Ok, I'm confused.
Last night's finale episode was one of the sweetest ever, especially once it became clear that Brad was going to pick Emily. Not only is she the hottest woman I've ever seen, but she's from Charlotte. Holla! Plus, I love that a single mom was FINALLY chosen. (Though I'm not really sure why any mom would go on the show in the first place, since they get to see their child an average of one time during filming. But I digress.)
I also have to say, this was the only finale where I genuinely liked both women. As gorgeous as Emily is, Chantal is equally beautiful, and bubbly and charming to boot.
I usually tear up a little during the proposals, (mostly because of the size of the engagement ring), but I cried like a baby when they just stood there, cheeks pressed together, whispering I love you back and forth. This was for real! This was it!
I mean, how much of a buzzkill was After the Final Rose? I'm pretty sure Jake and Vienna looked happier together, even when she was constantly undermining him. On one hand, perhaps Emily and Brad were just being honest, giving us a taste of what this process is really like vs. the fairytale ABC is pushing them to present.
Unfortunately, I don't watch The Bachelor for a dose of honesty or reality. I want a big, fantastic, cream-puff fairytale that ends in a million-dollar wedding for all of America to sit and drool over. Hearing that Brad "has a temper" (translation: "is a huge douchelord") does not help me one single bit. Plus, with Emily's personality being what it is, what in the world is Brad having temper tantrums over? How agreeable and sweet she is all the time? How kind she is? How she only has nice things to say about everyone?
Who can fault Emily for not wanting to jump into marriage with a grown man that throws temper tantrums? Also, why did they seem so uncomfortable when Chris Harrison asked if they were still engaged?
So what do you think? Were they just being honest or are they headed for Splitsville? Any other favorite moments from last night?
