Week 2 - The right reason



Brooks gets first 1-on-1
And I am freaking out.  I picked him as my favorite from the BIO and was SHOCKED week 1 when he turned out to be this real nice guy.  Sounds like Des and I have similar tastes so far.  I’m kindda nervous though, because often the guys or girls who go on one-on-one the first week get so nervous about their connections and really screw it up!!!  Remember Des on Sean's season?  So I guess this gives her insight on how the guys are feeling at all stages of this journey, but especially that week 1 date “curse”. 

That aside, I loved how they were on their date with each other and how much fun they were having.  I was really disappointed though that there was very little originality to it as far as this Bachelor show goes.  All things had been done previously: Bridal shopping --> Ashley & William, the Closed bridge --> Kalon & Lindzi.  It was a bit much that Des pretended to be lost and to be surprised...  I’m pretty sure she knew what was going on!!!  Regardless, Brooks is by far my favorites and I feel like it will stay that way, the same way Jef was my early favorite and remained my favorite until the end.

I also bet kissing Brooks must have been nice for Des compared to kissing Sean.  I’m just saying and don't make me spell it out.  Sorry Catherine.

Group date
14 guys on a date usually ends up in disaster.  But this date was actually really fun if you don’t take into account a few things.  Often week one the group date is not so tense since there are no real strong connections w/the "lead" yet and the guys are still nice to each other (for the most part).  Fortunately for us, things get uglier as the season progresses (usually) and from the preview this season is no different.

THE RIGHT REASON
People can complain all they want about this rap song, I thought it was the funniest and suited 100% to Des' funny personality.  I just loved it.

But there was soooo much of THE RIGHT REASON and THE WRONG REASON on this episode so we must talk about that!  So here is the recap:

Pantless for the right reason, on a group date --> I have to admit I have never heard of that one...  But this is the Bachelorette so anything goes???  It was a bit much and it was so awkward, WOW.  Brandon does remind me of Kasey and good work ABC for making him Kasey.  Lol 

Brandon has a cross on his back, which made me believe he must have some religious.  Religious about not wearing pants.  And not caring about roses.  This might have worked better on a different show.  The same show where Kasey ends up with the girl.  In this show Ben gets the rose, and the kiss and somehow Brandon doesn’t after pouring out his life story.  Although I’m not a big fan of giving roses to whoever had the worse story...  I think I’m just mad Ben got the rose at this point.  Doesn’t mean I like Brandon.  Actually he’s kindda annoying.  Moving on.

Having a kid for the right reason and using that to get a kiss for the wrong reason --> Yes I’m talking about you Ben.  You never waited to see if she was ok with you kissing her after asking if you could kiss her.  You just assumed.  I’m now mad at you.  Very mad.  That was rude and gross.  I know they are not showing me your nice side and the good conversations you are having with Des, so I’m going to let you off the hook for now.

Or not!  Seriously this guy’s BIO rubbed me the wrong way right away!!!  And then he rubbed me the wrong way night one.  And now on week 2 the guys are starting to be annoyed by him.  His only saving grace is his son Brody, and I hate that it is.  Poor kiddo.  He is getting way too intense with getting the rose on the group date.  Ugh!!! 
The right reasons for spelling things right.  The fact that ABC still doesn't know how to spell achievement in this guy's BIO still really boggles my mind but I decided to move on.  Yet the producers haven’t showed much about him, except I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the camera man reflection on his forehead.  Yes that’s it.  That’s what they’ve shown us. 
The right reason to pick any dresses she wants and still look good.  I mean what girl wouldn’t like to hear that. Way to go Brooks.
The right reason for growing on me.  Slowly...  Yes Bryden that’s you.  And then BAM.  The evening part of their date?  He froze then killed it.  And well won me over.  AFTER I found myself screaming “kiss her already”.  Loved that Des said the same :)  She’s the best bachelorette ever.  Seriously.  Oh and I also noticed he looked like a great kisser.  I think he’s top 4 material.  Seriously.
The right reason to still be boring.  Chris, I’m bored.  Very bored.  I have nothing to say about you.  Still.  Way to keep it plain.
The right reason not to have any air time.  Turns out Dan and I have a few things in common, but I only know that because of his BIO.  Not sure if we’ll ever see him.  He could be the Catherine of this season tho.  No airtime and then BAM engaged.
The right reasons why I don’t know why everyone likes you.  What am I missing here ladies with Drew?  I have yet to see him do something that stands out.
James is there for the right reasons.  His mom told him to. 
The right reason to be the wrong Kasey.  Am I the only one confused with this guy?  I always think Brandon is Kasey than I see Kasey and I’m like: “who is he???”

The right reason to protect a girl.  Oh I thought he was gonna spank her, not protect her.  Dang.  I am a little nervous Des is too sweet for him, with his diabetes and all. 
Mikey, is definitely here for the right reasons.  He’s there to be Des’ time police.  I like him.  He seems like a grown @$$ man. 
The right reason to get voted off.  Nick, you didn’t look like her type.  I wasn’t surprised to see you go.  Will, with a name like that you HAVE to know how to rap.  I’m sorry that’s just the way things are.  Robert, friends first and well I can see why Des chose to let you go!  Strangely those 3 men were all in alphabetical order.  The Zack’s are gone next week. 
The right reason to give a girl a gift.  I still don’t trust this guy.  Pantless and shirtless people are hard to trust.  But he seems to be the Lindsay Yenter of this season and that girl is the bomb.  So I’m going to withhold judgment and like him for the right reasons.  That was so sweet considering Des likes to journal.  So cool.
Until next week, for the right reasons y'all!!!
