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

CH has to tow the company line. And he talks in "real time" for the show's timeline. I put no weight on that at all.

We shall see. That and the fact that Matt White changed his date of playing in NY to Aug 6th at some club (Desiree will be in NY on Aug 6th for GMA) tells me that Chris S is final 1.

Ummm, doesn't he live and is based out of NY? doesn't seem unusual to me..

At abcmedianet.  I don't usually believe Chris Harrison, but he seems to be spinning for her picking another guy to me.

I agree Atem. While there are a couple of mentions that a return is possibility, for the most part, he is saying Brooks and Des are done.
And he is pushing her love for Chris onto us.

I just posted an article in the media thread where Matt White said he thought Brooks would come back.
I don't think Matt White would change a singing date for The Bachelorette.

He doesn't know yet himself.  They could just pop up there.

I would think a majority of people are hoping that Brooks comes back and sweeps Desiree off her feet, but I don't think that's what happens.

I'm sorry, but I read the trascript from Chris Harrison and he makes it plain as day that Brooks doesn't come back to me. :Frown: 

It's hard to read it ...him basically saying that Brooks was just trying to look like the good guy breaking up with her.

Plus, here comes the spin as to why she says yes to someone else (IMO):

Chris Harrison: You know it's funny to though you know we did do that early but you know in the next sentence she also said she loves Chris.  And then in the next sentence you know I don't think she used, she actually used the L word with Drew but she said she was like falling for him or falling in love or whatever.  But it is funny how everyone really picked up the Brooks thing and then they kind of just forgot about Chris and then forgot about Drew.  But you know I guess it was just the way she spoke about it or maybe the fact that he was first.

That's a lie and we all know it.  Desiree never said she loved Chris S.  She said she was falling in love with him.

I don't put much stock in CH's words, but another curious thing he said was that Des did not mean that whole conflicted part, she was just trying to make Brooks feel worse.

Wow where did you find this out?..do you know DES will be on GMA? Has it been posted?

Brooks is such a gorgeous , sexy guy. He sure looks happy and at peace .   No wonder , they are almost free to fly.

Not sure how either Brooks or Des can be "at peace".  Whether they are madly in love or not, they are in the beginnings of a negative media field day and they know that.  And it won't be over on Monday night -- like I said, the beginnings!  It will be ugly for them.  Even together, there is no peace.

Just speaking for myself, but I'm going to watch the finale before I make judgment on how this ends.  Either Brooks comes back and convinces her that he truly loves her and she is the love of his life or she walks away alone.  In my eyes, choosing someone else at this point, would leave a more negative field day, because I don't see anyway possible that she could have that kind of turn-around in such a short time period.  

If Des is convinced by Brooks and is happy, that's all that should matter.  It doesn't affect our lives one bit.

Perhaps my response made it seem as if I felt that Des should choose someone else...HELL NO!!! I was responding to the rosecolored glasses concept of being "happy and at peace". Frankly, I think the realistic way to proceed would be to wait and see how life in the real world pans out, then possibly get engaged later. Do I think they really would get engaged later....not sincerely, but maybe as part of the tv show. But who cares what I think -- we don't know them at all and as you appropriately said, "It doesn't affect us one bit."

I don't need to hear fake and rosy tales of tv "love" that isn't there. Nor do Chris and Drew. I just feel strongly that neither of them are tough enough to take the heat this week or next, therefore no "peace" for them.

CH is an executive producer for the show, he will say whatever he needs to keep the speculation going and for fans to tune in... He also said Des was the love of Sean's life and that he made the biggest mistake of his life letting her go. I also remember him bashing Jef during Emily's season, saying something like " He's just really good with the lines and says whatever he needs to" He always says something negative about the F1 at some point during the season to keep people guessing. I really wound't put any stock into anything he says

[moonchild]

Chris H is just trying to keep the mystery going. And if I were Des, I wouldn't like it that he was telling people how I felt about anything. This season is worse that most with all the spin.

They would have edited this show so much differently than they did if Chris or Drew was F1. The last episode would not have been mostly about Des and Brooks and more about building the relationship with the other guy. They would have edited Brooks to be cold-hearted and fairly swift with his exit, so that the viewing audience would know it was best for Des to not be with him and she would understand that he wasn't the guy she thought he was. This is all so Chris could be there waiting for her to console her and for her to see that he was the one all along. I think it is a possibility that this happens in part based on the PI from the Munich date. It's possible that Chris will be there for her to help her through Brooks' leaving making it seem like more of a horse race after Brooks comes back.

They certainly would have edited out some of the things that both Brooks and Des said if someone else was to be F1. If that line that Des gave about how she had been conflicted wasn't important to the storyline, we would not have heard it on Monday night. Now CH is trying to put the spin on it to make it sound like there is no chance that Brooks comes back. And it's strange that he is doing this, because he has said in at least one other interview that it is a distinct possibility that Brooks could come back.

I agree with all of that, except they really don't care about the fall out the couple gets from how it's edited or what they say in the blogs. If it helps ratings, it's in.
