OTOH Chris has been shown to be tuned in to Des' feelings for Brooks, so he may figure out that her tears are way different now than they were when Bryden left.

He's a stand-up guy; I could see that. But then again we have the spoilers that he proposes, so.....

eusebeia, my source never told me anything about the FRC... only that Brooks is f1, Chris f2, Drew f3 and then the bit that they are together still and happy. I don't know what the others who have had information have been told, but I am just as in the dark as all of you how we get from point a to point b... I just trust my source implicitly that we do, and they together and happy. just a little over 8 more hours for me. thrilled

Hi I really enjoy reading your posts - they give me hope! Anyway, I just was wondering whether your source had Drew had F3 before RS changed it - because remember, RS originally had Zac as F3 and Drew leaving at F4. Did your source have the correct intel before RS?? Thanks.

I honestly don't know, I don't read RS or follow anything he says... my source informed me a few days before the start of the season, so I knew when I watched that first night... I didn't pay a whole lot of attention, hadn't paid much attention to the bachelor series for a long time. caught the first date with Brooks and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. it was after that I had to hunt down my information to get over here and started checking out the boards.

so to answer you question... I don't know when my source knew, only that I was told 2-3 days before the first episode aired. :yes:

I do think RS did not change his spoilers until mid-season when people kept pointing out to him that Drew was the Antiqua previews and not Zac so it looks more promising that your source had more logical info that what RS originally threw out there.. Thanks,

Well, I can tell you that I came back to posting when finding out that Desiree was the Bachelorette.

I was here when we were all trying to find out who the guys were, etc. and I can tell you not one source has provided any information about the finale. Not one.

Brooks' sister (Cherella...don't know if I spelt that right) posted here one time and Tyler did a couple of times while filming was going on. It was so bad that Cherella didn't come back to even read posts here.

When I heard that it was Brooks, I was happy until RS kept saying he wasn't ready to get married. It wasn't until I saw the 1st date did my attitude change about Brooks.

:cutesmile!: High clap

Happy Bresday. I have never been so happy to see Monday

This is what his sister posted about him:

am Brooks Sister, I can assure you, he is the real deal. He took a trip with myself and mother to England and France last Summer. We had so much fun during the Olympics. He was determined to have my mother head to Wales on a pilgrimage to find her grandfather's home. He is a compassionate, loving individual, and I am lucky to be his sister!

I wonder if she leaves it at the vague "two way stree explanation." I don't think they would let her give too much detail about her feelings for Brooks away even if she wanted to. (re F3 RC clip)

That's so beautiful! Well we know that even Diogo concurs about Brooks being a good guy.

Brooks was in London during the Olympics? So was I! The Paralympics, anyway.

It's nice to hear how she feels about Brooks.

I could see that, too. And I keep hoping that the spoiler about Chris getting down and proposing is wrong.

My Bresland song for the day...

This has been my Bresland song for the last few days. It's one of Brooks' and he even listened to it on the plane yesterday. To me it just feels like Bres and the lyrics are pretty meaningful:

Lola Who? by Plants and Animals
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

At the ending there's a short second part. Cool song. One of Brooks' songs I've now put on my own playlists. Most of his music to me is meh, but he has found some stuff that clicks with my taste.

Here's a more upbeat song I found from Brooks that I've also listened to a lot the last couple days, and that he also listened to on the plane:

You Can Be the One by Late Night Alumni
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Finally, I've listened to this Brooks-Forester-found song a lot, too, and it's meaningful, as well. He also listened to this on the plane:

Hello My Old Heart by The Oh Hellos
