Re: Brooks Forester - Bachelorette 9 Contestant - Spoilers - Thread #11

This is what RS says in response to a suggestion that Brooks leaves.

Comment: Leave? Where would he go? You think he actually leaves the island of Antigua, gets on a plane flown back to Utah, then within days gets back on another plane to fly back to Antigua to propose? I highly doubt that happened. Makes zero sense for Brooks to leave the island. Maybe he struggles with his feelings, maybe he doesn’t accept the overnight date card, maybe Des is upset at him because he can’t tell her he loves her, etc. Those seem like viable options as to what happens. But him leaving the island, only to fly back within days to propose? No. Don’t see it.

Also, for how close he feels to Des and how close she seems to him, he cannot wrap his mind around the overnight dates she had with others. In RL that's cheating and in this show its ok. Could be hard to fathom when you're trying to keep your head screwed on straight.

I'm not 100%, but I think the guys are separated from either HTD or FD and on. They only see each other at RC from this point on so no mingling.

Well, something happens!

Barb - I wonder if his handler spooked him etc. during downtime in Antigua, repeatedly reminding him a proposal was necessary at the end..

Handlers have so much mind control anything is possible. The handlers can communicate amongst themselves about their guy. Would it surprise me that they messed with each guy ? Nope.

Ok if that is so about nom-verbal communication . Zak returns and can't hide his exuberance over the fact Des accepted his ring. Brooks comes back from HTD deeply happy but that feeling is multiplied by 3others. He's observant and a thinker. Data overload and can't compute aka wrap his mind around things makes his cautiousness and their walls go up again. Like I said like catch and release. He's not wanting to blindly walk into heartbreak. The other guys are just confident they're F1. Two different mind sets.

This is correct. :yes:

I think that L & S mag got something wrong. There's no way there would be a LCD 'walking' the Devil's Bridge. You couldn't pay to me walk that thing, that's how dangerous it is. That's where Chris S and Desiree meet for the start of the FD. That's not the other guy's LCD.

That thing about the Dover place being the FRC makes no sense too. That's where Desiree is in the cap with Drew having a picnic.

Again, I agree with RS for the second time in one week. New record.

Actually Devil's Bridge looks awesome and for adventurous people like Des & Brooks would be a great date... but not saying he gets a LCD at all, but it is possible.

Devil's Bridge, sounds like where some of us are at right now. :pullouthair:

by atem Thu Jul 18, 2013 2:52 pm

I thought they said not to walk on the Devil's Bridge, because it's so slippery.

Yup, I remember reading that and here is proof:

Visitors to Devil’s Bridge do so at their own risk. The limestone formation is often slippery because of the waves and it is advised people do not walk across the bridge. Swimming at Devil’s Bridge is not allowed.

The way the person wrote it was all off. She should have mentioned that it looks like Drew gets horseback riding as a date, etc. Why is she apologizing when she's at the F3 Rose Ceremony? Why is Chris Harrison asking what she wants to do next?
