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

Yes they could re-order everything whether Brooks returns or not.
Des told his brother than he would not meet the guys till she had made up her mind. That brings up the possibility that even with Chris and Drew - she would want her family to meet them only at the end. So it is entirely possible that they switched up the order of the MTPs.

Think of how he gushed about Ash and JP.  Now compare that here.  

I don't believe I read his blogs back then, but I'm sure it's safe to say this is like night and day from that.  I can see post show success for them regardless because of what it seems it took to get there.

I guess you are just a glass half full person because I simply cannot see it at all.

Actually SMo4 is right. CH is also a barameter for post show. His POV was a bit shaky when talking about Brad 2.0 in interviews- because he knew that Brad and Emily were on shaky ground. I think same with Jake.
I always pay attention to CHs blogs and interviews without getting hung up on his exact words. I just try and get the feel of what he is trying to imply in the interview. Reading CH is not an exact science but more of an art.

When he said that the HTD was a pivotal episode he said it more than just once. It was a point that he (seemed to) underline.

On last nights preview "IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW IT ENDS YOU HAVE NO IDEA"

To me that is saying it isn't Brooks. With all the spoilers out there pointing at Brooks.

And there is nothing wrong with that at all!

I am just more analytical and sadly, I just ain't buying what the spoilers are selling.

I would have a lot more respect for Desiree at the end of the day if she pulled a Brad Part 1.  That's JMO.

Yes of course.

But I would have MORE respect for her if she was going to pull a Brad 1.0 and let the guys go at the f3 RC. Like immediately. Instead of bowing down to production and carrying on, UNLESS she was 100 perc. sure that she could move forward with one of them. Then in that case she should not be at a Brad 1.0 situtation.


I keep telling myself - Des looks happy, she is happy, whatever decision she took at the end is like a pot of gold for her and all is well.
We as fans of this show should be totally supportive of her decision at the end - doubt that will happen on this board but everyone should give it a try.

Gotta be honest here  I could not give a hoot who Des picks or doesn't pick, if they are fake or for real, or if or when the break up IRL. :hidingchair 

I have watched very little this season and probably will not watch tonight unless there is absolutely nothing else on TV and I am thoroughly bored  

I enjoy the sleuthing aspect of it and I enjoy the "travel channel" aspect of it. Every once in awhile you actually see a relationship happening and that's just an unexpected bonus. And I enjoy all of the various opinions and perspectives I see here. The boards are far more interesting to me than the actual show!  

It's her choice and her choice only, she can choose someone or go home alone, i'd still respect it because it's her life and she does whatever she wants with it.
