Episode 8 (HTD's) - 7/18 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion - Spoilers

And listen to how Brooks talked about Des to his brothers and his mom. He wants them to like her, says great things about the person she is and doesn't want to let he go at the end. He was very happy with how the things went with his family and looked happy. His mom saw the "love look" between them and I did too. OK we are gonna have a few emotional days coming up...but you have to overcome the hard things to know where you need to be. Where did I hear that before???

I think Michael said it best. If you want great love you have to take great risks. Brooks being pragmatic does not take such risks. If he explores a relationship it's continual. Not stop and go, stop and go repeatedly. He will risk it I'm the end of that I'm sure.

Did Drew not have an actual daytime date?  Zak  had the ice cream truck to the school; Chris played baseball; Brooks went canoeing.  But there was no activity for Drew--or none shown anyway.
 
Maybe picking up his sister took too much time?

It was probably left on the cutting room floor.

Totally. I am lucky because I always tell my daughter, "You're my favorite girl" and my son, "You're my favorite boy" :Smiley:

Thanks!

Yes, it was.  

Thanks Atem.
So we just never saw the scene of him holding the ring?

Sorry, I read your post wrong. The pic of the ring at the AC shop is the ring he gave Desiree. That ring you are talking about, I have no idea what it is.

I did not think the film of Zak last night matched up with the scs of the ring/hand we had been sleuthing. MO.

I took a good look at both rings, definitely different rings. Which brings us back to who is it?? I'd say Chris.

I always thought and said it was Chris. A way back I even posted rings that are from the Neil Lane line that are similar to the one in his hand.

I saw one that looked similar too, but cheaper than most Neil Lane rings we have seen given out - maybe there really were budget cuts!!

Well, they could opt out the solitaire used for the example via Kay Jewelers and replace it with a much bigger and better quality.
Here is the link to that old post. I can't bring an abbreviated cap over as the thread is locked. I thought the second example looked like the ring only place a larger solitaire in it.

And I think the first ring looks like it!
