They allowed Frank to go back and visit his ex before he flew out.

After his HTD was the RC the next day or what?  This is so much attention on a non The Bachelor contestant, that's for sure.  

After the HTD RC Frank went back from LA to Chicago.

The mystery Brooks SC could be from his talk with his mom and sister in Utah.

Momoftrips beat me to it :D

But, it seems like his conversation with them is a positive one, not negative about Desiree fitting with their family.

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.

I was just thinking the same thing. We could never figure it out but we didn't know we'd see him at home again.

The poster wasn't saying Brooks was going back and forth.  She's saying we will see bits about Brooks at home while dates of Drew and Chris go on.

What do you mean by the poster?  I only read the episode description.

Where is this information/post from kebarrera?

From the press release, it sounds like we are going to be going back and forth from the US (with Brooks) and Antigua with Chris and Drew. Has that ever been done before where one of the F3 stays behind trying to figure out whats best for him?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that when they talk about Brooks in the U.S., it's prior to him leaving home after the HTD to travel to Antigua.  Anyone else think that?  It didn't come across to me that he traveled to Antigua and then back to Utah again.  But I'm usually wrong, LOL.

This is what I was reponding to.

It clearly says that Brooks talks to CH and CH says he better talk to Desiree!  So, he does.

He's not there at the RC, but it spills into Aug 5th, because the horseback ride w/ Drew ISN'T part of the FD.  

So you think that at the rose ceremony Chris and Drew are there, but she's emotional and says she's conflicted/confused because of her strong feelings for Brooks?  Chris definitely looks unnerved and uncomfortable.  Wonder if she actually hands out roses or sort of leaves them hanging..

I was thinking this morning (that's always dangerous) that this could be similar to seasons in the past where they have tried to create the appearance of drama in the previews where there is none or is very little.  All of the business about Brooks' lack of commitment is created for the sake of drama.  If you look at where Brooks is at this point in the storyline in comparison to some past F1's, he is right where he should be.  But, what they did was ramp up the others to claim their love for Des much earlier than normal to make Brooks look like he is lagging behind everyone else and HE's the one with the problem.  Normally, guys that are declaring their love as early as some of these guys did are cut fairly quickly because they don't have a good sense of reality and the lead doesn't want to make it any worse for them.  Comparing Brooks to some past F1's that not only weren't committed but were wanting to leave at some point, thinking this wasn't right for them.

Reading the press release, it is obvious that something happens out of the norm.  It is totally out of the norm to start the FD episode with one of the B's still at home talking to his family.

Could Brooks decide that he is ready to propose and goes to Chris H to tell him that he's ready to propose,  and that he doesn't want to go on with the remainder of the show, but wants an answer from Des?  This might be in the form of an ultimatum.  This creates the conflict because she feels conflicted about doing that to the remaining guys or as the show would have us believe that she now has conflicted feelings about the Drew and Chris relationships in relation to Brooks and feels that she still needs to explore those relationships to make a final decision?

Just a thought.

I really don't think this is about Brooks' lack of commitment per se.  

Then why does Des say, "I always fall in love with the wrong guys/people" and "I don't deserve to be heartbroken" "I just want to go home" and "I don't want to love someone more than they love me."

Those are voice overs from things that she has said previously in the show.

It could be prior to them talking. And prior to their reassurances.
