Welcome to The Bachelorette Live Blog, where every Monday night I will be typing as fast and as legibly as I humanly can, sharing my thoughts in real time while The Bachelorette is on.
My name's Dave Campbell and I write the Live From L.A. blog right here at ABC.com during the week. But when Monday night rolls around I shall heed the call of duty and report to The Bachelorette Live Blog where I can be petty and unjustly critical of all the guys competing for DeAnna's affection. It'll be fun! I can do petty and critical.
DeAnna has no shortage of man choices this season - it's like Man Dim Sum up in Bachelorette Manor on the premiere night. But remember, DeAnna has to seriously eliminate the dead wood during the first week, so it's more about who's going to go rather than who's going to stay at this stage of the game. Who's going to make it through that first rose ceremony? My money is on my homeboys Eric (above) and Richard (below) - they'll make it through that first round of eliminations with no problem. I mean, just look at those dudes. Would you eliminate them on the first night? I thought not.
Got any favorites? Is there anybody you're positive will go home on the first night? Let's chat. Our party starts this Monday at 9 PM Eastern for the two-hour premiere of The Bachelorette. Come join me, I'll save you a spot on the couch.
