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

[nannymargie]

She's been gaga over him for a while, but I think that clip shows he really cares for her too, so why leave?

Yeah, but notice he hasn't been saying the anything near the L word like everyone else?  

Brooks takes things slower than the other guys.  He seems like a deep thinker and processes everything.

One thing I have to say is that we do not know what happens yet but it was upsetting enough to make him cry and say its the worst day of his life.  And it was enough to make Des want to go home.  But they come out of this engaged.  That just proves how strong their love was and they talked it thru.  I think this will just make them stronger as a couple and will fight for their love.

^^^ i was thinking last night that there probably isn't a better date on the show. it's pretty hard to beat sitting in the clouds. talk about romantic! :Smiley: 

Two cloud dates seems off the charts . I love how she whispers to him and lays her head on his shoulders. Being in the clouds is poetry without words.

 After that date, who needs a fantasy date?

What she wanted was to get engaged, but discovered she needed the guy who said he wasn't sure if he could propose at the end of it all.  Does he surprise her and propose anyway though?  

That's my theory for today, subject to change after Monday.

Reading your comment makes me realize how very painful this story is. Do you think that Des wants to be engaged so desperately, that Brooks feels sorry for her and goes against his better judgment and finally proposes? I had never thought of that before and you may be on to something. I don't wish a life like that for anyone. How tragic for both of them.

With the way he was crying? I don't think so.

Don't you think, Atem, that you can be falling in love with someone but still not sure you're ready to propose in a week's time? I think if she loses it and refuses to talk to him about it, he could be that upset. He realizes he may have screwed things up.

What I do know though, is this season has me hook, line & sinker when I was ready to pull the plug because it was getting so boring. I NEED to see how this season ends now.

It could be..something goes wrong..and I believe producers go and gets Brooks to calm her down..And maybe she wasnt ready to listen..she did say once her mind is made up thats it..I think she was ready to bail at that point.. Or maybe Drew does want to bail and that puts her in a tailspin..So when she has her date with Brooks she puts him over the coals?...

To get engaged in The Bachelor/ette is really to get engaged ? I sincerely wonder...
If I was the Bachelorette, I would take badly that my F1 doesn't want to propose in front of the audience.

[LLiza]

Shoot! If any of this is in any way true, I feel totally sorry for Brooks. There is no way that he should be held to feel responsible for Des' happiness simply because she has chosen him as "the one". It is common to fall for someone who doesn't love you back. It is cruel to expect a contestant to pretend that he is ready for engagement just so the (few) audience members feel satisfied by this boring season.

[BarbB222]

Remember how Des told Brooks on their first date, you have go thru the hard stuff to get where you should be. I think that statement will foreshadow the end. Where they should be is together but they had to go thru the bad stuff to get there. I don't know what the bad stuff will be for them but they will prevail. Spoiler or no spoiler. I'd just be more apprehensive without a spoiler but my eyes and heart and mind wouldn't be too far off base.

[clueless]

I just dont think Brooks would be that upset if he was not completely sure of his feelings for her (or think he's sure). Why does everyone think three of Des' friends are flying out to chat with her? It may be nothing but I wouldn't count out that they flew out to see her to talk her off the ledge so to speak. Just a thought. Could some of these upsetting sc's we are seeing be from this next episode? (I have no idea that's why I'm asking.)

[nd4reality]

What is the consensus on Brooks getting some sort of bad news from his family that is the cause of him leaving ?
