Could these all go together??

Then why not show the MTA after the Final 3 as usual?

I think we need to push RS's hand in why he's so adamant about Brooks being Final 1.  Does he have a picture or what?

To me that's the easiest to answer. Brooks isn't your typical F3 boot because he left on his own. If that was all it was he'd be at the MTA.  Clearly (to me) he's coming back and will end the the F1. They don't want to highlight the F2 at the MTA because they aren't really the F2 and it's leaving out the true F1. The only way to avoid that is to move the MTA up a week.

Yes I am a Drew fan but it's not like I'm suggesting Drew is the F1. I think that will be Brooks. I don't feel I'm being biased by saying Drew clearly gets a LCD by the SCs. If Brooks got other dates we won't know without more previews. The SCs showing him leaving before what has to be his FD fit with what we see Des saying in the same outfit and the F3 RC.

If Brooks is leaving, his FD would be last. Both Chris & Drew would likely have smooth dates, as they would have no knowledge of Des' reaction to Brooks potentially leaving. However, their wheels will start turning at the F3 RC when she says Brooks has left.

That opens up a whole bunch of dialogue at LCD time and that's what I believe we're seeing with Des/Drew. Especially if Des knows Brooks wants to return by LCD's. Whether or not Drew leaves ~ who knows at this point. But my guess is he wants to leave.

Okay, you're convincing me that the dates are as is.  At least what they are showing.

Is that what they did? Move the MTA up a week? You mean it's earlier than usual, or later?

[nutty1]

The MTA seems to be scheduled to be aired before the FD's and it is usually after.

I believe Brooks FD was last too..but we need a sc of their FD..Unless one of the ocean pictures is him..

[Guest]

You all do realize this makes one of the F2 a default. I wonder which one. I think the answer might be revealed by how much she fights for Drew and if he leaves.

[Guest]

All I want to know is what people are getting at, because it still isn't making any sense.  There isn't any cap of Brooks having a FD.  So, does he or not?

I think she is going to get him for their date and they fight early on and they don't have much of the date, so there aren't SCs.

This is an interesting theory, and I'll take it one step further: what if Brooks leaves, forgoing his FD because of a family emergency, but always with the intention of coming back and tells Des as much. The show will make a big deal about how he is risking time away from her and that she may forge closer bonds with the other guys and dump him upon return, and Des can still be devastated but try to move ahead. This allows them to have the F3 rose ceremony when Brooks is absent, and also allow for Des to explain that Brooks has left for a family emergency, and that she'd like to still go on the next dates. Drew sniffs out her real feelings, and thus the confrontation on the next date. This also explains Des's, "he better get down on one knee and propose after all of this" comment.

I can't remember if contestants have ever been able to leave and plan to return (other than Ed, who allegedly didn't "plan" it): I remember way back, that Meredith's grandmom died. Did she leave and come back for that or did she just leave? (Or did she stay. Egad, really, for Bob?)

[nutty1]

Meredith never left when her grandmother died.

[Guest]

Thanks. I couldn't remember. I can't believe she stuck around for Bob! I still think production might make an exception for the lead's obvious choice of F1. It's never been done before, and it would give Fleiss his "unique season" that he always goes for. And allows for a lot of drama. If, as some say, the producers really want their leads to come out of this with a love match, they'd be remiss not to let him return if it's a genuine family emergency.
