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

I love that song I Choose You...I wonder what their song will be??? There are so many great songs that would fit for them.

I'm not sure, but that one seems fitting since it was the last song we saw them dancing to on their best ever first date according to Dez. Hopefully it won't be cheesy whatever it is. What is that song by Stefano?

Yes to Love

[atem]

So true eusebeia and everyone here. This show is about Brooks' emotional process and how it lead him to understand the depth of love he had for his Desiree. A love he tried to deny because the circumstance of that love was under abnormal conditions. His brain tried to understand it but his heart was confused until his heart felt a pain that could only be defined as love. His brain and his heart had a conversation that led to an alignment  between the two.  And now they work as one . Wholeheartedly and whole souled he belongs to
Des.

 I still think it was his head that was the problem not his heart. I thought the way he said it "In my head I think this is it .....but not my heart." was  backwards. His actions showed me a man trying to do right by everyone and make certain of how he feels and not just foolishly rush into something but unfortunately too much thinking led to not enough of just letting himself truly feel. I cannot fault him for overthinking it, I mean it is the rest of his life and someone elses after all and I tend to be an overthinker as well in my everyday life, I get so exhausted at times with thoughts. It can literally drain all feeling from you. Once he left and all the thinking was done, the feeling re-emerged and it was the feelings he had just told her were lacking when reasoning why he was so unsure.

Another thought, way early on, wasn't there photos of PI or screen caps that were of Brooks that people identified as Antigua? Or did it end up being somewhere else? I remember people saying Brooks looked like he had been getting some sun and IIRC he was happy in that screen cap. They had also had a Chris cap in the similar background. Maybe it ended up Spain or Madeira but I remember at least at beginning it was identified as Antigua....

Yes, but his hair was longer and it looked like the mansion. It was strange, because Chris S was in the exact same room, but he looked more 'tanned'. Hard to say though.

You may be talking about the ones that were shot at the mansion, and appeared to be filler filmed when they got back to the states. Brooks had color but some questioned his being in Antigua because Chris and Drew were more tanned and we didn't have confirmed SCs for Brooks. I guess we know now why Brooks wasn't as tanned, he missed his FD out to  that island for the day.

 You mean they filmed those at the mansion after everyone leaves Antigua? Or they just appear that way? If I were one of the dumpees I'd tell them where to take their filler interiew lol........then again with my contract I would have signed, I probably wouldn't have a say......

  Perfect! Loved watching that again! Des said it set the tone and could it get any better than that?

LOL! I'd feel the same way, and yes, I believe it was thought they were after the FRC. Seems I remember comments about how happy Chris looked. If someone knows differently, please set it right.

Ahhh...Love it! Seemed so long ago and now we're on the threshold of the Finale.

I may be in a minority about this but I am more of a sappy love song gal so I'd like a big powerful ballad or something like that song someone posted a couple days "A Thousand Years" though maybe not since apparently that song is already associated with a couple other Bach couples....someone said a tribute was done for Emily/Jef with it and I remember Sean danced to the song on DWTS in a tribute to Catherine. Maybe that Coldplay song Barb mentioned "Fix you"

In all honesty though, as long as Bres are the ending I will deal with whatever song given whether it is the a beautiful ballad, Andy Grammer song or Hokey Pokey, I just want the Bres ending.
