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

What a sad ending to the show. Des is in love with a guy who doesn't love her back and she doesn't love the guys who do love her. I hope it eases up next week or it will be the most depressing finale (X2) ever. I know Fleiss loves drama but tonight was enough.

I really hope that nobody proposes next week. I don't see how Brooks could possibly be there after everything we saw.

Well said. I couldn't agree more. He sure seemed to me to be in love with her. There was just too much noise in his head. He lit up when he was talking with his family about what a great girl Des is.

Des must have really come to understand him. She said he over analyzes.

Yeah, that was neat.

I'm with you in loving everything that went down tonight. I don't know how many will agree, but I love this kind of raw emotion and it's so romantic.

I am not going to assume anything until there is proof he comes back and fights for her.

Actually out of everything you said, I can ONLY see Brooks being there . Nothing else fits for Des. Brooks just needs to find his way back to Des. Simple? No but Possible? :yes:

If Brooks returns, it had better be not only at the FRC, if they want it to be even a little believable.

It would be a slap in the face to Drew or Chris to be chosen after this.

I can only imagine how difficult this episode was for all 4 of them to watch tonight.

I do wonder how many mind games they played with Brooks??

AFTER THIS, HE BETTER GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND PROPOSE! Remember those forceful words? Now all we need is to see why such a bold statement from Des.
Yes, she did say that, and it would not have been about Drew or Chris. Backlash against Brooks in spite of knowing how the contestants can be manipulated by their handlers, etc.

Of course we weren't going to see Brooks having his regrets 10 minutes after telling her those things...it would have to set in over the day/night or couple of days. But he was already missing their times together, this man who couldn't say he loved her.

Maybe people will kill me, but I find it so romantic.

Me too.. I'd rather hear how all this got worked out at the ATFR.

Brooks loves this girl, and he was going to protect himself and dump her before she had a chance to dump him... he was going to strike the first blow, leave her before he was the one being left... after all, he knew that Zak had told him that he was in love with her, was hoping for that hometown date, and Zak and Des had a great relationship. and look what happened to Zak, he was blindsided, he never saw it coming. so what does Brooks do? strike first, put those walls up and don't take a chance, give excuses why it will never work, "how can I propose if I don't know she is the one in the end for me".

Desiree did what every woman should do... speak your heart even if it hurts. it was a revelation to him when she said "I love you" it was always you, every moment when I was away from you it was you. each comment hit that wall and moved it. that is why at the end he just wanted to stay there with her, not leave. when Des told him that she never opened her heart to any of the others except for him, you could almost hear the walls begin to crack.

Brooks will be back, he will understand that what he did was what he has done most of his life... find the reasons to back away so he could protect himself. sometimes large families are great, good support, love, understanding... but sometimes they can be the loneliest place on the face of the earth. he learned at an early age to hide his heart to protect himself, and the walls finally began to crack tonight with Des' declarations of truth. Brooks will find that truth within himself I believe and go after what he really wants in this life... not only love, but Des' love.

I believe they stand a great chance of making it in real life after a moment like this. if you love someone, you love them all the times, not just on the mountain tops, but in the valleys also. if you love someone you forgive them for their humanity, even with their stumbling.

Yes, on every point, yes!

OR how she found her way to carry on and overcome all the Brooks drama like Ali did with Frank. I think she will choose Chris or Drew...and NO I don't think it will he a default pick neither.

i agree with you and how Des can accept a proposal from the other two guys too, it's too much at this point for me but i'll support my girl whatever her choice is as long as she's in a happy place, huh that was brutal for me, i felt so bad and i'm still in shock ha !

So true. Especially your last statement. If you love someone you love someone.
