Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #6

[Guest]

So, I watched the preview again. I know it's a been hashed out in some form already. But I'm trying to unravel it in my mind too. First, talking to Drew. Des is being dubbed when it seems she tells Drew in a crying voice, you were THE ONE keeping me here. So if they dubbed it while she talks to Drew, whom really was she saying this too? The only other person she's crying about is Brooks due to outfit while crying to BSG Brooks. That would match why she feels like quitting after a fallout happens as seen by her PI about just wanting to go home. Before her dinner with Brooks she does say Brooks could be THE ONE. Not heavily edited. That's a consistent wording for Des towards the end. THE ONE. Any other would be default and not THE ONE.

I wondered why no one is talking about this. She says hrough tears you were the only one keeping me here. It obviously wasn't what she was saying when they showed it with Drew. Due to the tears I think it must be during the Famous Blue Shirt guy talk we now know is Brooks.

So 1) she basically says he is her choice and 2) it sounds like it is Brooks who initiates pulling out in some way. If they show her say that, I think it must be very near the end or else what does hat say about the other guys. so I'm guessing he has a FD and the blow up happens during the last ep. How Drew fis i. I have no idea. I just really want to see a FD with these 2 after all these weeks with little teases of their time together. What a rip off if we don't get one.

albean - that is well put together !!!!

the only thing that gives me pause if Brooks in the back of the limo.

But Chris has tweeted within the last week...I think he could actually go incognito up in a big city like Seattle than Brooks could is small place like SLC.

I'm talking about pics from 'fans', etc.  

I got it but my point is he is out and about. I don't think Brooks is running around SLC saying to people "hey, let me take my picture with you." They are asking him. If Chris can go unnoticed perhaps no one is asking him.

Between the low ratings and the spoiler, they are doing some crazy editing to conjure up more interest. I'm sure it's all so much simpler than they are making it seem in these previews. I'm trying not to get my panties twisted, but it's hard!  

From that girl that watched the episode with Brooks, he said that the ending is intense and that there are weird twists.  

When was this? And it sounds like Brooks spilled the ending..I guess he doesn't worry about being sued..

Wow

From what I can tell she's a teen that was excited to hang with Brooks. After all her bragging that her aunt knows a celeb and DM her if you want to know messages is a clear sign of immaturity and wanting to showoff to her friends.

Any responsible adult would know not to reveal this much on twitter because of the contractual obligations Brooks is under. I personally doubt that she or her aunt "knows" who won. I think the more likely scenario is that her aunt read the spoiler and like so many of us, believe them to be true.

That is what I think too. With all the hoopla over spoilers that happens with this show, it is very likely his curious friends/family, at least some of them have checked the spoilers. Not to mention all the fans who check spoilers and then tweet them out to anyone and everyone. I was trying to go spoiler fee one season and wham this 1 tweet shows up in my twitter feed and that was the end of that.

Brooks seems to be quite a social creature who has a lot of friends, and even his job title is one an extrovert would have, so it doesn't surprise me that he is out and about. Maybe it's easier to hide happiness than it is disappointment.

Bres may have their "freak out" moments during the course of the journey, but they are still winding up together in my mind. And how fun for us that it will add more suspense! The Em & Jef ending was so boring (indifference on both their parts?) The clever editing can make it look like a non-Bres ending, but after spending so much time with these 2 (through my extremely voyeuristic video-making!), there is just no way any of the other guys are going to catch up with Brooks.

ITA . There's a good reason SC's of Brooks is being left out. It's not to prepare us that he won't be there in the end. It's to hide that fact. I truly believe she does care/love the Drew and Chris. Every lead says they do love at least the F2. But it's the being IN LOVE that is the difference maker.

I think the reason there aren't SCs of Brooks on dates is that he isn't on any in Antigua. If he were leaving for good I believe they'd try to make us believe he's there and wouldn't put in the BSG scenes. That they gave us him leaving tells me that they're hiding him coming back.

To me the scenario that fits everything is:

Brooks leaves before his FD, probably his choice - We see both Des & Brooks as being very upset, he's in a limo with tears in his eyes, Des in same top crying about being heartbroken and wanting to go home.

Prior to the F3 RC we see CH asking Des what she wants to do and her crying. Then we see Des talking to the guys (has to be Chris & Drew although we only see Chris) while crying & saying she's sorry. Again this fits Brooks leaving which upset her very much. She'd still have to offer roses and give them a chance to reject them just like Ali did when Frank left.

The F2 at that time are Chris & Drew and we see SCs from both dates. They're the only ones who have different date SCs in Antigua. I don't buy that all of Drew's are from one date. There's no way Des would change her clothes, hairstyle, & earrings partway through the day. Any clothing changes other than putting a swimsuit on are for the night portion of the dates.

It looks like something happens during one of Drew's dates, most likely the LCD. I think Des must let him know about her feelings being confused and Drew may choose to go. It's really hard to tell but I'm thinking he does leave and therefore won't be at the FRC. He probably did MTP though.

Chris is at the FRC and is seen in the limo. I'm not sure if he's being emotional on the way or after rejection. Could be either but we do see him there.

Here's where it's completely conjecture because we don't have any SCs. I believe Brooks comes back, probably the day/night before the FRC. Des has some PIs & VO's that have her talking about "the guy" and unless that's Chris, Brooks must come back before the FRC. I think she's happy to see him but also hurt and therefore will probably tell him she has to think about it. Of course he'll be at the FRC and of course will be the F1. I know not everyone is convinced by that but I think they'd edit it a different way if it ends up being Chris. With Fleiss you never know but I do believe the F1 spoilers.

What's interesting Albean is, what could Chris or Drew do for Des to say, "after this he BETTER get down on one knee and propose"? Seem Chris has smooth sailing pun intended. Unless she's going to fight for Drew, it could only be Brooks as the "enigma" . He's the only one that fits, after this he BETTER get down on one knee.

Whatever happens has something to do with who comes to Brooks' door. Who is it usually? Chris H. Could it be Des?
Des' brother? the other Chris? Drew? Is he going to her or away from her in the limo? Does he pace during a conversation with her? or someone else? or is he alone? That, "aaagh". Is it after the hug and cry (if he is truly blue shirt guy)? Will we ever find out before the events we have been teased with are shown? Will we survive if we don't? JK. I've been impressed by all the scenarios and am really curious as to who is closer to the mark. Sleuth on...

[Guest]

great post Albean and seems like that fits. I will just be so bummed to not get to see a fantasy date and meet the parents with my favourite couple. It's disappointing to think it will be all emotionally wrought drama with them after Hometowns and we'll miss the happy lovey-Dovey stuff you usually get in the last 2 episodes.

Lots of sightings of Brooks, actually. I thought for a while that he'd be immune but now the fan encounters and personal parties are starting to come out.

.................

I wander around these boards reading all the confusion and the thought that keeps coming to my head is that it's a bunch of to-do about nothing. In the end we'll all know what goes on. If we'd just wait a month. Guaranteed. No super-sleuthing required.  

I think I'm going to go with that. I'm not going to worry about trying to figure it out. I'll probably just enjoy reading everyone else trying to.

One definite thread is that it's a weird ending, that there are a lot of weird twists coming up, and that the end is super intense—some of these according to the girl, according to Brooks. All of these already made plainly obvious by the preview and the fact that no one knows what's going on. :Smiley: 

I think it's too much work to try to figure out the twists at this point.

All we have are the confident belief of four spoilers that Brooks is F1. It's like a peaceful beacon in the storm. And a preview that highlights Brooks and Des. And their dates. And SCs (which I would never bother to try to find and analyze myself, unless I didn't believe that Brooks is the F1 and cared so much to then figure it out).

I think I'll stick with what are definites at this point. Are the spoilers definitely right? No. But the are most likely right. That's good enough for me right now.

I came on here to find out the spoiler for Sean's season and then never came back. I took it as Catherine and then just watched the show, assuming I knew the F1. It worked out. It worked out for Jef, as well, but I got way too involved that season. So, I'm just taking these spoilers as all the information I need, too. I just hope we get lots and lots of good Brooks stuff and that his fans don't feel gypped by camera and get-to-know-Brooks-time in the end. :Smiley:  So far I've been pretty happy with what they've given Brooks. I hope if he does leave the running at some point that they continue to give him time, somehow. I will be disappointed to not see him at the MTP, if that happens.   But I will enjoy all the drama that ensues. 

I'll read here, respond, but for the most part I'm just going to watch the show, because in the end I'm guaranteed to know, even if do just watch the show.  

...........

Oh, and Go Brooks! I love him. He is such a gorgeous, lovable cutie. I HOPE that I can continue to say that long after the show is over.

[nutty1]

I am pretty convinced Brooks leaves. I want to know WHY he leaves. I hope it isn't because he is unsure of everything. That just won't bode well.

[BarbB222]

But doesn't this ultimately fit what Des is saying....

On a press call yesterday, USA Today reports that Des said, "Overall, the experience was definitely an emotional journey. There were a lot of surprises. Overall, I think it's a journey of love, and love isn't always going to be happy. There's going to be ups and downs."

[agentcurls]

What still doesn't make sense is that if Brooks decides to leave on his own accord, than why does he say "it's the worst day of my life" and "agh......" when he would've put it on himself. If he does leave, I really don't think it's by his choice alone because he's unsure of his feelings, etc. I think it must be some extraneous circumstance that cannot be helped. I think he must leave kicking and screaming about it.
