Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #10

Please, Brooks said himself Desiree could 'hang' with him just fine. Suddenly, she's not good enough for Brooks, because of what?

Yeah, those two are VERY compatible. Even Brooks' mom agreed.

Just got around to watching HTDs.

This entire season has been building up to "The Des & Brooks Story". Everyone else are just the supporting cast and are doing well in their roles as antagonists. Of course both D & B will have an obstacle to overcome. And overcome it will be.

Maybe Brooks pragmatic, realistic approach to this process will make them a successful couple post-wrap?

It's either that or just due to how boring Chris S/Des are, they had to put a more compelling story in there.

I don't really understand thinking Des is going to pick Chris. It's not that I think Brooks is all that but clearly Des does. It's possible that he leaves and doesn't come back because we don't have any proof but I think it's the only reason we're seeing Des profess her love for Brooks. Him leaving after she'd made it obvious he was the one from early on, was a bonus for Fleiss.

I like Des & hope for the best for her but I don't know if Brooks feels the same way she does. I believe the spoilers but don't have to be happy about it.  I think Drew & Chris are really nice guys and feel bad for them but both will be just fine.

canyon doesn't want brooks to be seen as a bad guy so she is picking on des and trying to blame her for whatever happens. that doesn't make any sense to me though because des is the one who is so defeated and done and wants to go home. it's good to allow brooks his flaws too. everybody has 'em...even when they are producer generated.  

No. I'm just wondering if they're right for each other. It is a fact he does seem to be struggling so hard with this. It is true if you know you just know. Maybe he's just putting too much thought into it. But he does seem completely lost when she's not around, and he looks like a totally different person when he is thinking. The many moods of Brooks are all gorgeous.  

It's not about what happens in the future, with the crying. I'd respect Brooks if he stepped back to think, if he needs to. I wouldn't care what anyone else thinks of him.

Bottom-line, and I've always said this, I'm a Brooks fan first. Kind of like his own family would be, I'm sure.

Did we get off the subject of Chris HAS to be the F1 then? Phew. Then I did my job. :Smiley:

I'd be over the moon happy, if Drew was Final 1 or Brooks. I would be meh with Chris S. The dude bores the heck out of me.

He doesn't seem that way body language wise to me.

Someone already brought up the false photo thing to RS and he said that it was a nice conspiracy theory, but that's not what happened.  Plus, you are saying Desiree and Brooks faked a FRC?

Not at all. I was just thinking that maybe the producers had Des and her final 3 take photos at some point, that could then be released to appear to be a finale of sorts- I don't know...I haven't thought it through...Maybe it would be impossible due to the scenery required in the background at the finale ...but it was just a thought....On the cloud 9 date though, and I may be alone in my opinion, I felt Brooks was lukewarm in all honesty in his body language with Des...maybe I am posting in the wrong thread but I also recall Brooks kissing Des hello with one hand in his pocket...that to me is either shyness or disinterest... I have seen this lack of reciprocity from him thoughout the season in body language in all honesty...although clearly others don't agree.

No, he didn't.  He brought her closer to him when they kissed sitting down and brought her into the kiss at the Fort.

Honestly, this is just my opinion, but as someone who fell completely for Jef and Emily last year, even though many were saying that they were way off in their body language, and I denied it until I couldn't any longer-  I just dont see it....I saw Brook gazing off into the distance a little too much on that cloud 9 date, plus I saw him with this arm around Des at one point but barely, like it was an obligation...I am only going off of my thoughts at the time because I only saw it once..I see this as one sided with Des being "all in" and Brooks not so much, more than most do. I agree that the potential is there but that there is something emotionally blocked in Brooks that shows in his body language- sorry for those who are offended and I will stop with the commentary now.....I am intrigued though if Mike Fleiss did manage to pull it off....

I was for Jef, too and I agree with you there. It's made me want to at least look at the things I don't want to see more, and I did that today, after the HTD and it's the first time I saw that Des might not be right for Brooks. I'm not saying she isn't, because she might be, too, but I can see how she wouldn't be. In some ways they come from very different worlds.

Brooks is this amazingly gorgeous, sweet, adorable guy that anyone would like. But, at the same time, you do see their chemistry.

He seems to have gotten more pensive, as he said, but he still really likes her. What stands out to me is him saying everything is fine when they're together, but when they're apart it's hard. I don't know exactly what he means by that. Like, is it hard because that's when he can think, or is it hard because he misses her and goes crazy thinking about her (and thinking about her with other guys).

I don't think we really know and people are doing a lot of judging of things we don't really know. Maybe one day it'll all become clear what Brooks means by everything he's said, and how he's felt all this time. Once the editing is gone, he'll probably look like a whole different person.

Brooks did say why it was hard when they were apart.  Because he really has feeling for her and wants to keep persuing those feelings but he cannot be with her.  So in other words he just wants to be with her more and he can't.

I don't know why anybody would have a problem fitting in with the Foresters...They are so much fun, they are warm and loving and supportive, and so respectful of each other. Just because she comes from more humble surroundings shouldn't make a difference. It's so easy for me to imagine her and Brooks hanging with the family bantering back and forth ...I feel so bad for Brooks because he feels awesome when they are together, but for some reason he's miserable when they are apart. LOL He's adorable..just like Desiree said..

I agree there. I liked that they are welcoming of anyone that Brooks brings to meet them and not sitting there yapping about a past ex.

I know this is the Brooks thread, and I probably like each of the F3 just about equally. But maybe Chris isn't really that boring - maybe the exciting parts are on the cutting room floor. I remember early on, when Brooks had been at the hospital (I think that's when it was). When Brooks returned, Chris said something about Brooks being so danged charming. I thought it was very good-natured of Chris and rather humorous, too. He knew Brooks was a threat, but he still couldn't help but like the guy himself.
