Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #13

[Guest]

You know, I hit on this thought in another thread, but why is it all about Brooks having to speed up (something that doesn't seem to be his style) and go Des' way? Maybe it's Des that needs to learn to bend a little and come his. She is racing ahead and he's trying desperately to keep up and she's putting a lot of pressure on him. MAYBE what she learns, the learning curve she refers to, is that she realizes that if she wants him (which she professes she does) she needs to come his way a little bit. Maybe that's what she means by wants vs. needs. She wants him to be the racehorse, a guy to just race to the finish with her, and she learns, by the end, that if she wants him she's going to need to come his way.

She sacrifices her want of the race to the finish for what she needs, him, even if that means slowing down a bit.

I mean, really, why is it all about Des?

Des is putting so much pressure on him he's about to break (it seems).

This is what Nataie Getz said in her blog:

"As for next week's drama, I have a prediction in mind. After giving it a little bit of thought for like 30 seconds, I've decided that I think Desiree's family does not show up to Anguilla. I feel like this causes a lot of tension and stress among the boys and Desiree, because they don't want to propose to a girl if they don't know her family. Maybe Desiree doesn't want them to propose to her until they meet her family. Who knows. Another prediction of mine would be that one of the guys is ACTUALLY falling in love with her (not just saying it). They may have not realized that they would fall so deeply in love with her, and they give her an ultimatum about the fantasy suite and the remaining guys. Maybe this stirs up emotions? I really don't know. But I can't wait to find out!"

Oh no! Did they send the family to Anguilla?  

 Leave it to Natalie to solve the huge dramatic mystery and circumstance no one could prepare for! The family was sent to the wrong place!

Frankly, watching that sneak peek preview again where CH says, "Are you telling me you're not in love with this girl?" I have to feel sorry for Brooks. He gets in deep and he needs more time. I can understand that. He's had two one on one dates, a few group dates (where she's dating and kissing all the guys), she's met his parents and he hasn't seen her any other time and he's suppose to propose? Really, that's quite farfetched, even for fast-movers.

I admire that he's taking it so seriously; that he isn't willing to go any further without addressing his issues with his family and with CH. He's honest. He doesn't want to hurt Des. He is admirable.

He probably does feel that Des has her sights on him at this point. She probably made it totally apparent somehow. It's all on his broad shoulders at this point and he's the man; treats women with respect. He's doing the right thing. You have to respect him for that.

The whole CH/Brooks talk reeks of producer manipulation. CH telling him he MUST go tell Des whatever it is right that moment? If it is about "being in love", or proposing, he most certainly was not obligated to talk to Des about it before their date. He should have been able to go on the date and just let stuff happen naturally which we've seen it was heading that way. making him tell her "not sure I'm in love yet" or "no proposal" was not necessary at that moment. Brooks probably wasn't prepared for that talk so he probably didn't explain his feelings in the most efficient way and thus why afterwards we see him distraught, in tears saying it is the worst day of his life and he can't do/say anything to fix it. I do not think it is an ex-girlfriend situation, that ish would have been over the tabloids so fast and the post show Des would not seem to think so fondly of her steamy hot tub sesh with Brooks or the butterflies in her stomach when she picked him up for their first date.

makes a lot of sense:yes:  but why CH did not say Des instead he said this girl ?

stop and think... if CH is talking to Brooks like an uncle he might say... so Brooks, Des is devestated, she couldn't even go on with the rose ceremony yesterday... what are you thinking about your relationship with Des?  and Brooks might run through all his doubts, crap and such and such, and 'uncle Chris' says... Are you telling me you're not in love with this girl? Brooks might say that indeed he is (or might say he is not)... then 'uncle Chris' says "you need to go tell Des this now" perhaps the part about 'before you screw this whole thing up' was cut.

jmo, not fact

[latergator]

Latergator, I have watched your video a number of times and just love it....it is perfect for their love story. Another line i love from this is, "I can learn how to treat you good, if you teach me not to give up...and I will do the same for you".

Also, I totally agree with your post. As much as I like Chris and Drew the one she loves is Brooks. Whatever the next few weeks bring they will work through it and be stronger because of it. :Nod:All of the Des and Brooks videos have helped get me through these tough days. When I start to have doubts I watch them and am reminded of the love they have.

thank you Rolly... I keep watching it too.  I love the song and felt it was just perfect for them.

I know. It pisses me off that CH urged him to go talk to her, knowing exactly what would occur. He probably just wanted some more advice, insight.

That's how I perceived it.

[Jeepers]

Ok .. Get the tomatoes ready..

But .. This series of SCs has bugged me since first seeing them .. Could it possibly be THE one and only SCs of the FRC with Brooks as the F1

 Yup. She's getting what she wants from Chris and Drew. Assurances and proclamations of love. But what she needs imo is to be with the man she is in love with and I believe returns those feelings even if it is at a slower pace than the others. It actually would mean more to me if i were in that position to know the guy thought it through and even struggled a little because that would show me he is serious about it and when he did say it, I'd know he truly believed it and meant it. TPTB are getting what they want though. My friend (unspoiled) is drinking the  :koolaid:and thinks Brooks isn't right for her because he seems so unsure still. She says she should have kept Zak instead since he really loves her. SMH.

[bilolo]

I would say Des though and why CH urged him to tell Des huh i think he wanted some more drama knowing how she felt about him, you bad boy CH

well, she's wearing the peach dress that she had on when she talked to CH. we saw in the background the framed pics of drew and chris so it would seem to me it is the F3 and brooks is not there because he has left. i think they are being extra stingy with caps because of the twist at the end. right now they want us to think she ends up with no one. if it is brooks & chris at the FRC i bet they will probably make all the legs & feet look exactly the same to throw us all off.
