In the deliberation, you pointed out that only Chris said "I love you." Was it a big issue that Brooks, especially, didn't?
Harrison: Not at all. She has a lot of security with Brooks. Chris definitely laid it on the line and it was glaring that Brooks didn't say it because he had the other one-on-one date, but with his non-verbal communication, she felt extremely confident. And that's one of the things I've learned, that it's wise to bring it up during deliberation, but don't make a big deal of it. I just wanted to get her take on it. She's supremely confident in Brooks and knows what they've shared on their dates.

Next week is hometowns! Any teases?
Harrison: This is where everybody is very emotional, Drew's date [especially] is just amazing and it'll tear at your heartstrings. The rest of the season is very intense and the biggest hurdle for Des has yet to come.

Hurdle.

The hurdle could be two things: 1. Getting over Brooks and moving on. 2. Getting over something Brooks does/says/she feels pertaining to Brooks, and moving on with him.

For all we know, the hurdle is Drew she needs to get over to get to Brooks.

Chris doesn't seem much of a hurdle. giggling

The hurdle will be "will the man who she loves love her back?"

Yes, meet her at the finish line. She might see 2 other guys waiting there for her already but she's not running to them. Her hurdle will be can she pick up the pace and run in another direction? Now that Brooks has put those verbs in her mind she will compare where she's at with the two guys vs Brooks. Remember Des told CH those ominous words. She's not afraid to get hurt. But just because you get hurt does not mean you can't get healed too. Brooks loves Des. He just doesn't realize how much just yet.

Another thing. What would ever motivate Des to say, "After THIS, he BETTER get down on ones knee and propose? Even if she gave up Brooks for one of the guys, why would he better get down on one knee? It sounds more like what she had to go thru to wait at the finish line and see if Brooks comes running. The other two are willing and wanting to get down on one knee already.

The Bachelorette Scoop: Guess Who's Making a Big Return!

Oh, snap. Guess who will be popping up in next week's episode of The Bachelorette to possibly cause some serious trouble? It's not any former suitors of Desiree Hartsock, if that's what you're thinking. This visitor is much more family-friendly.

Desiree's brother Nate, who basically sent Sean Lowe running for the hills on The Bachelor, will be appearing on the next episode of The Bachelorette to advise his sister on the final four, a source reveals exclusively to E! News.

So which of the remaining suitors—Brooks, Chris, Drew and Zak, will have to win over her bro? Apparently Desiree has learned her lesson regarding her overprotective sibling, because Nate will not be getting near any of the guys left standing.

READ: Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky blogs about Desiree's season

"Nate doesn't meet any of the guys next week," a Bachelorette source tells E! News. "The only person he sits down with is Desiree. She's petrified to see him; she doesn't want a repeat performance of what happened with Sean. But he leaves without meeting any of the contestants."

Smart girl. But we hear that Nate will definitely have strong opinions on the four men still vying for his sister's heart, even if he meets none of them. And he'll be around until the bitter, but hopefully happy, end.

"He comes back in the finale," the source adds. "He meets the finalists. And believe me, he has an opinion about them all!"

PHOTOS: Where are The Bachelor alums now?

Before the season began, Desiree revealed that her brother would return, and she wasn't sweating his overprotective attitude.

"He was actually very supportive, so he will meet the men!" she said about her brother. And as for that intense conversation he had with Sean on The Bachelor that may or may not have been the reason she was eliminated, Des insists there was no malice behind it. Just Nate being a a big brother.

"That was a very Sean-specific conversation, and it was because he saw that Sean wasn't right for me," Desiree explains of the infamous fight last season. "But he is very supportive of me being able to choose and decide what's right for me."

What do you think of Nate returning to help Desiree on her journey to marriage? Will it help or hinder Des' decision?

Yeah, I found that interesting, too. 'All' sounds more than 2 to me. If it was 2 wouldn't they tend to say 'both'?
