Re: Drew Kenney - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Discussion -Thread #2

Imo, the reason things seem so strange and don't add up with Drew is because no one wants to believe that he is F1.

It's not that to me. I just need something and not one spoiler indicates it.

Does anyone think he is F1 and if so why?

Not at all. I can give reasons why I don't.

i wrote this in zak's thread but thought i'd post it here since there is so much conversation about drew here.

i just read RS's blog today and he said that in an interview with the LA Times CH said they are thinking they need a lead with more "edge". they were talking about des' ratings being down and think maybe sweet & innocent isn't what fans want. so...i wouldn't be surprised if this is why zak is getting so much air time and that he may be being considered for the next lead over nicer guys like chris or drew. jmo.

I agree! Please! I would love to have a lead with some edge; someone new to the franchise would be nice too!

I'm getting an error message in the link.  Is anyone else having problems seeing Drew's deleted scenes?

Have you tried Hulu?

Thanks Atem.

Drew is not only getting zero onair screen time ... except for his role with overhearing James ... but he's also getting no loving from Des on her People blog. I've been tracking who gets mentions and amount of words that she devotes each column to her top contestants. After five blogs, here's the score (note: I stopped tracking wordcount scores for Bryden, Ben, Brandon and James since they are either gone or soon to be gone but ALL of them got positive mentions from Des):

Brooks: 515 words
Chris: 346 words
Zak W: 268 words
Michael G: 149 words
Kasey: 130 words
Juan Pablo: 78 words
Drew: 0 words

I should note that Drew was mentioned in the blog but it was just to say "I was oblivious to the conversation Drew and Kasey overheard."

I have been monitoring the contestant blogs for many seasons now and I just have to say that I have NEVER seen someone in the top 4 get zero mentions. It's really strange.

I'm strangely fascinated by this whole Drew edit and wonder if we'll understand it by the end. It is so weird. Chris Harrison never mentions him either, which obviously must mean he's not going to Bachelor - they always play up their Bach favourite in his Blogs.

Why would we want to believe he is F1? Since we know he is not?

I've never thought that Drew was the f1 even before I was spoiled. That hasn't stopped him from being my favorite. I still don't think we can write him off as the Bachelor just yet. He's getting a 1 on 1 date (finally) next epi so CH & Des should mention him in their blogs. Obviously he's not being pushed on us like Zak is but I don't think that's working if they want him as TB. I do wonder why they'd be looking for someone with edge when Sean had really good ratings? I'd be on board if it was someone really attractive & has a sense of humor though. There really isn't anyone this season who I'd consider have an edge to them so if that's what they want I'm not sure who it would be. So much depends on who ends up the fan favorite(s) and who the network wants. I'll be interested to see the MTA since they like to feature their favorite although even that's not for sure since it's often the f2 person.

:no:Not at all. I can give reasons why I don't.

While I still say anythings possible (I typed up why I think that Zac could be a secret F1 in his thread) - I do believe the spoilers.

However, if there was a planned giant fake out then its anyones game. The storylines solidify towards episodes 5 and onwards since the first few episodes have been edited prior to the FRC even taking place I think. The editors start the storylines later.

So could Drew be the secret F1 ? Sure why not. Both Zac and Chris could be that too. What we need is proof. We really don't know why certain parts of the story have been left in and others left out. Just going by the season preview does not tell us the whole story.

Oh and I'd love to hear others reasoning for why he is or not F1 (without taking Brooks as F1 into the reasoning) please.

I've always thought that getting such a late date has to mean Drew wasn't one of her favorites although there is the birthday theory. Him not being shown much time with Des could be an argument in his favor. We know there are some very hot wall kisses coming up and therefore they have chemistry that we're not seeing. Brooks is maybe too obvious and is a fakeout hiding one of the other guys as the f1. Right now it's hard to see that but anything's possible.

[nd4reality]

One little edit theme for Drew has been the whole 'I am here for you'. That has been mentioned / alluded to in nearly every episode. Remember even in ep3 during the pool party ? The one line we got was Drew telling Des that he is there for her. They did not show any time Brooks spent with her during that party but they made sure that Drews line was in there.

Yes he is part of the James weeks drama but IMO it is more of protecting Des than jealousy of another guy getting time with her.
That may turn out to be overkill as CH has already mentioned and will ruin his chances but at least he didn't turn a blind eye to a guy that clearly has been playing Des.

So the whole I am here for you theme could well be turned into more drama where down the line (towards the end) he (DREW) bails on Des and therefore that theme has been resonating to clearly throught. MY opinion.

OR the theme is resonating so strongly because someone ELSE bails on her at some point and he is the one for her.
Either way - there is a reason they have been showing this theme with Drew and it remains to be seen how this story plays out.

Good points. I have no idea though. It's just good to know how happy he is! That's good enough for me right now.
