It could be a reference to a disagreement with his mom about something -- like what she wants in a future daughter-in-law vs. what Brooks wants in a wife.

Or maybe he's talking about his last serious relationship, when things ended they weren't on the same page. Producers ask questions about life experiences in ITM interviews and then use those answers out of context to help tell a story, by making it seem the person is talking about the lead or a contestant. For example, they will pester a person with questions about an ex in the limo after they've been rejected and make the audience think she or he is crying and talking about being heartbroken over the lead. "I thought she was The One..." etc. We hear SHE and assume he's talking about the Bachelorette. That isn't always the case.

Just remember we don't hear the questions, just the answers, and the answers could be edited and sliced to change the meaning as well. "I'm not falling in love" changes to "I'm falling in love" with one simple edit.

I think I'll go watch them kiss on the couch now. That's a little happier.

The reason why I thought of it, is due to the metaphor game they play.

I will be disappointed if its not brooks. I mean it just seems like the obvious choice. I think they are perfect together .

I think these scenes are to hook us in. Obviously it's working. The reality could be as simple as what Terabithia stated. Problem with last girlfriend? Not on the same page. If there's anything Des and Brooks have shown IS that they are on the same page. He chronicles his feelings for Des to Des. Talks about emotional process and that he's getting more invested. How could one dinner in Portugal change that much less future dates. Could his mother put things in his mind? Sure but it won't be about how he and Des get along and are being sincere.

That's why I said you're a smart girl. Could very well be the reason for that comment not referring to each other.

I do that too. From their first date, the return from the ER, the igloo and now Mexico. Love it!

Heck if I know . Maybe it is at F2 Chris/Brooks and maybe something happens btw Nate/Brooks or someone in HER family and Brooks feels like he screwed up and doesn't know how to fix it and afraid it will cost him Des. I am not convinced he doesn't have FD and LCD with Des they just don't want to show anything towards it because they want to promote the "uh oh Bres is in trouble" angle instead which FD/LCD would basically give away that all is well. When the Brooks thing happens, maybe Des knows her final decision and since it is not going great at THAT moment with her decided F1 she breaks down and says screw it all.

Everyone's ideas are good. I give up.

It'll just be hard to see Brooks :Frown: :Frown: :Frown:

yeah I am gonna hate seeing Bres go through whatever it is they are going to go through but then again, it seems they came out stronger from it.

Me too Monica. No ifs ands or buts. Brooks being F1 is a truth not a pipe dream! :yes:

When you see them in the screencaps you sure do think so. Hugesmile

I don't see how anyone can steal that thunder. Especially people whom they've hardly shown their relationship.

So will I. And though I like to stand on top of mountains, like Des and Brooks, I don't like to be on the ledge when it comes to what I put my heart into. I'll be a little bit devastated if he's not F1. I won't cry, but I'll be let down.
