Episode 4 - 6/17 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion - Spoilers

I had a question . When Brysen was telling the guys about leaving and Brooks had a PI with a lavender dress shirt. You can see the curtains in the back when Chris and Des did previous PIs. Where was that location identified as?

Brooks was also significantly darker!

Manny and Jen were the best date ever on this show.  Finally, something REAL, lol!

Zak W is growing on me.  Funny guy who doesn't take himself too seriously and can sort-of sing.  OK, his face always feels like it wasn't quite meant to be like it is, but I think he'll make some woman very happy some day.

Mikey grew on me, too.  Funny guy.

I just can't get into Brooks.  Too into his feminine side for me.  Des seems to have a lot of guys who have obvious feminine sides.

Overall, I think we haven't had enough time to warm up to this group.  It takes a while.  Some like Chris Lambton back in the day can make you warm up to them quickly, but this is a less obvious group.

I wonder if she is really more of an introvert and is needing some time to herself. Artistic people usually are, and if she is, then this bach format is probably extremely difficult where she has a fast pace with people in her face all the time.

Before anyone lashes me, it isn't an insult to say she's an introvert. It just means she gets her energy from her alone time, where an extrovert derives energy from being around other people.

I'm an introvert, so totally understand your post.  I love my alone time, even from my family.

So am I, so I totally understood what she meant. I've always loved my alone time..

I totally get it too- extroverts (e.g. Ali) derive energy from people. An introvert can do very well in social situations, but is exhausted by it. If Des is an introvert, this is VERY challenging because the lead has almost no down time throughout filming (ask Sean, he couldn't even escape to the shower- but then I don't think he's an introvert).

thanks for sharing this, BKay. it explains perfectly a possible scenario on the back of my mind. My guess is she will be an extremely indecisive about her final decision, due to her introvertness. Its not a bad thing, i agree. just not perfectly fitting in the format of this silly show. This topic reminds me so much of Graham and Reid, for some extent...

someone CMIIW. Des's kissing count may reach a toll around 11-12. it is way over Ali 5-6. Ash 7-8. and Em 8

Is this contestants or # of kisses (seen either on the show or via deleted scenes) ?

I thought Emily was really high.
I wouldn't count Brandon because he kissed her but she just let him :halo:
It just seems to be that she hasn't found what she is looking for you know. You don't have to kiss someone to know you are attracted to them.
So as of the last episode 4, she has apprently kissed all the guys with Drew (deleted scene) being the last of the lot ?

i am afraid yes, including Mickey, the gangster guy.....
but atem has reasoning for Des, that she just couldnt simply say NO if the guy initiated it first. and to some extent, i think it makes sense...
