Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 - Fan Thread - Discussion #1

Boy last night was hard to watch. They were both so torn up. I don't think Brooks was that torn because he hurt her, there was more to it than that.

I am trying to figure out what happened between HTD and last nite.

HTD:
Runs up to grabs and hugs her.
Says where you been all my life and keeps kissing her.
Thinks they have a great relationship but he does forget a little when he is not with her.
Tells his mom he is pleasantly surprised on where he is with Des.
The walls he has built around his heart are coming down.
Admits he sees himself closer to a union of marriage with Des than ever before.

So 1 week later we get the emotional turmoil that we saw.

Shocked when she said I love you.
Why didn't you tell me this before
Did not want to leave her
Already misses what they had a lot
Thought she conflicted because there were other guys still in the picture. But she tells him she wanted to give him her whole heart.
Crying because he is just as heartbroken as Des and does not want to leave her.

The only thing I can come up with is the RC when Zak was let go. He started thinking maybe he could be next so the walls that were coming down went right back up. He did not know how she felt for him so he was doubting what they had. I think this turn of events made he realize that he does love her.

I think had he know she loved him things might have been different and would have given him reassurance that he needed.

Does anyone else have any other ideas about this?

Did you see Des' blog? I have no doubt Brooks returns, I am trying to gauge her feelings for him right now.

I don't know what to think.

My gut says he was telling the truth last night.
How he can go to proposing is beyond me.

I guess I think of Jason & Molly and that helps me realize how bad producer manipulation is. If they can work, so can Bres. But they need to get in the real world and try it.
My prediction for a long time future together….not so good.

Remember what you told me barb? Sit down and take deep breaths and believe san, love, sophie and the others that you know about.

Hi NM! I'm really in a state of flux. I am a Bres fan and I have not wavered that Des will pick Brooks but it's almost like I don't care either way. I fell out of love for them. The one thing I'm contemplating is how much is attributed to producer manipulation. But I seriously was deflated last night and told my DH that he'd be happy that I'm done for the season. Not because I worry about the outcome but because last night made me sick.

I hope they are able to give it a go in the real world, away from everything that is Hollywood. If they go back to their normal lives and try to work it out, I think (hope) they have a chance. I think after all of the manipulation, they would want to get as far away from that scene as possible.

Come on barb, we knew it would be bad last nite and we were prepared for it. So you can't give up now.

As their scenes played out it slowly dawned on me, I said "oh ... he's not coming back". I haven't wanted to doubt the spoilers but some of the things Brooks said. There were some pretty definitive, final statements there that you can't just flip flop on. I really hope he doesn't come back.

On another note, my Bres pictures are making me sad so I guess they're going into hiding.

I just talked to someone and here's what brings me back. Last night the Bres train had a flat tire. Tires can be changed and the whole train does not need to be trashed because of it. But, I just have to drive slower. Thanks for your reminders NM. I TRULY appreciate it because I want to feel very happy for Bres. sweet kiss

Brooks can not go from all the emotions he had after the HTD to leaving her...just can't be. If you have doubts go back and view their HTD again. He is falling in love, the walls around his heart are coming down and he is pleased how it went with his family. He said he was closer to seeing the union of marriage than he has ever been and with all he is feeling he doesn't want to see her go. He is afraid of getting his heart broken and leaves her before she leaves him. I am keeping the faith that they love each other and will work it out...through the hills and the valleys....
