Re: Chris Siegfried -Bachelorette Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #6

[IrishGal]

Why do I have the memory that we've been told by those in the know in seasons past that the leads don't actually write the blogs? They are heavily edited to tell the story TPTB wants. Am I misremembering?

Mura since you are the keeper of the blogs:  Has Des mentioned all of the F3 each time in all her blogs?  Just curious.

I am keeping Chris, of course..(i will update it in a moment)...and then i made a comparison of Brooks and Chris..but only for my own pleasure........i didnt pay attention much to Drew since i bet she will pull a Chris L on him...Drew only on Ep.6 if im not mistaken.

what got me Questioning the spoiler is on Ep.3. when she had both 2 big events of her frontrunners :
- Chris : star at dodgeball game, rooftop, got a rose and slow dancing
- Brooks : broken his fingers, went to hospital and then return

look what she said :
Chris Gets a Rose (yes our boy got his own paragraph title!)
That night I had really great conversations with everyone, but the highlight was my time with Chris. I didn't expect our conversation to come so easily. I felt like I'd known him for years. He was so witty and confident, and I knew I wanted to spend more time with him. Giving Chris the rose meant a lot to me and the slow dance in the park was the romance I had hoped for.

Brooks and I had an incredible date the week before so I already felt connected to him, which made it even harder to watch him in pain. I was disappointed that he had gotten hurt and had to go to the hospital. But I had a lot of great men on this date that I needed to focus on.
 

needless to say, for the whole season, Chris got the most narration, and with very very intimate/personal sweet words, compare to any of the guys.

How about what Des said about that date to Brooks on their HTD? She said that she loved how even though he was lying on the ground with a broken finger, in pain, he could still be so adorable.

She was certainly worried about him that night, too. She couldn't stop talking about him. Even made the guys toast him. Then he comes back with hero music, Chris says "Darn that Brooks. He's so good. So smooth," and he and his sweaty self takes her off to kiss her and show him his finger. :Smiley: She seemed completely happy to go, too.

Just saying.

She was talking about her blog by what was shown on the show.



Speaking of blogs... There is this hilarious blog on tumblr I think called marilyn&monroe or something like that, it's is a lil rated r but so funny.

She calls chris stoop kid, brooks she calls Brooke, and she calls drew who? Lol

I know. I was just pointing out that what she writes in her blog isn't the full story. I'd take the story she gave to Brooks over one she wrote in a blog.

You are correct

i believe they did...but to some extent edited by TPTB. Em's writing is worse than Des, for sure. Em also delivered a dead give away that 1F is the F1. Sean's was also horrible than Des..but he always gave shout out for Cat, even in the early episodes where she didnt get much air time.

DES'S PEOPLE BLOG ON CHRIS (updated)

Episode 1 :
I love a man who can make me laugh, so another entrance that was witty and fun was Chris getting down on one knee to then only wipe sweat from his brow and tie his shoe. Way to scare me and trick me all at the same time!

Episode 3 :
Chris Gets a Rose
That night I had really great conversations with everyone, but the highlight was my time with Chris. I didn't expect our conversation to come so easily. I felt like I'd known him for years. He was so witty and confident, and I knew I wanted to spend more time with him. Giving Chris the rose meant a lot to me and the slow dance in the park was the romance I had hoped for.

Episode 4 :
Another surprise came from Chris, who shared a poem that he wrote. I write poetry as well. Knowing we have that common interest was more than I could have imagined. He showed another side, and that left me intrigued.

Episode 5:
Bryden was not one to open up easily, but I was shocked he wanted to leave. He seemed so reassured in Atlantic City. Bryden should have told me how he was feeling back in the States, before coming all the way to Germany and interrupting my date with Chris. I didn't know if I should be angry, sad, worried, or what ... but it definitely raised questions about the remaining men. Are they committed to see if this could work or will they also leave unexpectedly?

I was caught off-guard and I'm not sure I said everything I had to say to Bryden. I'm definitely anxious to see him at the Men Tell All taping.

Chris made it easy to forget about the distraction. He is so supportive and comforting. He handled the situation gracefully and like a true gentleman. Dinner that night was straight out of a storybook. The palace, the dinner, the conversation, and the romance were beyond my wildest dreams. I truly felt like a princess. Chris made me feel special while dancing in his arms, as if we were the only two people in that ballroom. I almost forgot about the date crasher.

Episode 6:
I shared a poem I wrote with Chris. He has been so generous with his thoughts and poems. Everything is so natural and easy with him. It truly felt like we were high school sweethearts sitting on my bed that night.

Episode 7:
Saying I Love You
I was excited to see Chris, and I thought that spending a day relaxing out at sea would turn up the romance. It was nice to share that time on a deserted island with Chris and write a poem together. That's something I've never done before with a boyfriend, so it definitely set our connection apart from others.

Dinner with Chris that night in town was beyond romantic. It was nice to learn more about his family. But the ultimate treat was another poem he wrote that ended with him saying he loved me. That was more than I had expected that night. It meant so much to me that he was able to be so vulnerable. It was also a good sign that I wasn't scared when he read those words.

Episode 8
Chris's Family
I was thrilled to meet Chris's family in Oregon. One of the qualities I love about Chris is his athleticism, so it was nice to share in his passion for baseball and see where he played as a kid. I enjoyed showing off my baseball skills and hopefully impressed him. Spending the day with Chris in his hometown felt effortless and I could picture what a life together would be like.

I always have an amazing time with Chris and our relationship has progressed in such a wonderful way but I needed his family's blessing. I knew he was ready for a commitment but I needed to see if our lives meshed well together. I enjoyed talking with his mother and I could tell she only wants what is best for her son. That was endearing and I was glad that his family gave us their blessings. It felt great to know where my relationship stood with Chris and that made me hopeful for the rest of the journey.

I am a firm believer that when this show leads you in one direction, the outcome is totally different. They want shock value. I am thinking that since they are being so obvious about Brooks, that it will be Chris. Have to wait and see.

I rarely choose correctly but I think I agree with this.  The more I think about it the more I think their families are similar.  She may want a perfect family like Drew and Brooks but that is not her norm.JMO

Drew's perfect family? Interesting way to describe a family with a recovering alcoholic father who has never been welcome in the mother's house until the HTD? Don't get me wrong, all families have dysfunction..including mine for sure...but let's at least be real here!

hi scoopsville!!..maybe i am one of 5% here who think that your fam is a normal, warm, solid, close-knit family.
just to let you know that you may find a really big range of difference opinions here in this forum..yet you can always find a genuine full support from us, Chris fans! (i do hope so!  ).

Brooks' family, as is, are pretty perfect, it seems, BUT people have noticed his father's missing. His father lives in Texas. Left his family when Brooks was 14 or so to go work as CIA (or something) in Costa Rica, I believe? Just up and left his family of 10 kids with his wife for an undercover job with the US government. So . . . yeah, Brooks hasn't had it easy, either. Brooks forgot what his father looked like he hadn't seen him for so long. When they did finally meet again Brooks was angry at him and crying and they started working things out and he says they're still working things out. His mom raised 10 exceptional kids on her own.

i agree...every family has its own dysfunction....i just feel that there is NO need to make fun of it!!!. After all, its Des who will decide whose family fit her most. I remember reading Trista's blog..that she knew for sure Ryan is the one..from her HTD. She fell in love with his fam. Ditto with Ashley.

Back again for a second: Scoopville to me perfection is always a work in progress so how you handle the bumps in the road decide success/perfection. Some bumps are tougher than others.

[Baseball Mom]

The problem here lies with the use of the word "perfect". Obviously, none of these families are perfect and the contestants would be the first ones to acknowledge this fact. As already mentioned, every family will have their issues, some more than others. What TPTB chose to show us is but a snippet of hours and hours of tape that they have of each family. Chris has had a really good edit(I refuse to use the word perfect) up until HTD. And it could have stayed that way(you know, warm fuzzies all around) but instead TPTB chose to include footage that they could have totally left out, just to inject some negativity. It's all part of the picture TPTB is trying to paint.
