Bachelorette Finale Recap: Brooks' Scandalous Exit Leaves Desiree Brokenhearted
Chris Harrison was serious when he said that the two-part finale of this season's The Bachelorette would be the most powerful, emotional conclusion in the show's history; Monday's second to last episode had enough drama for the whole season.
Following last week's birthplace dates, Des and her remaining three suitors are set to meet up in Antigua, which described as the "perfect place to fall in love." Des is happy and hopeful about the future, and she feels "so great" about the guys she has left.
"Chris truly is perfect for me in so many ways," she gushes over a montage of their greatest hits from the last nine weeks.
"We connect on all different levels, and we do have all the ingredients needed to make a really great relationship...I love Chris' awkwardness, because sometimes I can be a little awkward, and I think he gets me...Chris is everything I'm looking for in a husband, and I would be very lucky to end up with him."
She also had good things to say for Drew.
"There are so many things I love about Drew," she said. "He's so passionate and so romantic, and we really do have an emotional connection. Kissing Drew just leaves me speechless, and the caliber of Drew's looks is off the charts. But he's so humble and so sincere...I feel like if Drew and I were to end up together, we would have a deep connection and a deep love."
Des confessed that she has fallen in love with Brooks.
"I have great connections with Chris and Drew, but my feelings for Brooks are set apart from the other guys. When I'm with Brooks, I do see my future," Des said. "Brooks is unlike anyone I've ever known...Brooks is one of a kind, and I love that about him...After the date in Madeira, I felt comfortable enough to let myself say that I loved him."
Unfortunately, Brooks decided to leave the show as he doesn't feel the connection with Des anymore.
