I'll have to go back and reread but I think it was something along the lines of him being a charismatic, charming, or likable (one of those words) person so it wasn't a surprise Desiree fell for him. The only question mark in any of the captions was in the Drew caption.

I'm facepalming here because I just remembered one detail in the L&S article that could possibly be a clue. Or not, because I don't know when the Neil Lane sessions usually happen. Anyway, the Life & Style article claims the F1 proposed with a ring he had picked out earlier that same day.

By the way, the article does talk about Desiree's tough journey but if I remember right it was nothing new (she'd wanted to go home, etc.) and it was before taking time for the LCDs and having the F2 meet her family.

Thanks.

That sounds like it was rushed....which would fall into Brooks coming back in  the last minute.

Ring he picked out earlier that day? Hmmm....interesting. Wonder if Neil Lane was delayed on his return to the states?

Pretty sure Jef and JP picked out rings the day of. Will have to look up when the others did.

That to me sounded like a Zak emotion. He was willing to give Des the world. In Des' last blog she said that's when she realized she couldn't see forever with Zak when he gave her the ring. She didn't feel the way she should have. So unless I those last two weeks someone other than Brooks can make her feel the way she should.....

And not just kiss her or roll around with her really good. . . .  

She sees forever with Brooks. Brooks is trying to see forever with Des.

I love a part I missed the first time from the Brooks and Des date. When they run to each other and she wraps her legs around him, Brooks says, "Where have you been all my life?" I didn't notice this before, but Des says, "Oh. I've been here." :Smiley:  She basically told him right there and then that her heart is with him; as well as her mind.

Ihere it is an article quoting CH HTD vs the finale.
"It's impossible to fully understand the HTD without watching the finale"

Thanks but either way I can't understand what he means.

Was anyone confused at the HTs ? Not the way they edited it.

I think that article is meant to confuse even further.

I take what CH and MF say with a very small grain of salt.

I can see exactly what CH refers to .. And Brooks HTD is the key .. And his brothers question to him... Sets off the rest of the season.....

'The Bachelorette' host Chris Harrison: You may not fully understand the hometowns until the finale

By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 07/17/2013 

The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison says viewers may not see the clear picture of what happened during this week's broadcast of Desiree Hartsock's hometown dates with her final four suitors until the season concludes.

"This was a very interesting and pivotal episode in many ways, and with all that was going on there were some things you may not even understand until you see the dramatic two-episode finale of this season," Harrison wrote in his Entertainment Weekly blog.

Regardless of the drama to come, Harrison told TV Guide in an interview that The Bachelorette star has "four incredible guys" left. However, the host finds it funny yet predictable Hartsock sincerely fell in love with Brooks Forester, the one guy who still seems somewhat closed off.

"The one who isn't giving it up emotionally, isn't telling her everything she wants to hear, is the guy she's the most into," Harrison explained. "You'd think we'd learn from our mistakes, but it's really such a cliche. He's not the bad guy by any means and he's very much into Des for sure, but it's funny that there are three guys just throwing themselves at her and she is just trying to figure out Brooks."

Despite Forester's apparent hesitation to throw out the words, "I love you," Harrison insisted all four suitors were ready to pop the question after their hometown dates.

"I said to Des, 'If you stop this right now, there's a good chance all the guys would propose,' and that's crazy... Any of these guys would make great husbands and great fathers. She's done a great job narrowing it down, but now it's about the life she wants," Harrison told TV Guide, explaining why Hartsock probably sent Waddell home.

"It was almost as if Zak was the odd guy out, and when the music stopped we had to take one chair away. He had a great hometown and Des really enjoyed it and saw him for who he is. I don't think he'll have any problems getting a date."

Waddell's personality was almost the opposite of Kenney's, but Hartsock obviously chose to keep Kenney around.

"Drew's life might be very attractive to some. He's a very serious man, settled into who he is and what he wants. He's just not the crazy, happy-go-lucky guy who's going to bring the snow cone truck to school," Harrison said.
