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

[Guest]

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...

And knowing that if he did she'd probably let him go and he didn't want that. He still wanted time to explore. In real life he could communicate those doubts and still have time to explore with her. On this show, she'd have to let him go and write him off completely. He didn't want that so he tried to keep them to himself and work through them . . . but never could. THEN she says she loved him.  Wouldn't it be great if the lead was more honest with the guy she loves on this show? But then that would lessen the tears and drama.

I don't know if you read CH blogs but it really seems to me like he doesn't like Brooks...and I think if he was F1 CH would be a little nicer to him. All season it has been Brooks is an "enigma" "unsure", "redflags" 'he is the only one that hasn't"... blah blah blah. Making fun of the "adjectives" or that he needed to go back to his mom/sis. Even how long it took for him to breakup with her on GMA this am.

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.

Chris always tows the company line! He isn't really lying…Brooks will return and be the F1!

"Stay tuned next week to find out what happens with Brooks, my broken heart and the remaining men. "

From Des' blog. So yeah, he's coming back!

I don't know about that.  

They're all 3 going to be at ATFR, so of course he'll be back. Maybe just not back for part 2 and proposal.

Why would he be trying to spin his way out of the ending being Brooks.

OUr very own Love_Me, SAn, Sophie have confirmed it is Brooks as well are you thinink they all got feed incorrect info?

Why would RS have to spin anything? He already laid out his senario.....


So after the “US Weekly” story today, coupled with this press release, and clips that we’ve seen, here’s my opinion of what I think happens. So I think it’s pretty clear that once Brooks gets to Antigua, he never leaves and comes back. Do I think on his date with Desiree he drops whatever bomb this is on her (he’s not ready for marriage), she leaves crying, and the date is cut short? Probably. I think it’s pretty safe to assume Brooks doesn’t get to the overnight portion of his date, and he leaves during the daytime. Doesn’t mean he leaves the island, goes home, and is never heard from again. Just means he leaves the date, and that’s where the cliffhanger lies. “US Weekly” specifically states today that one of Desiree’s men leaves during their date, and trust me, “US Weekly” is in bed with ABC and gets their stuff directly from people on the show. They work hand in hand with them every season and ABC basically lets them release what they approve them to release to build a storyline. Hence the reason the cover story today is to make you think it’s doom and gloom for Des, she’s rejected, and ends up alone. All this week’s issue is doing is seemingly setting up next Monday’s episode, and nothing after that. I think the episode is going to end with Desiree having her conversation with Chris Harrison that we’ve seen in the clips of him asking her “What do you want to do?”, and her crying and saying she wants to go home. The average fan will think that the guy she wants just left her on her date, she’s devastated, and now what’s gonna happen? And that’s around when the episode will probably end leading into the finale where Brooks “returns” at some point. That’s my best guess at this point. Could I be way off? Sure. But the picture is starting to become a little clearer for the time being.

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 . . .

I agree on the bolded statements above. That's what the show is about. The lead has to lead everyone on, otherwise there will be no show. I'm just surprised they showed Des admitting that she was in love with Brooks. I really don't like that the producers let the breakup drag on. My goodness! Des need to learn that it doesn't work when you're the one chasing the man.  She basically did the same thing when Sean let her go; begging to let her stay. Watching that breakup, I felt like she was trying to guilt Brooks into staying.  She shouldn't have picked anyone in my opinion because the situation is bad for everyone no matter how you look at it. If she's with one of these 3 guys, I'm afraid that there will be backlash and it's really going to be hard for the relationship to survive.

Yes, I do. I've said that for some time I think they got it wrong.

He doesn't necessarily have to spin his way out of it, but when you give out a spoiler and you don't know the most dramatic part of the entire season, you're not that good at spoiling.
