My sources this season were wrong. The lack of screencaps showing Brooks at all with Desiree that last week in Antigua should have been a big clue. I can't explain or revel why the spoiler of Brooks being the F1 seemed so accurate. That doesn't really matter now. Everyone has expressed how they want us to sleuth and go back to good old fashioned detective work.

Well, I have good news...that is what I plan on doing for the next Bachelor season.

IMO I don't think Desiree is over Brooks. The edit this season was such a disservice to Chris and Desiree. If we were supposed to be watching a genuine love story unfold I feel cheated. Maybe, I will change my mind after watching this entire season back for a second time.

I am human and we all make mistakes. Unfortunately, I made a big one. You win some and lose some. Life goes on.

Aww not your fault! You and San are amazing as always. On to the next season! High clap

Funny did not watch the season but look at the screencaps just now and saw it that Chris was the one on the fantasy date the red rose spoke volumes beside the late night pool date and she throwing her leg around him in the ocean quite obvious he was the winner and she seems to cant keep her lips off him either. Darn I miss it all

Have fun sleuthing next season, but I am happily done.

Unless, it's my dream of the F2 ladies rejecting the lead.

Ok, best Bachelorette ending ever! I know a lot of you will disagree with me and feel tricked because you wanted Brooks to come back. But Des and Chris look soooo happy together. After Emily and Jef's breakup I was wary of Des picking a Mormon. I think Des and Chris have a much better chance of staying together. Plus, Chris just seems like a nice guy that will treat Des well. Congrats Des and Chris!!

I think it's clear that Chris was second choice. That being said, so was Molly. It's what happens now that matters. I was a fan of all three so I thoroughly enjoyed the proposal. I do feel the rest of the episode was kinda boring though.

Much respect for Brooks for his decision and so very happy he didn't come back.

Agree with it all. Deleting Bres pictures tomorrow, but not ready yet. I love Desiree and feel for her with how this all went. I just wanted to see her happy, cute, smiling self tonight by ATFR and I didn't. That's what's worst to me. I hope her joyful nature returns as she moves forward in real life and is done with this fiasco. People so nice shouldn't be the leads on this show. IMO, The producers really crapped on her with the whole set up of showing all the I love Brooks, the hour long gut-wrenching breakup and then a tepid episode with tonight with Chris. I hope she's happy, either now or ultimately.

I'm glad the spoilers were wrong, nice being pleasantly surprised. Wasn't really into this season, but did enjoy the finale and felt for Des...loved her dress and she looked gorgeous. Still don't see how she could turn off her feelings for Brooks so quick and "fall" for someone else, but happy to see both she and Chris are willing to try and make it work.

Don`t feel bad. You passed on what you were told - no harm in that at all.
But you are a sleuth from way back (San too) so hopefully will join in the questioning and the sleuthing side more next season. I know you took a backseat this season and you both were missed.
The foiler was not for you but for RS - I truly believe that.

And while I am happy for Des, the edit did do a disservice to Chris and Des. This was more of a drama story than a love story. But she seems happy now so hopefully that is the case. Chalk this one up to a learning curve. IMO TPTB had no clue on how to handle the edit for these guys either. So they just put it out there and let the chips fall as they may.

She seems happy I just think she might be pissed they focus so much on brooks and not her love story with Chris.

by Pattycake92 Tue Aug 06, 2013 1:20 am

Yeah relaxing, I didn't see her as giddy tonight. But maybe she's just exhausted. She is moving to Seattle for him so I think she's quite serious in attempting to make it work.

I'm excited about going back to sleuthing, Love. All of the sources were fooled so no apology necessary.

I did see something with Des & Chris and don't feel she's pining for Brooks. I imagine watching did bring some feelings back like it did with Drew. I know she said what she said but I also saw her with Chris on their dates and she seemed very snuggly with him on the recent ones plus he got all water dates from Madeira on. I loved the proposal and I'm usually against them, especially this season. She seems very happy with Chris and I have hopes for them.
