Does she mean the ATFR, because there was a FRC.

Someone posted a timeline somewhere.....was there a week between Brooks leaving and the FRC? couple of weeks prob longer than there is....but maybe one week.

They showed that he went to Idaho on April 27th and possibly left that same day to be back in Antigua to meet with Des on April 29th. So if the FRC was May 5th as some folks are suggesting, then the was only 5 days between when he supposedly left and the FRC.

i think he said he was leaving the next day to go to antigua but i'm not positive. the weird part about what ali said is i remember when brooks sat down to talk to CH or his mom & sis (i can't remember which but i think it was CH) he said something about not be ready to propose in 2 weeks. i remember thinking 2 weeks? shouldn't it have been in less than a week? 2 weeks later would be may 11th which is when des was spotted back home at target. idk. maybe brooks was just mixed up on how soon the FRC was.

So if he knew that he wouldn't be ready to do it in 2 weeks, how in the heck would he of been ready to do it in less than a week?

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.  

It is different, Chris came right out and told Des he loved her.  He didn't need the walking, skipping, jogging, running, finishline silliness.  He actually, like Drew, came right out and said "I Love You" to Des.  That is the main difference.

thanks for speaking on behalf of all Chris's renegades, Aunties.... .:Smiley: 

LOL, no worries!!  Just felt that enough is enough.  

There's a sentiment most all are probably feeling, enough is enough.

Hey friends, help me out here. I rarely read CH's blogs but this season is so wonky I actually have from time to time. This last one was so negative on Brooks IMO.

So my question is: can you remember another season where CH has been so negative on the F1 in his blogs? Because reading what he has to say about Brooks, I just can't help but say that he would never write that stuff if Des picks him.

Actually no. Chris S did not come right out and say it. He said it in a poem first. During the sit down with CH, Des mentioned that the only one who came right out and said it is Drew.

Do we know if CH and TPTB allowed themself to tell to the lead their opinion about the contestants ?

I remember Ashley with Ben's return. I still wonder if they told to Ashley the rude words he had towards her.

CH is a company man, if he's told to say things to make people think that it's truly over and they were all mad at him for it.... then that's exactly what CH will do  

you can't believe a word he says, even if it turns out to be true later... he lies through his teeth most of the time and can't be trusted. He's not a Gospel writer folks!!

Des's blogs are the ones to pay attention too

CH is one of the viewer's handlers. He suggests what should be thinking according to the current state of the episode. You can actually get a glimpse how handlers do their job with the contestants by what CH says or does .

Yes and in her blogs she has only talked about Brooks and Chris everyone..

I truly believe it was Brooks from the first date..now I Think she was comfortable with chris..but I think the bottom line it was Brooks or no one.....

I agree....i just have never seen Chris H be that negative about the F1...I mean I know he doesn't want to give away the ending but Chris is vested in this show...he wants to be the relationship guru...he wouldn't just say the wrong things to throw us off. There is some truth to his "opinions" that reflect the current state of things. I just dont think he would say those things about a happily engaged couple...he would be much less harsh about it.

it doesn't rule out the possibility though...that he is saying things to throw us off but I just don't get that feeling.

People are constantly posting that CH was less than complimentary to Cat last season but no one seems to know any details or is posting any details. I don't know since I was not on the boards last season. I can't believe he would have called Cat wishy washy or something similarly negative.

But pretty sure someone will post what CH actually said about Cat.
I don't remember him being that negative about an f1 though we have to factor in Courtney and Vienna.

Sometimes I have noticed CHs blogs and interviews also takes into consideration the current state of the couple and he slants the information he presents with that in mind.

I agree with your last statement but I guess some people don't. I know sometimes he has to hide things....but I feel like with this last blog it's like he was finally glad we saw Brooks leaving and now he can finally talk about it. To me it's like if Brooks returns and he is engaged to Des that Chris wouldn't sound so "I told you so" with how he says he tried to point out to Des earlier that Brooks wasn't as into her as she was to him. I could be wrong though.
