Zack K is a not a bad choice. I was thinking Brooks. He is well travelled and adventurous and I think he is a fun, thoughtful, introspective type that she might go for...and their kids would be gorgeous!

Sorry, but that's one that I just do not like.  EWWWW!!

I hope that you were speaking of Brooks here and if you are ITA!!!   

Absolutely!!  Brooks just doesn't match up to many good ones of the past by a long shot!!

IT disagree, I thinks Brooks would be great on this show or a match for Sharleen. Honestly, I don't know where all the animosity for Brooks comes from.   The guy must have something going for him in that he was in the final three for Des. He is smart, sensitive and has a great sense of humor and continues to have a big following. Do people dislike him because they were fans of Chris? Let's not forget Chris likes him too and they continue to be friends. I think TPTB would be crazy not to consider Brooks....JMO. I don't know though if he would be interested but he might.  :Clap: 

Maybe I can clarify---especially since this is not a fan thread. It has nothing to do with being a Chris fan for most of "us" who do not care for Brooks. Let's suffice it to say without making this a major food fight, he comes off as shiftless and not very mature. He does not come off as hardworking or industrious, but flighty. He still has a lot of growing up to do and finding himself before he can begin to commit to another or having a family.
And being in the final 3 for this show has so many manipulations going for it, besides chemistry between the couple, that IMHOAA, says nothing about the true merit of a person.
I think Brooks would be very interested in doing this show or any other as it does not seem like he has a stable, consistent form of income at this time.

    Thank you, I think you covered it very well.

Thanks Kasha, very well said. For me, it has nothing to do with being a fan or not, I just don't like the guy. He came off as being shifty as Kasha said, and just his aura doesn't impress me, but that's my thoughts on it.

Different strokes for different folks. I wasn't a big fan of any of the guys on Des' season...Zak was the most interesting to me...but I don't see Brooks as being immature. I thought that he was one of the most honest people ever on this show. Is he ready to commit and have a family? I don't know, but, I do know that he wasn't ready with Des and he acknowledged that. Many guys...and women for that matter...don't look ready until they meet the one. Just because he isn't ready for marriage does not make him immature. I'd prefer that more people recognized that before leaping into marriage...maybe the divorce rate would be lower. As for flighty...I think of him as more of a seeker. He likes to experience things. Travel is a part of this. Is he still searching for himself? Probably, but there is nothing wrong with that and doesn't make him less mature than someone who knows exactly who they are. To me, it just makes him interesting. JMO

Kasha, thanks for your response. Needless to say we clearly see Brooks differently....having differences of opinions is what makes the thread discussions interesting (usually  :giggle: ). I saw Des as a pretty good judge of character and I don't think she would keep someone flighty, immature, and shiftless for HT's if she didn't see potential with them as a partner. I guess we just have to agree to disagree. I'm certainly not interested in a food   fight with anyone. I don't feel a need to respond to every opinion I disagree with but today the comments just hit me the wrong way. Put me down as a yes vote for Brooks on BP, I think it would be great to see him again every week....IMHO.

By the way, what does IMHOAA stand for????   

I guess you misunderstood me, so I will clarify--my opinion of him has less to do with his readiness to be in a committed relationship and start a family and more with his readiness to find a committed, ongoing way to earn a living!!  MHOAA has nothing to do with his involvement in a relationship and everything to do with being a "grownup".  My opinion, this is great(endless travel and adventure and going from job to job) at age 23--and Peter Pan--ish going on age 30..

I got what you were saying Kasha. I just don't care for the guy. Something about him just doesn't sit well with me.

I'd just rather he and Ed not cross my screen again is all. There are others in the franchise that are irritating, those two go far beyond that for me.

In Jillian's words

"That was hard for me because I think that happened with Ed. Ed was the first person that I thought, 'oh my god, I could see myself marrying this person,' even though he was so wrong for me. Ed wasn't honest, he wasn't close with his family, he wasn't close with my family or my friends. He didn't have the same values as I did, he wasn't patient, he wasn't sweet, there was nothing about him that was great for me, but because everyone was rooting for him and I was in love with him at the time I tried to force that to make that work."


I could see some of that during her season as he seemed more into the party of it all than just the process, then all the stuff came out during filming and afterwards which just cinched it for me if I had any doubts about him.

I am not saying that Brooks is like that, but there is something about him being the party-goer, in it for fame, that seems to go along with what Ed and others have done. Like I said, it comes down to how irritating the two of them are as they act in front of the camera that I just go EEEK over and not want t watch.

IMHOAA= in my humble opinion as always.
I like to preface many of my posts with this as it is simply my own opinion and not to make it sound as if I speak for any one else.

and IMHOAA--it is always great to have a variety of opinions and ideas shared! Believe it or not, keeping an open mind and be willing has changed my own mind many times in life. It's great!

Well, I will take Brooks over Jef for this show. Brooks seemed more authentic as a person, and not a total fake.

If I have to hear Jef talk about being a hopeless romantic just looking for a love that makes the ocean jealous (was that the line?), I may just  :puke:
