I think she dresses according to the date not the guy. How can you be in a fancy dress on a bridge in the open then walk a mile to get to Andy Grammer for their concert. With Chris she was in a ballroom in a castle so that called for a dress up.

i think the clothing choices come more into play when they are down to the F3 on a tropical island. also, it isn't about casual or formal but sexiness. one can't be too be sexy though when it is cold out or doing something on a mountain.

Here's the article that Albean found on the unspoiled side:

Here's the quote from the stylist that caught my eye:

"Did Desiree tell you what she was looking for in a man, style-wise? Not what look she wanted in a man, but she was very specific when she’d go on a date who she wanted to dress up for. She was specific about who she wanted to be extremely sexy for and who she didn’t care about."

I do think that Brooks has been her frontrunner from the start but I also think that she gave a few other guys a chance and that Chris is one of them. During the last few episodes, she has initiated the kiss with him and grabbed him with both hands into her. It could be that Chris is just not comfortable showing passion while cameras are rolling as he is obviously very aware of cameras (based on last episode in Germany). Or ... it could be that they just don't have a ton of natural chemistry. But it's not for lack of trying on Des' part!

Let's give Chris - and Des - some credit. There's a reason she took him to #2 and I don't think it's just because she needed a warm body.

But, back to the sexy fashion watch ... I bet it will get more telling as the dates progress. Will be interesting to see her outfits during F3 in particular. Ashley & Ali went really sexy for their F1's.

Good Post, MVMOM. especially to the bolded. btw, do you know she wore only bra (and a tiny vest) and pants for Chris`s FD? giggling

Go get him, Des!!... cheerleader

I personally think each time she tries there is something holding her back that is why I am not seeing the passion. Definitely do not want to wish away my summer so will enjoy the show and look forward to the FDs and LCDs, even though they seem to be full of drama.

I personally think Chris is the one who hold back a little bit. i guess it has smth to do with his previous serious relationship that didnt work out and still `cautious` about this process and weird env of this silly show. I so look forward for their second 1-1 date. whether he/they can let go..not to mention NOT being interrupted... :yes:

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.

I like Ali also and have since day one.

That interview with Cary Fetman explains why Des had the long evening coat on over her RC dress. I think she looked gorgeous at the RC and also during her dinner with Chris.

albean and IG - Add me to the list that likes Ali.

One of the things I likes was her huge 'gotcha' she played on RS with the spoilers. That really kept us guessing till the end and she was instrumental in it.

Where is that? Not in CA, right?

Maybe this is the change and learning curve Des talked about as well as left turn. She chose away from what she was aiming for. ITA that Brooks' dates seems more casual . Maybe in the end that's who Des felt she realistically was. A casual kinda girl.

that's the beach, or overlooking it, at santa monica. it gets really cloudy and foggy at the beach where a fews miles inland it'll be all sunshine. it's been sweltering here in LA the last few days. super humid. yuck.

oh, as i went back looking for a quote i stumbled onto the fact that des said in an interview she lives in santa monica:

5. I want to learn how to surf: I boogie board, but I think it would be so liberating to be out in the water and catch a wave. I love the ocean, I love the beach–that’s why I live in Santa Monica. I am afraid of sharks, like, not knowing what’s underneath of you–I think that’s the scariest—but I like things that are challenging. I wouldn’t give up until I got a wave.

Well, we know Drew could teach her! giggling

I think Brooks does as well. There was an old twitter or instagram post from a person talking about him 'chasing waves' in Costa Rica.
