Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 - Fan Thread - Discussion #6

[Rolly]

Brooks was always going to be Des' F1 and that only changed because Brooks left. If Brooks had stayed Des would have picked him. Des was ready to accept a proposal from Brooks even after her FD with Chris and Drew. She loved Brooks, he was the only one she could say that to, when she was on dates she wanted to be with Brooks and she wanted to give her heart to him. Brooks leaving opened the door for Chris.

I can't believe there wasn't more to Brooks' relationship with Des than being engaging, charismatic, and friendly. All you have to do is look at the HT and how he felt at the end. I think he was falling for her but not ready to get engaged. I don't think he would have gone forward with the HT if he didn't see potential. In fact she said she only wanted to meet his family if it was something he wanted and if he saw potential. He saw the HT as being very serious and a big step because he doesn't bring home a lot of women to meet his family. I think he is too nice a guy to string Des along if there wasn't potential, JMO (as always).

Relaxing, I agree with you. I miss seeing Brooks and I still like seeing Brooks and Des together. Wish I had time to watch the whole season again. I saw a developing love story that I think would have ended differently if there had been more time and not the pressure of a proposal.

Where's Rolly?  I watched some of Brooks and Des time together this weekend and cannot for the life of me understand what happened.  He has made all positive comments about him and Des and how he feels about her.  Then after home town it all went to hell in a hand basket.  Why did his sister have to tell him that it should be hard when he's not with her.  He already said on his HTD that he missed her. I am still bummed about it all.  They should be together now.

I'm with you nannymargie.  Everything she said to Brooks and his reaction to her still makes me shake my head.  His saying why did she not tell him sooner how she felt about him.  That makes me wonder if the end would have been different.  Des saying she wanted to be with Brooks on her dates rather than the other guys and she was saving her heart for him.  Brooks asked if he should stay or go.  Makes you really wonder what the heck went on with all parties involved with the show.  I have never seen anything like this one for sure.  My bigggggggggggggggggg question is how could she be engaged to someone else within a few days after all the emotions that were shown and all the words spoken?   

Maybe because he actually wasn't going to be her F1 as she was also feeling strongly towards Chris????

Brooks was always F1, She said it was over for her in her PI after Brooks left. She also cried with CH saying she wanted to go home. She is with Chris now and she may be happy but he was never her first choice.

I can agree there, relaxing! Looking forward to a completely frivolous Bachelor season where I can be calm and not give a flying fig who "wins". Juan Pablo seems like a throw away season ala Matt Grant or Lorenzo Borghese where the guy is not looking for love but popularity. I think Juan is looking toward his next reality TV show and perhaps DWTS! It will be a pleasure to just sit back and relax for his show, especially after what transpired on Des' season! We could all use the break :)

As for Brooks wondering if perhaps he was co-presenting with that guy?
Perhaps he is in some kind of a Bachelorette skit for the presentation.

I have no idea. If they were doing a skit, why not mention it?

Oh nanny! Why bother responding? Its a ridiculous notion because it was as clear as crystal.

Even CH and Des' brother said Brooks would have been F1 had he stayed. And although I usually don't like agreeing with him, RS said in his last column that he believes the same thing so there you go. Anyway, I hope some hot pics of Brooks come soon!

Hot pics? LOL! Not from that Hubspot thing we wont.

See I chalked that "emotion" up to the stage in the "journey" that she was at and being thrown a MAJOR curve ball. But on the other hand, she did say that she was feeling equally as strong for Chris.

There have been so many 'throw away' seasons for me, it's not even funny!

[MonicaJM2001]

I get tired thinking of all of the traveling Brooks has done lately lol. But his sis in law tweeted that frequent travel is the norm for him so it probably doesn't phase him as much.

[MonicaJM2001]

So is this marketing Boston thing the whole week?
