If they're as beautiful as Brooks, please, more from Utah. They won't be, though. He can't be beat, IMO.

ITA! If I was 10 years younger and single, I'd be on the first plane to Utah myself!

Very true Mustang! I even added into that anti-Utah convo about why no mention about Scottsdale reps on this show. The slant was strictly against Utah.

Kind of makes you wish he wasn't so slow in being born, doesn't it? I bet you some of his siblings are our age. Couldn't they have switched?

I wouldn't mind this show ending already.

Yes, Arizona (Drew, Arie, Courtney) and Texas (too many to mention), if I recall.

Yeah, well look at this way - had it ended before this season, we probably never would have known the hotness that is Brooks plus cutie Zach K, Drew etc. Anyway, I am glad Juan Pau is the next bachelor because that means I don't have to or want to watch!

Ditto. I might take a break with Juan Pau.

Yeah, had Brooks been the bachelor, it definitely would have been a different story. I am glad he is not doing the show. Although, I do miss seeing him on tv, which is why I have been rewatching the season, especially the Brooks parts..

Well, we got to know them so now it can end.

How crazy people are acting about Juanpa already is annoying.

Go watch that as well. By Barcelona, Chris intensity is rising, and Brooks is fading (his feelings, not hers). Who wouldn't be "over it" sitting around talking incessantly about that snippet of conversation Drew and Kasey over-heard in the van or whatever. I saw Brooks starting to "lose it" -- also, look at how she handled the James thing. Talk about wishy washy. I'm not criticizing either of them -- it's just one of the "downs" I think Brooks experienced in the long long drought between the Hollywood sign date and CLoud 9 in Madeira. Each of these shows represents about a week of his life
1. Hollywood sign (feels great)
2. Nothing much
3. Dodgeball (broken finger, Chris gets the group date rose -- look at his face then)
4. Munich (Chris/Bryden show -- watches her make out with James)
5. Barcelona -- soccer date, not much time with her 1:1, but tons of gross drama and back and fro about James
6. Madeira -- trying to regain lost ground, decides to use family visit as a test (the "struggle" is apparent in almost every screen shot if you look)
7. HTD - freely confesses by the duck pond that he is up and down, and loses "it" when they are apart. Des warmly embraced and received by family. But hard questions that hang in the air.
[some internal processing / discussions off camera / decides to get out before the pressure of proposing becomes unbearable]

That's Brooks' journey. I think he showed a lot of character and self-awareness. And, as an aside, he would never trash Chris or Des, his friends, the way some do for sport.

People always want to say the producers and editors lie. And they do in the smaller settings -- to participants playing the "game" of the show, etc., but most of the time the Mega Story Arc for each character tracks their actual emotional journey. That's what the production assistants are madly logging all day long (who said what on camera, on date, in a group, ITM), and then the story folks make it into an entertainment for us to watch.
The show's own producers and spokesperson trash people for sport. Brooks' process was an interesting story, but we as viewers really didn't get to see it. Plus, Desiree and Chris H made Brooks out to be the one that didn't communicate when it was Desiree herself that didn't. She was the one to want to make out and not talk. He's always been a nice guy to me and I never got the trashing he got here just because he's from Utah. The show should let the guys tell their side of the story, but they wait until it's too late and there's a reason why they don't. I do believe the show planted false stories to re-inforce the 'Brooks comes back' storyline, because they thought it would bring in the ratings. I'm glad it didn't pan out that way and got less viewers than last year's season.
I sincerely hope this is not what you really believe. I can not recall any poster trashing anyone because of the state anyone comes from--or country for that matter.
I think you are right Kasha. I don't remember a time where a contestant on this show gets trashed on a board(namely here) because of the state he/she lives in.
I can remember a recent post where people were saying no more Utah contestants after Bentley, Michelle Money, 1F and Brooks. There may have been others, but I don't recall exactly.

Okay, I thought they were talking more about the personalities than where a person came from. For some reason, those people seem to have a lot of a personality in common.

Sorry, I don't agree with that.
