Re: Episode 10 (Finale Part 1) - 7/29 - Bachelorette 9 - Thread #1

Where is Chris in all of this?

I want to look for info about his helicopter date, which is apparently his FD since it is part of the description for Epi 10. I'm guessing that visiting Devil's Bridge and Stingray City are the same date since they are both in the same vicinity, which means that is Chris' LCD in Epi 11. cmiiw!

Thanks! So that means her horse riding outfit matched the one she wore during THE TALK, right?

Yes. You can also see the white from her top.

Thanks! Still try to figure out which date is FD and which is LCD for Drew.

It is possible that Brooks actually has the coastal drive date, and they just don't mention Drew's to keep the suspense alive.

You really think Brooks gets a date after what we saw? I don't see how when you've got Des crying & wanting to go home in the same top.

What if the crying scenes actually happened later, when they were meeting for his LCD. It would mean that Des couldn't let any of them go at F3 RC. That could be why she was so upset with CH at St Anne's. He asked what she wanted to do and she said 'let them all meet my family.' And the edit has hidden this to keep the suspense alive.

Is there anything that proves that the Brooks scene happened around FD time instead of later?

I know I have said this before, but what if the drive/horseback ride/beach date is actually the FD. To me, that means that they resolved any issues that may of come up. The picnic date with the lobster is more like a LCD date than a FD and I also think the kissing on the bed at the Verandah considering the accommodations, I would think that is more like a LCD room versus a FD room.

Ok so obviously it is Chris with the helicopter date and therefore Drew with the drive up the coast.
Things is we don't know where Drew was actually staying to know if he had to drive to Shirley heights for their picnic or not. If he was actually at St james it could not be that much of a drive.

Where is the horses date taking place at ? Close by to the verandah ?

Now I'm confused again.  I thought that the Rendezvous Bay with the horse riding was part of the FD and Shirley Heights was LCD.  Has this changed???

I do think that the Shirley Heights is FD...

I'm not sure because it makes more sense to talk about driving up the coast when you're going to do something on a beach. If it were the Shirley Heights date you'd think they'd talk about the picnic or the view and not the drive. I wasn't before but now I'm leaning towards the horseback/beach being the FD especially now with the description. Of course they can't be more detailed so we'd know for sure.

I agree.  Hopefully we get a more fleshed out episode description soon ! But IMO the drive up the coastline  would end at a beach and not on a hill (Shirley Heights). Besides, even before we got this episode description a few of us have been thinking that Shirley Heights was LCD. IMO it is much like Em/Brads LCD activity. I thought Beach was more FD. Now it turns out that it is a drive + ???. We don't know yet.

So, a drive, a horseback ride, and beach time...kind of a lot to fit into one.  Wonder about the horseback ride/beach being the FD, then drive to shirley heights/picnic the LCD?  OR am I totally confussing things?

We already know the drive is for the FD. It makes more sense that the drive goes with Rendezvous Bay because it's farther away.

Re: the 2 part finale. To me the cliffhanger is that Brooks, the one Des professed love for, left. Will she be left alone in the end or will she end up with one of the other two? Or will Brooks come back?

There's no way that Des can't make a decision about who to send home f3. Brooks isn't there so it's going to be like Ali's other than we're fairly sure Brooks returns.

Re the bolded, I said this elsewhere too but I feel pretty sure that Brooks leaves during the crying meltdown scenes, Des carries on at the RC with just Chris and Drew a la Ali but is clearly a mess. After the RC, still same episode Brooks appears. No guess on how, Des goes to him, or he comes to her etc. Then there are 2 obvious cliff hanger options - end the show on does she take him back? or we see her take him back right at the end of the episode and know she still has 3 guys heading into the finale. Two-part Finale.

Possible but why bother with all the previews showing him leave if we're going to know he's back before the finale part 2? The only reason they're interesting (in a dramatic tv way) is that Des could possibly be alone if the one she loves leaves and there's no indication he's coming back. That's what they were hinting at with the preview showing all of the guys look like they're leaving either in a limo or the talk with Drew. If Brooks returns then there's no cliff hanger because of course she'd take him back at that point. It's also more interesting if he comes back after she had MTP & LCD with 2 guys because then she could be invested in the other 2 and no guarantee she'll let him come back then.

If this scenario pans out, THIS would be why Fleiss likes Des so much...because those actions will cause a ton of watercooler conversation about this show. People will lambast her for going on with the other two and then letting him come back. I feel for her, if true.

[albean99]

I don't know when we'll get more previews but Brooks fans should hope that they show him coming back and talking to Des because if they make it seem like she's going to turn him away you know he'll be the f1 for sure.
