Desiree Hartsock of The Bachelorette Season 9

by Gina Scarpa

 

It's the night some look forward to and others dread - The Bachelorette's Men Tell All special! The night kicks off with Chris Harrison and some Bachelor/Bachelorette favorites surprising fans at their home viewing parties. Imagine having Jason and Molly or Ashley and JP walk into your living room!


In the studio, Zak W says the experience exceeded his expectations, it was easy to fall in love, and he'd do it again. Juan Pablo, who generated a lot of screams from the women in the audience, said it was a lot of drama, but Michael says people got along more than they showed. Unless it was him and Ben. Then no.

 

Jonathan, aka creepy fantasy suite guy from the first night, apologizes for his behavior. Brian, who had the girlfriend confront him on the show, chose not to come. While Jonathan is able to own up to his embarrassing stint on reality tv, I guess Brian wasn't ready to man up.


Ben is the first to sit in the hot seat, and says he was upset about the way he was dumped and pursued Des hard. Mikey jumps in and says that you should be the same way around you girl that you are around your friends. The problem is - those guys aren't Ben's friends and he wasn't there to form relationships with them. Dan (WHO?!) says that Ben's son's mother approached him in Vegas and told him that he was a terrible father.

 

Alright, look. You can say what you want about Ben. He's a politician, he always tries to say the right things, whatever. It is amazing to me, though, that he didn't end up losing it completely with the way he was called out on national television by these guys. You just don't cross a certain line, and these guys really had no shame in trying to ruin his reputation.


James is called up next to talk to Chris to discuss the conversation in the limo with Mike where he supposedly said he was hoping to be the next Bachelor. Both James and Mikey say their words were misconstrued, but Kasey jumps in to say that you can't have a Plan B when you claim you're falling in love with someone. Juan Pablo throws his opinion out there as well, saying he would never want his daughter or sister to date James. I think somewhere in his mind, James still thinks he has a shot at the Bachelor.

 

Unfortunately James, you're on this season with Juan Pablo, who also gets called to the hot seat. Is he being prepped to be the next Bachelor? Looks like it. Everything he says about his daughter and wanting to find love has the women melting in their seats. Zak is the last to join Chris and a poem he wrote for Des is read aloud. He says he's still in love with her and he's clearly taken this breakup pretty hard.

 

Now, don't get me wrong. Some of these guys have been dramatic, rude, and ridiculous this season. When Desiree came on the stage, though, she seemed like she was looking for a fight. She called Jonathan a disgrace to all men, said Ben is insincere, goes after James for having a Plan B, and said Zak hid behind his smile. No love lost here between her and just about all of these guys, it seems.

The preview for the two night finale looks to be a doozy. There are a WHOLE lot of tears and it indicates that Desiree doesn't end up with anyone. I have been predicting an unhappy ending, much as I like Des, but something tells me the show will find a way to make it all work out in the end.
