Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #1

[richmondrose]

I don't know if this is a real twitter account or set up by a poser:

brooks forester ‏@foresterbrooks 10 May
Utah bound can't wait to be back

Usually the F1 stays behind for a number of days after The FRC to spent some more time with the lead. Either Brooks is not the F1, the account is false or it's a red herring to keep people guessing.

also, i looked this up and dont understand entirely but..

when you deactivate your account, you have 30 days to reactivate it before it goes into deletion. so that is why there are no tweets, etc. much like kasey's twitter. it was wiped clean. however, i'm not 100% sure if that 'brooks_forester' is still brooks or if someone else tried to grab the username. i already know that kasey's twitter is for sure kasey via his instagram and fb.

Yep. I was thinking that after the 30 days were up, it got deleted. Then someone made a twitter account using that name. (It was not Brooks), which is why no tweets, background, pic, etc. of Brooks.

So yeah, I wouldn't be too trusting just yet until there is more solid evidence. Plus I think eventually we can try to confirm with Tyler (I think that is his name).

I've found on a pc of paper here on my desk that his FB - brooks.forester.1 and twitter - Brooks_Forester but not sure if correct thou.

Just a reminder from someone that knows Brooks. It doesn't mean he's right for Des, but just a reminder. He's most likely not going to be the 'Tierra'/Kalon of the season, if there is any.

For me personally I don't care who RS likes or doesn't like. I form my own opinions about the contestants whether they are fan favorites or not. Usually, I disagree with his critiques. At the end of the day these contestants are human beings. I would rather lift them up and focus on their positive qualities. Just my opinion.

Everything I have heard about Brooks has been positive.

Thank you for that- sometimes people think that just because they are on a computer they can say whatever they want because they are somewhat anonymous and forget about social norms of kindness. These are still humans with feelings- its really hard to judge someones character based on a picture.
I'm excited for everyone to meet Brooks, he is quite creative, thoughtful and funny and will be the guy everyone in the house gets a long with and loves. And I have to say I've been reading for a while keeping tabs but not posting but I just had to speak up, especially after he was being compared to Kalon -while they might have some similar physical traits their personalities are polar opposites. And you know how some really attractive guys just become ugly after you get to know them and their either dull or arrogant personality? (why I cringed about the comparison,) Well, the exact opposite will happen when you all get to "know" Brooks!
(Going back to my hiding place now )

dmom -- you are exactly correct, and thanks for speaking out!! I cannot imagine being judged just by my picture or (even WORSE) simply by hearsay from people who don't even know me. Unfortunately, that seems to perpetually happen here...I suppose that members are just excited about Desiree's season and tired of Sean's...but I agree that it is completely unfair. I look forward to "meeting" Brooks when the televised season begins. Only then will I choose to make a judgment and, even THEN, who knows what the editing will bring?!? Thanks for providing a real life description of Brooks!!

Tyler,

If you see this, is Brook's twitter back up yet?

[atem]

Yeah, this was originally his: brooks_forester

Twitter on 3/7/2013

I'm not getting something. Drew's twitter and Instagram have been up the whole time. Brooks twitter WAS up and then suddenly, it wasn't. Why delete it? Plus, can't the producers just put it back up for them again and just keep it blank until they let him?

[california90]

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Some contestants chose to keep social media up and some deactivated. I think the social media thing deactivation is encouraged, but clearly not enforced.

There was no "sudden" with Brooks twitter going in and out of activity. That SC was from March 7th, before the show even started filming. When you deactivate your twitter account, you have 30 days to reactivate it or else it is automatically deleted. Brooks was gone for over 30 days, his account got deleted, therefore you can't read any of his old tweets and everything pretty much wiped clean.

It was up during filming, because I remember looking through it.

Brooks twitter was up? I remember checking it a couple times and it showed that it wasn't found all the times I checked.

When RS revealed Brooks as a contestant, he said both Brooks's Facebook and Twitter account were already deactivated, but he had links to them. Where did you see his account active atem? I don't remember that.

Yes, when we first learned of him I looked at his twitter and generally read them. At the time, I didn't think of doing any screecaps , but that's a lesson for us sleuths for next time!

Wonder how many fake accounts will be popping up. Some people still think Desiree has a Facebook.

[atem]

Maybe, it's how I looked it up? I didn't use twitter.com, I used topsy.com/twitter/brooks_forester

edited to add

I could have sworn I looked who he was following.
