'The Bachelorette' 2013 Episode 9 'The Men Tell All' SPOILER: Desiree Hartsock Confronts James Case (VIDEO)
In tonight's episode of The Bachelorette Season 9: The Men Tell All, Desiree Hartsock confronts one of the show's biggest villains James Case before a live studio audience.
In the preview video, host Chris Harrison tells Hartsock that one of the most puzzling story lines of Season 9 involved Case. Case was eliminated in Episode 5 after Hartsock learned that he planned to become one of the top 4 contestants in an attempt to become the next Bachelor. The host said it was puzzling because the former bridal stylist spoke at length about Case and she "liked him a lot."
"There was this infamous conversation that affected you and it changed everything," Harrison said about Hartsock's conversation with Case. "Honestly it torpedoed the entire relationship. It was what led to the end."
Hartsock said she eliminated Case because she learned his intentions were not to fall in love with her, but to advance his career.
"You don't end up having a connection and then say 'oh....obviously if this is not going to work out, there's way better girls, there's other girls, things going on in my life that I can do like maybe I can become The Bachelor,'" she said of Case.
Harrison asked Hartsock if she had anything to say to the to eliminated suitor what would it be. Hartsock turned to Case and presented him with a question.
"If you had the opportunity to become The Bachelor, would you take it?" Hartsock asked.
In her People Bachelorette blog last month, Hartsock revealed that she was looking forward to confronting Case. In the blog she admitted that eliminating Case was necessary because if she kept him, it would have affected her relationships with the remaining suitors.
"It will be interesting to see what James has to say about himself at Men Tell All," Hartsock wrote. "I know I will have some questions for him!"
The Men Tell-All will also offer a recap of what happened during Season 9. It will run footage of bloopers, clips of fan parties and viewers will present questions to the cast. Hartsock will also receive advice from previous Bachelorettes, and the suitors will confront the castmates they have issues with.
ABC's The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All of Season 9 will premiere on July 22, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
