Episode 11 (Finale Part 2) - 8/05 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion - Spoilers

Totally what I said. They are both super dorky--and I mean that in the best possible way--they are also both "regular" people like Ash & JP. Tonight's surprise proposal melted my cold, dark, snarky heart just a little. And I have never been so happy to be mindf*cked by Fleiss in my life!

Kudos and congrats to TPTB for doing such a fantastic job and For FINALLY keeping up the suspense til the end such a surprise

Nate Hartsock gave us hints all along but we felt compelled to not believe him!

To be honest, I was on the Chris train pre-season and really wanted it to be him especially after JBF toyed with the idea of astrology but I guess I accepted the spoilers for the sake of my insanity at this forum LOL. I'm not joking, this astrology stuff is insane lol. I may be a bit obsessed with it in finding my own compatibility..

SPOILERS CAN BE WRONG!!

Haha, so I guess there will be a lot more sleuthers happening on next season! Sleuthing lives again!!!!!

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.

Hi ALbean! We both started this season trying to stay spoiler free for as long as we could and we both - while unspoiled - were able to figure out Chris & Drew in her top 3 so here's to sleuthing only the screencaps!!

I think because we stayed unspoiled for those first 3 or 4 shows, we could look at things objectively and like you ... I loved the proposal.

Congrats to CHris & Des and congrats to going back to spoiler-free!

Here's hoping Drew finds his happy ending too as I know he was a favorite for you.

Why feel bad for Chris. I am sure he is happy as ever and loving the love he found with Des. I wish them both all the best!!!!!

Kashathediva wrote:LOVE the new Banner!!

Me too!!  

But just as a west coaster, though I'm one who likes to be spoiled on ALL shows/endings, and I watch on the east coast feed, that I was surprised it was up by the time the show was just starting to air here on the Pacific coast.

I don't venture to the non-spoiled side so I don't know if you can do two different headers or not, or if there aren't really any unspoiled folks anymore, but it might be good to wait at least until the proposal part in future seasons for the sake of anyone who likes to post as the show airs but only in the unspoiled area.

They'd have already known the ending from the banner.

I only say that b/c every season (on this or it seems like most anything else) SOMEONE inevitably posts something on FB that gives away the ending of a show and at least a few west coasters get upset about it. LOL

Like I said, I really like it and I don't care - I just don't recall them going up this early in the past and some might like to find out while it airs :Smiley:

LOL, you are too much tonight....BUT don't stop! I am loving the one liners tonight!!

Rosepetal wrote:Love the banner. Back to old time sleuthing next season.

  Hooray to that!

I used to love sleuthing (and posting) on FORT. I'm one of the old-timers who was very into it for years...when it just turned into spoilers and no sleuthing, it was hard to stay motivated (for me)...thus my nearly non-existent post count here, as it's been so darn spoiler led the last many years.

I actually hope we can have more of a mix now...

Going back to good old sleuthing, but also getting to "test" things against spoilers and prove or disprove them instead of it largely being an attempt to make things we'd formerly have sleuthed just "fit" with what we've heard the ending is.

Why does he need a basement? He did the right thing. I felt Brad 1.0 did the right thing in letting Deanna and Jenny go but didn't agree with how he manipulated them to tell him they loved him.

I think Des should have a long engagement. I just don't get the happy. If Chris was my "guy" I'll be ticked how his story was shown.  He seems like such a good guy he deserved better.  This is bs imo.  Why am I the only one upset for Chris? :atomic:   .... 

The thing is, why are you upset for Chris. He sure isn't. He seems extremely happy!!

Yeah !!! TPTB played everybody (and i have an idea how) including "the five different sources". I like it because next season will be much more interesting.
