Bachelorette Des..........Week 1

Please pardon my disappearance, but life happens sometime.

But...what better way to start blogging again, but with the ever popular subject matter.


So, the Bachelorette has started and Desiree is the new Bachelorette.

Is she my favorite choice, no, but I still like her okay.

After seeing her 25 suitors........I honestly felt sorry for her.  I thought that there were more to send home than to keep.  (oops, maybe shouldn't have said that, even if it is true)

The 25 suitors:

  •  Drew 27 - Digital Marketing.  He looks sweet, was very nervous and kept talking about having butterflies.  Has very giddy laughs and lots of smiles. 
  • Brooks 28 - Marketing.  He was very nervous but seemed nice enough.  Didn't really get a real vibe of him yet to have a better opinion yet.
  • Brad 27 - Accountant.  Not really sure about him yet as the only thing that stood out was his intro out of the limo.  The wishbone was cute.  He gets an "E" for effort at least.
  • Bryden 26 - Iraq Veteran (Army).  Okay, so I know that I'm partial to military men, but I really liked this guy.  He seems like a very sweet, yet quiet guy.  I agree with Des.......he is adorable.
  • Michael G 33 - Federal Prosecutor - Kind of a cute intro with trying to find Des' penny in the fountain.  However, I did find myself wishing he'd fall in..........that would have been funny. lol
  • Kasey 29 - Advertising executive.  I call this guy "Hashtag guy".  He reminds me of a cartoon character with his cheesy grin and his arched eyebrows, but Oh my goodness......he was driving me crazy with all his #craziness.  He told Des, that she was #marriagematerial and #letthejourneybegin.  Please Des.......if he keeps it up, #SENDHIMHOME!!!!!!
  • Will 28 - Banker.  He seems interesting.........he does yoga and high fives complete strangers on the street.  I will say he's friendly.  However, I think he should have spent more time on his intro out of the limo.  Telling Des that she was a goddess and he'd give her the name Athena.  I kind of felt like I was watching Survivor again with Phillip assigning names for the "Stealth R Us" team again. lol
  • Mikey T 30 - Plumbing Contractor - Didn't really get to know him much.  However, thought he was sweet with his "family knows best".  
  • Jonathan 26 - Lawyer.  All I can say is WOW.  Dude, I really hope that you still have a job.  I'm not sure if maybe he was drunk or what.......but I can truly see why his "lovetank has not been completed for years".  I call him the "Fantasy Suite Creep".  He told Des that he has no filter and I believe he proved that to the rest of the world.  
  • Zak W 31 - Drilling Engineer.  Well, have to say that he loves his body. lol  Showing up shirtless.....risky move, however even riskier was stripping to his underwear and jumping in the pool.  He was very nice looking and I believe that Des "will accept those abs".
  • James 27 - Advertising. Intro line......"loyalty is love".  Seems like he's nice, but not sure about him.
  • Larry 34 - ER doctor.  This guy gave me the creeps.  I think I'd be scared if I was in the ER and he was on duty.  His intro was an awkward dance & dip that ended with Des being all tangled in her dress.  Then the one on one talk was not much better....as Des didn't even remember the awkward dance til he mentioned it and then I felt like crickets should be chirping during their "talk".  Guess Des thought it was awkward too as she asked him "Are you sleepy?"......actually Des, I think Dopey would have been better.  (No insult intended to my fave dwarf...Dopey)
  • Nick R 26 - Tailor/Magician.  I can't even put into words my thoughts on this guy.  My sister said that he reminded her of the boss in the movie "13 going on 30".  I kind of agree.  His intro was different by lighting a paper rose (I guess that's what it was) and turning it into a white rose.  However, the rest of his tricks went down in flames.
  • Zack K 28 - Book Publisher.  Only thing that stood out with him was that he wore a tux with tennis shoes.  Don't really know much else about him.
  • Diogo 29 - Ski Resort Manager.  Bless his heart.  He showed up in a suit of armor.  Nice try, I guess.  Seems to be a nice guy......the little bit we saw of him.
  • Chris 27 - Mortgage Broker. I liked this guy.  He is cute and seems to have a good sense of humor.  Great intro with him getting down on one knee and asking Des if he can tie his shoe. 
  • Mike R 27 - Dental Student.  I think someone should tell him that people really don't like going to the dentist, so showing up dressed like one will probably not make an awesome first impression.  I agree with him though, if he had a British accent he probably would have gone farther.
  • Robert 30 - Advertising.  Oh yes, the sign spinning guy.  Just think if we put him and the hashtag guy together what an awesome pair that would be.  Not really sure of my thoughts on him yet.  At least he doesn't annoy me..........YET.
  • Juan Pablo 31 - Former Pro Soccer Player.  Must say.......cutie!!!  And oh my, when he talks.......love the accent.  Des called him "a dream of a man".  Hmmm I think she may like him. :)
  • Brandon 26 - Painting Contractor. Showed up for his intro on a motorcycle..........cute.  Thought it was sweet that he gave Des his mother's 7 years sober coin.  Hope he'll make it to the hometown dates so that his mom can get it back.
  • Brian 29 - Financial Advisor.  Yep.......have nothing to say about him.
  • Micah 32 - Law Student.  Oh here is another Bless his heart.  I think he thought designing his outfit was a good idea for a first impression, however it was a flop.  Prob was a cute guy if he didn't look like such a dork.
  • Nick M 27 - Investment Advisor.  Wrote Des a poem.  Wasn't blown away by it, but nice gesture.  That's all I have on him.
  • Dan 30 - Beverage Sales Director.  Nothing to report on him either.
  • Ben 28 - Entrepreneur.  Definitely wins the cute intro award by using Brody.  Brownie points given for that.  However, I'm wondering now if that's really his son.......Liked him at first, but now I'm wondering if it's all an act.  Didn't like how he was trying to give the other guy's advice after he got the first rose.

So who went home deflated:
  • Jonathan - didn't even make it to the rose ceremony.  Des sent him home before then. Guess his lovetank will stay full awhile longer. lol
  • Micah - next time come in store bought clothes
  • Diogo - seems like a nice guy.  Lose the armor though.
  • Mike R- Sorry, but "McDreamy" was not a dentist.
  • Nick R - Cool it on the magic tricks.
  • Larry - Needs to get some rest and some dance lessons too.
That's all my thoughts for this week.  Stay tuned and I'll keep you posted for the rest of the season.

Hope you enjoy!
