"The Bachelorette 2013" on ABC is Season 9 of the reality dating competition series that stars Desiree Hartsock.
What do a Cuban Casanova — who is a gentle giant but might be too good to be true — a hard charging federal prosecutor, a sexy former pro soccer player who is a single dad, a free spirited drilling fluid engineer with a captivating sense of humor, a self-proclaimed Southern gentleman who also is a single father, and a suave, debonair financial advisor with a dark secret in his past
all have in common? They're all on the hunt for the new Bachelorette, Desiree Hartsock.
Desiree, 27, who grew up in a family of modest means but rich in love, meets 25 potential soul mates as she begins her own search for true love. In the premiere, 25 eligible men come from all over to try and win Desiree's heart. Immediately the drama and one-upsmanship begin. Desiree's anxiety melts away as soon as the men start to compete to impress her: Larry Burchett, a nervous ER doctor, tries to break some romantic dance moves, but he's no Fred Astaire; Nick Roy, who plies his trade as a professional magician, displays his talents to Desiree; a shirtless Zak Waddell, a hunky oil rig worker, displays an outstanding six-pack to impress the Bachelorette; and Diogo Custodio appears like a knight in shining armor — literally. But the one who captures Desiree's heart is our youngest man to ever climb out of a limousine — Ben Scott's four-year-old adorable son, Brody, who accompanies his single dad.
The battle for Desiree's attention and affection has only begun. The 19 roses come out early. Nick R. sets off a commotion as the men rush to get time alone with the Bachelorette. After Desiree gives out the first rose, a jealous frenzy erupts between the guys. Brad, who is a part-time DJ, sparkles with some hip hop dance moves. Fearless, topless Zak W. strips down to his underwear and dives into the pool. But how will Desiree react to this immodest stunt? Strikingly handsome Juan Pablo Galavis, a former pro soccer player, attempts to give the Bachelorette a private dribbling lesson. However, before too long, the rest of the men jump into the action. And Jonathan Vollinger drops a bombshell when he decides the time is right to invite Desiree into his own special "fantasy suite," which leads to an explosive reaction.
Some bachelors with early roses can relax, but the others are very apprehensive as the season's first rose ceremony begins. Finally, Desiree will have the 19 men who will move into the mansion and continue on the quest for her heart.
The "Bachelorette 2013" contestants include Ben Scott, Brad McKinzie, Brandon Andreen, Brian Jarosinski, Brooks Forester, Bryden Vukasin, Chris Siegfried, Dan Cox, Desiree Hartsock, Diogo Custodio, Drew Kenney, James Case, Jonathan Vollinger, Juan Pablo Galavis, Kasey Stewart, Larry Burchett, Micah, Michael Garofola, Mike R., Mikey Tenerelli, Nick M., Nick Roy, Robert Graham, Will Smith, Zack Kalter and Zak Waddell.
