Is there anything CH would not say... just brought over what was said in the interview...

Last week on “The Bachelorette,” Desiree Hartsock had her heart broken by front-runner Brooks, who left the show early. But in a new interview, host Chris Harrison explained that he could still change his mind.

“It’s absolutely possible for him to come back in the game,” Harrison told reporters via a press call. “She may be open to it or maybe she learned her lesson and he’s not the guy anymore. … He has a history of not quite being able to commit.”

Chris Harrison Tells ABC News of Brooks’s Departure: “There Were Warning Signs”

Harrison, who called the early departure a “curveball,” added that during their conversation, Brooks seemed “wishy-washy.”

“There are definitely regrets,” he said. “He was in tears and emotionally crushed once Des started professing her love. He said as much.”

I wouldn't take that one way or another. That is WetPaint taking certain sentences out from a teleconference he had last week with several places.

I can see your point if it were not in this context.

If you watch the clip she is clearly distraught while telling Drew and Chris that Brooks chose to leave.
She said "Love is unpredictable " in reference to Brooks leaving and about how shocking it was to her.

It is Foreshadowing his return as well.

Don`t see it. How does Love is unpredictable translate into Brooks returns.
The next thing that you guys will say is that CH saying `where do we go from here` in the previews means Brooks is head over heels in love with Des. :yellowsleptic:

He had weeks to think about his decision. Starting from the HTD where he was actively looking for answers from his siblings and parent to having to go back to speak to his loved ones in order to get the re-assurance he needed. His mother bless her gave him that and you could see the relief on his face. His sister too.

Love is not unpredictable rather `love is undecided`. Yes that should be his theme for the season.

I have been trying to make this point since we saw last week's episode. This is not something he did on a momentary impulse. He had time to think it over. Many of us saw that he was not as into Des as she was into him. CH has said that he noticed it and others in production. He tried to tell her, but she always reassured him that she knew how Brooks felt. He sensed that there might be some denial with Des. That's why she never saw it coming when he left.

I agree about "love is undecided". That is a much more accurate phrase.

I like that love is undecided..great theme.for sure...

And I think too that when he "Got" out of the Bach bubble so to speak..he was home I think reality set in..really made him think what in the heck am I doing...so to speak..

I do not know, but hope they have a chance. Everyone deserves love and the choice of who to love. Cheers guys. I will be having a wonderful New Zealand Savignon Blanc this evening and if I am capable of posting while toasted I shall join you to share thoughts. <---Imelda is aware that not everyone is super excited about this. giggling

Well to me Des is the anti Emily, Courtney, Vienna, to a lesser degree Deanna in the 'baggage' dept. She seems so down-to-earth and kind-hearted. I think she's all in and willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.

I'm looking forward to the media-skipping and hopefully seeing the fun and light and in-love Desiree!

That is exactly why it is so mind boggling that he could change his mind on a dime. Did they have the time for him to call home and check that this decision was now the right one or perhaps fly him home once more ?

Unfortunately I have a bad vibe about a long, happy future...regardless of who Desiree picks. She needs to self reflect and find love outside of the Bach Bubble.

I would like to suggest one clarification on the "love is undecided" theory: he didn't have "weeks" between the hometown date and the good-bye, most certainly not, and of all the "weeks" before that he was barely spending any time with Des.

Personally, I think that whether or not he and Des are meant to be, at the point in time of the FS date, he was feeling what normal people feel before a 3rd date, often even with a future spouse: doubt and uncertainty.

Take his head out of the Bachelor Bubble and think of typical third dates.

Personally, I don't think they are going to prove to be "meant to be" either way, but I have a hard time with the idea that he could have or should have known either way where his heart was at this point in time. If someone is wrong for you, you know that a lot more certainly than you would that they were right for you, but it sounded like all he knew was that he wasn't in love yet, and dreading the idea of proposing so quickly, plus having all the pressures that come along with a FS date. Well, duh ... normal third date frame of mind.

Anyway. As I said, I doubt this couple too, but I don't feel like it is fair to them to be "certain" about it.

I'd love for them to prove me wrong :)

Just say the post on them having to sign a contract to propose at F3. Wow. No wonder the guy was crumbling.

Who wants to say they will propose before a third date?
