I just adore your posts.  

So at what time does Des' brother make an appearance in the process? And has it been discussed why Catherine, Leslie and Jackie would fly all that way to spend time with Des?

I am making an assumption--the machine was in trouble with the season and flew these ex-chickeroo franchise "besties" all the way to Europe to create simple distraction and filler for the epi.
I don't like to assume--but there is no other reason.
There is no ass emoticon for me so I will utilize this one.  Beating a dead or big ass. That works for me.  

Filler sounds just right. TPTB were also secretly hoping that one of the women would cast a spell on one of the guys and he'd run off with her. DRAMAAAAAA.

What if Brooks does leave with one of them    that would be the DRAma they have been waiting for. Kidding of course.

And just to really blow MF's mind, what if Brooks had run off with Catherine...j/k of course, but now that would have been the most exciting episode EVA. :hidingchair 

Well, except that that isn't in line with Brooks' character or the fact that he was excited for the Bachelorette to be Des.

Catherine tweeted that she likes James.  

and she said this

Like the girly men harping on drama are all that much more attractive at this point.


So its safe to say that she would probably run off with James.  She's probably sick of her fiancee mooching off a friend so they can live rent free in LA.

Sorry. Didn't realize that had been discussed to death. What about her brother's appearance?

I was not referencing you in the emoticon--I was referencing myself. There is a saying regarding assuming. I was referencing me in making assumptions. Sorry if you misunderstood.

I assume her brother was brought in for the same reason--to spark something--drama. I mean he caused enough last season.

I just watched the preview again for tonight. When Des is talking to CH….she says "I love this man"…do we see her lips saying this?? I don't think so.
