Wow, he must have gotten some huge waivers from the standard cast contract to be able to use images or footage from the show for any commercial purpose. Really unusual ... or violated the contract figuring who would care.

I will stand by my intuition that he and Bascom hatched this plan when he was home for his HTD and he decided to bail on the show ... perhaps not wanting to propose, not feeling it, or feeling insecure about standing compared to rivals.

It is one of the more direct (I won't say galling) but incredibly blatant attempts to advance a commercial interest on the basis of appearance on the show. Using it as a marketing case study is ballsy, I'll give him that much.

I'm dying to know if ABC knew and approved. That would be exceptional.

Also have wondered the same about the book of poems, and (sorry, lawyer, can you tell) pondered who "owned" those poems under the incredibly one-sided ABC/NZK agreements with cast.

Courageous move by Brooks. But still pales compared to the Fraud that Was People Water, the "Eco-friendly" Non-charity! Smiley

i hope brooks finds someone wonderful for him.

Wow, Des does seem a little lackluster in that interview perhaps she was just tired? She had that "just woke up" look.

The more I see them together the more its confirmed that they are perfect together...I don't know what it was about that interview but they both come off as two of the dullest people in the planet. Happy they found each other! I could definitely see them staying together forever.

I don't agree that they are dull at all, but.... I'm sure they would agree with you.... they are perfect together, happy they found each other, and yes could see them staying together forever. :gotcha

I have to agree. :hidingchair They may be very happy tog. but there's no interest to me as a fan - hard to imagine any passion between them, and Chris, likely a great guy, always seems uncomfortable to me. They both seem very low energy types. I think my impression of Des going into the show was probably way off.

When many were finding this season boring earlier on I was like "What? Des is so cute and fun with Brooks and Zak." Now I'm realizing maybe it was much more Brooks and Zak that were so fun and cool they elevated the whole situation around them to be entertaining. I never found Des as fun, lively, engaged and full of life on any other 1-1 date as she was on her first one with Brooks.

Back to current day Brooks, I love all the pics. Hope he is having fun with his notoriety at this thing.

Des was in love with Brooks the minute he stepped out of the limo. He is more her style. He just wasn't ready to commit. How can you be after 2-3 lavish dates. Brooks was the only sane person on that show. It's back to the real world now. I hope they make it. Nothing against her and Chris.

I agree with you. I don't see Des and Chris as dull. I see her as lighting up when Chris is around, saw that during the show and see it now. They are both super happy and in love.

welcome karenap.

re the bolded, brooks seems quite happy and carefree and feels he made the best decision for himself so you may well be right.
