4. Zak Waddell: San Antonio, Tx, 31 or 32, works as a drilling engineer for AIP Inc. B.A. from Texas A&M, Masters from Univ. of Dallas. His Facebook and LinkedIn page have already been shut down. Dammit. Although here he is showing off his balancing skills:

His LinkedIn page has been shut down. Here’s a link to his hospital page. Here was an article written about him in the Sonoma news earlier this year. The first picture is most recent from his LinkedIn page, but the others are from an old MySpace account that are 5 and 6 years old. Sorry dude. These pictures probably aren’t doing him much justice. Added (3/15): Larry has a child from a woman that he never married, who lives in LA with the mother. Not sure if it’s a boy or girl, but he doesn’t see his kid all that much.

This rocket scientist even tweeted a picture of his plane ticket from NY to LA this past Monday. Gee, don’t make it too obvious. He has as much business being on this show to find a wife than I do. I’d be shocked if this guy isn’t the one most disliked by the other guys in the house. But hey, any guy that has a highlight video of himself set to Chumbawamba’s greatest hit, you gotta love.

I hope to God this guy came out of the limo rockin’ Beats by Dre headphones and scratching turntables. And oh yeah, he has a son named Mattex with a girl named Brittnee Nelson, whom he never married, and she works at Twin Peaks in Colorado. She’s on the right:
I’m sorry. You know I’m NEVER one to pre-judge, but this guy has player written all over him. Actually, let me correct myself. That’d be “PLAYA” in all caps and in a diamond encrusted chain wrapped around neck. Holla!

He’s part of the “Good Fellas of Baltimore” which are a group of entrepreneurs that do charity work and help families in need. And I guess have their own little reality show online every week. Also looks like he’s done some modeling (even in his underwear) under the name “Brian Bloom.” Was on the Blue Team in the dodgeball game.

13. Brandon Andreen: 25 or 26, Minneapolis, MN. Account Executive at US Internet. Had a nice mugshot 5 years ago for driving after his license was revoked. Oh hey, lookie here, another model. His Twitter page is still active as well. Was on the Red Team in the dodgeball game.

And in that 5th picture, you know it’s ok to have a burger once in a while, right? Plenty more pictures on Google of him. Have at it.

19. Will Smith: He’s from Chicago, he’s of African-American descent, and I believe he’s employed by Chase Bank. I don’t have any pictures of him yet since I really haven’t looked. He doesn’t make it very far anyway, so unfortunately, he’s not all that important to me. And yes, because of his name, the guys in the house referred to him as the “Fresh Prince.”
___________________________________________________
20. Robert Graham: 30, originally from Arizona (graduated from Arizona St. University), but currently lives in LA. Goes by “Bobby.” Great. Another guy whose name starts with “B” on this season. Was that a prerequisite or something? He’s the guy on the first night that doesn’t remember ever meeting Desiree even though she knows she knows him because he used to hook up with her roommate.

ok zack lattler is definitely in my f4..possible chris siegfried, but i want to wait and see the rest of the profiles.. zack for sure though… idk how des feels about divorce and kids, but im reluctant to pick any of the others bc of that.. we’ll see!

I second that we should keep our predictions for Des’s final four in this column, mainly because it will be much easier to find this column rather than having to keep clicking on “older columns” to find it. This one will always be under “Des’s Guys.”
I know all the guys aren’t posted yet but so far Zack is in my top 4 as well. If I had to pick a second and a third I’d pick Chris and possibly Kasey- not so much for his looks but because he seems like the adventurous type and I can see Des liking that. I’ll wait and post my final F4 predictions once Steve has them all posted. It will be fun to see everyone’s opinions on who they can see Des with! Great idea, lucky, karyn, and kasey!!! (sorry if I left anyone out)

My first impression is that the majority (almost all) of these guys seem like overly absorbed playboy athlete model types. Pretty slim pickings. I’m guessing most of them are not in this for romance. This will be 180 degrees from the last show. Although frankly I never thought Des was many levels above shallow and not heavy into academia or deep thinking so maybe these guys are her type, but looks like a lot of testosterone driven drama.

March 26, 2013 at 12:11 PM
My picks so far (subject to change before the deadline) are Zak, Zack and I’m going to throw in Brooks.

I don’t think a criteria for this show is brain matter! But having said that, my thus far picks are Zack Kalter, Brooks and Brandon in that order. But I am sure to adjust this as their personalities emerge.
Des is a cute, lively, happy type person which is why Sean, the dud, was just not her match. Hopefully one of the men listed or those to come, will compliment her.
Because Catherine showed herself to be very spontaneous and fun, can’t see her lasting with bland, boring Sean. Perhaps she thought him to be a step up financially. But opposites are supposed to attract…we shall see!

Subject to change, of course:
Ben
Dr. Larry
James

I completely agree with everything kasey said especially regarding Zack Kalter, but I’ll go a step further & say I’m putting Zack K as the F1. I haven’t nailed down all my choices yet, but he’s definitely got that top spot in my mind, no question. He’s a cutie & seems funny (at least from the one video we saw) & down to earth. I can’t see another guy topping that & moving into my F1 spot. None of the other guys really caught my eye for Des at all. They all seem like total dumb jocks or dumb jerks or both in some cases, but to be fair it is hard to tell from just pics & short bios of course. We shall see…
Steve will tweet when he has all the guys posted, right?

My top picks so far:
1. Zack K.
2. Kasey
I think Larry is cute, but no evidence of him making it past the first night. 🙁
James and especially Brad seem like player, fratboy types.

I’m going to pick very scientifically and choose the four oldest:
Zak Wadell
Larry Burchett
Juan Pablo Galavis
Mike Garafola
Final two will be… Larry and Mike
oyoung1117
April 9, 2013 at 10:11 AM
My final four right now would be:
Zack K.
Brooks
Larry…
and one of the guys yet to be announced. I hope we get some more announced before the 12th!

My final 3 were: Kasey, Zack K., and Brooks. But I’ve actually seen Zack K’s facebook go in and out of activity..so assuming that might indicate he’s already home. And his sister has an instagram pic of the children’s book being finalized..also might indicate he’s home to help finalize it. Not sure but just speculation. So I guess its down to Kasey and Brooks for me (until we get rest of the guys up)

April 11, 2013 at 9:51 AM
From the guys we know of so far, my final 4 choices are Zack, Kasey, Chris, and Brooks. Zack was my favorite for her, but like mella, I’ve heard the same thing about Zack’s FB page going in and out of activity, so I’m not sure if that means he’s been eliminated or not.

I know the cutoff for this is tomorrow but is there a specific time it needs to be done by? I won’t have access to a computer tomorrow until probably around 4pm-ish (central time) and would like to read RS’s latest column before making my final final picks. However, if that can’t be done then I’ll go with what I’ve already posted…..Brooks, Zak, and Zack….in no particular order.

I’ve never commented before but I thought it would be fun to post my final four picks (I read the comments pretty often and saw that’s what you guys were doing)
My final four (in no specific order):
Brooks
Zak W.
Mike
And Chris
Good luck everyone!

3/4. Not too shabby. Excited to see if it is indeed Brooks as her final. He was my favorite. And Drew is pretty good looking too.

Zak W. is awesome. How could you ever have a bad day with him around? Positive vibes just radiate from his smile. Love those dimples too. How can she not pick him? Whoever he ends up with is not going to be bored. I think he would be great as the next Bachelor. A few of the girls would probably walk away voluntarily the first night because they would be scared off by his unconventional personality, but that would make great TV!!!! I’d love to see how crazy that show could get. I wish I was younger, because I would probably stalk this guy. lol
