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

About the photos from Brooks' date: were they leaked by TB, or spectators took them and post them on line? My question is if they were deliberately leaked by TB, why? That plus "Brooks is a front runner (or the front runner) make me go hummm....., maybe he is a smoke screen to cover other front runners? You never know with Fleiss!

It is a public date to create 'buzz' for the show. Usually, they don't want people taking pics of the date. This date, they did.

The show has done it many times. Never has that person gone that far in the process to me though. I am just going off my memory.

I'm in the process of creating a banner for episode 2 (see avi thread to give me ideas) and in those pics (by professionals and not) show that Desiree is totally enjoying herself. She literally looks like a real bride!

I honestly think that most of the Bachelorettes know who their F1 will be VERY early on, and they only depart from that if it is out of their control (the contestant leaving by choice) or if they find out information about the contestant that they don't like.

So, yeah - I'm thinking it's going to be Brooks, unless something goes down in the next two weeks.

Unless someone pulls an Ed Swiderski or Frank from Ali's season, I still say it will be Brooks.

I agree. The only other thing I can possibly think of is if Desiree is somehow told or led to believe that Brooks isn't ready for marriage, either by the producers, her brother, RS, etc. And, then maybe she'll pick someone else or no one at all. But, I do still really think it's going to be him!

Oh no, I hope she just doesn't resort to back up. Since supposedly she's been smitten with him since the beginning, it would be very hard to switch her affections toward someone else this late in the game. It's the relationship that develops outside of the Bachelor Bubble that really counts, so Brooks not being ready for marriage right away is not a red flag to me. But, I do really think it's still him too!

I think it's Brooks that she picks. When someone hard as a rock and emotionally dead as a mum in the springtime like RS uses the word smitten, it's serious.

I bet we would have received a similar tweet regarding Ashley's season from him had we known earlier about JP.

I'm ready for a friggin love story! The last person who had the fist 1 on 1 and was meant to be F1 was Graham. Yeah, I wanna see something like that again. haha.

I'm just glad she fell head over heels for someone.

Ashley also told J.P.'s mom on their hometown date "I am completely smitten by your son". Wow, this word is special. :D I'm ready for a good love story too, when we see the connection develop right from the beginning. :Smiley:

I believe Ali was already "smitten" with Roberto when she was having her makeover for Style Mag in New York.

Perhaps it's one of the vocab words producers throw out there.

OMG I remember! She told the styler she had boys coming to meet with her in New York. Then when the asked her to describe the boys she did say she was smitten with Roberto and that Kasey was going to guard and protect her heart LOL.

I'm waiting for a quote or hearing Desiree say who she's 'smitten' with first.

I just don't want no Emily/Jef situation. No thanks!

[Starshine_16]

I still think she'll choose Brooks in the end.

Hopefully this season ends up with a real love story like JP & Ash.
