This is reminding me so much of Ben's season right now especially if Des really only gave Brooks a chance. They both got early epi 2 dates and the leads were gaga about them from the start. I'm not saying Brooks is the villain like Courtney was but I'm not sure Des gave anyone else a chance and she may regret that. Hopefully she's happy and it works out for her.

Aunties_Love, you are right. Des being with Brooks at the end is just what I believe will happen. I could be totally wrong and if I am I will be disappointed. I think those two together would be a wonderful love story....but that's just me. I know there are many people hoping for a different ending and will be disappointed if Des chooses Brooks. Most of all I hope Des is happy, she deserves to be.

Brooks and Courtney in the same sentence is a bit frightening....

albean99 I do know what you mean though.

If Brooks wasn't open and honest with her then he wouldn't have the guts to tell her at his HTD that they "have a good relationship", that he's having a hard time. He tells her that and that takes guts, especially when there are three other guys that could take her away. He doesn't tell her he loves her just to make sure she keeps him around. He doesn't want to say it any sooner than he knows it.][/quote/]

Who's to say what happens, anyway? Does he really "leave" or does she just take something he says wrong, in a way he didn't expect? (Which makes more sense based on what he says "There's nothing I can say.") I think she must just take something wrong. Or, maybe he's just royally confused and doesn't know what he wants at that point, so it sounds like a letting go, but he's just confused—and her response doesn't make it any better. I must say that I find it comical that you speak as if you KNOW Brooks, have personally met with him and are privately privy to all of his feelings. Forgive me if your personal relationship with Brooks has suddenly changed in the last few days. I would challenge, however, that you are speaking in opinions rather than exact knowledge.

You basically took the words right out of my mouth. I don't understand why anyone would feel the need to praise Brooks at the expense of the other three guys. I think that Drew, Zak and Chris seem to all be great guys who come from wonderful families. These guys do fall under the spell of the bach bubble while on the show. I have no doubt that their declarations of love were sincere at the time. However, once the show is over and they return to real life then they all seem to be able to move on. Even the lead and the F1 encounter trouble once they are again in real life. That's why so few of these relationships have worked out long term.

The truth is that we don't know these guys. We can try to assess them based on what we see of them on the show. I wouldn't even bother to speculate as to what happens with Brooks and Des. But to in some way think that he is better than the other guys because he has held back in expressing his feelings, is quite disingenuous. I always wonder if it's really about building up one's favorite.

Native and LLiza, you both have summed things up great. I don't understand how it is right to pump up your fave by knocking down the others, especially when they are good. I almost hate this time of the season as sometimes things get "sparky" around here.

Guys, one Brooks fan does not speak for ALL Brooks fans. I think that Des did a wonderful job selecting her F4 guys. And although I see the connection with Brooks and are rooting for them as a couple, if in the end she picks Chris or Drew I think she'd be one lucky girl.

I've been thinking all season it has the same pattern as Ben's - one girl, all the rest was him faking it. I hope she's happy too, she deserves it, and I hope all the guys enjoyed the adventure and made life long friends. I'm guessing the producers hadn't expected it to be Brooks or they wouldn't have given him the very 1st date.

I agree with that totally, which shows she had some sort of learning curve in there.

No. It really wouldn't.

I find Des to be an honest person and when she says she is/was falling in love with Chris, I do believe her. In fact, several times this season I have thought that Chris could be a legitimate threat to Brooks (and will still hold my breathe on finale night). I think she kept an open heart and open mind as best she could but in the end her feelings for Brooks could not be matched. In contrast, I don't think Lindzy (or anyone else) EVER stood a chance against Courtney.

I think she's got adventure and spontaneity covered. I think Courtney could use someone more like Drew...perhaps some of his warm and kindhearted spirit could make her into a nicer person. Not to mention they are both from AZ!

Sorry, what am I right about....for a change. giggling

I am really wondering about how she could take Brooks back again, especially since he left and she missed out on time with him. This being of course if he shows up at the FRC only, which I am suspicious that it may be the way it goes.
