Bachelorette 9 - Filming Schedule - Discussion

Thanks atem.
It's amazing how all ppl here are watching the show with different eyes the scene TPTB shows us. For the boat scene, my first reaction was "OMG, trying to do a romantic gesture, he was close to a complete failure!".
We are speaking about facts and words only during HTD to understand why CH said HTD were pivotal.

TPTB show only what they want for us to see that fits their story line. Many things get cut and are on the editing floor. I thought it was a great HTD and Brooks didn't want her to go. Evidently we all see what we want to see. :Nod:

True. How weird to say Brooks fam was reserved? Des called their energy outta this world. Look how Brooks' teased Des before she left about not making this a waste of their time and they all laughed including Des. They were the least reserved.

Also when Des entered and the brothers came to gather to give her a group hug.

Well this covered one the the adjectives..spontaneous :)

nutty1 wrote:My opinion is that ways Brooks has "shown love" is very subjective, not at all objective, as we can all perceive that in different ways. I think more concrete evidence is screen caps and seeing what comes out of their mouths.
I also put a lot of weight in the spoilers, though I know they are not 100% guarantee. Especially having different sources saying the same thing adds weight to the spoilers.

Also, I think lack of screen caps cannot totally rule something out (ex…Brooks having certain dates).

I think they read this board, I think they are doing what they can to keep people guessing and talking, and I think it is working.

You've got to admit that Brooks leaving fits with what we do have - Des saying she's heartbroken, it's over, & wanting to go home; her being upset & crying at the F3 RC; Chris & Drew both having FD & LCD SCs; having the MTA before the F3 episode; plus them showing Des saying she's in love with Brooks so early; the FD description that only has 2 dates in it........

There is so much discussion about when the FRC actually took place, and I realized I should have left in the date that Reality Steve said it was.

At this time I am not ready to confirm the following, but my gut tells me Brooks will end up being the F1.

5/18-25: Our poster, Nikikass, was at Verandah where she talked with a housekeeper who sd Des looked sad while there.
6/24: Sophienette posted that she is the 4th to confirm Brooks as F1

I just posted this in response to another post in the Brook's thread, but it fits here better

This has bothered me since the 2 FRC dates

- Desiree was back on the 11th based on the tweet she fav'd about Target and her own tweet that she was back.  It was around 2pm.  She then went out with Daniella on the 12th.
- If the FRC was on the afternoon/early evening of the 8th, followed by the party with Production like most couples say happened, that leaves the evening of the 8th and only the 9th for time with her F1.  All the couples have said they had 3 days or so afterward - why so short for Des? To be home by the afternoon on the 11th, she left on the 10th.  The shortest flight I found from Antigua to LA is 12 hrs and there are much longer ones.
-  Add the tweet on the 7th asking if that was Chris Harrison on the flight from Antigua to Miami.  That sounds legit and he would still be on the island for the FRC if it hadn't happened.  He didn't tweet at all on the 6th (poss FRC day) or 7th (poss travel) but was tweeting up a storm on the 8th.  

I can't wrap my head around it being on the 8th and believe it was the 6th.

It is possible that is was the 6th after all. What you posted makes good sense.

Banging head.

Ha. I know how you feel Kasha.

I haven't gotten into the date of the FRC discussion so not sure why the head banging.  

Isn't Wetpaint usually just repeating what RS says? The 6th makes more sense to me.

Not sure.

There are a heck of a lot more crazy posts on this board to warrant that. Today has been tough.

Yes Wetpaint is like an echo of RS. So no surprise there.

yriemommy showed a nice breakdown of how the 8th would be a stretch for all concerned after there were a large number of posts claiming a second or subsequent FRC. Kasha had already worked that out in the begining of the season I think prior to RS spoiling the date. But is was nice to see a well thought out reasoning as well.
BTW if you missed it the FRC location that RS spoiled is wrong as per a SC from today. It is at the location that L&S magazine disclosed instead.
