She said she likes a guy with a good heart that also has an edge. That's Zak!

I agree that she seems to like a guy that would 'keep her on her toes' so to speak. That's why she's always saying that Brooks bring out the best in her. He must challenge her to try new things/see things she usually wouldn't.

I also agree that although I am seeing a building storyline for Zak, I don't know if I see it as being for the next lead. I really do think it's for Bachelor Pad, because it won't be around until 2014. They have to keep people knowing who he is by the time it comes.

I get what you and some others are saying about Bachelor Pad. However, I don't think that just because Zak has a zany personality (and is being pegged as THAT guy who would be perfect for BP), that people should count him out as a possible contender for the next Bachelor. I think that it is a possibilty, based on how much screen time that he as received and because of the edit that he has been given - so far.

Most of the people who have appeared on BP are just "icky", crude and downright gross. Many of those chosen to do BP are the drama queens and kings from previous seasons or those with questionable character or those who failed their psych tests, which the producers just love to exploit. I just don't think that participating in BP is what Zak is striving for and will believe that until proven otherwise. Even if he is not being considered for the lead role as the TB, it has still been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that appearing on BP is not a good career choice for anyone who wants to be taken seriously!!!

ITA. why do they bother to show him being a religious (mountain scene), thoughtful (journal for Des) and has some depth for a merely `eww` BP show?...

I agree with Bee as well. I definitely see they build this storyline specifically for him as next lead.

I just looked up Mico, and it's only about 20 minutes from the fastest growing area of San Antonio. Just a little bit out from the 'burbs, honestly.

I thought Zak lived in the DFW area now?

ETA: Maybe, I am thinking of someone else. giggling

Zak is awesome, he's the type of man who gets better and better looking as you fall for him. :) I like him more every week.

I don't know if I'd agree that it's not what Zak's striving for or why would he do the whole naked thing? It's not going to further your cause to find love or potentially be the Bachelor. I don't think BP would be such a bad thing for him to do if asked. There have been plenty of nice people on BP but it's the not so nice who everyone remembers because they're highlighted. Many have managed to come out with reputation unscathed and some romances have come out of it plus a couple of marriages (Peyton meeting Chris L came about because of the show).

Thanks for bringing that over! He has a certain charm that I like. Yes, I'm trying to forget the nude scene on his balcony. I'm looking forward to seeing their date!

Do you suppose the vases in the above photo were used as drinking glasses? Just made me curious...

by Guest Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:18 pm

Not sure if this photo has been posted before, but good grief, his mom is a cutie!
