The Butler “Faith” Trailer As you can see the big names don’t stop at Whitaker and Winfrey. The duo is joined by the likes of Robin Williams, James Marsden, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard , Vanessa Redgrave, and the list just goes on and on. Will all the star power and hype translate to a successful film? We’ll have to wait to find out this weekend when The Butler opens in wide release.
The Bachelorette stars Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried have been (publicly) engaged all of a week, and fans still aren’t totally sold on them as a couple. They’re certainly both doing their best to change that. Reports that they were moving in together immediately after the finale were true. They made sure everyone knew about the big move on social media! The future Mrs. Siegfried is now a Seattle resident. She wrote, along with pics of a going-away party: “On the road again! 😉 @ChrisRSiegfried #newchapter #roadtrips #mylove #goodbyeCali #helloSeattle.” “Always hard to say goodbye… but hello to my new chapter with @chrisrsiegfried.” Upon arriving, Desiree Hartsock shared, “Home. Sweet. Home. #Seattle.” It’s not out of the realm of possibility that ABC is pushing the frequent Instagram and Twitter use to keep viewers engaged and convince us they’re in love. Or maybe they just are that much in love and have to share every detail. Even it’s all genuine, some see it as an attempt to prove that he’s no “rebound” or “second choice,” and that there’s nothing about the show that’s fake.

Only time will tell, of course, if the “honeymoon” phase wears off, or whether they can adapt to major life changes after such an unusual, whirlwind courtship.

Brooks Forester says he’s beyond happy for Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried’s engagement, but does not regret flaking out on The Bachelorette when he did. Though some fans were hoping – and The Bachelorette spoilers predicted – Brooks would return in the finale and beg for a second chance, he did not. Brooks, who is single, has no regrets about that, either. “I know I made the right decision,” Forester says. “That was about being honest with Des and myself and that conversation, as difficult as it was and as bad as it hurt. I just don’t know how I can regret being honest.” “I look back and say that was the right decision.” “I never had a moment where I felt like I should go back and hash things out. Were there things I missed about [Des] and was I sad to see our relationship come to a close? Yes.” Brooks Forester adds, “Des deserves to be in love with someone that is equally in love with her. If she was at that point, great, I needed to get there and I just wasn’t.” As for the man who was, Chris Siegfried? The Bachelorette Finale Recap – Desiree Hartsock Engaged “I am excited for them and I wish them the best. As I said last night, it was apparent that Des had those feelings for Chris and I know Chris has those feelings for her.” “I love Chris. I think he is a genuine person and a great guy. Des got what she deserves and I couldn’t be happier for them,” says her one-time top pick. Brooks admits it was hard being portrayed as the “frontrunner” on the reality show, let alone being called as the winner in Bachelorette spoilers columns for months. “The last two months have been difficult,” he says, looking back. “Everyone assumed we were together. I am glad that it is over.” Did Desiree make the right choice? Yes! Chris totally loves her and she loves him! No. Brooks was the one that got away. View Poll » Will Desiree and Chris last? Yes!

If you followed Kurt Warner’s story at all, you know it was only a matter of time before Mr. “Supermarket to Super Bowl” would be the subject of a feel-good biopic. Well it appears as if that time is now as it has just been announced that 20th Century Fox is taking on the rags to riches tale. Based on his autobiography titled, All Things Possible: My Story of Faith, Football and the Miracle Season, the biopic will undoubtedly focus on Warner’s incredible journey. The then-unknown quarterback went from stocking grocery store shelves to leading the Rams to a thrilling victory over the Tennessee Titans in 1999. Of course, being a Rams fan and seeing Brenda Warner on the sidelines a lot during those years, I’m a little bit ashamed to admit that my first thought at casting for her would be Kate Gosselin . Throw tomatoes at me if you must, but I think we can all agree, it’s the hair. No word yet on when we can expect this tear jerker to arrive in theaters.
While careful not to reveal The Bachelorette spoilers concerning next Monday’s finale, Desiree Hartsock is speaking out about last night’s events. In a shocking twist, Brooks Forester vaguely, awkwardly dumped her in an epic breakup that resulted in endless tears and consumed an hour of TV. Desiree Hartsock, Brooks Forester Breakup (The Bachelorette) Truly, it is the most surprising ending to The Bachelorette we’ve seen, just as the producers promised. Heading into next week, so many questions linger. Is Brooks gone for good? Is Des done for good after this rejection? What about Chris and Drew? Do either stand a chance? And how will they fill two hours? We’ll find out in Monday’s conclusion of this two-part finale. For now, let’s hear what Hartsock had to say about last night : “Antigua was the perfect destination to continue my relationships with the three remaining guys … Each one has such incredible qualities but Brooks stood out.” “My relationship with Brooks was always secure and confident when we were together, but I never knew what was going through his mind when we were apart.” “That should have been a red flag, but sometimes love is blind.” “I never wanted to believe that maybe this experience was more than just hard for Brooks, and that he potentially wasn’t on the same page as me.” “He led me to believe that he was on board and wanted this to work out. I had such strong feelings that I couldn’t imagine not reaching the full potential of a proposal.” “I was surprised watching and seeing the conversations Brooks had with his mother and sister and with Chris Harrison, expressing his doubts and feelings.” “He never expressed those concerns with me until it was too late. I was completely blindsided and heartbroken by his exit.” “When he first greeted me on that beach, I knew that something was wrong and I was shocked to learn exactly how he felt.” “I am relieved now that he was honest about his feelings and that he was brave enough to address them before taking the relationship further.” “I wish Brooks could have felt more comfortable coming to me sooner but it was better that it happened in Antigua and not down the road.” “My dates with Chris and Drew were so wonderful, but Brooks’ departure really threw me for a loop. I seriously considered going home and calling it all quits.” “In a breakup, emotions are high and it takes self-reflection to gain clarity and peace.” “I was heartbroken by Brooks leaving and uncertain of what the future held. But I had two incredible men still there who did love me and I wanted to see this through.” “Could get past this heartbreak to love either one of them as much as they both deserved? And would we ever get the opportunity to explore that?” “I promised myself from the beginning that I was here for love and not just to go through the motions. I had to remind myself that if I wasn’t feeling enough for the guys, I wouldn’t stay.” So, there you go. That brings you up to speed … and yet it doesn’t. Whether she’s single or engaged or somewhere in between, Des is playing it close to the vest as buzz surrounding The Bachelorette finale builds. We would expect nothing else, so all we can do is direct you to our Bachelorette spoilers rundown (first sentence of this article) and ask again: How do you think The Bachelorette finale will play out? Brooks returns and gets engaged to Des! Chris gets the final rose! Drew gets the final rose! Desiree is crushed and goes home single! View Poll »
Tonight’s the night! Errr, sort of. Tonight is part one of the “shocking” conclusion to Desiree Hartsock ‘s quest for love as The Bachelorette . Previews have shown all three remaining men, and Des herself, in tears and The Bachelorette spoilers promise a shocking ending! Just which of these eligible bachelors will Desiree choose? Let’s narrow them down now in our THG +/- recap! Des said “fairy tale.” Minus 4. Recap of the entire season after we just recapped the entire season last week during the Men Tell All episode. Minus 10. More of Chris’ awful poetry. Minus 2. More of Drew who, let’s be clear, doesn’t exactly scream straight male in this “for all the right reasons.” Minus 5. And then there’s Brooks. Desiree’s feelings for him are “set apart” from her feelings for the other guys. Everything about this opening says that she chooses him. Everything. Except the fact that he’s apparently unsure of the fact that he’s expected to propose to her at the end of this. So that’s not good. (Or it’s smart and very good because it means he’s serious? Who knows.) They’re in Antigua for the overnight dates and Drew’s date is first. Drew really feels like if they were married and going on vacation, they’d definitely be doing things like going to Antigua and hanging with the locals. And doing the limbo. (But not, perhaps, the horizontal mambo?) They head down a trail for a picnic overlooking the water and talk about his family and hometown date. Bringing her home to meet his family and his sister was one of the happiest day of his life. Drew calls Desiree his “soul mate” and hopes tonight will be the night he can tell her. The show cuts to commercial with the two of them kissing. When it returns, they’re still kissing. Plus 12. Because of the rain, she takes him to the fantasy suite and then gives him an invitation to the fantasy suite. An invitation which he accepts. Plus 4. Drew tells her he’s ready to propose to her that night. Then he tells the camera crew it’s time to leave. It strikes me just how awkward it is that she can invite all of the men to the fantasy suite on consecutive nights. Isn’t that a deal breaker for any of them? So, so awkward. But hey, what happens in the fantasy suite, right? Brooks needs to go home to visit his family before he can go on an overnight with Desiree. He’s not to the point yet where he can tell Desiree he loves her because he doesn’t know if he loves her. He’s uncomfortable with the idea of proposing to her at the end of this and can’t answer the question “do you love Desiree” without feeling like he’s saying something wrong. His sister says if he’s at this point and he can’t say it, he knows the answer he’s looking for. He gets quiet. Brooks has a tough week ahead of him. Chris, however, is ready to go on his date with Desiree. He’s “truly, madly, deeply” in love with her. Plus 5 . They take a helicopter ride to see the island and he says he has no doubt that they’re sharing the same feelings of love together. He’s so…syrupy sweet. Nice make out session in the waves in their swim suits which is something that just doesn’t happen because SAND IN THE BATHING SUIT. Minus 13. It doesn’t rain out their dinner, so they get to eat and have a conversation about the future. Which Desiree awkwardly brings up. He’s found a job he really likes in Seattle. And he’d like to raise a family in Seattle. But he doesn’t know if Desiree wants to be in Seattle. She’s willing to make the sacrifice for the person she loves and would definitely be down with moving to Seattle. Plus 8. They talk about making eye contact over dinner and she gives him the fantasy suite invitation. He thinks the suite is a great opportunity to spend more time with her and…watch the stars. Is that what the kids are calling it these days? He wrote her another poem. This one tells her that he’s ready to spend his life with her forever and ever. As long as they can watch the stars. Minus 7 Gratuitous shot of Desiree in a bikini getting dressed. Minus 25. Finally, Brooks has made it to Antigua for his date with Desiree. Her feelings for him are deeper than her feelings for the other guys and she’s not just falling in love with him. She’s in love. Before their date, Brooks sits down with Chris Harrison. Brooks’ head tells him he’s in love with her, but his heart doesn’t. He doesn’t want to jump into this because it’s a big deal. Chris asks “are you not sure, or are you telling me I’m not in love with this girl” and Brooks goes “hmm. I don’t know.” Brooks has thought about everything and he doesn’t think he’s going to feel it if he doesn’t feel it yet. Desiree isn’t the love of his life. But he has this crazy love for her. But she’s not the one. He’s ready to commit, but not to Des. Chris tells him to man up. If he’s going to break Desiree’s heart it’s better that he does it sooner rather than later. After all, she’ll have to pick her second choice dude to fill Brooks’ shoes. It’s time for him to go and meet Desiree and he’s got to stop off and cry under a tree first. Desiree thinks today is going to be stress free, no worries. Ehhhh…. He’s crying as he walks up and asks her to go have a talk with him. He loves that they had such an amazing first date. And that she’s a much better person than he is. And she can see the writing on the wall that this is a break-up and not a profession of love. He really wants to be madly in love with her, but…she starts to cry and he begs her not to cry. WHY DO MEN DO THAT? Minus 100. She can’t even look at him and she asks the question “why now?” He tells her he didn’t know. He thought more time would make it happen. Through tears, she says “I love you.” And he wants to know why she didn’t say it earlier. She says she did with their silly running, skipping, jumping analogy, but apparently he failed that part of school. She’s never felt completely loved by anyone in her life. He tries to soothe her broken heart with “I do care about you.” He doesn’t think doing anything differently would have changed things and keeps talking. She tells him to just stop talking because it’s just breaking her heart more to rehash it all. Minus 35. In his one-on-one, he says he didn’t want to leave her and he didn’t expect to feel that. He didn’t expect to want to stay with her. After continuing to say how sorry he is, he asks if they can just walk for a little bit. She says she wanted him to meet her family and he asks her what she’s going to do now. He doesn’t know where she was with the other guys. Best exchange of the night: Brooks: I’m sorry. I’ll shut up. I’m not helping. Desiree: No. Not at all. Whatever mascara Desiree’s wearing? It really lives up to its waterproof claims. Brooks stops to cry by some more trees while Desiree’s salty tears find new homes in the ocean. Brooks misses all of the moments he and Desiree shared already. He was banking on the fact that she was more in love with one of the other guys and his breaking her heart wouldn’t be quite so devastating. He was wrong. EPISODE TOTAL: -172 SEASON TOTAL: +238
The web has been abuzz with The Bachelorette spoilers this month, as fans Desiree Hartsock prepares for what could be a rocky lead-up to the finale. While in the past, The Bachelor or The Bachelorette spoilers have centered around which suitor the star would pick, this year looks a bit different. Heading into the August 5 season-ender, most of the uncertainty surrounding Desiree Hartsock relates to whether she ends up engaged or heartbroken . Brooks Forester has been the favorite all season long, both among those offering spoilers and on screen. Des has even admitted she’s in love. So what’s the big twist keeping this from being a foregone conclusion? Even the producers themselves are weighing in on the unusual nature of this particular “journey” for love, and hinting that it may not end smoothly. Misleading teases that don’t come to fruition or are underwhelming in the end are standard for this show, but you don’t often hear ones like this: “All I can say is that you will be shocked by how this ends.” Straight from show-runner Mike Fleiss himself, to EW . Yes, we realize that every single week promises THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY EVER, so you can take that with a boulder of salt. That said, the shot-caller adds that Hartsock’s season’s ending “doesn’t make sense in some ways,” and “It comes out of left field in other ways.” The two-part finale is “the weirdest ending we’ve ever had, for sure,” and while he won’t say if the parties involves are happy, “it sure is interesting to watch.” The Bachelorette Season Finale Preview (Part I) All season long, The Bachelorette spoilers from Reality Steve, the thorn in Fless’ side for so many years, indicate that Desiree Hartsock does get engaged. However, many suspect that something pretty big happens in the next two episodes that no one will see coming, and that could render his spoilers moot. By all accounts, he says, Drew Kenney is eliminated in third place, setting up a Chris Siegfried vs. Brooks Forester finale one week from Monday. On the season finale, Brooks allegedly proposes and Des accepts, but even the king of The Bachelorette spoilers is spotty on these next two weeks. However it ends, we can pretty much guarantee that there will be unforeseen conflict, and that it involves Brooks. The question is how, and why? In its preview for this coming Monday, ABC indicates that as Desiree is on overnight dates with Drew and Chris, Brooks is in the U.S. with his family. This is unheard of on the show, as contestants typically have no time with family before or after hometown dates, which aired two episodes ago. Brooks, the network says in its press release, is “torn between his strong feelings for Desiree when he is with her and insecurities when he is not.” A heart-to-heart with his mother and sister help inspire his confidence and “with the reassurance he needs, [Brooks] boards the plane for Antigua.” The drama doesn’t end there, though, as Brooks Forester and Chris Harrison have their own heart-to-heart and “some shocking news is shared.” Desiree and Brooks later talk this through, which leads to “one of the most explosive, dramatic, emotional moments in Bachelorette history.” Intriguing, isn’t it?

The Bachelorette final three are set and off to the overnight dates after the somewhat surprising elimination of Zak Waddell on Monday’s episode. So who’s it gonna be? If you’ve read The Bachelorette spoilers at all this season, you know she’s been really into one guy from the onset. Did last night change any of that? Drew Kenney Brooks Forester Chris Siegfried Brooks Forester is the man Des said she was in love with prior to the hometown dates, but Chris Siegfried and Drew Kenney both helped their chances. Enough to pull an upset over Brooks? That’s the million-dollar question. From what we know of Desiree Hartsock , it seems very unlikely that she’ll send all of them home, no matter what the promos might make it look like. We know she envisions Brooks at the end of her journey (take a shot, Bachelorette drinking game players), while the other two are also good choices. Chris and Drew made it known they’re both serious, committed and there the right reasons as well (drink again)! So she’s getting engaged … right? How do you think it’ll play out in the coming weeks? Check the spoilers link above if you want to know, but either way, tell us: who do you want to win? Who should Des pick of her top three on The Bachelorette? Brooks Forester Chris Siegfried Drew Kenney View Poll »
The rumor mill is swirling as to who Desiree Hartsock picks on The Bachelorette. Spoilers up until now have been accurate … but what about going forward? The field of 25 has been narrowed to just four, as tonight’s hometown dates featured Brooks Forester, Chris Siegfried, Drew Kenney and Zak Waddell. The favorite coming in? Brooks, in many people’s minds. But did he come away with a rose tonight? Who got sent home? And who – if anyone – do The Bachelorette spoilers say Desiree gets engaged to in the finale? There have been reports that Des will pull a Brad Womack and pick no one, perhaps because Brooks, who she’s in love with is not on the same page. In any case, he got a rose tonight, along with … Chris Seigfried and Drew Kenney! Initially, The Bachelorette spoilers had Drew getting the boot this evening, but recent intel suggested Zak would be the odd man out after hometowns. Looks like he indeed was. Going forward, talk has been that Des might shock everyone by sending ALL three home, but this may just be classic misdirection from the producers. Our guess would be that she does get engaged at the end, and that there’s no real catch. One gets eliminated next week, another the week after. She then gives the final rose to [your best guess] and they live happily ever after … or at least date for a few months before they call it off. Who knows. Only time will tell, but word is that the rumored final two are still iron clad. Follow the link above to see who they (allegedly) are, and stay tuned!
Only five bachelors remain for Desiree Hartsock . On tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette she’ll travel with them to Madeira where Brooks Forester will make a shocking revelation. Feelings are forming, y’all. If last week’s previews are any indicator, there are sure to be man tears tonight. So let’s get started with our THG +/- recap system! (Impatient? We don’t blame you. Skip straight to The Bachelorette spoilers . It’s our little secret.) Madeira is beautiful and completely fueling my wanderlust. Plus 7 . Chris is falling in love with Desiree. He’s ready to introduce her to his family, buy her a ring, and have a litter of puppies. Or babies. Whichever. Plus 3 . Des invited girls from her Bachelor season to give her their thoughts on the remaining five bachelors. Among them? Catherine, Sean Lowe’s fiancee. Awkward. Desiree’s falling in love with more than one guy. Uh-oh. As the girls are chatting about the guys, the guys decide to go for a dip in the pool. Conveniently. Minus 5 . Drew racks up “best kisser” and “best body” while Chris gets “most athletic.” Brooks gets “best eyes” and Zak gets “most adventurous.” Des has daydreamed of who has the best Junior and says they’ll all be great at first. Naughty, naughty!! Brooks has his second one-on-one date with Desiree and thinks today is about taking things to the next level. Chris can see the connection Des and Brooks have and that makes him nervous. She has to decide if she wants to meet his parents and if she wants him to meet her parents. And Brooks has to decide if he wants to introduce Desiree to his parents. It’s all so angsty. Minus 7 . Brooks wants to figure out where their relationship is and they decide they need an adjective between like and love to describe where they are. He’s definitely not himself on this date. Des pictures her life with Brooks as an adventure each and every day. She’s falling in love with Brooks and wants him to know it. Plus 9. They’re on a date that is actually in the clouds. It’s other-worldly. Brooks says that things with the two of them are easy already. He’s looking for someone to put together the puzzle pieces with him. Des can see Brooks as her husband and in the past 30 seconds she’s said “falling in love” or “find love” at least 10 times. Minus 4 What they both want is to be in love with someone. So they’re on the same page. Des says they’ve had a breakthrough in their relationship but that sounded like a lot of wishy-washy non-committal back-and-forth to my ears. They share a touching “I’m so glad to be here with you” and then shout that they’re on Cloud 9 out into the, um, clouds. Back at the house, Chris gets a one-on-one date for the following day. He’s ready to give a “Tiger Woods fist pump.” Thus solidifying his superlative as Most Athletic. Plus 5 Desiree is falling in love with Brooks and hopes that after their dinner, they’ll both be able to say the same. Brooks’ family gets really attached to his girlfriends, so he’s a little afraid to introduce Des to them. Desiree says that first and foremost, she wants Brooks to want her to meet his family. Plus 4 He brings up their adjective game and she says skipping, jogging, running, and finish line. It’s a marathon not a sprint? Brooks feels like Desiree admitting that she’s running toward the finish line with him was “honest” but he’s “behind in his emotional process.” That sounds like the new “It’s not you, it’s me.” Minus 9. He decides he needs her to meet his family so that he’ll know if he’s running or jogging or dropping out of the race. Desiree feels fireworks when she kisses Brooks. Eh, could’ve been all the red wine. Chris and Des depart for their date. On a yacht. She’s taking him to a deserted island. Insert Lost jokes here . Gratuitous swimsuits for the both of them so they can talk about their hot chemistry while he helps her work out some kinks. Now they’re dressed again and following the deserted island’s well-manicured path. She asks if the Chris she gets is the Chris his friends get and Chris says “100%.” And then he brings out a bottle and some paper and decides they’re going to write a poem together. Poems are so William Shakespeare. And by that I mean dead. Minus 4. They work their way toward the shore to toss in the bottle and Chris says “we’re gonna get a little wet.” Is he talking about the ocean, or their amazing chemistry? Hmmmm. He’s not falling for Desiree. He’s fallen. And he plans to tell her that night at dinner. Plus 9. Desiree makes a toast to Chris being such a wonderful and supportive man. She enjoys his “boyish” qualities. I can’t actually decide if that’s a compliment. He asks how big a family she wants and he says three to four kids. Chris is good with that. Plus 4 . Dinner is going great, conversation and wine is flowing, and then Chris starts sweating. Because he’s nervous. Way, crazy nervous. It’s silly and cute and also ridiculous. Annnnd, there’s another poem. Minus 4 . Just SAY IT ALREADY. Oh. There it is. Desiree doesn’t say it back, but she does kiss him a lot. She’s falling for him, though, so that’s something. And there’s more kissing. A lot more. Date #3 in Madeira is with Michael. It’s his first one-on-one date. Here’s hoping he doesn’t prosecute her. Or cross-examine her. There are no cocktails above the clouds or on deserted islands with Michael. They’re just going to explore the town. That’s already a less awesome date than her other two. Michael knows the color royal blue. Minus 4 . When Michael kisses Desiree, he feels a flood of emotions. Which I guess is what they’re calling it these days. They take a toboggan ride all the way down the island and she laughs while he makes almost no sounds at all. He’s very…stick in the mud. After seeing her on dates with Brooks and Chris, it’s clear that Michael is not the one. Desiree is looking for vulnerability from Michael, which is a side she has yet to see. He plans to lay it all out there for her. Dinner gets off to an awkward start with Michael thanking her for the day. It’s super weird. Minus 2 . He definitely shows his softer side when he talks about his mom and the sacrifices she made to raise him. His dad left when he was young and Michael has taken that experience and used it to learn what he’ll do better when he becomes a dad some day. Desiree’s ovaries start to flutter. Plus 7 . Michael’s last girlfriend cheated on him after moving to Miami to be with him and he was heartbroken. It took him a year to feel ready to move on. And move on he has. To Desiree. Plus 8 . Michael never stops talking. Ever. Ever ever. Minus 15 . Zak and Drew are going on a two-on-one date with Desiree. There’s a rose on their date, but neither of them will go home at the end of the night. They’re racing go karts for Desiree’s heart. And Desiree in a go kart makes Zak’s heart race. Plus 4 . After the three of them go around the track together, Desiree bows out and sends the guys out against each other. The winner gets a prize. Desiree, perhaps? Zak calls love like the rush of adrenaline when you’re speeding through a race. He wins. Easily. Plus 12. Poor Drew. Since Zak won the race, he gets alone time with Desiree first. He wants the rose so he can take Desiree back to his hometown. He recaps everything for her with drawings from day one to that moment. These are way better than Chris’ poems. Way. Plus 23 . After some kissing, he makes her laugh and holds back the words “I Love You” since she’s also on a date with Drew. Plus 12 . Drew’s glad that it’s finally his time with Desiree and considers this date and introducing her to his family a “statement of his future intentions.” He says his family was almost as excited that he would be meeting her as he was. So that’s not creepy at all. She tries to get him to loosen up a little and he giggles. It’s ridiculous. Minus 3 . He’s never had feelings like this before. With anyone. And he’s fallen in love with her. Zak maybe should’ve stepped up his game a little bit and dropped the L word. It’s not looking good for him right now. She gives the rose to Drew. And now it’s time for a rose ceremony. There’s another reminder that feelings have formed as Desiree heads into a chat with Chris Harrison. Since she’s done a good job of keeping the five relationships separate, there’s a good chance someone’s getting his heart broken tonight. Desiree says that Drew is the best looking guy she’s ever met and also kind. She smiles and giggles when Chris says “Brooks.” Since their date, she’s hit the finish line regarding Brooks. But Brooks doesn’t know that yet. She tears up when she thinks about being in love again. Chris asks if things are over and she says she’s still keeping an open mind. And also falling in love with Chris, too. She’s made her decision so they head into the rose ceremony. Drew is safe and will be introducing Desiree to his family next week on the hometown dates. She’ll also be meeting Brooks’ family. And Chris’ family. And Zak’s family. It’s back to Miami for Michael. Plus 10. Her relationships with the other guys have grown in ways that her relationship with Michael hasn’t. He’s heartbroken but he thinks the world of her. He was excited to introduce her to his family and says that no girl will be able to match up to her so he doesn’t know when he’ll ever be able to date again. Hey Michael? That sort of thing is why you’re going home, dude. He calls his mom from the limo ride to the airport. So that’s sweet? EPISODE TOTAL: +63 SEASON TOTAL: +389
