "classy," but not because of her lengthy explanation, which smacked of protesting too much (becausethe "I was kidding" or "it was deliberate" or "you have fallen into my trap" response seems like a post-hoc thing even when it's not). I'm sensitive to it because it's not uncommon that people don't realize that I'm being facetious. Not just here, where it's to be expected because it ruins the fun if you point out the joke as you're making it, but IRL, too.
No comprendo. Translation?

And speaking of classy, did anyone else groan at the site of the gal in the besequined tricolor tank top explaining that one of the attirbutes she has that the Bacnelor might enjoy is that she is classy? Let me be the first to say that, like with attractiveness, if you have to explian you are "classy", you probably (to use the WAY overused cliche post hoc explanatino for why you drew a conclusion) "Doth Protest Too Much".

And barely- why were you so convniced that this Bachelor is a total asshole? I dont see it. Is it a conclusion you drew based on the fact that he comes from an upper crust family? He actually seems like a relatively nice guy. Of course I always question how much of the things he has to say about shit like, my wife is in this room is actually scripted. Like, its safe to say, he could do better than 98% of these chicks (those I like kirsten and that Tina from Tennessee I think so far, aand Liz seems like a decent human being)
