I hope she got a gigantic bonus if that is true.

Maybe she got to let Drew go early so she could concentrate on Chris. She really would have been a mess having to deal with Drew's rejection at FRC.

I think she would have to get a whole lot more out of it than that because publicly it threw her relationship with Chris under the bus. I have a hard time believing it was fake, but if it was, she should have been paid very well.

Don't they demand the bachettes to humiliate themselves over at least one guy starting with Ali? The only one who didn't do it was the ice queen who picked a guy she didn't love at all.

Who would sign up for that? Rumors are that she only gets paid 90K. I certainly would put a much higher price tag on that break-up scene if I had to pretend Chris was not my first choice. I'm not saying it is out of the question.. I could see a bonus check for an unspoiled shocker of a season. There are a few questions with the season. It played out a little to perfectly in some ways.. which makes you wonder. But supposedly they were with Brooks' family for like 18 hours. They could record it every which way to fit their script post filming. I'm not sure how they knew when to insert Matt White though. Seems like they wanted that to be the theme song this season.

So grace, what do you think happened?

Actually i have always believed that Des was done-deal with Chris after her successful fairy tale  date on epis 5, Munich. That silly theory of mine has been thrown on general board and being laughed at big time. I was so afraid being eaten alive by all of the spoiled F1 fans at that time  , so afterward i mostly stayed in Chrisville, and doing undercover investigation with several partners in crime  . JBF, the edit guru,also shared the same believe with me after doing his own analysis (well, after i bugging him with my suspicion after reading Des`s suspicious People Blog on epis 3 ). Unfortunately he only felt comfy to share his analysis on Chrisville, since he didnt want to get too much trouble on general board as well.

No wonder, they have plenty of time to build the storyline of the fairy tale theme, Matt White`s style, and to do preps for the twist and turn in Antigua, huh?...On Epis 6 she read to and gave him her poem with a line " to one day, a rose that granted us our fate" and with the sign, to Chris, ,Des on the postcard. On epis 7 Medeira Chris`s PI mentioned that all that left is only about when do we get to start to spend our life together?. Then at FRC they both claimed "we made it!!"...:shocked!: (WTH is that??..LOL  ). so the whole BRooks saga always seems fishy to me and my silly theory. Adding to that, they never shown us Des`s gift to Chris`s family that looks like a bunch of "documents"/ smth like journal to me, as well as the kiss she gave him when seeing him coming to FRC. (we just revealed the latter in 1 intvw post-show).

Rumor has it that Ali got the "bonus" to let Chris L go at LCD at the cost of being left heartbroken by Frank at FSD. Similarly, i have predicted Des will pull a Chris L on Drew at LCD, after left by Brooks. Turned out it was proven right. So nothing new, really, with Des season, IMO. JBF said they borrowed the storyboard from Ali`s season big time, including the Brian`s saga which similar to the Justin R`s on Ali`s.

i agree with JBF when he mentioned, that there are always 2 storylines for each season. The actual one, which of course we couldnt get to see, portrayed by thousand hours of footage left on editing floor, and the on-screen one, being fed to us for us to believe.

I don't know, just acknowledging that there are some clues that things may not be exactly as they seem. The dinner part of the Munich date in particular leaves me wondering. If it was fake with Brooks, why take it so far? Also, Ali has admitted that she was in love with Frank post show, so that part was not fake on her season. There was a lot of speculation that Arie never delivered his journal to NC, but that seems to have been true as well. But, I don't put anything past TPTB, so I am certainly open minded about this whole theory. Also, she bounced back very quickly on the boat with Chris for his LCD.

*chuckle chuckle*

Maybe to bamboozle Nate, who thinks his sister is overly eager to marry the first guy she meets. He was fine with Chris, but she had to promise "taking it day by day" with him. Note that they even dressed her and Brooks as bride and groom, had her chirp about it feeling like they are on their honeymoon and had them talk heartbreak and "it means I am not meant to be with that person" under the Hollywood sign. Like the Ali/Frank situation, any date involving the Hollywood sign is a Hollywood production of sorts.

Hey! JP "broke the entertainment center" on his first solo date right after Bentley left... and he and Ashley created their own "entertainment". She, in turn, had to milk the Bentley story all the way to the bank. Bet HE was paid well, just so she could plant the flag of Mt. Olympus on Jordan Paul.

I still can't stop laughing over the bold parts here:

http://hollywoodite.com/desiree-hartsock-and-fiance-chris-siegfried-discuss-their-controversial-relationship?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Hollywoodite+%28Hollywoodite%29

Hartsock has a message for all the naysayers out there, “I absolutely did not settle. Brook’s leaving gave me the opportunity to love Chris more. All I can say is it’s real and it’s going to last.” Siegfried understands that she had strong feelings for Forester but he never had any doubts that she would be unfaithful. “I was just excited [to propose]. It felt right, like it was supposed to happen, Des is The One” he said.

While I am mighty suspicious about what all the "I am not that type of girl" (as she told Jonathan on night #1) was up to in Munich and the fantasy date with the hot-tub… not Madeira or McMinnville since those were both daytime… I did a quick run down of the Last Chance Dates and the way they were edited. Not that we can make assumptions here, but sometimes the lead is shown leaving at the end of it... and sometimes not.

Deanna: Can’t find hers online. Maybe Graham made a secret visit when the cameras weren’t rolling? Jeremy did the not-so-secret return. My mind is blank as to what happened with Jesse and Jason on their LCDs.

Jason/Melissa: They each say “to be continued” as he leaves. Nothing happened, so why did he choose her? Don’t answer all at once.

Jason/Molly: She wants to give him “one hundred and ten percent of myself” and they have an almost buck naked massage. Ends with them, clothes back on, kissing and the Fairytale Love Story book on the table. They sure were messing with our heads THAT season. Final shot of their resort has a clear moon emerging from the clouds in full, very bright luminance. In an interview, Mike Fleiss was quite confident they did The Deed. No telling how HE would know without installing secret cameras to be sure.

Jillian: Sauerkraut toppings Ed’s last chance date ended with a volcano. Ketchup toppings Kiptyn’s ended with slow Pacific waters on the beach. Um… no comment there. Oh that Silly Jillie and her hotdog toppings.

Jake: He leaves Vienna alone sobbing a bit. His date with Tenley could be questioned though. She was confident that she will show him “the chemistry” they have.

Ali: Ends with Ali and Roberto making out on the bed (“I don’t want to say goodbye to Roberto”), quick shot of the resort at night with no sky visible, followed by commercials and then her arrival, head down and looking guilty, at Chris Lambton’s cabin... ready to dump him.

Brad: Scene ends with Emily hugging Brad and his leaving completely defeated (“I was shot out of the water”), walking alone down the hotel corridor. No nookie that time. None with Chantal either, but he is just sad leaving the hotel corridor as she chirps happy.

Ashley: Oh come now. Didn’t Ashley and JP get enough on their previous dates? In any case, she leaves commenting that she will soon break “his” heart. Not JP’s of course as the editors were hinting. Now Ben did get a clouded up moon at the end of his LCD, as if to suggest something was “cloudy” here. Kinda doubt anything happened… but production was still clueless.

Ben: Despite what may have been hinted on Ashley’s season, Ben leaves Courtney crying on the couch with a half empty wine glass. Well… she wanted to “win” him, didn’t she? She got The Storm Horse in all of his satisfy-every-woman’s-fantasy glory. Can’t remember what happened with Lindzi, but do we even care anymore?

Emily: She kisses Jef good bye and he watches her go. No competition with Arie that season since he was dumped early on his date. Unless something-something happened earlier we don't know about... and Arie fans were certainly banking on it all season.

Sean: Catherine says “I want him to reciprocate his feelings for me”. Sean leaves. She’s lying on the bed with head in pillows. At least they were happy at FRC. Maybe her letter was written that night. Lindsay was dressed like Little Red Riding Hood on hers. As they walk out together, we get a bizarre solo candle shot. I guess there was some Freudian symbolism there, but it was too vague for me to analyze.

Des: In bed together, but clothed, and having a “friends don’t kiss” moment as she fiddles Chris' top button. Cut to full moon high in the sky with clouds out of its way. NOW... THAT reminds me of Jason/Molly. Hey... with Drew and Brooks now history, she had nobody to answer to. I still chuckle over how Daddy insists that Chris take care of her and he responds with two "100 percents".

Thank you so much, JBF!!.. i was laughing so hard and nodding my head many times at your amusing yet precious post!!...  

JBF, HILARIOUS!! Love your post. Just wanted to remind you that Deanna did not have a LC date with Graham. (I think this is what you were referring to?) He left before the fantasy dates, just like Brooks.

I agree with your earlier post too that the audience was being fed the "Brooks story line," and everyone, or most, bought it. Des and Ali's story line were exactly the same. The only difference is Frank left to go back to an old girlfriend. Ali did what Des did and moved on rather quickly. Ali was with Roberto in the real world for 18 months but were NOT a good match. Chris and Des seem to be very compatible. Time will tell. ;)

So Mura, JBF, SM.. you all think the Brooks break-up was fake? Do you believe only Des knew that and not Brooks?
