*No Spoilers* Episode 11 - 8/5 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion

I just posted this on the 7/29 episode thread and then remembered it might be better posted on this thread...

LibbyBell wrote:I had a friend from work, another bach fan, ask me my thoughts on this season. I shared them with her and then she asked if I thought Brooks would come back. She knows that I am staying away from spoilers so I'm not sure if this is just speculation or something more but here is what I shared with her: There have been many seasons that a guy (typically F3) is rumored to return to "fight for the woman he loves"; most notable, Reid. If Brooks does come back, Des would be a FOOL to take him back!! First of all, most of the returnees are in love with the bachelorette; Brooks has already said that he is NOT in love with Des. Secondly, Des has shared that her past relationships have broken up because the guy has trouble communicating and expressing his feelings....hello, sound like Brooks?!?! The only way that this scenario would not be a disaster would be if the show really is as scripted as some say and Des and Brooks were both in on this storyline which, I hope is not the case... :skeptic:

Don't know whether I should be looking forward to the finale or not!! no idea

LibbyBell, thanks for continuing to share your thoughts. Unfortunately, I'm spoiled so I'm going to refrain from responding. Can't wait to hear your thoughts after the finale!

I've wanted to stay unspoiled for the last several seasons and actually made it awhile this season, however, I always read the "new posts since last visit" and got spoiled by the title of a thread. Oh well, maybe next season. I would love to see a bunch of us stay unspoiled so I could watch people sleuth out the ending again.

Thanks Chacharo! I've been spoiled for every season since Jillian's, so this season has been different! There have been close calls (even in the no spoilers threads!) when I've thought a little too much info was about to be said so I've just stopped reading. Oh well...proud to say I've even avoided looking at magazines at the grocery store!

Libby, you can look forward to the finale: Des chooses the man in my avatar! giggling

I spent the season unspoiled until after episode 6. It was so refreshing that I'll likely do it every season.

I love reading your impressions!

veg!!! One of the things I've done is to read posts on my phone. I have set the view to be zoomed in so that I don't even see the avatars. I did remember yours was Ryan from Emily's season though and I did check to make sure you hadn't changed it! I've also learned to skim over any photos posters have in their signatures. Again, I've tried hard to remain unspoiled!

He'll always be my loon, that Ryguy!

Good on you for staying unspoiled for so long: it's so tricky to maneuver! Impressive work, lady!

Veggie's AVI is one of my absolute favorites. Every time I see it, I think of her in that same pose loving life and spreading happiness. bestbud!

Libby, your making it to the finale unspoiled is very impressive! I can't believe you were able to divert your eyes from the magazine covers. I would have to totally avoid the grocery store and the message boards to accomplish what you have! You have inspired me to try again next season!

by LibbyBell Sat Aug 03, 2013 10:02 am

I think the hardest has been not watching the interviews on TV like Extra or Access Hollywood. Staying away from the magazines... I just don't go to the grocery store! I guess we have been eating out more!

Oh me too - big time. That way I can stay away from the boards too.

If Love_me can post that episode SCs and preview SCs for us over here then we can do our own little SC discussions like albean and Co did at the start of the season. It should be fun and interesting.

Yes but those would have been a problem for you slightly earlier on in the season - like around the F5. Now it isn`t such a big deal really. Well IDK perhaps it is.

Most of them are just propaganda for the show anyway. They know as much or little as anyone else does lol.

ETA : This side is way pleasanter because there aren`t any fandoms in place here.

I wish there was some way of having a spoiler free zone but with all the BTS information available i.e actual sleuthed stuff like gps locations, sightings, tweets and interviews etc. In other words back to the old days prior to RS and these darned confirmed spoilers. Sucks the joy out of the season for sure.

I probably would have stayed unspoiled if there was more action here. I'm game to try again but agree with Nd that it would be helpful to have more info & also I'd add SCs. We had very limited ones. I did venture into the spoiled threads but it's hard to avoid seeing something even in the SC no discussion threads because they have the f4 couples there. It's a lot of work for San & Love so not sure what the solution is.
