Bachelor Party?

Why can't Brooks go to Vegas with friends even if he's engaged? It could even be a trip him and Des will take.

Sorry, but I just don't see Desiree and Las Vegas. That's just me. As for why not? Because, the Final 1 would be focused on being with the lead?

Well, then definitely, yeah, they're not well-suited. And that's just it, at the end of the show real life happens and they see what each other really likes, does, believes, who they hang with. Irreconcilable differences.

And to focus totally on the lead to the exclusion of all other things sounds kind of obsessive.

No, that's not what that tells me. It tells me that if he were Final 1, the priority would be with his fiancé, not his friends that's all.

I'm not saying Desiree would have a problem with Brooks going to Vegas. I'm saying that telling your friends that tells me you aren't final 1.

I guess it would depend on when they go...if they go before the finale then its fine since he and Des can't be together anyway. If he goes after the show then I'm sure he would go with Des' approval. Either way I don't see it being that big of deal. Plenty of friends go to Vegas without their partners -- I've done it!!!

Yeah, for me, Vegas isn't a red flag. I think Des would find some fun in Vegas. I know sometimes Vegas is synomynous with trashiness and trouble but I've been there plenty of times and had tons of fun without running into any scary situations or scandal. The place is flooded with couples and even families, at least the times I've gone.

It's a pretty quick trip between SLC and LA, so they may see one another often. I wonder where the safe house is this season...

do they ever reveal it after the fact? I saw on my local news a couple weeks ago that Jesse (F1 from Deanna's season) talked to them. He told them the final couple flies separately to the LA area. One flies to LAX, the other to Burbank and then both are driven to the secret location. In this case, Des already lives in LA so she would probably just hitch a ride to the secret location while F1 flies to one of the airports and then is driven to Des.

Desiree or Brooks have had pic tweeted or whatever showing there aren't at any safe house every weekend.

I don't know any couple on the show that has met up every weekend...she's in CA and he is in Utah. How could they?
They always don't meet up on weekends..sometimes it could npbecause Monday thru Thrusday ..or Tues thru Fri what ever works..
So not being GONE on a weekend doesn't say anything..JMO

No it actually does n`t mean they are restricted to weekends. But if one of them is working - it is hard to get that much time off as well.

So True

Sometimes couples will talk about where the safehouses are and how often they see each other. It's usually 10 days to 2 weeks between trips and the length of the stays often depend on the schedules of the lead and their F1. In the past the safehouses have been other places outside of L.A. I know JP/Ashley met in the Hamptons on occasion(someone correct me if I'm remembering that wrong). Sean/Catherine were in the L.A. area, Palm Springs, and then Sean secretly flew her to Dallas (without permission) before the show started and they snuck around Dallas for a visit.

From what I've seen he seems like a genuine happy go lucky kinda guy that loves his family and friends. I don't think him liking Vegas precludes any of that. If anything it makes me like him more because it means he knows how to have a good time and let loose. No one wants to marry a stick in the mud. I've been checking out his playlist on Spotify and have been pleasantly surprised by his eclectic tastes as well.

where do you find his spotify? i'm curious to check out his musical taste but can't find it.

Is it possible that they could meet during the weekdays as well though? For all we know Brooks could have been waiting for Des at safe place while she was doing that party bus crashing. I am not saying they did nor do I have any proof, but I could see at least a couple day window during the week the two could meet up. Honestly in the history of this show except for when Courtney got caught walking Ben's dog after filming, I have not heard or seen any evidence of any of the final couples having any meet ups. I know they have them but heck if I can tell when it is. lol.

All right, I am curious, what music does he listen too? I want to see if we have similar likes or not...

I remember Emily tweeting a photo of her and Ricki holding a fish they had just caught with the pond in the background. We found out later that Jef took the photo and the place they were staying was a remote safe house. And of course, there was the infamous photo Jef tweeted of him grilling a dinner for two and he left the gps on - it was in Palm Springs. That was a pretty sizeable clincher!

Yup and JP and Ashley were caught (shown on Canadian TV) leaving a hotel in I think it was NYC.

That's right Tiggerlgh! I had forgotten that one!

It's not about Vegas. It's about planning a trip with friends real soon. Just gave a vibe of Brooks not being Final 1. It could be a trip anywhere. Not that I think they know one way or another.

by Soleil Sun Jun 30, 2013 9:49 pm

Atem, that was about four weeks ago. Does it look like they've headed to Vegas yet? I looked at Instagram (I snooped yes) and couldn't find a hint if he's been there since. I wasn't having any doubts about Brooks as F1 until now. Add that to RS to the still unanswered "Brooks, Brooks, Brooks...." comment and it gets a little confusing...
