Desiree Hartsock begins her quest for love and ratings as The Bachelorette May 27, and we're starting to piece together the coming season bit by bit.
The Bachelorette spoilers revealed so far hint at a multitude of charming, impressive guys and magical moments for Des. But which man will win it all?
Desiree Hartsock, 26, competed for Sean Lowe's affections on The Bachelor. That didn't work out, as she finished fourth. But when one door closes ...
As he did then, the man, the myth, the one-man online oracle of TV, Reality Steve, has been digging like a fiend for the spoilers we know you crave.
What has he found out through his mysterious unnamed sources?
A lot. And his venerable track record speaks for itself at this point.
Come along as we reveal the men who will vie for the California cutie's heart - and the final four who are left standing at the end! Which one will win it all?
Follow the jump for The Bachelorette spoilers 2013!
The beautiful bridal stylist's final four fellas this season are ...
- Brooks Forester: 28, Salt Lake City, Utah.
- Zak Waddell: 31, San Antonio, TX.
- Drew Kenney: Scottsdale, AZ.
- Chris Siegfried: 27, Seattle, Washington.
Four worthy contenders. Four epically cheesy PR photos.
Following hometown dates, Desiree is set to head to the Caribbean with her final four. She'll cut the field down to three, and then two, and then one.
Desiree's Finale Rose Ceremony reportedly took place in Antigua, at The Verandah Resort & Spa, an oasis with sandy beaches and nature trails.
Bachelorette spoiler alert: Des hearts nature trails!!
Even more than that, she loves one of these four gents so hard. Word on the street is that he was the man to beat from the get-go in her mind.
So who is the one? Let's break it down by week ...
Week 1 (May 27) kicks off with the "Cinderella" story of Des, followed by the obligatory intros. The 19 guys remaining after the first rose ceremony:
James Case, Juan Pablo Galavis, Brad McKinzie, Zack Kalter, Kasey Stewart, Ben Scott, Zak Waddell, Brooks Forester, Brandon Andreen, Brian Jarosinski, Dan Cox, Chris Siegfried, Bryden Vukasin, Michael Garofola, Mikey Tenerelli, Robert Graham, Drew Kenney, Nick Mucci and Will Reese.
Week 2 (June 3) eliminations: Will Reese, Robert Graham, and Nick Mucci.
Week3 (June 10) eliminations: Brandon Andreen, Dan Cox and Brian Jarosinski.
Brian, interestingly, is eliminated earlier in the episode than the other two because, well, his girlfriend showed up. On the show. That's a new one.
It's Stephanie Larimore, a single mom and Playboy’s Playmate of the month in June 2006. He didn't even tell her he was going on the show. Hilarious.
Week 4 (June 17) eliminations: Zack Kalter and Brad McKinzie.
Week 5 (June 24) eliminations: Ben Scott, Mikey Tenerelli and Bryden Vukasin
Bryden, apparently, eliminates himself because he is "not feeling it."
He was also knowingly hooking up with what seems like his girlfriend right before leaving for the show, then resumed doing so afterward. Awesome.
Week 6 (July 1) eliminations: Kasey Stewart, James Case, and Juan Pablo Galavis.
Week 7 (July 8) elimination: Michael Garofola.
Week 8 (July 15) hometown dates elimination: Drew Kenney.
Week 9 (July 22) overnight dates elimination: Zak Waddell.
Week 10 (July 29) is the Men Tell All special. So much filler.
Which brings us to Week 11 and the August 5 season finale, where both guys show up to the final rose ceremony, one gets dumped and the winner is ...
Brooks Forester!
Yup, Reality Steve wrote weeks ago, in fact, that "Desiree has been smitten by Brooks from the beginning" and "that’s the guy she’s gonna choose."
That was in April. Now the rose ceremony is over and done with and Brooks did in fact bring it home. So Steve picked the winner before she did!
He adds that a final rose does not a wedding make: "From everything I’m hearing, Brooks Forester is not ready to be married anytime soon. Just sayin’."
Hmm. Not a very rosy (pun oh-so-intended) outlook. But anyway, it's now official. Desiree picks Brooks and as of right now, they are engaged.
So if he's not the marrying type, well, things are going to get interesting once the season ends and the tabloid feeding frenzy begins. Can't wait.
So there you go. We'll have updates and corrections for you if and when they become available, but you can pretty much take this to the bank.
In the meantime, sound off in the comments!
