The Bachelorette: Desiree’s Season
Photo: ABC/Angus Muir Ok, to start, what was up with ABC flying Catherine Giudici, Jackie Parr and Leslie Murphy all the way to Portugal just to peer at Desiree’s dudes through binoculars? They must have met the guys, grilled them and then ABC decided to edit that entire part out? Because the set-up was that … Read more
My apologies for not churning out a Penny Farthing recap last week for episode 5. My excuse is two-fold. First, I was on vacation in Rehoboth Beach, DE. But, second, the episode was *really* boring. Other than Bryden’s ridiculous decision to fly all the way to Munich only to up and leave and the amazing … Read more
Tonight Desiree Hartsock’s guys head to Barcelona, Spain for a lot of situational drama. Drew Kenney, gets the one-on-one tonight at last. Pre-date Drew perseverates on how to tell Desiree about James’ ulterior motives. “If there’s time to address the situation with James, we’ll get to it.” Oh there is ALWAYS time to “address a … Read more
Tonight 26-year-old Desiree Hartsock and her remaining guys take off to Germany. Bachelorette Desiree took Chris Siegfried on his first one-on-one. The two took a tour the city of Munich and arrive upon a personal impromptu private concert by Matt White. The real situation this week is Bryden Vukasin, the 26-year-old Iraq veteran who busts into … Read more
Bryden Vukasin, the 26-year-old Iraq veteran clearly becomes a situation next week. He claims he’s just not sure he’s “feelin’ it” with bachelorette Desiree, but it sounds awfully suspect especially considering there is an ex-girlfriend named Becky Weidow that posted a picture of the two together just before the show began filming. Desiree is clearly … Read more
Photo: ABC First, we have my Mom’s micro recap sent via text message: “Poor Brad — nice guy.” HAHA! Tonight’s first situation was Desiree’s entire 1 on 1 date with Brad McKinzie. The totally awkward, chemistry-less boardwalk / amusement park ride portion of the date was capped by the most awkward dinner date I’ve ever … Read more
After a light-hearted Mr. America group date, Desiree takes it down a notch by doing the classic natural-disaster-awareness-date. She does a little PR for FEMA by taking James Case on a tour of Hurricane Sandy with a sanctimonious Red-Cross representative. I hate it when The Bachelor engages in unsolicited tragedy exploitation. We get it — Sandy … Read more
We love it when The Bachelor and conspiracy collide into one GIANT Bachelor/conspiracy situation. Turns out Brooks Forester the 28-year-old Sales Representative/Mormon from Boise, ID/Salt Lake City, Utah has an interesting family history! His father Gary Forester, 72, claims he became an informant for the CIA and DEA in the current edition of The National … Read more
Ben Scott, 29 the 6’2″, charming, gregarious Bartender/single dad from Dallas/Lubbock, Texas has become the Courtney Robertson of The Bachelorette. Ben is rubbing the guys in the house the wrong way to put it mildly by not playing by the guy code. SIDE NOTE: Ben Scott dated Erica Larson, a contestant on NBC’s Ready for … Read more
So every season it seems there is someone (and this season it’s more than one) who appears maybe just a tad bit on the gay side. Not that that necessarily means anything, but we love to speculate anyway. In fact I think it would be absolutely a-mazing if a contestant came to the revelation that … Read more
