Not that I was really expecting it but Chris's blog provides nothing. No mention of Chris and Drew's dates and his word choice seems to really close the door on Brooks. Think it tries to set up that she goes away with no-one.

I'm sorry, but Desiree loved their word game. I'm so dang confused!

Exactly. Cliffhangers have certain elements and CH knows how to play this game .

He really doesn't leave the window opened for Brooks, does he? On GMA this morning he talked about her running by all the red flags.

Because she was so in love with him, or so she thought, she either couldn’t see these warning signs, or was “running” so fast that she blew right past them.

The "so she thought" caught my eye. It makes me wonder if she does move on from Brooks, either with one of the other guys or alone? I guess it's all about what they want us to think but it's hard to see the happy ending if she's with Brooks after all this.

He doesn't leave the door open at all. Hmmm.

Des' blog:

Stay tuned next week to find out what happens with Brooks, my broken heart and the remaining men.

Is this like good cop/bad cop? For the love of Pete already.

From his [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Watching the episode, it really seems like her and Chris have something strong.
Harrison: When you watch it now, and I think Des might feel the same way, you're like, wow those two [are on a different level] than what she had with Brooks. You shouldn't have to have funny little verbs or code names for how you're feeling. You should be able to talk like adults and if the guy can't, it's a red flag. It means he's either not capable or mature, or he doesn't feel it. When you look at Chris and Drew these are articulate men. I'm not sure why it wasn't so evident to her.

That phrase I bolded sticks out to me. It seems so odd - what would he mean by her feeling the same way when you/she watch it now??? He's painting Brooks as inept but is he implying that she would only have seen via video that she had a strong connection with Chris, meaning that she didn't see it all through filming?

Chris is full of CHit . Chris wrote poems how is that different.

Wasn't it Des who made up the little verb/adjective game describing their relationship? I don't remember.

I think it was. So then I guess CH is implying that Des wasn't living up to her potential when she was with Brooks?

I think it's pretty silly to be putting down the two of them for their verb/adjective association game. Especially silly to claim that they're not mature adults for doing so.

I think it's silly for him to make a big deal out of it myself. He's not the world's authority on relationships.
