The Bachelorette - Desiree
The current season of the Bachelorette starting Everyone's Favorite Girl Next Door - Desiree Hartsock!
Eliminated
Still Hustling for the Rose
Strength
As a DJ/Accountant, he's got a great left brain-right brain combo.
Weakness
He doesn't like to read books, and he can't seem to think long enough to play chess. He might have a short attention span.
Wildcard
Almost every answer seems perfect... too perfect...
Updates:
Ben brought his son Brody out of the limo and looked initially like he could be a charmer. But the previews at the end of the first episode left it looking like he might be this season's trouble maker! Was the kid just a cute ploy and deep down he's just a player? I'm thinking so.
Strength
He's a southern gentleman who likes to dress up.
Weakness
His questionaire left us thinking he might have ADD.
Wildcard
This all-American has a hidden tattoo...
Strength
We can tell this nice young gentleman is brains and brawn. His native Minnesota has given him plenty of opportunites to hone his outdoorsy, sporty side (listen to this roster of activities: wakeboarding, snowboarding, baseball, skiing, biking, dirt biking, and surfing! Oh wait, we missed one: Golf.) Not to mention his pretty dead-on desert island picks- 'vitamins, water, and Bear Grylls'.
Weakness
It's hard to say right now. None? (this blogger wonders if she has a crush).
Wildcard
He's got a need for speed! Take me on a ride in your Lambo, Brando.
Strength
Hes a man of few words, maybe he's got some tricks up his sleeve?
Weakness
He's a wet blanket: loves family, happiness, and saying respectful things.
Wildcard
Based on his formulaic answers, Brian very well could be a robot...We can't wait for him to ask for Des's IP number
Strength
He's mysterious.
Weakness
You just can't pin him down.
Wildcard
I can't read any of his handwriting so we know nothing about him and he is TRULY a wildcard.
Strength
This veteran wears his colors and his heart on his sleeve.
Weakness
Might he be intimidated by an assertive woman?
Wildcard
His ideal mate has 'dark hair, nice teeth, good skin'....how convenient.
Updates:
Chris was given The Final Rose by Desiree and proposed to her on the spot! During the proposal she interrupted him once to explain about Brooks and how she was wrong all along and he was what she was actually looking for! They appeared happy on the After the Final Rose Ceremony.
Strength
This sporty bachelor has a taste for travel and adventure.
Weakness
As a former professional athlete, will his competitive drive land him in the penalty box?
Wildcard
His secret book of poems is bound to surface, or will he pen Des an original?
Strength
Dan is poetic straight out of the gate. He mentions his lonesome world travels (cry me a river...) and his desire to share these experiences with his future wife. Oh! And he likes street art! And Da Vinci. Cover all those bases.
Weakness
Some of his answers give us the sense he's a bit of a loner...his favorite part of Thanksgiving is that he takes an extra three days off to travel? No mention of family in there.
Wildcard
With all that travel under his belt, he knows another language and can show off on a travel date.
Updates:
Good-knight, Diogo...
Strength
He will lay it on the line for romance.
Weakness
Idolizes Hollywood pretty boys Mayer, Gosling and Efron. Will Des give him Di-no-go?
Wildcard
Aspires to turn Brazil around in a day...can he turn around Des's heart?
Strength
He's a thoughtful, sporty guy with a quick wit.
Weakness
He nails every answer and has perfect teeth to boot! What's he hiding behind those pearly whites?
Wildcard
If 'Ants Marching' isn't on Desirees playlist, it'll leave her wondering, 'Where are you going.'
Updates:
What if she get's fat, James? ... What if she does?
Strength
We think this muscle man is just a softie at heart.
Weakness
Can you spell neat-freak?
Wildcard
James speaks his mind and is looking to make friends...we'll see how charming the other guys think he is.
Strength
This young attorney is laid back and ready for fun.
Weakness
Does he have enough depth to keep Des interested?
Wildcard
This cliff jumper clearly loves an addrenaline rush. Will he and Des reach new heights together?
Updates:
Wow! Didn't see this coming. He seems to have Desiree entranced with his every move. What will last longer: his time on the show with Desiree or the hair on his neck before he shaves?
Strength
Hello, neck beard! Is this a cool look in Venezuela? Sorry, we had to get that out.
Weakness
There are a couple red flags here. He doesn't read, he would either do anything or nothing for love (answer left blank), and he seems like a serious club kid. Lo siento, Don Juan.
Wildcard
DID WE MENTION THE NECK BEARD?
Strength
He is a go getting adventurer who knows what he wants.
Weakness
He flaunts his connections for the world to see. Would Des become a trophy wife?
Wildcard
His dad was a Dodger, his brother in-law was nominated for 2 grammies, his bestie is in the NBA - what celebrity will show up at hometowns?!
Strength
34 and a doctor -- hes an established man.
Weakness
No guesswork needed -- ego, shame (WTF!?), poor communicator.
Wildcard
Larry, you can only go up from here
Strength
This midwestern smartie likes cool, spunky, and adventure, dontchaknow?
Weakness
He might take you on a two hour date at Costco....Snooze, aisle 6.
Wildcard
He once bought a girl a ring after one week of dating...we can't wait to see what his impulsive side will do next.
Strength
Michael G is a smart cookie who has accomplished a lot, and knows exactly what he wants.
Weakness
His OCD and professional drive might intimidate the other bachelors, not to mention Des.
Wildcard
He's a fearless, driven romantic. What lengths will he go to in the house to win her attention?
Strength
Mike R. has a good head on his shoulders and a great set of pearly whites. He's open-minded, casual, and even has a little mischevious side (sex in public on a military base? First of all why? Second of all, you go Glen Coco).
Weakness
He has trouble seeing the bigger picture.
Wildcard
He's British AND he has nice teeth??!!?
Strength
Strength.
Weakness
Liar. House music, Stallone, impecably tanned? Clearly hes from New Jersey.
Wildcard
Can Desiree be his one guidette?
Strength
His love of warm weather, hiking and patchy Spanish skills could easily move him to CA to be with Des.
Weakness
Least favorite date is hanging out with her friends...
Wildcard
He and Desiree will share their first trip to romantic Europe together
Strength
He's a tailor by day and magician by night - ready to style and hypnotize you.
Weakness
A self-proclaimed mama's boy is always a red flag.
Wildcard
Formerly owned a DJ business for 10 years, we're ready to watch him turn our tables...
Updates:
Has a baby face ... does NOT have a baby body - Wow!
Strength
Robert seems like a total sweetie who loves kids and family values.
Weakness
He talks about his ex... a LOT!
Wildcard
He's got big ideas on romance. What extravagent gesture will he make?
Strength
Will is bringing it 'Big Willy Style' in more ways than one. Not only is he actually massive (6'3 with a size 13 shoe), he is a banker, an avid weight lifter, and an actual Will Smith fanboy. Oh and Des, don't worry, this class act is NOT a meth head.
Weakness
His favorite types of music are house, deep house, and tech house. Raise the roof.
Wildcard
He believes he can fly. The question is: is he fly enough to win Desiree's heart?
Strength
Zack K is an all American guy. Who can turn down golden retrievers, family vacations, and a baseball star?
Weakness
28 years old with a an ex girlfriend of 6 years? Is he ready for this rela-Sean-ship?
Wildcard
Hes a blue-eyed bookworm -- will Desiree get a good read?
Updates:
Desiree's decision to give him a rose is ABSolutely astounding, what footage was ABSent that showed us why he deserved to stay, he had done nothing...
Strength
He's cultured and creative with a definite fun-loving side ('Nopers!')
Weakness
Are his high-brow tastes too much for down-to-earth Des?
Wildcard
He owns a giant crab costume. No shame in that game.
