Re: Drew Kenney - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Discussion - Thread #5

[IzaLurkin]

I'm not sold on Brooks being F1.  I guess I'm trying to give Des credit for being more self aware than that.

Between Chris and Drew, I think she has a stronger connection to Chris, based on what we've seen.  I never really saw a physical connection till last night, but she was pretty much all over him in the water.  She was laying on top of him in the water at the beach, and had her legs wrapped around his waist.  She seemed pretty into it.

Drew has been given a really strange edit all season.  We waited for weeks for him to get barely any screen time at all, and when we do, it was all about drama.  I kept trying to figure out why she was keeping him around, and it seemed like it was only because there were others that she really needed to get rid of.  She definitely finds him physically attractive and likes to kiss him, but I'm not feeling any deeper attraction.

TPTB really wasted a great looking, articulate, sincere guy that would have made a great bach if not for the odd edit.  It's almost like he pissed them off somehow.

I'm going to have a really hard time wrapping my head around Des ending up with anyone.  Even if this Brooks drama is producer driven, and they end up together, at least two thirds of TB fandom are going to think Des is being foolish for repeat behavior.  If she were to end up with Chris or Drew they will be painted as faux F1's.  I just can't see a happily ever after with any of these guys, but it sure has amped up the interest.

I wouldn't say the mags are written in stone. Here are some tweets by Des's brother. To me it leads me to believe it isn't Brooks.

Here is the jest of it.

Next week will have some surprises.

Both episodes are crazy.

It does seem like the wrong place and wrong time to tell her that. But at least he didn't do that later.

Just because it seems obvious. Doesn't mean it's obvious.

She's happy now. I know that for a fact.

She is happy I promise.

You have to give context.

Go to his twitter page. I tried to copy them but was having trouble. Maybe someone else could. I put what he said.

Hi, I've just registered and have been caught in the puzzle of who Des ends up being engaged to. lol

I just read Des' blog and I think that the last man standing is going to be Drew after all.

"Drew is such a loving and caring man and he is truly ready to commit and start a family. The date we shared in Antigua was a great way to start off the week and I was so glad to experience the culture and scenery with him.

The rain couldn't have ruined our date because it was more about what was being discussed, than the beautiful, romantic setting on the beach. That night, away from cameras, I was able to learn more about his childhood, high school years and future goals. All of that gave me even more insight to what a life would be like with Drew."

and,

"My dates with Chris and Drew were so wonderful, but Brooks's departure really threw me for a loop. I didn't know what to do and I seriously considered going home and calling it all quits.

In a breakup, emotions are high and it takes self-reflection to gain clarity and peace. I was heartbroken by Brooks leaving and uncertain of what the future held. But knew that I had two incredible men still there who did love me and I wanted to see this through.

Could I get past this heartbreak to love either one of them as much as they both deserved? And would we ever get the opportunity to explore that? I promised myself from the beginning that I was here for love and not just to go through the motions. I had to remind myself that if I wasn't feeling enough for the guys, I wouldn't stay.

Stay tuned next week to find out what happens with Brooks, my broken heart and the remaining men."

Welcome to the Drew thread and the board. Do keep posting.

I have no clue who she ends up with at the end of it all but its nice to read others opinions.

 doluspecialis!! I am curious to know which part of this excerpt of Des' blog makes you to conclude that she ends up with Drew, I don't see anything in there that points to that. I think she would be a very lucky girl if she ends up with Drew, regardless of how they get there.

Hi there, I'm also new to this blog... And I just want to bring up something that nobody has mentioned....

I've gone back through all the previews and see that there are shots of Chris in the limo and Brooks (last night obv) but we never see Drew in a limo. Did I miss that?

This may not mean anything and could just be editing... But I feel it's significant. Has this been discussed.

Thanks for your thoughts.:Smiley:

[Hotmomma]

Yes you ate correct..no shot of Drew.

Hi and Welcome.

You are absolutely right. They showed Mike, Zac, Chris and Brooks in a limo but only showed the beach crying scene with Drew that folks are assuming is his exit conversation.

We have no confirmation though that Chris' limo is not him going to the FRC or from either NOR that Drew is eliminated smack in the middle of his LCD date. Those are unproven till more SCs are released. If at any  .

Yea but even when ppl are eliminated in the middle of the date they always still get in a limo, right?

TPTB really wasted a great looking, articulate, sincere guy that would have made a great bach if not for the odd edit.  It's almost like he pissed them off somehow.

Great post. I have to say that if it's Drew, that at least might explain the weird edit. Never in line for Bachelor so don't bother making him a fan fave and have a total shocker, gotcha ending. Not my personal taste for story telling a love story but who knows.

  OR a car ride like what Arie got last B'ette season.

In his case though he would have to walk or exit on horse (I shudder to think of it) because apparently the beach that they went to is off the beaten path and is difficult to get to.
Can you imagine, being eliminated (IF that is true which I'm not convinced off personally) and then having to ride off on an unwilling horse ? Gosh.
