Desiree & Chris Siegfried - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion

I agree. As I was watching, I think the only couples shown in the montage were the ones that had televised bach weddings.

It's strange that Des had such a strong F4, but they still went with Juan Pablo as the next lead  

Robert Mills on one his podcasts with Julia Cunningham said something really odd about Brooks. Firstly said that he believed that they missed something with Brooks but what turned them off was Brook's first single date with Des. They were approaching the bridge and there was a sign that said do not enter and Brooks did not want to keep going. Robert said something along the lines that made them think of Brooks differently. This is my recollection of what was said.

Des is my favourite lead both on and off the show and I too am very excited to hear what she says on the podcast.

Maybe my suspicion that the reason Fleiss didn't film their wedding was they wanted a church wedding and that didn't make for good tv. I've heard rumblings that they were very demanding - it's hard to picture Des or Chris as being a demanding as they both seem pretty chill.

@Norcalgal I agree IMO Des/Chris not only in my subjective eyes, are one of the most chill couples, but normal. (again from my POV).
This show debuted in 2002. Social media was in its' infancy and barely had an influence at all.
A confidentiality clause meant just that, confidentiality. The leaks about what went on behind the scenes were few and far between. Even a few years ago when BBF posted show's contracts the actual nitty gritties had not been exposed at such lengths.
Then came social media, loosening of lips, diarrhea of month etc. The show UnReal.
Certain people for whatever reason will do certain things for a "price" regardless, call it a pound of flesh.
You will get other people that won't. They will take a deep breath, think about it and say--nope. Then they walk away. They go back to their happy lives.
I think Des/Chris fall into the second category. Just me.
They learned from the first go round what the pound of flesh involved. JMO

My dream finally came true. Just opened up a coffee shop in Colorado! #ZiggiBrews4U #ColdZiggi… https://www.instagram.com/p/BYo6fGvn7Sv/

Wonder if they are moving to Colorado. They were in Breckenridge this weekend for a wedding. But I don't think this coffee shop is in Breck. He hasn't said where it is even though several people have asked him.

He just updated and said that the shop is in Thornton, still hasn't said if they are moving. Seems like it might be a good move for them

It's just a photo in front of the coffee shop because Ziggi is his nickname. It's not his coffee shop.

It's a play on the nickname as Just2relax stated. Read all the comments under the photo. LOL

yesss...RS is positing his interview with Des tomorrow instead of Thursday

Anyone have the highlights?

Here's a few things I found interesting:
- she said Sean was pretty much the opposite of her type,but she gave it a chance when arriving on his season.
- She was friends with Lindsay, Jackie and Daniella on her season and didn't have much contact with Cat or Leslie, but she said she was surprised when Leslie got cut before hometowns.
- She never saw Tierra fall down the stairs
-she said her brother played up his part on her hometown date. Apparently she hadn't been very close to him at that point and he had had a normal conversation with Sean on camera, before the producers asked them to re-shoot it and of him to be more like 'the protective brother'. She said she didn't think that was the reason Sean let her go, as they were already 'disconnected'
- she was approached right away to be the lead
-she didn't know right away who her final 4 would be
-she stil knows her rap from 'right reasons'
-she wasn't too happy with the lack of Chris footage on her season, as they didn't show his romantic/funny side enough.

- on part 2 she will talk about the whole Brooks situation and wedding/being 'left out' from Bachelor Hall of Fame (supposedly)

I hope I didn't forget anything major. Des was sweet and funny as always. Even RS was bearable.

Thanks! Hearing about the 'reshooting' is always so interesting, really pulls the curtain back!
