Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 - Fan Thread - Discussion #3

I need to re-watch tonight. I watched once last night and I was so tired from that boring finale and so upset that he hasn't returned that I wasn't even paying all that much attention.

She had a choice: go home! Mend your wounds, take time to get over it. I probably would have more respect for Des if she had ended up with no one. It's not like she couldn't have met someone in the real world afterwards. That being said, I like Chris so if they can make it work, great. I just don't see how a lasting relationship can get started like this, with her being in love with someone else days before.

I think CH likes Brooks just fine. Now that it's over he can lay off him.

Maybe. But I don't know how "intellectual" his last girlfriend was.

Hmmm....I wondered that myself!

Oh right! Total dig - "your next break up."

She wasn't to me!

Agree. And with a more hipster vibe.

I been reading Juliet's blog all season and yes once again hit the nail on the head...I said the very same thing last night. That "guilty" line stood out to me!

Des weepily explains that she "never felt like anyone has ever loved me as much as I have loved them. And I think that's why it's hard to feel so loved because I don't know what it feels like … I feel guilty. How could I not have loved him from the beginning?" So there you have it. Des chooses Chris out of guilt and appreciation for how much he loves her (and maybe because he's sweet and handsome, but those are lower on the list). We also need to thank the background piano music for being nearly effective enough to distract us from the fact that last week she was crying over Brooks.

I know! I wanted him to say - "F U, Chris"

I think CH resents Brooks for almost ruining the show...I think they really had to work hard to get Des to stay in it and he is upset.

I don't think she is, at all. I don't regret him leaving her, at all, except that it made the ending of this show suck. But ever since his HTD I couldn't see them together. I didn't think that she would fit into his life.

Ooops, I see it now and totally agree! He is nothing like Jef!

He didn't say anything about Jef. It was "not F1 behavior"...just spelled it "eff"

Once he realized that she didn't know the difference between adjectives and verbs...it was all downhill! LOL
