About this: I haven't really been able to watch this season but I did happen to get a peek at US Weekly and wanted to post since nobody else had.

The 2 guys in question according to US Weekly are Brooks and Drew. US Weekly says Brooks was the frontrunner going into hometown dates but then Desiree really connected with Drew on their HTD and so she started to feel conflicted between those 2 guys. The anonymous source from production telling US Weekly this also says there's a lot of drama ahead. The inside Bach/ette sources leaking to US Weekly tend to be accurate.

I don't have a lot of analysis to add because I haven't really been following the arc of the tabloids this season.

Back when I watched & posted more regularly, my single contribution to these boards was tabloid arc analysis, what stories were strategic leaks by production versus tabloids making crap up to punish the franchise for a lack of cooperation, etc. That doesn't by any means make me an authority or anything, so take this for how you will. Also bear in mind I've read Love_Me's spoilers and RS's spoilers but haven't kept careful tabs on where the sleuthers are. I also know next to nothing about any of the guys.

One more disclaimer: like I said above, I haven't really watched this season, and my limited tabloid reading has mostly been from US Weekly last week (the Desiree cover story) and this week.

One thing I was looking for in the Desiree cover story in US Weekly last week was whether any of the f4 guys was mentioned (they were not, which is a good thing) and if US Weekly had a line in there anywhere about how despite the jerks this season, Desiree is confident in/happy with her choice/how the season ended (there was not). The latter is a possible red flag, but it may also just be US Weekly doing a story in cooperation with NEXT Production that correlated with the airing of the episodes centered about right reasons/the lack thereof. Regardless, US Weekly, like all the other tabloids, knows the outcome of this season, as far as who, if anybody, is F1. They won't spoil it directly (well, secondary tabloids might, but only if they want to run an "already broken up" story, false or true), but you can pick up hints.

The fact that US Weekly even featured Desiree in the sidebar on the cover story after her cover story is probably an indication that her cover story issue sold pretty well, which is somewhat surprising but impressive considering what I think have been weak TV ratings.

As far as this latest US Weekly article, atem is right that it was only 2 or 3 paragraphs, quite short, and not a feature story (making it all the more noteworthy that US Weekly teased the story on its cover). However, in the space of that short piece, US Weekly managed to get in that Drew speaks fluent Italian and is a (former?) model. So, keeping in mind that my reading was probably somewhat filtered by the spoilers, my take from that short US Weekly story was:

1) Drew seemed to be getting the next Bachelor push (ladies, he speaks fluent Italian! And is a model!), which would also explain him getting the catch-up love story edit.

2) The fact that Chris S wasn't mentioned by US Weekly in a two horse race doesn't bode well for his relevance at the end of the season.

But that's just my take.

Thought this would be interesting to any Drew fans who missed cfck's posts who hasn't really posted until now this season but has brought us info on the various articles in previous season and has a lot of insight.

It makes sense. And confirmed by the early and late spoilers : first Drew and then Brooks.

The only problem I have with the late spoiler is that Chris is F2 instead of Drew.

But I don't see how he can possibly be next Bach given the things Bach Nation is tweeting about him. So unbelievably rude and down right mean. I hope he shuns them all.

Well said! I thought Drew's family was amazing. We know why he is so kind and sweet after seeing them. His mother was very protective of him as her youngest child. She doesn't want him hurt. I think once Drew got out of the bachette bubble, he was fine.

I really can't say in polite language what I think about Bach Nation's tweets about him. They should all be ashamed.

I don't post much, but I feel so badly for Chris and Drew that I have to know more, and I don't have the time to filter through thousands of pages of posts.

So, I'll bite...

What are the people in Bach Nation tweeting about Drew? He's been nothing but lovely.

The only ones I know are about mean girl wannabes, Sarah H & Lindsay, making innuendos about Drew's sexuality & Mills re-tweeting a similar tweet. To me they just made themselves look bad.

Yeah, that was really uncalled for and I expected better of them - maybe they are trying to be funny/snarky like Spivs but they are failing miserably at it. I don't know what to say about Millsy - maybe he thinks he's funny too - who knows.

I feel bad for both Drew and Chris today - they may be completely over the whole thing now and perfectly happy, but ,woah, that had to sting last night thinking they had a chance with her when they introduced her to their families only to find out, they didn't. I'm guessing the families didn't feel too great either.

Me too. Watching must have been hard for them.

Hopefully Brooks has sent Des a truckload of designer shoes for the stunt he pulls in Antigua giggling

I agree -- but TPTB are most likely hoping that, as long as he proposes in the end, his immature and needy behavior will be worth the ruckus! I just wish that Des would have seen the trees rather than the forest! She would have made her life easier in the end.

Seems to me that Drew already knows and spoke to Desiree about just that on that beach scene.

Yes I agree with that. I pretty sure that was exactly what they are talking about. I can't wait to see how that scene plays out and in fact ends. For me that is the real drama of this show.

ND, ITA. It should be very interesting.
