Too much drama tonight about James. They had to fill in 2 hours of time, so it was a bunch of guys acting like tattling school boys and a bunch of he said, he said. Juan Pablo got no camera time the whole season and Kasey had a1on1 early on but saw no connection recently. It was a no brainer.
It looks like Drew leaves next week breaking Desiree's heart. Who knows how they script it!!

I totally agree JAG! Two hours to fill..so drama, drama, drama created. Could have been a one hour show. Seriously.
It looks like everyone is crying next week...I burst out laughing!

This show is getting tired.
They have to make drama.
It looked like there were a bunch of guys being driven away in limos for next week.

Des comes off as 1 dimensional and boring (other than being too sweet and crying). She just seems blah. Her guys all seem like jerks as well. Not a good season... :|

I don't know what happens but, Drew strikes me as smarmy and somewhat controlling.... sort of like a Jake Pavela.

I don't read spoilers but I'm thinking the previews were for the whole rest of the season. They sure made it look like she falls for Drew but then Drew wants to leave? And then she rejects the rest of the guys?! Their previews always mislead us, so I'll tune in to see what really happens.
I'm not feeling the Drew love either. There's something about him that I can't warm to. I like Brooks or Chris. And Zak seemed really fun last night. I'm surprised she kept Michael -- he always seems to be in the thick of the drama.

I think there is a sexual appeal with Drew if watching him use kissing as his way to "relate" with her! Not much else there.
I thought Zak was adorable last night and certainly comfortable with himself, plus he is really falling for her.
I still like Brooks, who seems rather simple and uncomplicated. Chris is fine...no big impression one way or the other.
Sure was glad to see James go. Now talk about "swarmy"!!!! He talked and talked and said nothing!
Des is nice and uncomplicated. She seems easy to be around and likes to have fun. At least she's not high maintenance like Emily was!
Interesting that there was not much ever said about Juan Pablo having a child.....there were at least 3 dads in this group I believe. Odd that Ben was the only one who "used" his position as a parent....

I really wanted Des to say FU to the guys and keep James. I felt like I was watching an episode of Mean Girls. What a bunch of whiny babies! They're worse than the girls. I don't really see that James ever said any so awful. I think they just really blew it out of proportion. Many, many people look beyond the relationship they are in at the moment. I remember telling my first husband once, "My next boyfriend is gonna be a cowboy!" It was a joke. I truly believe James and Mikey were just joking around and talking like guys. The others were just being crybabies.
It seems like this season is all about who the boys are going to gang up on next. They need to pay attention to their own relationships with Des and not worry so much about the other guys. I'm really disappointed in Des for not telling them that also.
Not liking this season so much.
My final two are Brooks and Chris. Chris reminds me of Danny Tanner (Full House) and seems the most down to earth. The rest of them are drama queens. I can't stand Michael. Very disappointing season. I wonder how the ratings are doing?

PS. I was really offended by Drew and his disclosure on national TV of his dad's secrets. AA is called Alcoholics ANONYMOUS for a reason. I know a lot of people in the program, and it's just not cool to break someone's anonymity. I felt he was using that and his dad's cancer (which was another of his dad's secrets--"even his co-workers don't know") to gain Des's sympathy. It seemed very manipulative and left a very bad taste in my mouth. These are not secrets you should be blabbing on a TV show. These are very private issues and I found it offensive that he would use this information in that way. I wonder if his dad knew ahead of time that his son would be outing him on both fronts?

I agree BabyJax. I think that it was all manipulation on his part to get Des to like him more. I just get a smarmy feel about him.
Brooks seems to stay out of the drama. Chris was only sucked into the discussion last night. It was the prosecutor and Kasey that were really annoying. Although, I have to say that James didn't help his cause much either.
She should have kept JP! He's just adorable!

I have a feeling JP won't have a problem finding a girlfriend after this show!

I do see a lot of good potential for the Bach. Pad in this bunch. They need some fresh meat on that show. Some of the re-peat folks they keep bringing back are getting boring.

I find myself walking out of the tv room and just listening to it from afar for most of this season because of boredom but my neighbor is all wrapped up in this season and thinks it is great so I am curious about the ratings too.
I completely understand what James was saying (even if I don't like him) and thought the other men came off as immature for making such a deal of what he said.
If Zak would stop wearing his hair in a style that is popular with 10-year-old boys around here, I might like him.....maybe I am as immature as the remaining men are.

I like Brooks - especially how he stays above the fray and out of the drama.
This is, without a doubt, the worst season ever out of the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. A lot of that I blame to producer manipulation and poor casting.

I like Brooks best now.
I don't know what Drew was thinking of when he talked about his dad. That wasn't fair of him to do that.

Absolutely! Couldn't have said it better myself, Lexie_girl! You really need to get out of my head!

I think there have been other unsatisfying seasons so I can't say this is the worst, but it's certainly not looking like one of the better ones. I think the cast of men was weak to begin with. Maybe the well has run dry.

I know we're both finding the humor in this but sometimes you do wonder don't you.
