Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #14

[Cecilia]

All that does is make me want to slap Brooks and I don't like feeling like that, because he had to break up with her.

There is nothing on the covers of the rag mags for the finale and yet the show claims it's even more shocking.  There are no pics.  The press release sucks with barely any details and that is what I am having a hard time with.  There's no information.

I'm sorry that all that hard work evoked that reaction in you atem.
This whole show is a f**king social experiment. I mean come on.

Long post.  I just re-watched.

We have all discussed the twist of head and look of shock? surprise? bury his head in his hands after she says she loves him.  But she says it again on the pier and he just says I'm sorry but then he does say, I wonder if we had done things differently - but he thinks no, it wouldn't change his feelings and he just tells her to stop because it is hurting her more.

Now - my word for word.  Nothing is voice over.  It's either we see him say it or it is ITM.  If I quote a voiceover I will say it.

ITM Brooks "I'm surprised at the love that she has for me.  I'm surprised. The thing is I didn't want to leave her.  I wasn't expecting that. You know?  I didn't know what else to say though. I just wanted to sit there.  I didn't want to see her cry. There's so many things about Des that I love (inaudible). I want to say I love Des. You know?"  (crying)

Commercial.

They walk off pier together.
Des: "I wanted you to meet my parents."
Brooks: "So now what are you going to do?"
Des: "What?  What am I going to do?"

Then the whole exchange we discussed already - conflicted, want to give my heart to you.  I will shut up etc.

Walk more.

Brooks: "Should I go?"
Des: "What else are you going to do?
Brooks: " I don't know what to do.  I don't know what to say.  I don't know what to do."  all the while LOOKING AT HER. Cecilia's opinion: It's almost like he wants her to beg him even more to stay here or something.  Or give him an OUT from the HOLE he has now dug himself into.
Des: "You've said everything you could."
Brooks: "Then what do you...."
Des "...you needed."
Brooks: "I just don't want to leave you."
Des: "I've done everything myself and that's why I was hoping I could meet someone to share my life with."
Des then looks at him and she looks STUNNING.
Brooks: "I'm sorry." Hugs her.
Heartbeats.
He leans in closer "Bye? I'm sorry."
Des: "God. INAUDIBLE. Just stop saying it."
Brooks: "Hmmm" looks at her.
Des: "Just stop saying it."
Brooks "I'm sorry" (I mean he f**king says it again!) kisses her on the forehead.
THEN WALKS MORE WITH HER!
Des: "I don't know. You can go." NOT looking at him. "I'll go sit by myself."
Brooks: sighs.  "Bye" ANOTHER hug.  She won't touch him at first.  Then she hugs him.
"ok" "ok"

she walks to pier and cries.

Brooks SOBS. "F**king wors day of my life."  "Theres nothing I can say to make it better." More sobbing, kneeling. "Way worse than I thought it was going to be." sobbing.  "I don't want to say goodbye." More bleeps.

Brooks walks to car (i presume).  But stops and looks back at Des.  Crying.  Sobs to car.

ITM for Brooks: "I've never had a relationship when saying goodbye has been that difficult.  All those moments we had together I miss them already. I miss them a lot."

I love this Cecilia. It was good to read exactly (for the most part) what they said. It makes things clearer. You did a good job. It makes it apparent that he loves her and gives me hope again! Yippee! It does make it apparent. I especially liked the part where you said he was looking for her to give him a way out of the hole he'd dug. He was already regretting it, almost immediately, like they said.

It makes me happy and gives me hope.

CH calls it wishy-washy. I don't care what he calls it, but this all gives us a clue that he loves her and he'll come back.

Now, I hope she doesn't just slap him in the face "figuratively." Maybe literally slapping him in the face might be kind of fun.

That's ok.  I'm only kidding.  I don't think it really does tell us anything though, but how confused he was.

Bringing this over.. about the "I want him down on one knee."

If you listen to that VO she sounds giddy in the beginning breaking into (what may or may not be) happy tears.. I've never felt so loved and she says it in the red dress which is on Chris' LCD. I'd love to hear everyone's perspective on this. Do you think it's spliced? She is seen again saying, "I never felt like" To me this is an important VO if we can figure out if it was spliced.

I think that it's spliced after but when she says I've never felt so loved. You stated exactly why I think this. She sounds happy during the first part. The last part she is crying. It isn't even like she's transitioning into a cry. It's one extreme to the other.

Then it seems like Brooks is the F1. Without the first part, she seems to be crying about telling him she's not feeling it, despite feeling so loved.

[atem]

The VO about the never feeling loved was what she told Brooks when he was breaking up with her.

[clueless]

The ending has definitely been locked down tight. It would be easier for me to continue to believe the spoilers if Brooks looked a little bit happier in the pics I have seen of him post show...idk....

I'm talking about the red dress scene with "I never felt so loved" and "I never felt like"

Agree. Since I just watched the whole thing over and paused it a bunch of times.
So I don't think she says "I have never felt so loved."
She says to Brooks "I have never felt as loved" in the whole reciprocation conversation. sorry didn't write this part down. But it seemed like identifical to what we think is happening with the red dress.

Not to sound over-dramatic or anything, but I will be really upset if Brooks doesn't come back. (Ugh, I hate myself for becoming so emotionally invested in this season).
Watching back the episode, he obviously regretted his decision - "I've never had a relationship when saying goodbye has been that difficult. All those moments we had together I miss them already. I miss them a lot."
I mean, he was sobbing at the end... and it was so heartbreaking to watch the whole thing unfold.

Anyways, my bf watches the show with me and he thinks the twist ending is Brooks coming back at the FRC to confess his love for Des and propose to her. We know that there is a twist ending and I don't think her choosing Chris would be out of left field.

I think grace is talking about something different.

I can't watch it again tonight. Too pathetic and depressing. Maybe over the weekend...

It'll be depressing if he doesn't show up this next episode, for sure. Yeah. It'll be depressing if she rejects him. But . . . I don't know. I guess I have small, insignificant hope again. Now to hold onto it for five days.
