And Then There Were Three (*** Spoiler ***)



"My name's DeMario Jackson, I'm an up and coming actor, I wanna be like you, I want everyone to see me on TV..."

It took a while, but DeMario got his wish, sort of. He's not the next Jon Hamm but lots of people have seen him on TV. Just one more example of my belief that pretty much everyone who goes on this show now has fame, not romance, in their sights.

With that, Rosebuds, I'm back to do a (tiny little bit of) Bach'ette blogging. We're in the home stretch, with Fantasy Suite dates tonight, and I find that I don't care that much. (Note: here comes the spoiler.) Based on everything I've read at various locations around the internet, Bryan is almost certainly the "winner" of this season and is currently engaged to Rachel. Even if I hadn't read what's being said online, Bryan's one-on-one date with Rachel in Geneva made it pretty clear that he's her favorite, which was reinforced even more when she "bought" him that expensive watch. (No, Rachel didn't really buy the watch. Breitling provided it as part of a promotional deal with ABC.) The show tried to create controversy and doubt with Bryan's potential-mother-in-law-from-hell during his Hometown Date, but there's not much doubt that Bryan is the winner, with Peter coming in second. Does that mean Peter will be the next Bachelor? Almost certainly.

Although Dean only made it to 4th place, being sent home after a strange and unsettling Hometown Date, he's leading in the Instagram race, with 379,000 followers:

Bryan 11,500 --> 23,700 --> 45,800 --> 134,000
Peter 35,700 --> 62,400 --> 97,100 --> 252,000
Eric 6,438 --> 7,792 --> 13,600 --> 37,600
Jonathan 761 --> 927 -> 1,252 --> 3,525
Kenny 8,147 --> 10,000 --> 13,600 --> 22,500
Dean 18,400 --> 40,300 --> 105,000 --> 379,000
Josiah 5,433 --> 7,442 --> 10,900 --> 15,600
Blake E 6,551 --> 6816 --> 7,125 --> 7,585
Lucas/Whaboom 12,100 --> 13,200 --> 14,700 --> 17,000

These numbers show the progression from May 30 to June 6 to June 21 to this afternoon.

Dean's numbers will undoubtedly continue to grow, because after The Bachelorette, he went to Paradise:


That's all for now, Rosesbuds. (As you can tell, my heart's not really in it right now.) Fantasy Suites are tonight, next week is the Men Tell All episode and the big finale airs in two weeks on August 7. Meet me back here soon, same Bach time, same Bach channel.
