The first part of the two-week finale on Monday night left Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock in tears — but not tears of joy.

The 27-year-old bridal stylist took her final three potential suitors on overnight dates to beautiful Antigua, where she was expecting to spend time making her final decisions about which man she'd hopefully spend the rest of her life with.
While enjoying dates with Brooks, Chris and Drew, Hartsock was becoming more and more certain that Brooks, the 28-year-old Salt Lake City native, is "the one."

However in a shocking reveal, fans learned that Brooks didn’t feel the same way. What ensued may just be the biggest dump in "Bachelorette" history.

“It takes me a while when I see you again to remember what we have,” Brooks told the brunette beauty. “I feel like I lose it.”

Des then admits what most Bachelorettes don’t reveal until the finale — that she's in love with Brooks.
“I love you, I do,” she said to Brooks. “You’re the only one that I could say that to. It sucks because for once in my life I was hopeful. It just sucks that I loved you. I do love you, regardless.”
By the end of the episode the Bachelorette is left crying on a beautiful Antiguan pier as the man she loves walks away from her (scripted) reality — which she's certain is now over, despite the fact that there are two other men left to choose between. Or not choose at all?
The second part of the finale airs Aug. 5, so there's still a chance that someone could have a change of Hartsock.
