Episode 5 - 6/24 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion - Spoilers

Stephtweets was at the Dodge Ball game taping and Brooks was very popular with the crowd too. As was Chris.

errr.... why are we talking about Ep3 in Ep5? I am confused!

Oops! You are right! In fact, I was asking about Bryden's telling her something at the cocktail party or whatever in the wrong epi too!

So many threads going, I guess confused at times :)

From people who were around during the pre-season sleuthing, the girlfriend thing leaves a pretty bad taste whatever the truth may be.

I just find him quite dull compared to many of the others I'd rather see Des spend time with and he's not attractive to me at all. I agree she seems to like him but I don't really find they have the kind of chemistry she seems to easily have with many others so I'm not sure why.

The finger was not what I was referring to. Instead, while I watching I was questioning how he could be the F1 when they seemed to capture all of his poor athleticism in the game. I'm sure that, at some point, he had some good moves and throws, but why would they edit him so poorly? Many of the other guys right next to him were obviously strong athletes. I just didn't get it!

All the guys were getting pummeled in practice, they just like to show Brooks a lot on camera (Thank-you from me on that). I think that's all it was. I thought he looked cute trying and failing to dart away from the throws. Also probably setting up the injury later in viewers minds. Because I can't help but keep an eye on him I actually think he looked quite good in the game and was second last standing to Chris.

It's probably that contrary thing going on...You want what you can't have!

I watch with my 21 year old daughter who's unspoiled. She thinks Bryden is f1! And she likes him, too (because he's kind of quiet).

me, too....just not happy that he had to interrupt Chris' date to do it

I wonder how Des will take his departure and if there'll be a Chris/Des comforting  scene.

I wonder, too.  And in that event, it's not a bad thing for Chris, to become the comforter.

, piper, I had visions of an actual "comforter" going through my head  

joking aside, perhaps it is producer-driven....so that if Des needs comforting, she'll have Chris to turn to.

count me in Ladies..!!..i would love nothing more than having Chris as my personal comforter, 24/7, either summer, or....... preferably on winter!!....ahemmm!! :Flirty:
on a serious note, a producer-driven comforter had always been F1: cough2 JP and Jef, who happened to be exactly on ep.5 too..so IDK what to think, since i prefer him as MY comforter, Not Des!...........

Do we know for sure (or think we know) who the comforter is when Des is crying so hard?

No, we don't know who the guy is yet.

Bryden and Ben gone in the same week...that will be great. There is something distasteful about Bryden's story, I could never figure out what Des saw in him.

Seems this episode he tells something to Zack K, because he asks Bryden if he's told Desiree yet.
