I do prefer the metrosexuals in real life, for sure. Maybe not the preppy ones so much, although they're cutie pies (Drew). But the slightly rough around the edges, sexy ones.

I think it's real drama. Not fake. I view Des as very confident and strong and I think, deep-down she's totally fine with some of the guys leaving, 1. because she is a strong and reasonable girl, and 2. because deep-down, she already knows who she loves. Now if Brooks tries to leave or does, that's a whole other story. Devastation central.

It is obvious that Des does know who she likes and just doesn't feel it with the other guys. Even Chris. More than once she's made him aware that she views him as a friend or a cute little boy, or someone who is just cute and nice to be around. More than once he's gotten that message and he's reacted to it. Brooks, she is just head over heels gaga, drooling over him and I don't blame her. The others, yes, she barely kisses them. Juan Pablo—he's just a kisser. He's trying to win her over with his kissing skills and charm (I don't think he's charming, but she does).

I love that every guy has something they try to do to impress her and reel her in, and keep her. Chris has found poems and he's starting to do them to death. They all have things they rely on. Brooks does nothing but talk and smile at her and gaze into her eyes. All he has to do is be around and he's winning. Can't say I blame her.

She was frustrated and bored on that 2v1 date with Michael and Ben, but it's part of the show and life to have the crappy parts. There's only one way she's going to know for sure.

And then sexy-locked and I bet great-smelling Brooks comes along and she's happy again.

I've watched a long way back. I didn't see Trista and Ryan. I found the show some time after that and have watched everything Bachelor ever since, devotedly. I liked Jef on Emily's season, but I could see that there wasn't much chemistry between them. I could see that Emily didn't really like him and I did not like her because of it, at all. I did not think she was good for him. I just didn't like her as a person, period. I also didn't like what I found out about Jef, eventually, that he really was in it just for fame. That cooled me on him. I probably would've gone for Jef no matter what, because I didn't really like any of the other guys, ESPECIALLY Arie (I thought his sucky-face lips were gross), but I did support Jef partially because he's from Utah and Mormon. I liked JP, Ashley's season. I truly did like JP (for her) and did see their connection all along. I didn't think JP was the most gorgeous thing ever, but I thought he was cute, had cute, kind eyes, and most importantly, I could see how good he would be for Ashley and that he was totally smitten. That's why I liked him. I knew he was the one for her. Most seasons, though, I never really got a strong favorite.

Brooks is just gorgeous to me. Even if he was spoiled to be kicked off next week I'd totally love him. And not because he's from Utah either, or Mormon, once again. But he's just so freaking handsome and sexy to me. I didn't really like Drew much at the start, but he's getting cuter to me as I see his personality. Chris is nice and so sweet. He's just a little too dorky for me. But it's the first season where I've been able to like/tolerate more than one of the bachelors. And Brooks is just who I would go for, totally, if I were still single and was lucky enough to run into him in real life. I would be like Desiree. Gaga. Staring at him. Wanting to grab his head and kiss him. He is very much my taste. He is the first bachelor in all the years I've watched that I can say that about, so I'm pretty happy about that. He even made it to my "Hey, Gorgeous" section of Pinterest dedicated to the not-so-many guys I think are gorgeous. No other bachelor is on there. Not many guys are on there. I'm pretty picky.

Brooks is just :Drool:

There are many moods of Brooks, too. He always looks different and always sexy. These latest soccer pictures are just

If only he really did play soccer. Sign him up for Real Salt Lake immediately.

Nothing is better than a fit soccer player and Brooks looks like he could really be playing for Barcelona in those pics. He's got the very lean, muscular soccer physique going on, and those long legs that have obviously seen some running time. Even his flying long hair is so soccer.

Ahh. I see we do have polar opposite tastes in the male departement. Metrosexuals just do not do it for me. Any man who takes longer with his hair than I do to totally get ready is out. And yes, I was referring to Drew. That helmet head just turns me off...and the fact that he reminds me of Jake Pavelka (my most disliked contestant ever)...and the fact that he is becoming more and more of a whiny tattler with James next week. Ugh.

I had a suspicion that you were a Jeff fan. Didn't like Em much, but, didn't really care for his attention seeking ways on the show either...before all the stuff post show was revealed. See, he had that hair thing going too!!!

I agree that we have to go through crappy drama every season to a degree, but, there seems to be so much more than the usual one or two dramas this season and we are only 5 episodes in. We had Brian and the girlfriend mess that nobody cared about. Then the Bryden not feeling it and leaving. We had the whole Ben story arc that nobody cared about. Next week is the James hatred that came out of left field. And who knows what is coming next?

I wish I was not so addicted and could just stop watching, but, I am the eternal optimist and keep hoping that somebody will really draw me in. Des just seems so bored most of the time. She is a terrible actress...and her interviews are not much better. She is more natural on the group dates and I am actually enjoying those this season, but, her 1:1 dates are really lacking. I do like Chris and Zack. And Kasey seems like a nice enough guy, but, the rest...blah. And even Chris and Kasey don't really do it for me...a little too soft and quiet for my tastes. Zack is more fun and interesting for me and he is really the only one that I am curious about. Sadly slim pickings for me this season on the Bette, but, BB starts tonight so hopefully that will turn this funk around!!!

LOL.  I feel the same "ew" about Des' kisses with Brooks.  But I am just not as vocal about it.  Different stokes for different folks!!

I am actually looking forward to Zak's 1-on-1 date with Des.  And I can totally see what she sees in him, and what made her keep him around as long as she did.  To me, Zak has proven to be an interesting man, with a multi layered personality.  I can see that Zak and Des found many things that they had a shared interest in.  And Des DID say that Zak is a good kisser as well.

I doubt that Zak is the " surprise model" that is mentioned in the preview for the next episode.
