General Blogs About The Bachelorette 9 - Desiree Hartsock - Discussion

Ali isn't too bright.

Desiree's time with James was weird. She was flirty and kissing him, but body language was totally withdrawn.

rosewise just read your blog excellent reading. Have 1 ? when Des presents JP his rose she askes him in spanish if he will accept this rose & l thought (correct me if lm wrong) he always answered her back in spanish in a soft voice but l could b wrong will have to re-watch ep to see.

My recap is up :) Not as much fun as Bee's or rosewise's but hey, I am no writer!

Hi DK, thanks for your kind compliments!  Yes, at each RC, Des offers JP a rose in Spanish, then JP accepts the rose in either Spanish or Portuguese (the latter if he's from Brazil).

Just an aside:  wouldn't it be funny if Juan Pablo actually goes by JP IRL, but TPTB had him go by the more formal Juan Pablo on the show, so as not to confuse him with Ashley's Original-Recipe JP, and to emphasize his Latin-ness?  I imagine the dude with a thought bubble, "Man, no one's called me 'Juan Pablo' since the 3rd grade!"

He speaks Spanish, not Portuguese and his friends & family call him JuanPa, not JP

Sophie your recap was great! Love the tweets. I'm actually ignoring them and concentrating the show so it was fun to actually read them now. I cracked up at Dana's tweet about checking Michael's blood sugars. Good stuff. All of it!

Did anyone see this blog/vid of a viewing party?

What gets me is all the complaining about no Juan Pablo and no one posts on his thread!

Loved it! Thanks for the fun lunch break. I enjoyed reading all those tweets in context with the date. Really funny stuff here.
