‘The Bachelorette’ spoilers: Bryden Vukasin defends himself over leaving Desiree Hartsock
So why did Bryden Vukasin really leave “The Bachelorette,” and is it in some way more scandalous then what we saw on Monday night’s new episode? While this may sound like a pretty boring episode, the reality here is that the answer is really rather boring: He just wasn’t that into her, and we don’t see anything wrong with that, just like it may not be a good situation to go to the “Women Tell All” special just so that Desiree Hartsock and Chris Harrison can try to crucify him.
Tuesday morning, Bryden called into VH1’s “The Gossip Table,” and basically said that he had a hard time handling all of the other guys all dating Desiree at the same time that he was, and so he stopped seeing her in a romantic light. As for why he interrupted a date that Desiree was having with Chris in order to do it, he explained that he really was not going to be given very many other opportunities. Even if he went on a group date, for example, there was not much of a guarantee of alone time at all.
Bryden could not go into too many details because of his contract, but we personally believe that production also thought that this maneuver was a great way to boost drama at a time when there wasn’t much happening. In that sense, it totally worked. We just don’t really see that situation as that much of a big deal, since it may not have been until after Atlantic City where he realized that the feelings weren’t quite there.
Oh, and for all of you ladies out there that liked Bryden, he insists that he is single.
Do you really buy Bryden’s explanation? If you want to see what Ben Scott and Michael Garofola have to say about their horrific two-on-one date from this season, you can do so over at the link here.

I can relate to Bryden completely. If a relationship isn’t nurtured, it will stagnate, wither, and die. And Des was very much aware of this. You will recall she took pains to nurture her relationship with Brooks.
After that first date with Des and no follow-up from her, the relationship with Bryden did exactly as it could have been expected to do … stagnate and die.
I further believe Bryden’s leaving the show did not come as a shock to Desiree; if in fact it wasn’t exactly what she wanted. She just didn’t want to be the one who took the blame for his leaving. He had told her the week before what he was feeling and thinking. She knew what was on his mind. She knew what she could have done to rectify the situation … BUT she chose to do nothing. She did not give him one more minute of time … one minute of nurturing … which was really all he needed. Any claim she makes to the effect she felt a real connection with Bryden is a bald-faced lie.
Further, any normal … repeat, NORMAL … man is going to have great difficulty forming deep feelings for a female who is still playing Backseat Bingo with multiple other men. And a genuine commitment is out of the question.
Bryden was the only grown mature man there. He was in complete control of
his emotions, and was the only man still thinking with a clear head. And he had
the stones to take action based on a valid assessment of his situation. Desiree
definitely lost serious points with me this week. It’s quite clear she isn’t looking for a grown flesh and blood man … she’s looking for a Prince Charming and a Cinderella lifestyle. She’s 27 going on 16!
I vote for Bryden to be the next Bachelor. The maturity he demonstrates is a
breath of fresh air for a show that has long gone stale.
