"Well, that was a rather dramatic week on The Bachelorette - we had everything from a shock girlfriend arrival to a broken finger to one suitor sobbing his heart out (bless). But as the crowd thins a little we&amp;#039;re starting to get a better handle on the guys - hurrah! Read on for our winners and losers - and let us know your favourite by voting in our poll! This Week&amp;#039;s Winner  Chris (\u2191): We&amp;#039;re a fickle bunch, and we have no shame in admitting it. It&amp;#039;s just as well, because Chris jumps from middle of the pack last week (our only comment about him was: &amp;quot;Um...&amp;quot;) to our favourite of the week. The impressive thing about this is that he didn&amp;#039;t even have a one-on-one date in which to make an impression - instead, he wisely used his group date time to steal Des away to a rooftop for a private chat. They dangled their feet together. It was adorable. And then he got the rose and a private Kate Earl concert with Des, and it was all &amp;#039;quite romantic&amp;#039;. Nice work, Chris. Top Contenders   Brooks (\u2193): Brooks drops from being the winner last week, but he&amp;#039;s still up there. I mean, it helps that he gets the sympathy vote for his broken finger and all his weak proclamations from his hospital bed. And then he turned up at the group date after party clearly massively hopped up on painkillers and totally out of it, providing some much needed comic relief. But did anyone spot how quickly Desiree rushed to his side when he was hurt? Hmm... Bryden (\u2194): We&amp;#039;re still not sure about how much chemistry Desiree actually has with Bryden, but every week he has one super sweet moment in which we&amp;#039;re won over for about five minutes - enough, at least, for him to stay high in our rankings. This episode, it was his cute group date conversation in a tree with Des - in which he&amp;#039;s more than happy to kiss her once she gives him the go ahead. And it seems Des is definitely wanting some of that smooch-action. What can we say - we like shy. James (\u2191): We haven&amp;#039;t really been sure about James - all we could focus on was his, well, unavoidable burliness - but he actually showed his softer side (and won a group date rose in the process). But what really won him his place in the &amp;#039;top contenders&amp;#039; pack - aside from the fact that he and Des were sweetly giggly together - was that he gave her a daisy in exchange for the rose (and then fretted because he picked it: &amp;quot;I hope I don&amp;#039;t get in trouble&amp;quot;). Cute. Juan Pablo (\u2191): Now, call us shallow, but we&amp;#039;re only following Desiree&amp;#039;s lead here. Basically, she cannot get over the fact that Juan Pablo is a hot, Spanish-speaking smooth-talker, and neither can we. Given that he spent most of their film date with his tongue down her throat and &amp;#039;accidentally&amp;#039; dropping popcorn on her bosom, we&amp;#039;re not convinced this is a relationship that will last. But, as Desiree said on night one: &amp;quot;Mm mm mm.&amp;quot; (Also: Zak teaching Juan Pablo to speak with a Southern accent was a real highlight.) Middle of the Pack   Ben (\u2191): Controversially, we&amp;#039;re not too keen on sticking Ben in &amp;#039;Trailing Behind&amp;#039; this week. Now, this doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily mean that we agree with his behaviour but right now his detractors are so irritating that we&amp;#039;re almost backing him by default. And hey, we loved it when Emily Maynard&amp;#039;s suitors chased after her in the streets - how is Ben sneakily grabbing a secret drive with Des any different? Plus, it&amp;#039;s not like Des is being held hostage - she seems to like him. Brad (\u2193): Hmm. We&amp;#039;re not sure whether Brad should be in here or in &amp;#039;Trailing Behind&amp;#039; following his revelation about that whole &amp;#039;domestic violence&amp;#039; hoo-ha with his ex. But he genuinely seemed like a nice guy, especially when he was talking about his son. We&amp;#039;ll give him the benefit of the doubt this week (though it was such a close call) but we&amp;#039;re keeping our eyes on him. Drew (\u2194): We had high hopes for Drew, but we just haven&amp;#039;t had enough time with him lately. If he&amp;#039;s not careful, he could end up falling behind. Kasey (\u2194) Oh, Kasey. In your defence, you&amp;#039;ve stopped speaking in hashtags. And you really did seem quite sweet on your date with Des. We&amp;#039;re actually starting to kind of like you. But after a disastrous date where pretty much everything goes wrong and you essentially get a rose out of pity, we just can&amp;#039;t bump you higher. It doesn&amp;#039;t help that Des has been blogging that she isn&amp;#039;t sure if there&amp;#039;s anything between them. Get it together, Kasey - we just started rooting for you. Zack (\u2194): Zack won one of the dodgeball games, which goes in his favour, but aside from that he was pretty absent. So, meh. Zak (\u2193) Hmm, we&amp;#039;re so up and down about Zak. We just don&amp;#039;t know how we feel about him. Mind you, he did try teaching Juan Pablo a Southern accent which was really great. And also, he was so cute with Des when he admitted he tried to kiss her and utterly failed. We&amp;#039;re still on the fence about Zak. Trailing Behind   Michael (\u2193): Right, Michael - we liked your snark last week so you stayed out of &amp;#039;Trailing Behind&amp;#039;. But we&amp;#039;re getting kind of bored with your pathological obsession with Ben and his actions. See also... Mikey (\u2194): Mikey is even worse than Michael in all of this Ben drama - he seems so utterly focused on this to the exclusion of everything else. He deserves a punch in the face, Mikey? Really? Seriously guys, you&amp;#039;d better start focusing on Desiree instead of Ben quick sharp, or you&amp;#039;ll be out the door. Gone This Week   Brandon: Oh, Brandon. Our hearts broke a little when Brandon was shown the door by Des - she even had to do the old &amp;#039;run after him to explain&amp;#039; bit. We really hope that Brandon is okay because he seemed utterly torn up about Brian leaving a single mom. We&amp;#039;re not surprised that Des sent him home - when he told her he was falling in love with her (really, Brandon?) she might as well have laughed nervously and done a eyebrow raise to camera - but we like Brandon and hope he finds someone nice soon. Dan: Basically all I know about Dan is that he split his pants getting on a horse. So probably not a huge surprise he got sent home. Brian: BYE BRIAN. You can take your creepy similarity to Jake Johnson with you when you leave. But thank you for the whole &amp;quot;throwing rocks at your face&amp;quot; exchange...
