Right Reasons

Date #1 (Alone Date) Brooks – I’m waiting for a sign…

Desiree pulled up in her Bentley to pick up Brooks for their date.  Let the jealousy begin!  She took him to a wedding dress shop so they could play dress up.  She tried on a beautiful dress and Bentley came out in a green Dumb and Dumber suit.  What a hoot!  They tried on a few more dresses and drove away in their dress up outfits to go shopping for a wedding cupcake.  After the snack she drove him up to the Hollywood sign for a snuggle on the ‘L’.  As the sun was setting, he leaned in for a stole the first kiss.  After a little makeout session she took him to downtown L.A. for a romantic dinner on a bridge.  They talked about their families and what they are looking for in a marriage.  Des asked him about growing up in a divorced family and he gave her his child of divorce sob story.  They connected over his story and she handed out Rose #1.

After handing out the Rose, they heard music and walked towards the sound to find Andy Grammar and his band.  Throughout the date Brooks told the camera how much he likes Desiree while holding back tears.  – Let’s see how long he can last without shedding a tear!

Date #2 (Group Date) Dan, Juan, Zak, Will, Brian, Drew, James, Ben, Mikey, Zach, Nick, Michael, Kasey, Brandon – Who’s here for the right reasons?

The group date started at the Malibu Rocky Oaks Winery.  Desiree informed the guys that they would be staring in a rap video with Sojaboy!  The boys showed off their skills…or lack of skills.  Soja picked his favorites and told the remainder of them they would be backup dancers.  They got fitted for their parts.  Brandon got the best outfit, barely covering his parts!  The Bachelors filmed their rap scenes while the others made fun.  All of the lines were former Bachelor lines.  I’m just hoping they show the full rap!!!

The date ended with cocktails and alone time with Des.  The shirtless guy (a.k.a. Zak) got some alone time and gave Desiree an antique journal.  She was completely impressed!  Ben and Desiree talked about his little guy during their alone time, and then he became the second guy to steal a kiss.  During Michael’s alone time he promised to her that he would have her back and standup for her.  Guy drama started when Mikey confronted Ben and told him that he doesn’t think he is a genuine guy.  Brandon filled Desiree in on his childhood sob story during his alone time.  The sob story didn’t work.  Ben received Rose #2.

Date #3 (Alone Date) Bryden – Road Trip

Desiree pulled up in the Bentley to pick up her date.  – I’m trying to figure out if this is a Bentley add or a television show???  First stop on the road trip, Matador Beach for fun on the beach.  Second stop – Orange Grove for orange picking.  Third stop – Ojai for a romantic dinner under the trees.  Bryden shared his sob story about a horrific car accident that he got into as a child.  He happened to have a couple photos of the accident that he pulled out of his pocket!  After more conversation he received Rose #3.  The date ended with a dip in the hot tub and Desiree telling him to “just kiss her”.

Cocktail Party:

Michael told Des that he has type 1 diabetes.  While he was telling his story, Ben interrupted and pulled her away for alone time.  That move got the jealousy started with all of the other guys.  Some of the guys pulled Ben outside to talk to him about their issues with him.  Ben tried to play it off as an innocent move and the guys called BS!  Meanwhile, Brian shared with Des that his last relationship ended a couple of months ago.  She seemed a little surprised!
