Brooks' family seemed nice and welcoming. It was my 2nd favorite of the HTDs.  Drew's was the best for me. Loved his family & he was just beaming the whole time. The outtake at the end was so cute. I really want him to be the Bachelor.  

I'm kind of annoyed they're showing Des talk about loving Brooks and hoping for a proposal. It makes me feel worse for the other guys and you know they wouldn't show it if it were smooth sailing.

Albean, I've always just liked Drew but tonight I loved him! Even above my Brooks which is crazy to say! Love Him and his family! :Flirty:

Zak... first half 5.31 mins, second half 9.42 for a total of 15:13.  at the beginning was a squirel  

Drew... first half 6.36 mins, second half 6.25 mins for a total of 13.01. at the beginning was a rabbit  

Chris... first half 5.06 mins, second half 10.36 mins for a total of 15.42 mins.  no little animals were sacrificed for Fleiss :shocked!: 

Brooks... first half 5.23 mins, second half 8.32 mins for a total of 13.55 mins.  at the beginning were the pair of ducks   

not that any of this means anything, but the supposed 2 that she has the strongest feelings for had the least amount of time.  Zak had the longest time.

Chris had the most from your calculations.

you're right atem, went back and corrected the post with an edit.

If her F1 is Chris or Drew then I genuinely feel bad that he (and his family) has had to sit through this week and the next two weeks of Des confessing her love for Brooks, wanting his proposal, and then wanting to go home when thing with Brooks don't go the way she wants. At this point, I hope for his sake that Brooks does NOT leave because it would already be hard not to feel like the consolation prize. At least if he stays they had more of fighting chance to say will I won in the end. Regardless, it doesn't seem like enough time for her to get from point A to point B.  

This I agree with. But in fairness to the other guys who possibly did not have full disclosure (much like Chris L and Roberto on Ali's season) - she should have called it a day if her feelings were that "forever and ever" strong.

I will think a lot less of her if she drags her parents into meeting 2 men she never has the forever intentions for at least one of them as per the dating show she is on. She said time and time again that if she felt that the guys were not for her OR if she was not for the guys she would let them go. Yet she kept 2 guys on when clearly she had already made up her mind weeks ago that is was a third guy. This is playing to the show even more than the usual progression.

Unless she truly does not know the meaning of the word "love" and just throws it out randomly to CH.

I didn't like Chris' HTD at all. It just came off as odd.

Drew's was as wonderful as I knew it would be! I loved Drew's family ever since I read his sister's blog about her two adorable kids.

Drew was the standard overly confident not F1 guy

I would LOVE it if Drew was the next Bachelor. Especially after tonight.

That or Final 1.

Desiree does fav tweets saying things about picking a guy who is in the 'walk with God', etc. and Drew is a man of faith.

I'll second that. I wasn't sure anyone from this season would be able to carry that, but I now think Drew would be a great one along with Chris (as long as his Dad keeps the Chiro supplies at home during the MTPs). I didn't know whether to laugh or cover my eyes

Don't do it Drew !!!

I am torn about Drew being the next Bach, because he is too good for this stupid show, but I really love Drew.

After the crap that millsy has pulled on him - he should slap his face the second the ATFR is aired.

Maybe, that's why he mentioned how 'steamy' their FD is. He must have heard something about his crude tweets and RTs.
