Episode 1 (Premiere) - 5/27 - The Bachelorette 9 - Discussion

It's getting closer!  

It's ok to talk about the elimination for this episode after the show has aired. It's ok to speculate, but PLEASE do not post any Reality Steve type spoilers. We don't want to know who Des picks.

Welcome crackingb and bheart. Hope you join in on the fun.

I loved that she sent the guy home that kept trying to set up a fantasy suite!

Did not like Juan Pablo either.....seems like an arrogant show off.

Well I can see where Jonathan's comment of least favorite things on a date is getting slapped in the face. Not hard to understand where that probably came from - probably a lot of experience in that department.

I don't think there are as many hunks there as first thought, some were a disappointment to me seeing them in person. What was with Zack wearing a bow tie and unattractive tennis shoes? I guess I'm just getting too old!

Overall I agree with you USN on her opening segment it will be interesting to see how it goes in the next few segments.

Rein I agree with you on Juan Pablo or whatever his name is, wasn't impressed with him at all. There were some disappointments there for sure.

Well gee USN who wears ugly sneakers with a tux? No wonder I was confused - LOL. I will say some sure looked better in their pictures than in real life. I though Michael looked better in his head shot on the bachelorette than he did in person but his personality maybe okay - will have to wait and see on quite a few of them. From what I saw tonight all that talk about the hunkiest or sexiest men yet seems like just more hype to me. I can say there were not that many standouts to me. Thank goodness I still like two that were on my early favorites but neither one of them got much screen time tonight. Oh well, what's new!

I don't know why this is.. I guess I like people to be more casual... but in all the seasons of the 'ette and bach, I have always thought they looked better the next week in normal clothes.

I hope you are right grace because I was a little disappointed tonight in what I saw with the exception of one that was a bit to casual for event. Go figure that he would get an early rose! I'm wondering if he is some kind of exhibitionist or something - standing out on his deck in his birthday suit, getting out of the limo half dressed and then stripping down to his skivvies in front of god and everyone to jump in the pool when it was supposed to be a get acquainted event. I am beginning to wonder just what Des is looking for in a future husband.

She may have been instructed to keep him. I wouldn't have done so, if given a choice.

I think Drew is very attractive.

That was my thought. He is still there because the producers think he has entertainment value. He probably won't last long.

I think Drew is adorable. So what did you all think of Brooks? There is something about him that just bugs me (at this point anyway)? I must say, someone who was not on my first list was Bryden, but after seeing the previews I think I just might like him.
