Re: The Final One (F1) - Bachelorette 9 - Spoilers - Thread #2

I think with Des residing in LA area and Brooks in SLC, it's probably been easy for them to meet somewhere in the middle by car, or least someplace obscure given the geography between LA & Utah? Des did say she loves road trips.

Hasn't Drew moved into the area where Des lives? What could be easier for a hookup than that? Again, just putting this out for thoughts. Where does Chris live again? Is it a possibility for them to connect easily?

The other thing that I thought of for him to be travelling, isn't the taping of the MTA happening this weekend??

Ok, thanks. I thought I heard something about it happening on the weekend so didn't know for sure. Wasn't it Zack K or Brandon that was bragging that it was happening this weekend and the guys are all gathering then?

I definitely think she enjoyed kissing Drew. I just don't think the rest of the guys, including Drew, will have time to catch up to the emotional connection that has been established with Brooks.

what connection is that.  They haven't really talked about anything serious yet.  I think that Drew's convos are a lot more serious than any of Brooks as Drew and Des have talked about the future...Brooks hasn't.

Brooks has demonstrated a fair amount of depth. I'm sure they've discussed a lot that isn't shown, like the hot tub scene and cocktail party conversation in AC. And he seems quick to point out to Des how he is savoring the moments, etc. and appreciating his time with her. And the body language is speaking volumes without words.

But the point is that I was trying to make is that with the lead and the f1, it is usually the more serious conversations that are shown, not just the kissing like what is happening with Brooks.  It has happened with Drew though.

They had a serious conversation night one.  Remember, about his dad?  As for after that, it's Desiree, not Brooks that's interrupting the other talking into a kiss.  That's her.  Even when he came back with the broken finger she was basically telling him she didn't want to talk and wanted to kiss.  She's the one saying he brings out the best in her all the time.  

But, that type of action is usually reserved for the "physical only" edit.  Also, I would think that the Lead would want to talk and kiss their F1 guy.

Again, there was so little shown of Cat and Sean onscreen of them, but in each episode they did talk about serious things as WELL as kiss.  With Brooks, we are seeing a physical edit as of late with very little to no serious conversations about the future, where as with Drew, there was future talk.  In a lot of the episodes, there is something about the future with Drew.  Same with Cat and Sean, they talked about their future together onscreen.  So, question begs, if Brooks is the F1(not saying he's not), then why not the serious future conversations in recent episodes.  I know what some may say, they had serious conversations in the first one, true, but that's all that they have and in the last one, nothing but kissing.  No talking at all which tells me that there is only a physical thing there.

Are you speculating that Des and Brooks haven't been having any serious conversations, or that the editors are just not showing those convos because either they're a)boring, b)too revealing that he's her F1, or c)unimportant because he's NOT her F1?  Just curious.

And I agree with the sentiment expressed by others that the perceived lack of so-called "serious" conversations is not really a clue to who is Des' F1 or who she is really connecting with in a deeper way.  Frankly, these so-called "serious" conversations that we always hear on this show are nothing like any normal serious conversations I have ever had on any first/early dates I've been on, where subjects like work, current events, educational experiences, interests/hobbies, politics, religion, travel, friends, routine family background/history etc DO get discussed, and the subjects of "how ready one is to get married" (everyone), "who's been cheated on" (at least half), and substance abuse problems/family tragedies (most) are not delved into until somewhat later.

So true.

I agree with this...Cat and Sean's "serious conversations" seemed to involve something sad or tragic...her absentee father or watching someone killed in front to her. yikes.

I agree with the "somewhat later" portion of your post and that is exactly why most Bach/Bachette couples do not survive. Even if there were NOT plenty of other men for Des to also date and Brooks were the only man to converse with every day-all day, those tough discussions may still not be happening at such an early start. Sure, there are a handful of real couples who met-got engaged-got married in just a few weeks and found long-lasting success. Most, though, need quality time to be truly ready to offer themselves in a serious commitment. Des may be ready and dying to get married, but there is nothing wrong with Brooks not being certain yet.
