I'm here, just really tired and catching up on some other things.

Rolly, I totally get where you are coming from.

Could someone tweet to @auntielyn to know we miss her and hope she gets to post again soon?

just watched a vid from E! of des and chris in their media thread. hopefully, it was just a long day and des was tired but she looked pretty unenthused. if she's truly happy i will be happy for her but she doesn't look it there. i guess time will tell. i wish her all the best as she really is a sweet person.

I live about 20 miles north of Lehi, UT where Brooks works. I could drop by Fit Marketing sometime. But then I would feel like a stalker

You would not be a stalker that would be called a detective in this forum... giggling

.... Heck, it didn't even take much sleuthing when we kept reading that Brooks wasn't ready to get married any time soon

Des was blindsided by Brooks. I was blindsided by the spoilers no no

I agree!

Who would have gotten banned. I totally missed that.

Since we are now on the Brooks fan thread let me just say I have not recovered from the episode last Monday. I think everybody is happy or resigned to what happened and I'm still in shock and very sad. I was so confident Brooks would come back...I thought he was just feeling pressure to be at the point where he could propose and since he wasn't there he just eliminated himself. His HTD went so well and he seemed to be in love to me...as close as he had ever been to the union of marriage and not wanting for her to go. I can see how Des would be confused with the change to where he was in Antigua.

I loved Latergator's fan video--journey to love---maybe I just had this vision of the insecurities he felt being dealt with in his coming back. The comment to his sister and mom about not being sure exactly where Des was at with her relationships with Drew and Chris and maybe she had questions too. There were so many wonderful signs I thought that seemed to be love in their journey together.

What a disappointment to me Monday's episode was. I was sure Brooks would be back, the question only was what process would bring him there. As the minutes ticked away that night I felt more and more sad. I still think she settled based on how quickly she went from the heartbreak of Brooks to accepting Chris' proposal. What is so surprising is how invested I got in Des and Brooks' relationship. I always thought in the end they would be together.

I do want for everyone to be happy and move on....I guess I'm still grieving and not quite there yet.

PS And Des saying her feelings for Brooks were resolved at ATFR, I know that's where she wanted to be but I don't believe it for a second.

PSS I want a grief and loss group....

I know what you guys are going through as I went through it too. Heck, even The Middle did a great episode about how this show affects people! giggling

It was a hilarious episode.

There is really nothing we can do now. It isn't fair that we are expected to be where they are now when we just got through being where they were a few months ago. I am basically enjoying posting here for now and then in time things will be on to new things.

I think now people get why I so wanted people to not get their hopes so up for Brooks to be F1 that I got banned twice from this forum.

Talking about it a part of our 12 step program. I know it helps me and seeing pics and tweets about Brooks also helps.

Only time will tell. Desiree is up and down a lot in interviews, so it's hard for me to tell. She really has a hard time communicating herself for someone that wants to write a book.
