Bachelor 19 - Tracy Darakis

Too bad she didn't make it far. I was hoping she'd be our next Bachelorette!

Tracy
Bachelorette
Age: 29
Occupation: Fourth Grade Teacher
Hometown: Wellington, FL
Height: 5'4"
Tattoos: 1
Can't live without: Chocolate, mascara, face wash, gum, phone
Biggest date fear: Having food in my teeth!

I love it when my date makes eye contact, asks questions, adds to conversation and makes me laugh.

I hate it when my date talks about himself the whole time or just asks questions like an interview and gives nothing back.

What is your ideal mate's personality like?
Funny, confident, smart, motivated, thoughtful and caring.

Do you consider yourself a romantic? If so why, or why not?
I'd like to be a romantic but I haven't found a guy who'd be into that! I think I am one at heart though.

What's your worst date memory?
At lunch I just threw my hair up real quick because it was hot or something and he said "keep your hair down." It was weird.

What does being married mean to you?
Having a sidekick and a teammate. Someone who's there for you and loves you no matter what.

Another interesting and beautiful woman who doesn't make it far. I might actually have to pay attention the first couple of weeks to understand how Jade and Kaitlyn make F4 and none of these seemingly awesome women do.

Maybe, she realized she wouldn't be willing to move to Iowa?

This is pure speculation on my part. Pure.
Perhaps: no one was really interested in Chris, but one or 2 during the Meat and Geek. Perhaps no one was interested in Chris or Chris was not really interested in any of the women. It's very possible.
You still have to have a show. So you have women who are "interesting" (aka crazy or dramatic or with past acting ability) carry the show.

If I go by Chris' bio, he prefer's the spunky/gutsy, forward and outgoing type (because, I think underneath that 'gentleman" mien, that's who he really is). Someone like his mom. Aside from the over the top duo, Whitney describes herself as being outgoing, and from reading Becca's tweets one can tell that she is too. I guess Tracy and co. couldn't hold his attention, or something.

Playing the devil's advocate:
It's all good and grand to want spunky, gutsy, wild child.
But let's face it---the reality is you are living in a small town miles from any real city fun. There are a ton of responsibilities in running any farm, let alone a huge business farming empire.
I posted a link a few days ago that NBC Nightly New ran. It was farming reality.
Personally, nothing against Chis' mom--her personality seems fun, but her photos show someone who I would imagine spent her life being a farmer's wife. She is not the cutting edge of sophistication. She is homespun. She may be the most witty and educated, warm woman. I suspect she has a ton of attributes, strength and perseverance being the least.
But--the majority of these ladies are coming into their own. Farm life is not going to be a life that is enamoring. This cast pool is not yoked well for lack of better term with what reality is--regardless of how spunky Chris and his mom may be.
With that being said--I would expect a lot of crazy or boring.
Sorry for the blog it really is OT from Tracy. Who looks lovely, btw.

Tracy looks gorgeous in these pictures. She'd be right up there with Nikki for my pick for next Bachelorette!

Was Tracy one of the ones that had no date?

I think she was on the zombie date. I think she might also have absolutely no interest in Chris. My hope is she is seeing all the stupidity and just decided he/it wasn't worth it. My respect will grow tremendously.
