So...wasn't there a FBG who said Zak was his brother in law? Well, now Zak made it to final 4 and family visits and this is public knowledge. Which raises the next, more important, question - will a FBG be making an appearance on this special journey? :o

 
I have an in-law that is about to be on the new Bachelorette season. They start filming in the beginning of March and it ends the beginning of May. Supposedly airs this summer. :wheelhouse:
Which one is he?
Zak, the shirtless one. The schtick level was on high and encouraged by the show.
I expect a jumping the shark episode any day now.
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.

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.
Funny think is, Zak makes it to the final 4 according to Reality Steve. So I assume the schtick gets toned down a bit.
:popcorn:

What an awful season, and I just found out bachelor pad won't be on this summer. WTF.

Des just isn't good looking or entertaining.
Dez is boring, but lets be real, she is very good looking. She's like a taller Katie Holmes. Solid 9 imo.
Completely disagree. I can't get past the teeth and weird bows in the legs. The professional make up and hair does help a bit. I thought the Lesley girl would have been a much much better choice.

They are my wife's cousins. No tv appearances happening.

How similar is Zak in real life to how he appears on the show.

FWIW, he's the only guy who is remotely interesting left on the show, and has been since she cut Juan Pablo. The rest are sticks in the mud.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
First, I love that you had to edit your post. Needed to add another "O"?

Second, Completely agree...The main reason I watch Bachelor/ette is as the set-up for Bachelor Pad. After last season's fantastic ending, why they wouldn't do another season is beyond me...I guess it's not scripted enough for the producers.

Pretty similar.

As I said earlier in the thread, the producers add a bit of schtick, but he's one that would be totally okay with doing the crazy stuff...i.e. naked on the balcony, shirtless intro, etc. Definitely a free spirit as the show portrays. I haven't reconciled everything I hear and see. Ibiza partying/naked stuff versus thinking about being a Catholic priest/etc, but I guess being all over the place is kinda part of being a free spirit. He's very personable and friendly. He got along with most of the cast (Juan Pablo was his closest cast friend), which shows by not being involved in the drama.

I guess the next bachelor is down to Drew and him. I think he'd make a good bachelor, but I can see how this year's show is horrid and that they may go outside the cast.

 
If Drew is the next Bachelor, he'll be picking from 25 dudes imo. I'd love to see Zak get the gig.

FYI, the Pad was nixed for this summer a long time ago. It may come back next year though, it isn't forever dead from what I read.

Had to add the bolding. I'm not that invested in whether he thinks Des is attractive.

Spoiler for this season

 
Can we PLEASE use spoiler tags? TIA.

Also, I haven't been following too closely, but one of those final four is screaming gay, no? The one who lost in the go-kart race? Does Dez just not have any gaydar at all?

I thought that Zack was a complete joke at first, but his ability to make her laugh during the art lessons is a huge factor in her decision to keep him around. You can never underestimate the ability to make a girl laugh during any setting and he's got that ability in droves. The other guys are complete zeros in personality. Brooks may be the a panty pudding maker but he's about as exciting as an Iowa cornfield.

 
Yeah, thats why I didn't quote you.

FWIW, you're wife at bad, but she doesn't remotely put you in a position to deny the hottness of Dez.

 
She just doesn't do it for me, there were several better looking women her season. Not nearly hot enough to be the bachelorette imo.

Zak is the only one that could make a good (i.e., not Ben- or Sean-esque) bachelor. Could be a fun season.

Apparently, I find Iowa cornfields very exciting.

Drew looks just like a guy I dated about ten years ago. :oldunsure: Definitely gay, though.

Also, it's nutty to think Desiree isn't attractive. I think she's stunning but did like her better before they tarted her up this season, though.

Desiree =

8: One of the hotter women at the club, one of the hotter girls at school (upper class of hot women)

ETA: she's skewing more towards 7.5 than she is 8.5 though.

I enjoyed seeing Jackie's return in a bikini last night. Definitely not enough air time on last season's Bachelor.

Really? Have you completely forgotten Meredith Phillips, DeAnna Pappas and Ashely Hebert???
And Jennifer Schefft was no trip to Hollywood.
Please tell me you looked these names up. Please?
Yeah, my search history is rather embarrassing today....well, more than normal. :bag:

I've seen the seasons w/Ashley, Emily, and this season, along with Brad, Ben, and Sean for the Bachelor. I'd put Ashley a small notch ahead of Desiree.
Well, again...I think you'd be in the minority with that opinion. Not only is Dez more attractive than Ashely (and you talk about weird, misshaped bodies) but she has a much better personality and demeanor. At least from what I can tell through the TV.

Did Dez give you the herp or something? You seem awfully dug into this point in the face of overwhelming testimony to the contrary.

 
About 3 weeks ago I was out at a downtown bar/restaurant (D'town Milwaukee) and there was a girl there I SWORE was Ashley Hebert. For about 20 minutes I kept looking at her because she looked so familiar, but I couldn't pinpoint where I knew her from and then all of the sudden it hit me. I approached her with Ashley pic up on my phone and asked if she knew that woman. She laughed and said I wasn't the first to ask..but, confirmed it wasn't her. Absolute spitting image. If she wouldn't have shown me her driver's license as proof I would've thought she was lieing to me.

I know beauty is purely subjective but...... Subjectively, you would be wrong.

 
both Ashley and Dez are bow-legged and struggle to walk in heels. both are petite, though Dez is taller.

Ashley was smaller-chested than most of the other Bachelorettes, evidenced by the way the producers had her wear mini-skirts and dresses with the backs cut out to show a little skin.

neither were the most attractive of their respective seasons.

Dez > Ashley.

 
This is the gayest "who's hottest" discussion in history.

Except for "who's hottest" amongst a group of dudes, obviously. That would be a dead heat with this conversation.

Ummm...no.

 
Brooks doesn't want to commit to Des but she doesn't know it. But since they basically showed last night that Des has settled on Brooks, he won't be the guy she ends up picking, clearing the way for the show to pick Brooks as the next bachelor.
The main battle right now is not for Dez but to be the next Bachelor. Dez was a bad choice from the start. The hot crazy one from Texas would have been more entertaining.
These two posts sum up what I was going to say. For a while now, all signs have pointed to Brooks as being the one that Des picks. But I think what shakes out now is that Brooks bails on Des due to "not being ready to commit," (or some BS like that) before ending up as the next Bachelor. After they showed Des basically saying that she was in love with Brooks this week, that especially seals the deal that he doesn't end up with her IMO.

Oh, not sure why but my gut feeling is that Des then ends up with Chris. I agree with others that Drew is not being true to his sexuality, and that Brooks/Chris are a bit of a bore. Zak's far and away the most entertaining, but I don't think Des and chicks in general pick the "funny guy" over the others.

 
I have a friend from College, from Westminster, Colorado who SWEARS he slept with Desiree years back.

Claims she was stiff as a board and didn't like prodding in and around the face,
