The Bachelorette

Sean Lowe may have found true love with Catherine Giudici, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish Desiree Hartsock the best in her new quest for love.

He has an opinion on who she should pick, too: Bryden Vukasin!

Sean says he and Catherine Giudici are both big fans of Bry.

"Catherine and I watched the first two episodes. I think so far Desiree is doing a great job. Catherine and I both like Bryden, the military guy," he said.

"He seems the most normal, like a man’s man, whereas, I think at least in the first few episodes, so many of those guys were caught up in the drama already."

Does Desiree Hartsock's quest for love end with her choosing no one?

The Bachelorette spoilers have given a pretty strong indication of who the favorite is, but that doesn't mean she won't end up right where she started.

Asked recently if the guy Desiree chooses is a better fit for her than Bachelor Sean Lowe, franchise host Chris Harrison paused and then mused:

"Um, well, it depends on if she ends up with anybody."

Hence the rumor that she picks no one in the end.

"We haven't said anything about how the season ends," Harrison says, "but I can tell you that Des is in for an emotional, wild ride before we get to the end."

"It's definitely not what everybody is going to think."

Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock is looking for a man who's there for all the right reasons. Will she find him among the men remaining in the competition? 

Maybe. 

What she'll definitely find is a group of guys willing to embarrass themselves in a Mr. America pageant in attempt to win her over and prove their eternal, undying love.

At least until the next bachelor is chosen. (You can go ahead and check out The Bachelorette spoilers to see who she chooses. We don't mind.)

Let's go ahead and break down this week's antics with our THG +/- recap!

Chris Harrison arrives at Casa de Testosterone to tell the remaining 13 men they all need to pack their bags. They're headed to Atlantic City! Plus 4.

At the condo in Atlantic City, Brad gets the first one-on-one date. He, like Ben, has a son. But he's not a douchebag using his kid as leverage like Ben, so there's that. Plus 2.

The guys are all concerned that Brad is too reserved for Desiree Hartsock, that he won't be able to cut loose and show her his fun side. They have no idea!

He's relaxed and comfortable and there's chocolate! Plus 5 for chocolate!

Ben Scott may be playing a major role on The Bachelorette so far this season, from his young son on the premiere to brazenly c--k-blocking the competition.

It doesn't look like he made a lasting impression on Desiree Hartsock, however.

You don't need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you how this is going to play out. Just check out today's Katie, in which she forgets his name on camera:

Desiree Hartsock on Katie

Chris Harrison is on hand today to help host an all-Bachelor special on Couric's show (CBS Evening News, this is not), but the highlight comes from Des.

When Katie asks about the Ben Scott drama, Desire Hartsock replies "I guess there were some things that were red flags with, um, what's his name?"

Yeah. We wouldn't put money on Ben if we were the betting types (which we totally are), but you can expect there will be lots more of him this evening.

Every season needs a villain who isn't there for the right reasons.

Who will walk away with the title of Mr. America on The Bachelorette?

More importantly, who will earn roses and advance to the next week?

See The Bachelorette spoilers for more on that subject, but Monday night, all bets are off when the gang heads to Atlantic City, N.J., on the ABC hit.

The Bachelorette Season 9 Episode 4 Promo

In the fourth episode of the season, aspiring Desiree Hartsock husbands throw down in their very own Mr. America Pageant, complete with a talent portion.

Coinciding with the real Miss America pageant on ABC Sunday. Natch.

Desiree Hartsock received quite a surprise last night.

As predicted weeks ago by The Bachelorette spoilers, one of her suitors had a girlfriend back home. That, in and of itself, would not be entirely stunning.

The fact that Stephanie Larimore showed up to confront Brian Jarosinski, though? That's a new one even by Bachelorette contrived drama standards!

As a girl who was kind of into Brian (he made it through two rose ceremonies, and had a good chance going forward), Desiree was far from pleased.

Not as far from pleased as Steph, but still. Far from it.

As The Bachelorette spoilers predicted, Stephanie Larimore showed up last night to confront Brian Jarosinski for going on the show and not telling her.

According to Playboy model Steph, Brian told his GF he was going to California on business, but that they would reunite upon his return. Pretty hilarious.

Stephanie Larimore on The Bachelorette

Stephanie Larimore, 32, has appeared in ads for Coors Light, Axe, Miller Lite, Hawaiian Tropic, Smirnoff, Patron, Crown Royal, Harley Davidson, and Maxim.

She is best known, however, for being Playboy Playmate of the Month in June 2006! She's quite proud of this too. Her Twitter handle is @junebunny06!

A single mother, Stephanie called out Brian for ditching her and her son, who "looks up to" him. She derided him as a “lying, cheating, deceitful pig!”

It's Game On for the men of The Bachelorette season 9. Tonight they'll compete for Desiree Hartsock's affections over a rousing game of dodge ball. And one of them will get a special visitor.

Who will survive tonight's Rose Ceremony? Read our THG +/- recap now to find out! (Or just skip straight to The Bachelorette spoilers.)

Chris Harrison shows up at Casa de Testosterone to say there will be three dates this week: Two group dates and one one-on-one date.

There's still a lot of tension with Ben. So Bension? Minus 4 (for my terrible joke).

Chris, Brian, Drew, Michael, Brooks, Brad, Mikey, Brandon, Zack K., and Ben are invited on the first group date. None of them are impressed to be sharing a limo with Ben.

They'll be playing Dodgeball today. Here to school them in the ways of dodging and balling is a team from the National Dodgeball League. Which is apparently a thing.

The Bachelorette's Ben Scott is already being set up as the season's villain.

That doesn't appear to bother the 29-year-old Dallas entrepreneur, though.

Despite making enemies for interrupting another suitor's chat with Desiree Hartsock - when he already had a rose, no less - Ben says he'll do what he has to do.

How far will he make it? The Bachelorette spoilers shed light on that, if you want to know. But it sure looks like he's a strong contender at this stage.

Scott, who also raised eyebrows by introducing his young son to Des the first night, spoke with reporters about the heat he's taken so far this season.

On introducing Brody: "It didn't matter what everybody else thought. [I only wondered] how is this going to affect Desiree and my son's mother?"

We were pretty generous last night with our Bachelorette grade, awarding the latest episode 69 points when we easily could have docked it 1,000 for one reason alone:

Desiree Hartsock and Soulja Boy. Rapping. Together. For real.

The footage - which of course includes Desiree's suitors - is every bit as painful as you'd imagine, making us think twice about bashing that Sophia Grace video this week.

That thing is Emmy material compared to this nonsense. Watch now if you dare:
