On the night of the premier of this season's Bachelorette, I decided to make a blog post about every episode. I don't know how well this will go because I'm lazy and forget to do things. For example, I'm writing this four days after the premier...nothing is that fresh in my mind from Monday night. I do have notes from watching it "live" and I can go back and watch the episode again on ABC.com. So without further ado, here is my recap/opinion/babble about the Bachelorette.
DUN DUN DUN TADAAA:
If you didn't know (have been avoiding all social media, including the regular broadcast news), this seasons Bachelorette has finally begun on ABC. Like every past season of the Bachelorette, ABC brought back a "fan favorite" from a previous season (Sean "the Douche bag fame seeker's" seasson), Desiree Hartsock. Now I say "fan favorite" like that because I really wish Tiarra, Tianna...whatever the heck her name was was the new bachelorette. Just kidding. Desiree is a good choice...so far. She seems to have her head straight and knows what she wants, as far as I can tell from the first episode. We will revisit this later as the show progresses.
About the cast: (information gathered is from http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/bios)
THE BACHELORETTE:
Desiree Hartsock: 27, originally from Northglenn, Colorado. Bridal stylist. Love the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" for the personal journey and overcoming ones own obstacles. Wants a man that can be himself, be candid and goofy and can let things in their relationship happen naturally.
In the opening of the show, when Desiree was shown her house in Malibu, she was wearing a bright orange/red/coral dress. This color looked amazing on her and the cut was phenomenal. If she wears this color as well as bright blue and bight emerald green she will definitely catch the eye of an amazing fashion forward guy. Also, ABC gave her a car in which I am totally jealous of...a BENTLEY!!! in a beautiful Tiffany robins egg blue color...ugh I hate her already for the amazing clothes and the awesome car!!!!
Last for her...I want to give ABC props on hiding the makeup artist when Desiree was getting ready to meet the 25 men. The different nail color while doing her makeup from when she put on her earrings was a distinct give away. Not to say that these women on this show have never had a makeup artist do their makeup, because lets face it, not every woman knows how to do their makeup (watch YOUTUBE beauty gurus for tips ya'll).
Moving on...
THE BACHELORS:
The men that are on this season seem range from legit losers to a few major hotties!!! I won't go into deep detail about them...only the important stuff...ie their age, where they are from, job, height, how their intro to Desiree was, and who was hot!!!
- Ben (Tom Brady look alike): 28, Lubbock, TX, Entrepreneur, 6'2". Introduced himself with his son in tow. The son gave Desiree a flower and that "melted her heart"
- Brad: 27, Denver, CO, Accountant/DJ, 6'3". Introduced himself by bringing a wish bone for the two to wish with. Des got the bigger half.
- Brandon: 26, Costa Mesa, CA, Painting contractor, 6'1". Came in on a motorcycle. Des said he was "cute" as he walked into the house. He has a sad story...his dad left the family at 5 years of age and his mother is an addict. He was raised by his grandparent.
- Brian: 29, Olney, MD, Financial Advisor 6'2". All I remember from his introduction was that Des petted his jacket and said it was "soft"
- Brooks: 28, Salt Lake City, UT, Sales & Marketing, 6'4". Was very nervous, made it clear and mentioned it over and over again. He also needs a haircut. The long hair things is cute on some guys, but not him. I'm not into that.
- Bryden (LOVE HIS NAME): 26, Missoula, MT, Iragi War Vet, 6'1". Introduced himself by bringing up Sean's loss was his and all the other guys gains. -- I really like him...mainly for the fact that he has a German Shepherd that he says is his best friend and goes where he goes as long as dogs are allowed.
- Chris: 27, McMinnville, OR, Mortgage Broker, 6'4". Introduced but saying he had butterflies in his stomach, got down on one knee to ask if he could tie his shoe.
- Dan: 30, Dublin, CA, Beverage Sales Director, 6'0". Not remember-able at all. Even as I was watching, I couldn't recall what he did.
- Diogo: 29, Penha Brazil, Marketing manager, 5'10". This guy...haha...came out of the limo in a suit of armor. Des was shocked to say the least. When he went into the house she made an "eek" face.
- Drew: 27, Scottsdale, AZ, Digital Marketing Analyst, 6'2". He seemed very effeminate and nerdy, but cute. Des made the "mmmhhhmmm" noise as he walked away. -- Another sad story, has a handicapped sister that he helped raise and his parents are divorced.
- James: 27, Marietta, GA, Sales, 6'2". Was very adamant about loyalty.
- Jonathan (AKA Creeper): 26, Hickory, NC, Attorney, 6'1". Brought a card with the "fantasy suite" note inside. Kept trying to get Des to go into the "fantasy suite" that he created all night. CREEPER status.
- Juan Pablo (AKA MAJOR HUNK!): 31, Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Former Professional Soccer Player, 5'11". Had issues with Des being able to pronounce his name, but brought her some chocolate!!!
- Kasey: (AKA hashtag lover): 29, Tulsa OK, Advertising Executive, 6'4". Put everything he has to say as #blah blah, #so and so. Also has a crazy out of control right eyebrow. -- ALL I HAVE TO SAY is #weirdo!
- Larry: 34, Overland Park KS (Lives in CALI somewhere), ER Doctor, 5'10". Said that he loves to dance. Tried to so a spinning dip with Des, but her dress got caught on her shoe and ruined it. He cursed as he walked away to the house. He was obsessed with "messing up the dip all night"
- Micah: 32, Detroit Lakes, MN, Law Student, 5'11". Created his own suit because he knew she went to FIDM. Des said "I'll do the sewing".
- Michael G.: 33, Miami, FL, Federal Prosecutor, 6'2". Attempted to get Des' penny from Sean's season to have a re-do wish.
- Mike R.: 28, Dallas (grew up in England), Dental student/Model, 6'4". Wore his dental "white" jacket and said he could be her McDreamy or McSteamy. #Cheesy (tehehe)
- Mikey T.: 30, Glenn Ellyn, IL, Plumbing Contractor, 6'0". Brought up his family and how he is the oldest and can understand how her brother feels.
- Nick M.: 27, Rochester, NY, Investment Adviser, 6'1". Wrote Des a poem
- Nick R.: 26, Chicago, IL, Tailor/Magician, 5'9". Turned a napkin into a white rose. -- Seemed very shifty and a sleeze ball
- Robert: 30, Glendale, AZ, Advertising Entrepreneur, 6'2". Took tie off. -- In his video piece he stated that he invented the spinning sign job.
- Will: 28, Federal Way, WA, Banker, 6'3". Gave Des the nickname of Athena. He also had a weird stare towards her. -- In his video piece he does a kind of yoga that most people don't understand and he was overly friendly in a creepy way.
- Zack K.: 28, Phillips Ranch, CA, Book Publisher, 6'2". Wore his Converse Chuckie T's with his suit.
- Zak W.: Mico, TX, Drilling Fluid Engineer, 6'0". Came out of the limo shirtless and asked "will you accept these abs?" Des seemed impressed and said "DAMN" -- SO HOT!!! If he is not chosen I'm hunting him down!!!
OKAY...so there is the run down of the cast of this seasons Bachelorette.
This season also saw the return of the first impression rose during this first episode, because it was such a hit in Sean's season when he wanted to give roses out before the rose ceremony. Des gave the first rose to Ben. They seemed to have a good connection at first. The second rose went to Zak W. When he took Des for their talk he decided to strip down to his boxer briefs (yes ladies...and he looked yummy!!!) and jump into the pool. Bryden got the third rose (she was really taken aback from his Irgai story). Brandon also did something sweet, but strange on the first meeting, he gave Des a coin that his mom gave to him and told Des to hold on to it and that she can return it to his mom at their hometown date. The fourth rose was given to Drew. He was very giddy during their one on one chat time and seemed to be checking out her dress. The fifth rose...I can't recall who received it and I don't feel like watching the end...so yeah.
But to get the quickness here are the remaining men:
- Brandon
- Zack K.
- Will
- Brooks
- Juan Pablo
- Brad
- Kasey
- James
- Robert
- Brian
- Dan
- Chris
- Mikey
- Ben
- Zak W.
- Bryden
- Drew
- Nick M.
- Michael G.
We said good by to:
- Diogo
- Larry
- Nick R.
- Jonathan
- Micah
- Mike R.
As of right now my prediction as to who she is going to choose is...DREW. No rhyme or reason to it...it's just a feeling.
Check back next week for a recap/opinion/blabber about the new episode. I'll try and have it up sooner than this one. AND it won't be as long.
Leave your comments below of what you thought of the Premier and if there are any other shows you would like to me run down and give my blabber about.
Until next week, Stay Awesome!
Later Gators,
MEE
