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

[Guest]

Too many people are picking and choosing VO to fit their final outcome and ignoring others.  

If you are talking about me.. I said it seems like it's Brooks if it's spliced.

Where is the video of the VO in the red dress?

hmmm, got an interesting text tonight, totally unexpected.  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

still together and happy :-)

I'm not saying that its true or not, there is no indication who it's about, but my original spoil was Brooks F1, Chris F2, and Drew F3

I posted this over in F1 thread, but thought Brooks needed the up lift tonight :cutesmile!:

 What? From who????? Are you talking about Brooks & Des?

No, just in general. She says I've never felt so loved in that red dress.

Both are in episode 1. The VO is in the promo at the beginning. Then you just hear her say one part of it.. "I never felt so loved" in the red dress in the preview at the end. To me, it sounds like the same long sentence.

In another preview she is in the red dress and says "I never felt like" which seems like the next sentence. I think it was in the MTA preview.

I understand your sentiments.  i was pissed after watching the episode this week.
But it's not our lives so come Monday, if they are engaged, I hope they work out.  I still think he's hot and sexy and she's pretty and has had a challenging life and overcome a lot of obstacles. Maybe he has too.  Really that's all we know.

I just don't really understand how I get sucked into the Bachelorette every time.  Bachelor - I don't seem to care.  

You know what?  Me too!  I really don't give a hoot about The Bachelor's final pick compared to The Bachelorette!  Heck, I'm more focused on who the next lead should be for The Bachelorette.  Maybe, due to so many sucky Bachelor leads?

Yes, atem. I have really never been a fan of a Bachelor lead, but find myself being a fan of bachelorette guy contestants (Reid, Chris L., JP, Jef (arie just a little?), Brooks). I guess I kind of thought Jason Mesnick was a decent guy. Plus, I don't like the female bitchiness on the bachelor.  And I really only like the Bachelorette once they start traveling. And on the Bachelorette,  I always end up liking the female lead better than I thought I would (in Ashley and Des season especially) and that rarely happens to me in Bachelor (except for Sean, liked him better than I thought I would).  

Weird.  Psychoanalyze that. Probably because it's more fun for women to fantasize about picking out of 25 men who all "want her" while she wears fabulous clothes and travels the world. Less appealing when you are one of the 25.

sorry - this is off topic.

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."

Cecilia, Thank you for all of this work.  It really highlights where his head was when he left her.

There was something that she said before the exchange that you have written here.  And I think it points to the question of would she take him back if he came back.

When they were still sitting down she told him, " I love you, I do.  Even though you broke my heart, I love you."

I love that and I love that she loves him and I love that she loves him no matter what. If anything will break down walls that will. Des loves Brooks completely and I think it's reciprocated and it makes me

I agree. I'm more into the Bachelorette and like the contestants more. I think the bitchiness of guys is more interesting to watch.

Only Bachelor that I did care about who was final 1 was Jason and Aaron.
