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

[julychild]

I just hope Brooks doesn't return. He doesn't deserve the crap they're going to give him. I say, Brooks, stay far far away. Something tells me he's going to give them plenty of hatchet-job fodder in the future, though.

You can tell when Chris doesn't care for someone and he is not a Brooks fan...he gave Courtney a lot of excuses for her bad behavior. He has not let up on Brooks at all.
Im sorry I just don't think that happens if he is F1.

Last season, Chris H did not come off as 'supporting" of Catherine, either, and was always more positive about Des and her relationship with Sean. Clearly, she wasn't F1 and ended up being the next bachette. What if it's the same MO this season and Chris is going to be the next bach?

He sure wasn't!  He was always saying that Desiree was Sean's 'love of his life' and how they lit up when they saw each other again.

Chris usually write the best comments about the person being considered as the next lead. At times he can over-sell the "relationship" between that person and current lead, so that they can go on and on about how the person was hurt in the end. However, he doesn't write outright negative stuff about the F1, even as he downplays that relationship.

I think she's way too sweet and caring to accept a proposal from one of "the other men". It seems preposterous to me that anyone thinks she's engaged to Chris or Drew. I wish her the best if she is, but it's just mind boggling if she is.

I'm sooooo with you Pattycake!

They didn't spend all of this time on the Des and Brooks story/saga for nothin!

And CH very conscientiously and notoriously steers people in the wrong direction each season. Chris, lovely guy that he is, is being way too oversold by TP & Ch, and he is far too confident in his relationship with Des to be F1.

there's the possibility of him coming back and Des dumping him omg that would be crazy too hahaha

All i want is that smile in my avi when i watch the ATFR

That is not even funny.

Does anyone mention how scripted she is with Drew and Chris S? I mean, seriously I don't think there is anything off the 'script' they do.

From all the evidence and what was said last night by Brooks and the media today, I just don't believe he's coming back.  I still love Brooks and would love a happy ending for Desiree and him but I think their happy ending happens after they go their separate ways and find the loves of their lives elsewhere.  I'm glad some Bres fans are keeping the faith though.  Good for you.  You never know what will happen until next week.

Anyways, to make myself even sadder about this whole thing - here is the picture of Brooks with his mom and sister talking about Des catching you off guard. Look at that sweet, caring face.  I don't care what happens, what he said or what anyone else thinks, I see love in it.   It's really too bad it had to go the way it seems to have gone.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this, so maybe I didn't hear it right, but I thought Brooks' sister or mother asked him if Des shared any of his uncertainties.  (I'm paraphrasing, not quoting.)  His answer was something to the effect that he didn't know, and maybe during their FD he'd find out if they were on the same page.

I never thought Brooks said he absolutely didn't love Des, only that he wasn't absolutely certain, that he didn't think he could get to absolute certainty by the end of filming, and that he should be absolutely certain before he proposed.

I'm not sure Brooks went into his FD with the idea that he was leaving.  I wonder if he just wanted to be completely honest with Des, but then found himself on a runaway train.

There's such a major edit shift this season because we've been allowed to hear Des state very clearly, and on several occasions, that she's in love with Brooks.  Here we are at the end of FDs, a week away from the FRC, and she's not only saying she's in love with Brooks.  She's also saying that, although she loves the other two men, she knows what a complete love feels like and she can't give that kind of love to either Chris or Drew.

It just seems to me that if Des is still with one of these guys, it must be Brooks.  But then, I'm a Brooks fan so of course I'd see it that way.  I just hope that all four of these kids are in a very good place in their lives now.

I am with you Relaxing.  I also saw love when he talked about Des with his family.  He lit up from the inside out.  Too bad he didn't see it. But we disagree on one point I do believe that he is coming back next week.

i think he sees it by the end of that episode. he didn't want to leave. he said love is about being vulnerable and there is a pain associated with it. i think he didn't have that feeling of being in love with des before but now knowing how painful it was to leave des he realizes he does love her. it's true that you can't be in love unless you allow yourself to be vulnerable. he wasn't allowing himself to be vulnerable with her. i think once she told him she loved him he could open up and be vulnerable, but it was obviously pretty crappy timing since he was in the middle of breaking up with her. he wouldn't allow himself to feel that love out of fear of getting hurt or he just didn't know he was feeling it. maybe both, plus the show is so fast he didn't have enough time to be with her and to process everything. he didn't want to propose if he truly wasn't in love and so felt he had to go home. i'd bet money next week we'll see him saying he didn't realize it before but now he does know he loves her because the thought of now leaving her on that island and never seeing her again is unthinkable and so painful. on the HTD when he was talking to his sister and she says you always want to be with them when you are apart he made a comment about longing. i don't think he had that longing for des yet and so he didn't feel he was in love with her. well, now he has it bigtime. he already misses their times together and doesn't want to leave.

Oh, great. Guess who has a teleconference on Thursday? Ugh! Chris Harrison! Why not Zak?! Why not Juan Pablo?! Why not any of the other guys? The last person I want to hear from is Chris Harrison's crap.
