Re: The Bachelorette 9 - Videos - Thread #1

The whole problem this season is that Brooks is sssssoooooo over-exposed as a F1 pre-airtime. That promo is downright ridiculous. "Will you accept this rose?" "Yes, definitely." Not even villainess F1s Vienna and Courtney got that much pre-show mileage. (Well... I take that back. We got a nice shot of Court's shapely rump.)

Meanwhile Chris is Find Waldo except in that promo where he gets at least five refrains of "yes to love" in the last couple minutes. Did he already sign on the dotted line for 2014 and this means he is ready for next season?

I guess one possibility is that Catherine was too UNDER-exposed last season that the Fleiss editing pendulum must swing the other way. In other words, this is the Desiree, Sean in flashback, Chris Harrison and Brooks The Luv Of Des' Life show... with the other guys playing Greek Chorus... excuse me, a six-abs dance routine around the happy couple. (Speaking of Sean, didn't he get enough exposure on DWTS? Twice in Desiree's promo? I understand that his face is a cash cow for the franchise, but will we see him in every episode recap too? You folks must find me an irritable grump.)

One comparison that pops up a few times is Ali and Frank, since he got a 1 on 1 in episode #2 with fans snapping pictures and smooching in front of the Hollywood sign. At least one "yes to love" involves that sign. Awwww... Hollywood Luv. This also makes you wonder if there's some sort of "gotcha" at the end of this, like Frank bolting out in Tahiti.

Just kidding! Oh I am sure Brooks and Des are a match made in heaven. They just aren't doing this season like past ones.

thanks for sharing your expertise, JBF! :Smiley:
yeah, i guess we`ll have to see whether all of the Patterns/Coincidences Theories should be thrown out of the window or not....
and let me just say Amen, for the possibility of Chris being next TB.

Catherine was too underexposed. I guess what the show does is goes with what they got! If they have a romance right from the start, that's what they will use. If they have a Catherine situation, you keep Tierra as long as possible to cause fake drama, because the other women get along too well. Just my guess.

As for the abs thing, that's an interesting point. Yeah, Brooks is a model part time, but his abs are nothing like Drew's and Zak's.

but it was not the case with Ali, i believe. Although she was really into Roberto from the beginning (she admitted it). They dont show it at all in her promos.Maybe they just doing it differently this time...

Didn't you see Ali's newest boyfriend? He's Frank's twin!

They show Zak's M&G. :)

Ugh... nay!

They only showed Larry and magician Nick, followed by Zak's limo arrival. Will they expand it later with all of the guys arriving? We now know that Diogo is the knight anyway... so there isn't anything they need to hide from us, premiere-wise. Why can't we have fun investigating the limo arrival order and study her body language with each guy?

Here's our recap:

What do a Cuban Casanova -- who is a gentle giant but might be too good to be true -- a hard charging federal prosecutor, a sexy former pro soccer player who is a single dad, a free spirited drilling fluid engineer with a captivating sense of humor, a self-proclaimed Southern gentleman who also is a single father, and a suave, debonair financial advisor with a dark secret in his past all have in common? They're all on the hunt for the new Bachelorette, Desiree Hartsock, when the ninth edition of the female version of ABC's popular romance reality series, "The
Bachelorette," premieres on MONDAY, MAY 27 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Desiree, 27, who grew up in a family of modest means but rich in love, meets 25 potential soul mates as she begins her own search for true love. In the premiere, 25 eligible men come from all over to try and win Desiree's heart. Immediately the drama and one-upsmanship begin. Desiree's anxiety melts away as soon as the men start to compete to impress her: Larry, a nervous ER doctor, tries to break some romantic dance moves, but he's no Fred Astaire; Nick R., who plies his trade as a professional magician, displays his talents to Desiree; a shirtless Zak W., a hunky oil rig worker, displays an outstanding six-pack to impress the Bachelorette; and Diogo appears like a knight in shining armor - literally. But the one who captures Desiree's heart is our youngest man to ever climb out of a limousine -- Ben's four-year-old adorable son, Brody, who accompanies his single dad.

The battle for Desiree's attention and affection has only begun. The 19 roses come out early. Nick R. sets off a commotion as the men rush to get time alone with the Bachelorette. After Desiree gives out the first rose, a jealous frenzy erupts between the guys. Brad, who is a part-time DJ, sparkles with some hip hop dance moves. Fearless, topless Zak W. strips down to his underwear and dives into the pool. But how will Desiree react to this immodest stunt? Strikingly handsome Juan Pablo, a former pro soccer player, attempts to give the Bachelorette a private dribbling lesson. However, before too long, the rest of the men jump into the action. And Jonathan drops a bombshell when he decides the time is right to invite Desiree into his own special "fantasy suite," which leads to an explosive reaction.

Some bachelors with early roses can relax, but the others are very apprehensive as the season's first rose ceremony begins. Finally, Desiree will have the 19 men who will move into the mansion and continue on the quest for her heart.

You mean just the 'Will you accept these abs' and that's it?

[JBF]

Actually Zak's entrance was more amusing than it appears in the other promos. He is making a sly dig at Sean Lowe... and he is STILL shirtless in the mansion with the other guys!
