Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #2

[terabithia]

I find it interesting in chris h blog that he said des started kissing guys in ep 2 but that the fireworks didn't start until ep 3? That doesn't sound like brooks was the f1 from the get go to me!

Chris Harrison says a lot of BS in interviews and his blog, he blatantly lies to sell a storyline or misdirect people away from spoilers. I don't pay much attention to anything he says, especially when he's talking on behalf of someone else (like trying to tell us what was going on in a lead's head or a contestant's motivations for doing whatever).

I suspect Des will later reveal she knew Brooks would likely be around at the end, but she had to keep her options open and date the other men. I mean, it's what she signed up for, but it also makes sense. What if Brooks turned out to have a girlfriend or he pulled a Graham and ran away?

No, and no.

I took fireworks = drama not fierworks = romantic sparks. But that is just me. Obviously if we see significant drama tonight (episode 2) then all bets are off as to what he meant.

It would make sense for Chris to say this to set up the end and to increase doubt. Especially if the first one to one date connection is as strong as I suspect it will be. Chris would say, "yeah that was nice- but episode three is where the fireworks start!" This is a perfect set up to a Chris/Brooks showdown... even if there was never doubt for Desiree.

That's what I took it as too. Likely means Des found a top prospect on date one, better start a big drama train as distraction. Ashley, who was the most obvious Bette in her singular attraction and interest in JP (to me) got the worst drama edit ever with all the Bentley stuff, so much so that it turned people off her as the lead (I just ignored it and watched for her time with JP). I don't think they'll try that again. This season looks better in that there will several sources of drama but also several strong relationships formed as well. Reminds me of Ali's (my favourite season for overall entertainment). Hopefully we get lots of great guys who have chemistry with Des to balance out the drama, but still a pretty obvious love story with a happy ending. Too much to hope for, maybe? But it's shaping up that way to me. I think Des is going to be the best.

I agree with this post particularly the potential for this season comparison with Ali's season which was one of my favs too :pinkaw: .

Except that I saw a HUGE difference in when Ali first laid eyes on Roberto when he stepped out of the limo and their initial interactions. She was totally smitten from the 1st second and actually, no one else on her season evoked a smililar reaction out of her.
Not with Des and Brooks. Did not see anything unique at all. And though the editors gave us barely 15 - 20 seconds of their interaction in the mansion, I did not see a greater reaction out of her as compared to some of the others there.

Hopefully there will be clear signs tonight that I can get on board with for the rest of the season though. Editors ....Gah !

Trying to hide the truth. What else? If I were them I'd be affronted by the people asking me so directly about the outcome.

OMG - remember Emily (F1) getting upset because RS had spoiled Chantal as the winner and folks kept talking to her about it ? These contestants must have a heck of a time dealing with rumours etc.

A person on instagram said that Desiree deleted that person's post about Brooks being Final 1. Can you do that on Instagram? Can you DM like you can on twitter?

Very strange...no you can't delete messages and you can't DM.

Thanks. I thought that was odd.

It could be that the really romantic fireworks do start in Ep 3, though, because that's when Brooks is injured which may just push Des over the edge!

You can't DM on Instagram like on twitter. But you can delete other people's comments on your picture if you so choose.

I think if we would have seen more of their conversation at the M & G, we would have seen some sparks fly between Des and Brooks Look at her face during the RC when she calls Brooks name, she didn't have that smile on her face for anyone else, so something had to happen, we just didn't see it.
