First thing I thought -- thanks for letting me know before I became emotionally invested. Usually it takes 4 or 5 dates before the baggage starts to reveal itself.

I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed Love Tank Guy. Outside of that, this is the worst cast ever. You can pick the top 5 just by the inital walkup.

Other than a bukkake scene, I doubt there will be much to make me look up from my Words with Friends game while my wife watches this. Occasionally they give you a pathetic character like that dude who kept singing to the girl and saying "I'm going to guard and protect your heart" and was left to die on the glacier. Those guys are fun to laugh at. Or better yet, the guy who is there "for the wrong reasons".

I think that happened about season 2 out of 27. Everything is pretty much produced. Obviously. I know his intro was going to be something pretty tame originally.
Funny think is, Zak makes it to the final 4 according to Reality Steve. So I assume the schtick gets toned down a bit.

speaking of Kasey:
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Kasey Kahl, a former contestant on TV's "The Bachelorette," has been sentenced to three years of probation and community service in connection with a fight outside a California bar.
The Fresno Bee reports (http://bit.ly/154kY2y) Kahl was sentenced Tuesday in a Fresno County courtroom.
The 30-year-old Kahl pleaded no contest to a felony assault charge in March as part of a plea deal that saw another assault charge dropped. He was accused of breaking a man's nose and hitting the man's girlfriend during a fight in the early morning hours of Jan. 15, 2012, at Club Habanos in Fresno.
Kahl's lawyer, Gerald Schwab, says Kahl could get the charge expunged if he follows the sentencing rules.

I'll bet he gets ridiculed mercilessly whenever he goes to a bar. I would pay money to be present when it happens.

That was some of the rapiest rapey guys I've ever seen.
And Battles, I know you know Zak and I'm sure he's pure shtick here, but my god man, if you're going to be crazy shirtless guy and jump into the pool, you absolutely HAVE to jump in utilizing a front flip, gainer, side pose or at the very least, a giant can-opener. That was the gayest entry into a swimming pool since Greg Loughenis hung it up.

Totally agree. Supposedly she requested a cannonball. Not my type of lady if that's the case.

I go spoiler free, myself. I like to see how close I can get on my own. Problem is, there's usually only like six viable humans in the bunch, and even those guys whittle down to about three pretty fast. One day my idea of speed Bachelor will be licensed, along with about three dozen other sure-fire ideas already in the hopper.

I just started watching the last episode. Got through the bachelor intros. One one them looks like a ventriloquist's dummy. I think he's named Rob. And Zak... WTF?!
I have problem staying focused during the meet and greet because something made me stare at Desiree's neck. Am I seeing things or does she have an Adam's apple?

I get that its a major double standard, but I just think its really weird seeing one girl make out with like 10 different dudes.
Watched the first episode, but I don't think I'll be able to stick with it. Its creepy and the lack of girl drama really hurts. A bunch of dudes getting all worked up over 1 girl doesn't make any sense at all.

No, I know you do your own work, but to the extent you find Spoiler Steve level stuff, at least warn me. I don't have much in life, but....well....I don't have much in life.
When your Bachelor patents pass, put them in your little blog please.

Exactly, this is why the show has never really worked. In real life a couple dudes would be really into her, and they'd flip a coin. The rest of the time would be spent by the pool, drinking beer and playing frisbee.

Yes. When Harrison was like "what do you think so far? And that was just the first 15 guys!" I thought it was possible she'd punch him in the mouth.
Comical, as that's the exactly what my wife and I were discussing when Harrison said that. Des had to be thinking, "my God, there's only 10 possible candidates left!" She got royally screwed with this crew of 25 knuckleheads. The only possibilities I can think of off the top of my head are "guy that brought his four year old," "war vet guy, "I've had a rough life and my mom is sober guy," and maybe one or two others that didn't stand out much. Tough break for a likeable gal.

Here's the thing with discussing The Bachelorette franchise: We're straight dudes (mostly). It's virtually impossible for us to find attractive qualities and we are naturally predisposed to find flaws with other men. It's what we did when we were out courting broads..."She likes HIM? HIM? He has no pigment and has the body of a snowman". You give us 25 relatively attractive gals and unless they have Burt Reynolds mustache or butt the size of Wyoming, we'll find something positive to say about every one of them. Hell, we all forgave a woman with a flipper for an arm. "Hey, other than the one arm thing, she's banging hot!"
But no...these guys? "These guys suck out loud! What a bunch of dorks ABC gave her. She should just send them all home and take pint-sized Chris Harrison to the fantasy suite." Remember this: ONE of these guys will be the next Bachelor. So we may find them all distasteful, talentless or rapey, but in a year's time - maybe less - one of these guys will be on the cover of every gawd damn mindless magazine at the check out lines of every store across the country. America WILL lionize and fawn over one of these dorks. Finding that guy now is almost as interesting as finding the guy Dez will break-up with before season wrap-up show ever airs.

Gotta say...She's aggressive. I thought we were headed down the road to Awkwardville on her 2nd 1-on-1 with the military guy. He clearly had no clue what to say in the pool. I always hate how many dates end in those awkward moments, so I give her props for helping the guy out. She just broke the ice for him and then practically ate his face.

Obi-Wan reference?I am not watching this season. I liked Emily, so I watched, but I do not much like Desiree, so I will skip a bunch of dudes fawning over her. I still wish they had gone with Lesley (sp?), the leggy, brainy babe from Arkansas with the unreal kickin' body.

Yeah, the ABC updated, modernization of the word "Amazing" to "UH......MAZING" needs to die.
If Mr. Ham ever wanted to feel better about his rapping career, he should DVR and watch this episode a handful of times.
"I think I talk about my son too much"....Ya think? Dude, you are in love with your son. It's....weird. And he's about on the far right of the end-scale for being cute. They aren't adorable when they are 6+, trust me. I have two of them. Milk it now, creep.
The only confrontation scene in TV/Movies that sucked harder and louder than the confrontation between Father of the Year and Dildo King was that scene between Adam Sandler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Punch Drunk Love. That was weak, boys.
Starting to understand why Brtyon enlisted.
I'm going to guess the Ivy's were out?I want to be the guy at ABC that coaches the losers on their exit interviews. "Alright, Deuce...look at the camera and talk about how much it hurts, wonder if you'll ever find true love and then you have two options: look straight down at your shoes or 90 degrees to your right for a pregnant pause before looking back and sighing like your exhaling during a routine physical."

This season is terrible. Every guy is a boring, uninteresting tool. A ##### chill inducing rap video in the second episode? Drama out of nowhere (what did that Ben guy do to originally spark so much vitriol)???
I don't normally subscribe to PUA nonsense, but it's really unnerving seeing all these guys collectively putting the ##### on a pedestal like they do. It's an inherent flaw in the Bachelorette that drives me nuts.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but this comedian/radio producer in Buffalo does recaps of every show and they're hilarious. His name is Greg Bauch and he produces the Schopp & The Bulldog show here. Anyway, here's the latest: http://www.trendingbuffalo.com/life/bachelorette-recap-love-is-like-a-soulja-boy-video/

Something interesting happened while the wife and I were watching this last night. It was right when Dez and the guy were up on the Hollywood sign.Me: I have an idea. Let's delete this and never watch this show ever again.Wife: Hmmmmm..............okay, yeah, let's watch something else.

I'm waiting for a Bachelor/Bachelorette to institute a rule. Whomever does will instantly become the G-O-A-T in my eyes.
Suggested Rule - Have a timer - for effect, something cool, like THIS, which could also get marketing $ for the show. Guy/girl with rose picks another contestant to have time with Bachelor/ette and starts timer. Contestant gets 1-on-1 time until timer goes off, at which point he/she gets to pick the next contestant to have time. This solves 2 problems. They know how much time they have, so they wrap up the awkwardness quicker, and douches like Ben and Tierra from last season will have to learn to play nice or never get 1-on-1 time.
