If MF went to all that trouble with Brooks.... you can bet your sweet bippy that he's going to end up being F1 :yes:

That would be too Hollywood. I hope she holds out for more than his regret.

I agree with this. Otherwise she's going to come out of this looking quite foolish. I think if you walk away from someone, there should be some real remorse and a serious explanation as to why you now want to propose.

True.

But I would enjoy the Bollywood ending proposed in recent posts ...

Ultimately, it is 90% manufactured TV show, 10% about what really is going on with the two people who end up matched. Obviously it is more fun if it makes a good story, and my main hope it isn't something that the producers forced our couple through for needless pain. If something real comes out of it in the end, then I am extra happy :)

It looks like Brooks is seriously remorseful in the previews.

That would only happen if she really didn't fall in love. MF doesn't really focus on the "real" lovestory, his focus is on creating a fantasy that the viewers will buy into whether there is a "real" lovestory or not. That is why viewers are often either "surprised" or "shocked" at the end when they find out that the manufactured lovestory wasn't the real one. jmo

^But the manufactured love story vs. real love story is in the eye of the beholder. I don't see Des and Brooks as manufactured at all. They seem the most real and raw to me.

So very true! Sometimes it is what it is. Can't make this stuff up. The first guy to doubt this process and question it although he fell for the lead. Just needed to separate the bubble from real life before he proceeded to the proposal.

Or before he was brought back at gun-point by TPTB cuz they can't have Des walk away alone.

Ok I'll play along. And was offered a free cruise in doing so. giggling

We'll see what Brooke really does, if he does walk away in some way, but I will point out that Ian very much questioned the process and if he could propose at the end of Meredith's season. It earned him a lot of dislike back then. Fortunately, more people have since figured out how unrealistic the process is and may be more willing to accept the storyline. To me, it is very real to have questions and how things can carry into real life.

Yup, and you think about them BEFORE sign up for this show.

True. Even parents are getting more savvy. They don't just fall for the gimmick. More are asking questions about the process. And still there are others inhaling the bubble's air.
