I agree. But I'm wondering if contestants are told what they can/cannot say in interviews? Especially when answering *THAT* question.

If anything they're probably told to just comment based on what they see on the show, from week to week. Not based on personal interaction with the contestants after.

I believe that James was told what to say. I don't think a handler was with Miachel G. w/ this one.

I do think Michael picking Chris was prob from prod since everyone else has said Brooks, but what struck me is this: Michael said Brooks and Des have the best chemistry. Then: 'Des is smitten- and....Brooks is a great guy. Not they're smitten or Des is smitten and Brooks is into her, really likes her, or whatever.

I hope tonight's episode gives us a clearer picture of Brooks' feelings for Des. Not that he's not attracted to her but from what they've shown, I just don't see that he's as into her as she is him. (I know this isn't a shared perception here in the Brooks' thread so I'm treading lightly.) If he is her F1, I want to see him crazy about her!

He basically said that same thing in the teleconference interview. If Brooks were Final 1, I'd think he'd say it's Brooks. He knows.

Having listen to the interview, I do think he knows...and its Brooks. Listen to what Michael says..he's very deliberate in everything he says. He says the words "right now" a few times..."from what I am seeing right now" Chris has the edge because he has already told her how he feels. 'Chris and Des headed towards the same, thats what it looks like".

He said that THEY have the best chemistry, so it's two sided there.

Well, when a mentioned something Des said in an interview and asked what does she mean by that, it was Atem who told me, whatever they (the producers) want you to say. Would it be different for Michael? Plus I still would keep my buddy's secret if is was asked too and Nannymargie agrees with too. :pout

Exactly. He's commenting based on what he sees on the show right now. He's not saying this is what he thinks will happen in the end.

I think he is. He's like the character Jane in Pride and Prejudice (the Colin First version). Mr. Darcy says to Bingley that Jane is pretty enough, but there's no feeling in her face/touching her eyes, like nothing's touched her heart. She is reserved and calm when she looks at Bingley so Mr. Darcy doesn't think Jane loves Bingley deeply, which is far from the truth.

I think people won't be able to deny his feelings in the future once he gets crying.

I believe he is, even if he hasn't made the same declarations as the other men...YET. Look how upset he gets at the thought of blowing it with her?

A VO sticks out to me and that's Des " When Brooks falls in love...he really falls in love." He's been the most honest and raw with himself and Des through this process, so when he does make his declaration of love, she's really going to know he means it, wholeheartedly.

Love this. So true.

If Chris loves Desiree, and Desiree loves Brooks, it would be unfair to Chris if she chose him when she cares so much for the other guy. If she can't give him her 100 % all, that's just wrong and called settling..something she said she will never do. No worries though...I think Brooks is going to sweep her off her feet ..It's going to get hot in Antigua....JMO !!!!
