Desiree Hartsock - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion

I bet Des only hopes her future designing career winds up as misdirected as Ali's entertainment career. :Smiley:

If that's she wants go for it. It's not about careers to me. I never knew Ali to not be conniving to get what she wants. Even when she first appeared on Fake's season.

I'm not a fan, either, and it's a big ew moment for me that Des and her are friends. Ew. Ali always seems so purposefully obtuse. In other words, dumb. Maybe it's misdirection, but it just makes her look dumb, like she has no ability to read people.

Not a fan, but a 4.0 and Phi Beta Kappa -- I'm guessing Ali's not dumb

I was not a fan of Ali's during her 2 stints on this franchise. Which again, makes me wonder how the edit effects how we see people.
Anyway, in the last year Ali has worked pretty hard and is pretty good on her show. I give her kudos. I like seeing someone with a good work ethic(and some networking!) succeed ala Chris and Peyton.

I added to what I said above.

I think it's more about personalities. I think that Des can get along with anyone because she's not pretentious or condescending. She doesn't mind taking the back seat. Des is not a diva type. Can't say that about Ali.

Neither is Brooks. He doesn't mind standing in the back, being in the back. He hasn't complained much at all.

Totally agree. I think her last three guys will have that in common. Brooks laid a solid foundation on his first date, friendship mixed with passion.

I recall that the people that have that clothing store invited both Ali and Desiree to visit them after the MTA pre-taping Desiree, Ali, Emily, etc did.

That was on the Instagram pics posted by Ali or Desiree with Ali giving them a shout out for her outfit for the taping.

I don't see Ali as a diva at all.  I liked her in both seasons (other than the dumb crying in the hall) plus she had some excellent guys. The ones I found to be the biggest divas in their seasons were Jen Schefft & Emily. Funny that they were both previous f1 or maybe because of it.

This also invited Catherine to look through their collection and be photographed in it several weeks ago as well. Seems they are trying to use popular Bachelor/ette ladies to get their line out there and photographed.

Des would be smart to talk to Ali about how to use the Bachelorette to help further your career because Ali has done a pretty solid job of that lately.
