Bachelorette 9 - General Media - Discussion

Per MF:

"I can't tell you [if Desiree found love]. All I can say is, you will be shocked by how this ends! It doesn't make sense in some ways; It comes out of left field in other ways. It's just the weirdest ending we've ever had, that's for sure!"

The promos have shown issues with Brooks so I still believe this statement isn't just about him leaving or having a time-out and possibly returning. That wouldn't be strange to me because that is what the promos show.

The promos haven't shown that he returns though. It might be assumed by some unspoiled viewers that he does not return.

I think some viewers might find it weird or shocking that Des could take Brooks back (especially if they are rooting for Drew or Chris).

They might not show it in black and white but when I see that, the first thing I think is that a normal season, everything would work out and he would be the F1. An odd, out of left field season, he wouldn't. That's JMO though.

Read in another thread that the ATFR will be a closed set! The only other time they did a closed set ATFR was for Jason's season. That tells me that the ending is controversial which could only mean she picks Brooks. I can't see them doing a close set if Brooks is gone and doesn't come back or if Chris is F1. They would not need to, IMO.

 or Brooks' family will fill that set all by themselves! Either way it does lead to Brooks. Maybe and intimate wedding? 

Closed set..... Simple as the audience will see the final episode during the live show .. part 1 .. and then the AFTR will be shown .. Part 2 .. Closing the set will prevent any leaks what so ever during the first 2 hours .. so that the AFTR .. Part 2 of the live show will still be an unknown entity

I don't understand...Why would there be an audience for part 1 if its airing on Monday? I would imagine part 2 would be show on Aug 5th like any other finale where they show it and then go right into the live ATFR. There is no need for their to be a closed set unless there is something else going on. They only did that last with Jason.

Ali's ATFR had no audience. Is that the same thing

So sorry .. Off topic.....

Kidd Kraddick passed away suddenly.......

Kidd Kraddick has long been a popular disc jockey in Dallas.

David “Kidd” Kraddick, the radio and TV personality whose locally based “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning” is heard on Dallas’ KISS-FM and stations across the nation, has died, sources said late Saturday.

“It has been confirmed that Kidd Kraddick passed away today in New Orleans at a golf tournament organized to raise money for his beloved Kidd’s Kids charity,” KISS-FM owner Clear Channel said in a news release.
The statement was attributed to Kelly Kibler, Clear Channel’s Dallas manager, and was confirmed by a second source close to Kraddick.

“He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him,” the statement read. “Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years, his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children,” the company said.

Kraddick, 53, has been a staple in the Dallas market since his late-night debut in 1984 on KEGL-FM (The Eagle). But his ascension to mainstay status began in 1992, when he moved to KHKS-FM (KISS-FM, 106.1) and began broadcasting his morning show, now known as “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning.”

By 2001 the show was syndicated, and, according to his website, is heard in more than 100 cities.
The Marconi Award-winner's brand expanded even further in recent months when he and his morning crew were added to Dish Nation, a syndicated TV show.Social media exploded with activity after news of the death broke.

Kraddick’s Facebook page was filled with hundreds of condolences, and Twitter was active as well.
“RIP Kidd Kraddick. You were an amazing man and a friend. You are already missed,” Mark Cuban tweeted.
Gordon Keith wrote: “RIP Kidd Kraddick from the Musers. Unbelievable.”

And news anchor Gloria Campos of WFAA-TV (Channel 8) tweeted: “Kidd Kraddick one of the good guys & a tremendous talent. I’m stunned by the news of his passing. Thoughts & prayers to his family & fans.”

Wow. Shocked about Kidd Kraddick. He's very well known here in Dallas.

maybe it is that the audience watches part 2 of the finale (the FRC) and since it is a surprise ending they have a closed set so no leaks go out about the ending. jeepers, is that what you are saying? maybe jeepers is referring to aug. 5th as happening in 2 parts, the FRC & the AFTR, rather than the 2-part finale that tptb are referring to as happening on both july 29th & aug 5th.
