Sounds like it is being forgotten that this is just a tv show!! In regard to the bolded above, he completely humiliated Des on tv by waiting so long to acknowlege his truth...why should Brooks receive a pass for his own pure self-concern?? I bet that, as soon as he got in the limo, he called his Mom to ask what to do now....or perhaps he called Michael and he asked HIS Mom for advice for Brooks. Speculation aside, we can all be sure that Brooks himself was unable to figure out his next move. Why should the show save him when he cannot save himself??

Des humiliated Des by being so gaga over him openly to CH and the TV audience but saying nothing about truly loving Brooks to Brooks until he was breaking up with her. She was the one who blurted it all over everywhere and gave herself very little wiggle room. Brooks was clueless. He had nothing to do with her embarrassing herself. He had nothing to do with her giving him a pass every week. I agree with Brooks, Why didn't she tell him that earlier? Brooks was kept in the dark.

Brooks seems to be able to figure out his next moves just fine. He needed support in breaking Des' heart. Different story. He didn't want to do it. He needed sounding boards. He'd already made up his mind. He just knew the gravity of it. Just like he knows the gravity of proposing to someone, which is so refreshing to see on this show.

So, I hope, if he does propose next week, that it's because he did recognize that deep love for her.

That, too, would be shocking And that's the one I fear.

This whole season has been at Brooks' expense because this whole season Des has made it about him.

I agree with your point, too, BarbB222. They've been working so diligently and hard to hide this ending, to make it look like she chooses no one and that Brooks is gone for good. After what he said, it'd be shocking, out of left field and make no sense to most people if he returned and proposed. What happens with Brooks is the secret they seem to be protecting even at the expense of Brooks (once again). I hope that's the one we see. I hope, I hope.

I agree that would be shocking. But how many people would that truly make "happy" per MF (if he can be believed)? Unless something changes and it's believable with regard to her feelings about Chris over Brooks, I cannot see choosing Chris as making many happy because she has said on multiple occasions that she is in love with Brooks, has been in love with Brooks for awhile and that what she feels for him is above what she feels for anyone else. As of F3, she clearly said if Brooks proposed she was going to say "yes." She was going to tell him she loved him and he was the one during the FD according to what she told Brooks during the breakup.

I think we'll see your second scenario. :Smiley: Not saying I'm not a bit nervous about what happens with Chris, but I still firmly believe in Des and Brooks. I know we have the limo ride preview with Chris, but I really don't see his actions in that brief clip as simply rubbing his face because he's nervous. It's not a positive image in my opinion.

Maybe they'll play Andy Grammar's "I Choose You" for Brooks. Hugesmile

I can't imagine what Brooks is thinking now that he's seeing the show and seeing all she's saying behind closed doors. Just like Des was surprised by what he said to his family and CH, I bet you he's surprised.

This was a great perspective, and one that so many of us share. Thanks for posting, Bee!

bringing this over from my post in the Chris thread... many are indicating that because Chris has been true and faithful to the end that Des will just wake up and realize that Brooks is not what she needed, but it was Chris. is this how Brooks supporters feel? or the Des supporters feel? I think I know its not how the Bres supporters feel.

clueless wrote:Through out this entire season, for me of course, Chris has been the guy that has been steady, straight and true for Des, overshadowed by Brooks/Des, but always in the background, strong and supportive, building a relationship with Des that has all the essentials to move forward....I think Des was so excited by her love crush on Brooks that she didn't realize that she really was building a solid foundation with Chris (jmo) because she never considered Brooks would leave..So following Brooks' departure, I think that Chris will be the guy that says, I know what we have and I am gonna wait for you to know it too and I am not leaving..

I do think Brooks comes back and Des may think she will pick him and may even let Chris go...but I think there is a great possibility that the final final result may be Chris (mesnick style).

Just because Des may have chosen Brooks if he stayed does not mean (to me) that she doesn't love Chris or can't be as "in love" with Chris. I saw all the elements between them...I believe if Brooks is removed from the equation, Des will "focus" and see that what she wants and needs is "standing right in front of her".....

wow, this is the kind of reasoning that is used by many for those who are gay... if they would just stand still and focus and see that being gay is wrong and being straight is the only way, they will come around. you cannot be what you're not, you cannot feel what you don't, your heart cannot change that quickly. the kind of self-realization you are speaking of comes with time.

Chris is a great guy... he will make a great bachelor if he decides to go that way. if not there is some woman out there who is the ying to his yang. but I would seriously wonder if Des chooses him in the end and that he goes along with it. he was the most aware of Brooks and Des' relationship, you can tell that by the way he watches them, the things he said about Brooks. I think when Des tells him about Brooks leaving he will stand by her cause he does love her, but I think that is the only reason. I believe he will be willing to propose to give Des an ending to this series, but I believe it would be a half-hearted proposal (he will want to do the right thing for her, to help her save face).

Well, basically it's going to be that she fell in love with Brooks and he left and she opened her heart again and fell in love with Chris S and he will be fine with it.

Get real. The show keeps playing that song, because it's the final couples theme song. They are playing it again and again for a reason not just for the heck of it. They are going to basically start trying to sell them as a couple.

atem, I must me tone deaf... the only time I have heard this song on the show was on Des and Brooks' first date on the bridge. am I wrong about that?

by Guest Wed Jul 31, 2013 11:49 am

I don't want her to choose Chris after her talk with Brooks. Some of the VOs and evidence makes me think she may. The storyline of always picking the wrong guy is there. The forever ring seems to be from Chris though because he uses the words "forever" in that last poem and because it fits that he would want an inscription in the ring.

Also, if Brooks comes back only for Des to reject him, I think that will be producer driven.
