We were given a play by play by Rachel. She is not wearing her ring? What? but the Jimmy Kimmel preview says that Rachel will appear with her fiance..sooo..I knew she picked one suitor.
We pick up the show when Peter has the FOD..despite her reservations ..that he won't propose..she gives him the FOD card. He accepts. Was their fantasy suite a hostel? When Peter walks in he says "this is super cute". Rachel doesn't give a crap about cute..she wants clarity by day break.
All I learned from the FOD is that Peter has a rather large tattoo on on of his shoulders. Dont' think he's changed his mind about the proposal. And why did Rachel feel like she needed to walk out in her robe and slippers in the middle of the street to say goodbye.
Next we have Brya(w)n
Bryan grates on me. If I had a shot every time he used the word confident...I'd be about 800 calories in and unable to type this rose report.
Bryan kinda feels like he's in a dream. I think he thinks he's a legend in his own head...it's like he's read a lot of terrible romance novels. He is astute enough to know that Rachel is not her usual giddy self with him...Peter's all up in her head..They talk about it..he knows she's having a stressful week..but I feel like he's trying to say..hey...it's me ...
He takes the FOD card..their room looks a bit better than Peter's..they are eating strawberries in bed.
Rose Ceremony
Feelin' all sassy and Spanish..she wears a red dress and black underwear with spikey glittery appliques. We all know that Rachel is transparent about her feels on getting a proposal..but the dress is also super transparent.
Eric gets the good bye...I think Eric's definition of leather shoes includes sneakers..'cause he wore his white Addidas to the rose ceremony. She tells him..he loves him but is not in love with him.
Huh? I don't get the difference? Is there a difference?
Oh and she also states she is in this to
She lets Eric go...Eric says he'll always love her. I love Eric..but I"m not in love with him:)
When she walks back..Bryan goes in for a hug...then Peter..then they all awkwardly cheers to...ummm...to something..i'm not sure what.
Eric then comes onto the show...he's lovely. He asks Rachel "how's your heart?" and he thanks Rachel for putting love in his heart...Ah Eric..it was always there...he really should watch Wizard of Oz. Eric also wore black leather shoes and a cute little flower on his lapel. Looking sharp Eric.
Final dates.
We pan to Peter...who is writing something..likely very brief in his tiny moleskin journal.
Bryan gets the first final date..(does that make sense). Appropriately, they are going for a hot air balloon ride. Apparently Rachel likes to get lifted by hot air...the four people who are awake in the village say hello to them...
They go back to his room..and he gives her a dictionary of words like spouse and forever. And he tells her that if he doesn't get chosen he'll be heartbroken.
This guy is too much...but not enough...
Peter
They wore matching colour...they both wore olive. She's still unsure if Peter will give olive himself to her..hahahahaha..
She is going hardcore..she's wearing camo and brings him to a monastery and a monk speaks with them about marriage and the big picture.
Then they head back to Peter's..where there is the age old question. Will Peter propose to Rachel. I was so confused. Peter doesn't feel ready to propose. Rachel doesn't want a boyfriend..Peter says he doesn't want this to end..then it sounds like he would propose if that meant she woudl stay..but Rachel doesn't want him to do something he doesn't want. So then he says she'll have a life of mediocrity if she doesn't pick him. Well that was bold...But we have had the whole season of Mr. El Romantico say how el confidente he is. So I was good with Peter's sass. And the guy is saying he needs more time...so does she just want to secure a Neil Lane diamond...I don't get her. What Rachel wants is for Peter to propose...because he wants to and Rachel wants him to, but Rachel doesn't want to have to tell him it's what he wants.
Thsi was tiring...but Peter stuck to what he wanted..and so Rachel and Peter walk out...and I think they broke up....and she walks out of the hotel and it's raining...ahh...pathetic fallacy. Rioja is crying over the breakup. And Peter is so hot..that he removes his sweater.
Now in comes Peter to the studio live. Rachel is rude to him....she says she's living her best life...and she patronizes him and tells him the way he is is good..and the show isnt' for him..I really hope he's the next bachelor..And Rachel cared about him so much she cried her eyelashes off..and apparently they stayed in the hallway for two days...Ewww...that's some perezoso cleaning staff in Rioja. I'm so happy for Peter that he didn't relent...who would want to be forced into an engagement. ugh.
Now..on to the conclusion of this love story...
Now Rachel is saying..maybe she's rushed everything..so will she let Bryan propose.
Bryan chooses a tear drop shaped (foreshadowing?) diamond...and he's ready.
He drives up and Rachel is waiting in the wind for him..
There's all kinda hot air blowing. Everything is whipping around except the rose. What was with that dress slit? that was the highest slit i've ever seen. Oh and by the way...he's feeling confident.
He says his piece...Rachel starts off saying she's confused..i'm thinking she was going to pump the brakes on the engagement. But no! She wants him...He proposes..she accepts...and does a little dance when he is down on one knee. Rachel gets what she wants...a proposal....and a lifetime of back adjustments!!
Back to the live show..and Bryan re-proposes...they are soo excited to be together..Bryan is really excited to "show her off". Ugh.
They made it on the cover of people. And they are taking it slow..and getting to know eachother. Isn't that what Peter wanted too???
They are talking a winter wedding...but in the meantime..the town of Rioja is giving them a free trip there to visit!!! Maybe the eyelashes will be picked up by the time they visit.
Here's to Rachel not needing to seek out strong eyelash glue..and to a long and happy life for the both of them as esposo y esposa.!!!!
Until the next show...(and I hope it's Peter as Bachelor)
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!
