I can definitely see this happening! I have a feeling though that it might not be as bad as we're being led to believe it is though

Most likely. It's never as bad, once they show it, as they advertise.

Agree with both of you.

Most on the board has literally been trying to "post" him off the island but he has gone a full 3 weeks on the show beyond where the spoilers said he was. Thank goodness for screen caps !

I too wish we had sightings of him but at the same time I'm pretty sure he is better off with whatever he is doing without camaras around right now.

pbmax - I haven't read what others responded to you but IMO there are still huge holes in what we see, what others think they see and what is spoiled. IMO IMO IMO.
it should be an interesting next couple of weeks for sure.
Bottom line is Des seems to be extremely happy so there is good to look forward to.

Now you know how Brooks fans feel.

After his mother and sister express their fondness for Desiree and their thoughts about her being a perfect fit for their large, boisterous family, the bachelor, now with the reassurance he needs, boards the plane for Antigua.

So why the breakdown with CH????

ITA that this took place before F4 RC. Why the change? Because maybe Zak's departure affected him. They talked after about Zak not seeing this coming, Zak looked confident but then was gobsmacked. It shook him up. He might be like Atem. Really wants to be there in the end but doesn't think he will be. This process affects him differently. He just does not want to be disappointed . Does not make a person bad. Just not quite that sure.

And if they are going to present it as "Brooks went back home to talk with his family" and came back reassured, why the big switch again?? Why the drama?

You don't? What do you mean?

The press release gives some info, but we all know it's not 100%. I have no idea.

Well, just because someone looks like they're fine after a talk with someone doesn't mean that they're 100% fine, convinced and ready to go on. Doubts or concerns may creep in once again. And that is kind of disconcerting at this point in his game. I don't think he'd even need to be prodded to still have doubts and concerns . . . which is concerning. Because, despite the fact that I was a lot like Brooks and Des once when it comes to love, when I did find who I was suppose to be with I knew it immediately. I felt it. I never felt worries and concerns. Deep down I just knew.

IF Brooks did have lots of doubts and concerns or uncertainties all along, you just have to wonder. You also have to wonder if the coming back was just because of the usual initial pain, loss, uncertainty of losing someone whom you have strong feelings for, even if, ultimately, it's the best thing for you to do—just leave, and keep it that way.

The jeep date is his FD, right? So the horseback riding is definitely another time. I still think she lets him go during the crying scene.

I think he storms off like RS said. RS just had the wrong timing. Hence dumpster .. whatever it is that CH said.
