My peeve with Des is that she took both Drew and Chris to the fantasy suites, and did God knows what, and then tells Brooks she "loves him." In my opinion, if she loved Brooks as professed, she would have never done that.

She's the lead of the TV show. I doubt they did anything beyond kissing. It didn't look "steamy" to me at all.
I've never liked Des more than I do now.

Agree.. apparently she led alot of the guys on because her apparent connection with others spooked Brooks. Just watching Bres' first date he is definitely "into her", but as the season wore on the doubts came creeping in and I would guess his handlers didn't help matters. Honestly I think he does love her but his skin was not thick enough for this entire process.

But don't they always do that on this show. This is the thing about this show I don't like. Right up until the end they're saying how much they like all the guys, showing the guys they like them a lot, and taking them to the fantasy suites. All of them. Never let on how they really feel to any of them. And yet you usually know the one, by now, that they favor (though you still doubt because of the way they act with the others). They're basically sluts and cheaters and liars right up until the end. I don't see how it's showing much love to their loved one when they do that. Even Ashley did it to JP, while JP just had to look on in jealousy. But that's the nature of the show. Des obviously did it well because Brooks was totally surprised when she told him she loved him. Brooks' reaction when she told him she loved him says it all. "Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" He was even angry at her when he said, "You can always say that," or whatever he said, when she said she couldn't tell him. He let all the jealousy and insecurity and uncertainty get to him. He was just "guarding and protecting" his heart.

Now, he'll have time to think about it and the fact that she admitted she loved him . . .

Same here Cecilia. I love Des no matter what! She is the most genuine and real bachelorette in the whole Bachelorette/Bachelor history. Embarressed!

I think he may have loved her or was falling in love, but it was definitely a case of he's not that into you. As in, Des loved (loves?) him way more than he loved her, and that is never a good position to be in IMO. I'm skeptical, I will admit.

She said that was the only time away from the cameras they could actually really talk.

I feel the same and wanted such a different outcome for her.

I get that he is trying to sell a show but isn't it also his job to help the audience like the outcome especially if there is a F1 selected? Frankly, I think he was nicer to James and Ben in those blogs.
I don't know. I think what CH said in interviews/ blogs today is very consistent with what the audience has been shown so far. It's like he's holding a mirror up to the episodes that have aired and interpreting it for the audience. *IF* the Brooks as F1 spoiler is true, then he's probably been given a script to stick to about telling the story up to this point. He said that he doesn't think Brooks is a bad guy and CH couldn't give away anything to indicate a change of heart or that would be self-spoilering.

CH said in the GMA interview, that "if Brooks was still there, he would have been the final one." That quote indicates to me that Brooks did not come back.

I think it's interesting how even though he's breaking up with her and she's becoming increasingly heartbroken she still has her leg draped over his. She is angry and yelling at him and telling him not to touch her, but at the same time he wants to, and she wants to touch him, until she finally came right out and told him she loved him despite him breaking up with her. Brooks didn't want to go away, either.

Yes, because representatives of this show have never said anything misleading before hmmm

Well, not to generalize but there are 2 types of guys.. the aggressive type who will go after the woman he wants at all cost and the shy/timid/hesitant type which describes Brooks. I still don't completely understand why he internalized all the doubts he was having and didn't share them with her. I guess in real life dating it would be easier to communicate insecurities but in the context of this show perhaps he couldn't share those insecurities knowing the world was watching...
