The Bachelorette 9 – Week 8 – Hometown Dates!! (VIDEOS, POLLS)

Welcome! Join The Bachelorette 9, Desiree Hartsock, as her Journey (TM) for Love takes her back to the USA for her four Hometown Dates (TM) with

    Zak Waddell in Dallas, TX
    Drew Kenney in Scottsdale, AZ
    Chris Siegfried near Portland, OR
    Brooks Forester in Salt Lake City, UT

escorted by our genial host, Chris Harrison.
Who will Des send home? And who will take himself out of the running?

Join me as I live-blog TBette off an east-coast live feed, then fill in the gaps off the live west-coast broadcast. If my east-coast feed fails on me, I’ll just live-blog off the west-coast broadcast tonight.

Meanwhile, do you think Brooks is Ready For Marriage (TM)?
Here’s a preview of Des questioning Brooks’ mom on his commitment level.

Brooks’ mom thinks they have “kind of a love look” for each other. <3

HTD 1 – Zak in Dallas
“Des is the Perfect Woman!”

Afternoon with Zak
“If you think I am crazy, wait till you meet my family!”, warns Zak.
Des can’t believe the shirtless guy out of the limo is one of her HTDs now!

Zak recounts a dream he had about Des, a beach, a hot sun, melting into the sand, snowing, ice crystals, cups of sno-cones, and 100 kids running out from nowhere. She didn’t follow it. Neither did I. But I did note the “crazy-guy” score playing in the background. Little did we know, Zak was foreshadowing what was to come next…

BACH FACT: If they play “crazy-guy” music during your HTD, you can bet your bottom dollar that your head is on the chopping block!

Foreshadowing… “You know with Zak I never know what I’m gonna get!”

Zak’s family snow-cone truck appears. Zak & Des drive it to an elementary school, where they are met with a gaggle of geese, oh I mean *kids*, lined up for snow cones. Zak surprises Des by appearing in a penguin suit. No, not a tuxedo – I mean an actual penguin costume!

Des: “Zak would make an excellent dad!”
Zak: “Des would make an excellent mom!”

Des: “I can totally imagine a life of goofiness with Zak.”
She’s really, really reaching… ;)

    Dana Weiss ?@Possessionista 47s
    An awesome twist would be if all those kids were Zak’s. You know, she’s got 5 boyfriends, and he’s got 30 babymamas #Bachelorette

    All these guys will give Des a headache, but only Zak can give her brain freeze #Bachelorette

    Ohhhh hometown dates

Dinner with Zak’s family
“I’ve been completely naked at least 3 times”, declares Zak.
Whadya mean, Zak – on TBette? in front of Des? in life?

Zak’s dad is quite the Silver Fox, isn’t he?? ;)
Actually, Zak’s sis & bro are quite attractive & photogenic, too.

Pow-wow Des + Zak’s mom
Mom: “How do you know when it’s the right guy?”
Mom’s mom: “You know, there’s just this spark.”
Mom observes: “Are you kidding me? They are amazing together!”

Pow-wow Des + Zak’s sis
Sis: “Has he broken *through* the friend zone?”
Des: “Yeah, he’s definitely broken through!”
Sis: “Zak loves life, he loves people, and he will *love* someone forever!”
Des: “I’ve never seen Zak so happy; he walked in with a glow about him I’ve never seen. I’m a little scared, I guess, I just don’t want him to get hurt.”

Pow-wow Zak + his mom
Zak: “She doesn’t care about material things. She’s just a beautiful person!”
Mom: “I thought you had lost your idea of real love. I’m really happy for you!”

Zak & family sing Des a song that Zak wrote!
Is this a Bach/Bette first?
Des: “Those words like hit my heart!”

ILY Declaration #3
Zak gives Des a ring! Des wells up with tears.
“Des, I love you. I do.”

“It’s gonna be the most beautiful day of our lives.”, Zak pontificates.

    Chris Bukowski ?@chrisjbukowski 1m
    The worst thing about getting the first hometown date is having to wait.. And in my case wait to get dumped. #Bachelorette

HTD 2 – Drew in Scottsdale

“Today is my day to throw Des in the deep end and see if she can swim.” Romantic. Not.

Afternoon w/ Drew & Melissa
Drew rattles off a long list of relatives that Des will meet.
Eleven, to be exact!

Bach First? – This will be the first time that Drew’s dad will visit Drew’s mom’s house (they are divorced and Mom is remarried.)

Sister Melissa is severely handicapped mentally – can’t feed or bathe on her own, can’t speak. Zak has never taken anyone to Melissa’s house before. Melissa is super excited!

Very moving moment, actually. Melissa is precious.
Hope Melissa’s heart does not get broken after this is over.

“I haven’t said ILY, those words in that exact order, yet. Today is the day that I tell Des that I love her.”

Wait a minute – Didn’t Drew just tell her ILY last week?
What a spin doctor!

    Andrea Lavinthal ?@andilavs 3m
    Ignore me, Drew, I’m just pissed that you look prettier in pink than I do. And I like that shade of blush on you. #bachelorette

    Ashley S. ?@AshleySpivey 4m

    Sarah Herron ?@sarahherron 4m
    OK…. swoon. #Drew

Evening with Drew’s family
Eleven members in this family. And they didn’t wear nametags.

Des w/ Dad
Dad: “Have you ever met an angel?” “Melissa is our angel for us.”
Dad: “You are real. We would welcome you into our family.”

Drew w/ Mom
Mom: “Are you ready to propose to her?”
Drew: “I can see myself getting down on one knee.”
Mom: “I can too. I can too.”

Drew w/ Dad
Dad: “Gorgeous. Feet on the ground, head on straight. Dead center. An exact match…. If you want to marry this girl, I will throw a party. Go for it. Really!” The excitement & acceptance is palpable! “Bring this girl back into our family, will ya?!”

Des VO: “I want to join Drew’s family right now. I want to stay!”

ILY Moment #3.5
Drew to Des: “They love you. I love you, I do. You fit right in. I love at you, I see happiness, I see all of it.”
Drew to Us: “Her kisses tell me that she’s right there with me.” “The next time I see my family, I will be an engaged man.”

    Coastal ?@AftertheRose 1m
    I got to say, Drew’s HTD was one of the best I’ve seen in the Bachelor/Bachelorette history! #bachelorette

———-
HTD 3 – Chris in McMinnville, OR

Afternoon: Chris & Des play Baseball in matching blue uniforms
Friend zone’d: “When I’m with Chris, I feel like I’ve known him for a while. I feel comfortable with him.” But then again, “Athletic, adventurous, poetic, romantic.”

Chris: “She’s got an arm! She can hit! This is perfect!”
Des gives Chris a piggy-back to their picnic. Wow, she’s strong.

Des shows Chris some drawings “she” made of Chris. (“She” = production)
Chris: “Let’s go meet the fam.”

    Andrea Lavinthal ?@andilavs 2m
    Des just called Chris poetic. Somewhere Zak is sobbing into a palette of watercolor paints. #bachelorette

    RealitySteve ?@RealitySteve 4m
    Even Roberto is thinking this hometown date playing baseball is a bit much.

    Ashley Elgin ?@BachelorExpert 4m
    Will we make it through a date without poetry? That is the question. #Bachelorette

    RS is not without rumors this evening…
    RealitySteve ?@RealitySteve 42s
    Chris says the last time he brought a girl home was a year and a half ago. Ummm, not true.

    William Holman ?@WilliamFHolman 3m
    im glad she named who was who in those drawings. #confused #Bachelorette

    Jaclyn Swartz ?@JaclynSwartz 31s
    I’m clearly no love expert, but I think Des should pick Chris! #Bachelorette

Evening with The Fam
Chris’s dad George gives the most pseudo-philosophical toast I’ve ever heard. Something about those that love those who love can also love them. Yikes!

George, a chiropractor, also gets the “crazy guy” theme music as he adjusts and aligns and cracks Des’ back.

BACH FACT: If any member of your family is portrayed as odd or crazy, you are also on the chopping block this week.

Chris: “I’m worried about my overprotective mom.”

Des w/ Mom
Mom to Des: “The last one hurt him bad. I don’t want to see that happen again.”

Chris & Sis
Sis to Chris: “You know I didn’t like the last one. Something from day one. Even grandma said so.”

Chris & Mom
Mom to Chris: “What happens when you get back into the real world?”
Ahh, the voice of reason!
Mom goes on: “Too many women are plagued with insecurities their entire lives. Des is not. She’s welcome to our family.” Mom tears up.

At dinner, Mom tells Des: “Chris wanted it to be you. From the airport, Chris texted us: ‘Mom, guess what? It’s Des!'”

BACH FACT: If the episode warns us that an F4’s relative on HTD is overprotective or skeptical, it’s always a rouse to set up a conflict that never comes to bear. Note both Zak’s sis and Chris’ mom both very quickly gave their tearful approval.

Chris re Des: “There’s no possible way these feelings are being expressed with anyone else. It just feels too right and too real.” Typical F2 overconfidence.

BACH FACT: TPTB often pump up the F2 with so much confidence regarding their Journey with the lead that they often make overconfident statements like the one above. It’s not that Chris is cocky; it’s just that TPTB have continually reassured him that the lead is into him. Meanwhile, they pour lots of doubt into the F1 (see: Forester, Brooks) such that either they aren’t sure of the lead (in most cases), or as in Brooks case, they aren’t sure about themselves (i.e. where they stand, what they want).

    Jaclyn Swartz ?@JaclynSwartz 11m
    Acid wash AND contrast stitching?! Hello Chris, you are in the bad jeans club. #Bachelorette

    John Wolfner ?@jwolfner 7m
    Lets forget about the nose adjustments & lets get ole sis to the dentist.

    Desiree Hartsock ?@BachelorTV 11m
    Good thing Chris’ dad isn’t a gynecologist… #TheBachelorette

    West Lee ?@NotthatAdamWest 14m
    Am I the only one hoping that the family portion of Chris’s date turns into a poetry slam? #Bachelorette

———-
HTD 4 – Brooks in SLC

Brooks continues to hold himself back from falling in love.
Brooks F1 journey or hurdle: getting comfortable with The Process (TM).

Afternoon with Brooks
While practically sitting on his lap over a picnic on a lawn by a lake, Des reminisces with Brooks about their Journey so far together by reading him her journal entry. Brooks is impressed with her hilighting “the little things”.

They hop into a ready-and-waiting canoe on a lake and quickly almost flip into the water!
Brooks: “Kinda feels like we are in a relationship and on a date on a Sunday afternoon.” Maybe that’s what Brooks has been waiting for – normalcy.

    ashlee frazier ?@ashleefrazier 22s
    Every season needs a canoe… @LesleyMurph @DaniellaMcBride @SelmaAlameri @sarahherron @clmgiudici @RobynRHoward #TheBachelorette

    Key to every season’s plot: notice who the lead is chasing…
    Robyn Ross ?@RobynRossTVG 4m
    Des acts like Brooks is the Bachelor when she’s around him, right? #thebachelorette

    Bachelor Snark ?@BachelorSnark 6m
    Wait a second Brooks isn’t head over heels in love and ready to get married after 5 dates?!?! that’s SHOCKING. #Bachelorette

    Michelle Money ?@MoneyMichelle 35s
    BROOKS BABY!!!!! I want @DesHartsock to move to UT! RT @AddisynBieber: @MoneyMichelle who are you rooting for her to pick? #TheBachelorette

Evening w/ Brooks’ Burgeoning Family
So many family members that they each are wearing name tags.
The bros make her the center of a Desiree sandwhich. Call this the Desiree Convention!

Pow-wow Des w/ Mom
Mom, questioning: “Important to choose wisely… Have you had enough time?”

Pow-wow Brooks w/ Bros
Brooks: “It feels like we have a relationship.. Loving, sarcastic, witty, looks for the best in people.”
Bro #1: “If Des were gone from my life, can you live without her?”
Bro #2: “Do you think you could make Des happy for the rest of her life?”

Pow-wow Brooks w/ Sis
Drew idolizes his sister’s relationship with her husband Jason. So he asks her what qualities he should look for in a partner & a relationship.
Sis: “Is it hard for you when you leave your partner?… Best friend… Experience life with… Do you feel like that?”

Pow-wow Brooks w/Mom
Brooks: “I feel closer to [getting to marriage] than I ever have… Walls I had put up around my heart… With Desiree, I’m pleasantly surprised by it, to be where I am at.”
Mom: “I think you are very compatible with Desiree.”

Brooks Bro 2 to Des: “Thanks for not being a huge waste of time!” ROFL!
Notice that Des & Brooks hands are intertwined. The only HTD in which Des holds hands with the guy while chatting with the family.

Tender kisses btwn Brooks & Des. Much more tender than any other HTD kisses. Sorry to Chris, Zak, and Drew, but this is Brooks’ to lose.

BTW How much does Brooks look like Johnny Depp?

    Michelle Money ?@MoneyMichelle 5m
    Real Question to @JaclynSwartz If you were stuck on an island with onl ONE of the final four who would it be? #don’tlie

Des confronts her brother Nate

As the villain music plays, Nate appears at Des’ apartment.
Nate to Des re Sean: “You were mad for a little while. You’re mad right now!”
Des: “I didn’t expect you to screw it up for me!”
Nate: “That’s how it was meant to be…” LOL.

Des breaks down the F4 for Nate –
Zak: adventurous, just like me, same outlook on life
Drew: sweetest, kind
Chris: athletic, active, good at everything, humble, excellent husband & father material
Brooks: funny, quirky, get each other without having to try to, in the moment, we have fun.

Des to Nate: “I’m worried about what you will say to the guys!”
Nate: “I’m happy that you are in charge of this situation.”

TPTB club us to death with this same theme, over and over…
Nate to us: “I guess Des is worried about how I will react to the guys.”

    Chris Bukowski ?@chrisjbukowski 3m
    Nate would destroy Drew in various ways.. #Bachelorette

    West Lee ?@NotthatAdamWest 4m
    This season would’ve been 1,000 times better if Desiree’s brother showed up in every episode to screw with the guys. #Bachelorette

    Desiree doesn’t want her brother to be as awkward and hostile as last time. But I kind of do. #Bachelorette

    Trista Sutter ?@tristasutter 4m
    Des’ brother may have been physically present during their conversation, but he wasn’t even close 2 being emotionally present #disrespectful

———-
Des chats with Chris Harrison

Chris: “3 of these guys have thrown themselves at your feet…. But you love Brooks… Has Brooks said ILY?”

Des drops another bombshell.. another Bach first!
Des: “I’m hopeful for a proposal… with Brooks!”

But then Des realizes what’s she’s done and tries to recover…
Des, half-heartedly: “But after Chris’ hometown, I’m not so sure.”

Uh, huh.

    The rooftop rose ceremony #thebachelorette @ The Beverly Hilton http://instagram.com/p/b0LtWKsGwb

———-
The Rose Ceremony (TM)

Chris H: “There are some *seriously* strong feelings tonight. That makes tonight so much harder.”

Des’ silver lame is stunning and fits her so well.

Des: “Meeting your families makes this decision so much harder.” Des tears up.

Getting Rose’d (in order): Brooks, Chris

Chris H: Final rose spiel. As usual.

Final Rose’d: Drew

Zak looks crushed. Absolutely crushed. The chipmunk cheeks get inflammed. Eyes well with tears.

Eliminated: Zak

The guys deliberate: “At this point I thought Zak had built up a pretty good relationship with her.” “I’m sure she’s having a hard time right now.” “She’s never gotten that emotional in a rose ceremony prior.”

Des & Zak chat
Des: “You of all people deserve the absolute best in the whole wide world. The ring was such a kind gesture. I don’t think I should keep it.” Des gives Zak back the ring.

The Limo Exit
Zak: “Completely numb… WTH just happened… I let myself completely fall… I thought the HTD… When I tell her I love her and she cries… Yet I’m here going home now… I don’t get it… Going back home to kind of a dark place… I tried to find love before and I just can’t find it… I really thought that this would work out for me… Now I don’t want to go back to the life I had… I spent too many years alone… I just want to spend my life with somebody.”

Defeated, Zak chucks the ring out the limo window.

Don’t worry, Zak. Something tells me that your final performance on TBette will completely turn your life around. ;)

If that limo exit wasn’t a bid for The Next Bachelor Lead, then my name isn’t Rosewise. Zak might have been honest in what he said, but it was extremely well-played. Huzaah, Zak!

Kinda like Des-to-Sean’s “you’re making a mistake”.
