Re: The Final One (F1) - Bachelorette 9 - Spoilers - Thread #1

I'm so happy for Brooks and Desiree! Also, I don't see how he has been bandwagoned. People have been mostly hot and cold for him. And now people really bash him. It seems like Chris has been REALLY bandwagoned especially as of late. I like him too, but I'm just saying.

I think there's equal love among the F3, even Zak W. has had people rooting for him lately. We all have our own personal favorites but bandwagonning? I don't see it, at least not yet. However, I would have to say that a lot of the posters here have been liking Chris and Drew more and more and have not had the negative feedback that has been plaguing Brooks of late.

Welp, looks like another season for me where the final couple doesn't peak my interest. Good thing there are a few guys on this season I can just enjoy watching.

Sometimes that might be a good thing.. less invested and less likely to get into arguments! lol. I don't dislike Brooks - I just have other favorites and Brooks just falls behind until I see him on screen. But I'm glad I'm not super hooked onto the F1 like I was with Catherine and felt like I had to defend her. Too much energy, I tell ya! Now I just want to watch for the guys and probably feel super bad when they get rejected.

I don't see any difference in liking someone based upon pictures and disliking someone based upon pictures. Truthfully, the pictures and what is read on line are the only things 99.9% of the people are basing their opinion on. Anyone can go on a forum and state they personally know a contestant on this silly show and those reading the forum have no idea if it is true or not. Everyone can choose to believe them or not. Personally, I think BF looks smarmy. I don't care enough about any of them to actually like or dislike them. And I certainly don't know any of them. This season is keeping in line with the last two bach seasons and the last b'ette season for me. Little or no interest in the contestants.

Also I hate to see anyone compared to Jef.

The similarities do exist. I'm having a hard time ignoring them. I hope for Des's sake that he is not the phoney that Jef turned out to be.

Can you tell me what they are? Other than they both come from SLC? And maybe (not confirmed) he might be Mormon?

One of the sponsors of Brooks' bike race was People Water. http://thebrut.com/SPONSORS.php
The race coincidentally started in St. George, Utah which is Jef's hometown, and location of part of his hometown date (in his parent's St. George mansion)

This has been discussed in Brooks's thread.

Since Jef is no longer associated with PW, I find it a mute point. But if that's your reason for not liking him then go for it. I can't argue with that logic.

Oh it's definitely a good thing. I prefer not caring about the final couple. Some just hook me in from the beginning though. This season I'll happily sit on the sidelines and just watch the guys I like, just like last Bachette season. I got to avoid all the drama and hide out in certain contestant threads and not take part in the Board Wars. Stress free for me!

Yes. Lots of 'eye candy' this season!

I'd rather jump on the bandwagon of love than the bandwagon of well, dislike. That's just me.

I think the majority are fans of all final 4 at this point. It's the dislike of someone for absolutely no reason that baffles my mind. But oh well, same crap different season.

Yes! She picked a great F4 and I'm so excited for her!

Round and round it goes! I just didn't watch the seasons I wasn't interested in (Sean's included). No biggie! I can't wait for Desiree's!

The places she gets to travel and do seem awesome!

While I want a happy ending like Jash, I sure could do without the rest of Ashley's season, because I really didn't like any of the other guys. So, this will be a great season of guys this time!

Jef was very much a part of PW when the race took place in 2012.

So what? Arie knows Jef too. Why the hate on for Brooks for possibly knowing Jef.

And I don't even care that much for Brooks myself. Or Jef for that matter.

[gruder]

I am happy that Des chose Brooks. I don't understand the animosity towards him, when we haven't even met him (on screen). Des had a great group of guys, if she picked Brooks there is a reason. I look foward to seeing this play out, I think it will be romantic!
