Most live in Utah.

I think most live in Utah. But, I haven't looked it up.

Most live in Utah.

Maybe, we should get a list of them all and state who lives where to clear things up?

Here are their names:

Mark, Cheryl, Jana, Lorin, Dallas, David, Holly, Keith and Nate. That's all of them, right?

I can't find where the comment is from on WetPaint, but I saw this when trying to find out the names:

I work with his sister--he's not Mormon, and he is a genuinely great guy!

I wanted to put this here...

Think about why Brooks could be pensive. He knew even in Germany that he and Des had that strong connection. But then he sees her with James and sees how close she is to him maybe before she talks to Brooks or after. Maybe Des is sending out strong signals but how can he trust against what he saw. How do you gauge? He saw how happy she was with James. Even though he got the GD rose Des would still be going on other dates and who knows what kind of connections are being formed. The guys come home euphoric from their one on one and it's been ages for him. All the F4 had their one on ones fairly recent as compared to Brooks. That's why they call it the first date curse. So many fizzled out and ran out of steam after having the first one on one and the leads have even tried to reconnect with that person. Has there even been someone who went on the first one on one and became F1?

His insecurity has warrant in this case. Even if Des said she's running to the finish line. How much time did Brooks have to feel that same way as compared to ther others whose strategy is to just go for it. They are still high from their first date with Des. So by the second one on one, Brooks is trying to reconnect and get his feelings aligned. Being the thinker he is, he said he cannot think about running towards the finish line until Des at least meets his family. The only thing I'm happy for is that after all that's said and done, he WILL be Des' final choice so seeing Brooks go through his process will be worth it to Bres' fans.

If he's not Mormon who's Mormon. One of those guys is, and it's not Michael. Hugesmile

And Michael named the Mormon first, and he is closest to Brooks. I'd say, most likely, he's Mormon. Smiley

There were people saying he went to their singles ward a couple years ago, too, and that his fam is Mormon. He also lives in a very Mormon state. Most likely, the Mormon Michael referred to is Brooks. I think what they mean is he doesn't drink and talk like a Mormon, among other things. :Smiley:

What people? Anyway, I got the names of the siblings. It looks like Kasha may be right that most live in elsewhere than Utah.

by Guest Thu Jul 11, 2013 9:45 am

Maybe Michael's referring to himself, though. giggling

I don't want to list personal info but it appears all except one above live in Idaho, many in Nampa, Idaho.
So I guess they all had to have coordinated time off from work, school etc to get to Utah for the HTD. That must have been costly--air, hotel, etc.

Good post. It makes a lot of sense where Brooks is at. I just don't get how he can't tell how she was falling for him though.

Thanks for the info Kasha. I was just wanting to know the state they lived in, not anything more.

I was always hoping for a HTD to be in Idaho. Talk about a gorgeous state!

He even said he was reconnecting with her.

Yeah, you can't blame Brooks where he's at. It's only reasonable.

And then she slapped him up alongside the head and she's going to start demanding things. I can see that coming. I feel sorry for him, actually.
