Thanks. I will try to make it over here more often. The abc board is pretty slow for it being show day. Probably because it's a holiday?

LOVE DEVELOPS ATOP THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN, SOULJA BOY TEAMS WITH DESIREE AND THE BACHELORS FOR A ROCKIN' RAP MUSIC VIDEO, AND SOME OF THE MEN DISPLAY THEIR VULNERABILITY IN THE RACE FOR ROSES, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELORETTE"

R&B Pop-Rock Singer Andy Grammer Performs in a VIP Private Concert Sparks Fly Between the 19 Remaining Men as They Jockey for Desiree's Time and Attention

"Episode 902" - A bridal shop provides the unlikely backdrop for Desiree's first one-on-one date with the tall, dark and handsome Brooks; rap superstar Soulja Boy carefully crafts an aptly named rap music video - "Right Reasons" - using Desiree and a group of slick bachelors; and Bryden is treated to a scenic, romantic road trip up the beautiful California coast. But some of the men are already fighting for Desiree's love and nearly come to blows. After careful deliberation, three men are sent packing as the Bachelorette attempts to make her fairytale come true, on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JUNE 3 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. Brooks is ecstatic when he gets the first date of the season, complete with Desiree driving them through the streets of Los Angeles in her baby blue Bentley. Making their first stop at a bridal shop, Desiree tries on lavish wedding gowns while Brooks looks dapper in a number of tuxedos. That is just the beginning of the whimsical date, as the Bachelorette decides that they should remain dressed like the top of a wedding cake throughout the date. After a quick stop at a cupcake truck, it's up to an exclusive seat high atop the world-famous Hollywood sign, which is celebrating its 90th year. For first time ever, a platform is built on the letter "L" for the couple to share their time together there. Over a romantic dinner, Brooks gets emotional as he shares unpleasant details of his parents' divorce. But the evening ends on a hot note when the couple share a first kiss as they slow dance at a private concert by singer-songwriter Andy Grammer. Will passion be enough to get Brooks a rose? The next day 14 men join Desiree at a swank Malibu mansion to star in a rap music video appropriately titled "Right Reasons" with superstar rapper Soulja Boy. He carefully selects his rapping protŽgŽs to each play the part of an infamous man from past seasons. There's Wes from Jillian Harris' season, Justin and Kasey from Ali's season, and one bachelor even reprises Jason Mesnick's legendary tearful collapse. Desiree gets into the act, rapping about her journey to find the perfect man. However at the after party the competition heats up, with Ben interrupting Mikey's alone time with the Bachelorette, sparking the first confrontation of the season. Meanwhile, Brandon opens up about his tragic broken childhood. Will displaying his deep vulnerability earn him the group date rose or will it be a turn-off? Bryden nets the last individual date this week and a scenic road trip up the California coast that takes them to their final destination, the posh Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. At an intimate dinner, Desiree's date relates a story about an accident that changed his life forever. The evening ends in a steamy hot tub with some passionate kisses, but will Desiree need more than this macho man has to offer? At a tense, pressure-packed cocktail party, the men battle each other for time with Desiree before she makes her decisions, and two come close to duking it out. Meanwhile, another bachelor tries to reassure Desiree that he's ready to spend the rest of his life with her even though he had some problems with his last relationship. At the end of the night after a dramatic rose ceremony, 16 men will be left to vie for Desiree's heart.

You are welcome newto and rein, sometimes I wonder if anyone even looks at this thread. I'm glad some of you at least have and rein I agree that little boy is so adorable and very well behaved.

I look at it too SLA. Let me add my thanks to those people above who already offered it. You certainly DO put MAJOR effort into finding this stuff and then sharing it. The only thing is that I am always afraid that i will run into a spoiler somehow. When I read the interview with Des on the previus page, at first, not having seen the show yet, I thought that Jonathan was one of the F3 guys as it mentioned Fantasy Suite. I had no idea that he pulled that stunt on the first night. I guess I should have trusted thatyou read everything before you post it and thatyou would have posted the word "SPOILER" if it contained one.

Thank you for all your hard work. Please don't fell that you have to do it if there ever is a day that you are not up to it. You come first.
