At the top of the page, click on your "Profile". Then there is a "Friends and Foe" tab. Click on that and then type the name of the person in the box you wish to "Foe". That's it! You will not be able to see their posts. I personally do not think it should ever get to the point where people have to use it, but that's just me.

even as a diehard Brooks fan, can't really argue with the "mumbles" nickname laugh out loud

. there were a few times this season I had to rewind and try to listen again when he talked. I've been told I mumble too though so definitely not going to dwell on that giggling

the blogger makes fun of everyone but it's so funny. here is what they said about sean & cat's comments:

Back in the Bachelor studio, The Producers have dragged Dallas Sean and New Age Girl to the audience to PROMISE, SWEAR, PROMISWEAR that they are getting married, but for real guys, no, like for reals. Totally getting married.

promiswear giggling

Thanks for sharing, gabriele!

gator~breathe in...breathe out. I know emotions are running high right now, but please don't let what someone else thinks or says effect you to the point where you respond with disrespect. The "Foe" button works wonders and that's what it's for. I understand you are frustrated and venting, but it's not worth the price. I don't want you to be banned from this site, but Love and San have to have a set of rules on how we treat each other or the bashing would be worse than a WWF wrestling match. It's been that way before and they had to shut down threads so no one could post in them.

Let's please not comment or respond to disrespectful posts. Just pass by them or Foe the people making them. I love you all and don't want anyone to get banned for responding to someone else's post. :campfire:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] excellent advice Bee, and actually uncharacteristic for me to strike out like that. I may vent in a PM to another poster, or leave a questionable smiley face, but I don't normally engage. it's just that some people just love to stand and stomp on that last nerve. but I had a decent sleep last night and am starting fresh today.

Kash, totally agree with those observations! When Brooks told her he noticed the way she looked at Chris, I felt like she wanted to break down in that moment and tell him how could he not see it was him she always kept looking for. So sad. I wonder if any part of Brooks hoped she was still single so they could continue something off the show or if he had completely checked out.

by atem Wed Aug 07, 2013 9:13 am

Hard to know if he did or not. I don't think we will ever know.

However, we do know how close he is with Michael G and I think Michael G pretty much let us know that Brooks wasn't in love with Desiree and that Brooks was in a difficult situation.

Desiree made her decision and I don't know if it is the right one or not. I do believe that Chris S loves her.

Anyway, what I posted was that it looked like he was trying to see if she had a ring just before he sat down on AFTR, and she spent most of the time he was there looking like she was trying to hide it.

Glad you joined us here!

See my post above what I think. I think Michael G let us know.

I'll just throw my own opinions out there:

1. Desiree is in no way over Brooks. Evidence includes:

a. D hiding her ring by folding her hands (also a defensive gesture to protect her feelings)

b. looking away with a look of chagrin when Brooks says he saw how she looked at chris

c. D continuing to ask about his feelings even after her engagement

d. D snarking at Brooks saying things went really well after he left

And I think most tellingly, D touched Brooks arm twice, then touched her heart. Very obvious body language in my opinion.

2. I do agree that if these two had the opportunity to get to know each other outside of the ridiculous 10 weeks to proposal time frame, they could've gotten along famously.

3. But it wasn't just the show's format which was the problem: D's desperation to get married, literally with anyone, was far too obvious. Her first date idea (bridal salon) tipped her hand to an embarrassing degree.

Brooks might have felt cornered and trapped by D's single mindedness and over=riding ambition to get married.

great observations Kash... thanks for sharing. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
