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 have been trying to figure out exactly how to word how I was feeling about this season right now. You said it perfectly for me! Thank you!

 Been mainly just following along on here this season. At this point, I am only watching it for Drew.  

I have to ask. Doesn't anyone else think that Des will get some backlash at the end of this?

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.

canyonvue wrote:I really don't care if Desiree gets backlash or not, as long as Brooks comes out of it with his "good judgement" intact. I would much rather see Brooks walk away from her for good two weeks from now than for him to get engaged to someone he isn't 100% sure about. Not that that's the case, but if she isn't THE ONE for all eternity, I hope he did walk out, as hard as that will be for Brooks fans.

I just think Brooks deserves the best. And so does his amazing family.

My thoughts exactly. Drew's HTD was maybe the best ever. He is so over the moon for her. He's gonna get his heart ripped out
