I really liked Gia but she always seemed emotionally fragile. She had so much going for her. Really sad news.

Brooks is in Nashville?

Jordan Williams @joleslee
Just gave the @brooksforester haircut & I know it won't be my last. #BachelorNation

It sounds like he gave someone a haircut like Brooks.  Am I reading that wrong?

No, you are reading it right. I read it wrong. What is a Brooks hair cut though?

[sfrank]

Wow! She tried to hang herself?! Crazy.  She looked happy in all if her recent pictures. Ali said she was in good spirits on last week. I wondered what happened!

I think it's long in the front, short in the back....they mentioned how cool it was on the ESPN Grantland Pop Culture podcast. Commentator, David Jacoby, said Brooks' haircut "blew his mind" and wondered if he had a stylist. LOL.

Here was Brooks tweet response...

@brooksforester: @Jacoby_ Im glad my hair blew your mind - BOOM #LongInFront #ShorterInBack @julietlitman - #NoStylist

Wow. I don't know how legit Life & Style is, but Nate Hartsock supposedly thinks Des settled.

And if it's true that she would've settled for whoever asked her to marry them, I'm even more happy that Brooks walked away. He deserves better.

I don't think of them as 'legit' or 'not legit'.  They are there to sell magazines, period.  Nate knows how Desiree felt about Brooks, because she told him, but the show cut it out.  

I agree that L&S is not exactly my "go-to" source but they are directly quoting Nate and not some "source" or "insider" on the settling stuff...

I've said all along that Nate was not bright but why would you say that to media even if its true?!

SMH.

i'm glad nate is speaking out. des needs him to knock some sense into her so she doesn't make a decision that she regrets years down the line. it's weird because i never got the impression des was desperate to get married. shoot, she moved to santa monica where there are a ton of great-looking single people. it's pretty hard not to meet people there. i'm sure she'd have no trouble meeting great guys if she'd stayed there. at my old church there people would ask if we had a singles group and i would just them we don't need one as most of the church was young and single and everyone just hung out together. lots of marriages came out of there.

Brooks tweet on Gia...

@brooksforester: @GiaAllemand My family & I join in an express our deepest sympathies & may our prayers & expression of love help carry you during this time.

That's the nature of the show...go back and watch Ben and Ashley during their LCD and tell me if you could believe watching those scenes she was madly in love with JP.

As for the Chris stuff, I think she wrote the poem out of appreciation for the two Chris had already written to her. The 1on1 time during dodgeball was orchestrated by Chris and TPTB not Des, the sketches I will give you (albeit the same thing Zak did for her). I think she definitely had feelings for Chris - in fact i believe that she was falling for him. But she was already in love with Brooks. However, now yes she seems to be love with Chris. Its easy to fall in love especially when its a great guy like Chris and he loves that much! Time will tell if they will be a successful couple but they seem to have a good shot!

I just thought that it was extremely telling that Des gave Chris the Dodge Ball group date rose instead of Brooks since he was the one that got injured for his efforts.

i just love that look on guys. so attractive. if brooks had some buzz cut i probably wouldn't even think he looked that great. it's all about the hair for some of us. okay, maybe not all...

I don't mind Nate's honesty, either. He's only speaking what lot of people have thought. He doesn't seem to be able to contain himself when he sees something that bugs him. My own hub just said he doesn't think Chris and Des will last after I told him that that is so not a girl thing to do, to be "Oh, I want you and to only be with you, waaah!" one day and then turn around five days (or even two weeks) later and say, "Yeah, I'll marry you," to someone else.

Even if someone made the excuse that it was total infatuation for Brooks, infatuation takes a while to wear off, too.

I don't think it was telling at all. Des already admitted with every date she went on she WISHED it was with Brooks and we also know she fell for Brooks early. He was on meds and didn't have a chance to shower. I think it was good thing he didn't get that group date. Appropriate actually considering the circumstance.

Not to me...Brooks just had a 1on1. How could she give it him after he had missed half the date and Chris taken her to the roof? That would have been too telling and I doubt she would have been allowed to. I believe even Ali said she would not have been allowed to give it to Brooks. What was telling is that even after her special time with Chris, Des told Brooks she missed him and was disappointed because she was looking forward to spending time with him. She even commented that she was thinking about Brooks while with the other men.
