The most dramatic conclusion: Part deux

Well..here we go part two.
I don't like rollercoasters...let alone emotional rollercoasters. This wasn't really exhilirating..just exhausting.
I love the Bachelor.but this really felt like a long good bye. I didn't really look forward to seeing who she would pick...rather it was just trepidation about how she would pick up the pieces.

So let's pick up where we left off in Antigua.
Des is left with Drew and Chris.
There's a Rose Ceremony...Des tearfully goes through it, telling them that if they accept the rose that they should really want to be there. Meanwhile I'm wondering if Des wants to be there.
It all feels a bit hollow...like she's really still crying for Brooks.

So both Drew and Chris accept and try to comfort her...'cause the last dude left.

There are times where i shake my head and wonder why I watch this weird show..then I remember that I love it..and then I soldier on.

Well..Des is uncertain she wants Drew to meet the family..so she decides to have a date on horseback to help her decide. Smelling like a hot horse is never a good thing.Des approaches Drew on horseback. Then next shot..another horse magically appears and her and Drew go for a gallop. They have some idle chat. Drew tells des he has spent most of the time in Antigua in his room. Odd.  They sit on the sand..and Des immediately tells him. There is nothing bridle (bridal) about this horsey date. It  sees Drew being bucked off off the show. You know what is awesome about Drew, he told her she didn't have to apologize for not loving him. He did such a great job handling the news, compared to how she handled Brooks giving her the kiss off.

Fade to light blue mini van...Drew leaves..

I'm thinking that Chris will meet a similar fate.

This show felt super long..especially with  with 'Bachelor Nation' weighing in. I didn't really care what a random studio audience member thought of what was going to happen.

Chris
Well..gotta say..both Chris and Des look great in bathing suits. They look like the couples you see on couple resort ads. They both have great abs.  Chris and Des hop on a boat..I get the feeling that Des is drinking a bit more to open off...the conversation sees boring and strained..the highlight of the boat trip was seeing a jumping fish.
Des them comes to Chris place...He gives her a journal! But he writes in it...an inscription, a quote, and his poems..who knows if there is any room left for her to write. She responds cooing "you're soo cute". Hmm..wonder if he's going to get a blue mini van escort off the island.

Family meeting.
Nate's back!! Did he get more tattoos?? The family meeting was mainly Nate talking. What is up with that? Nate actually isn't really that tough. He asks Chris.."Why should she choose you". Inwardly "well, he's the only one left". During the family date, I still wasn't convinced she would pick him.
Oddly, after meeting Chris for only 1 meeting, Des' dad said gives him permission.

Decision day.
Still I"m not sure she can pick Chris...
Chris picks a huge ring from Neil Lane's collection and he's ready to propose.
Chris arrives, unshaven. I think he tries to imitate Adam Levine..with the skinny suit and face hair. His facial hair doesn't seem to make his face look bigger.
Chris is about to propose....and then she interrupts him! Whoa..I"m thinking she's going to reject him..but she has to tell him about Brooks. She cleverly says she was blindsided by Brooks leaving, but that just illuminated what Chris was..someone who was always there...That was pretty clever...Chris is relieved and continues to propose. She says yes..
And she'll have a lifetime of chiropractic adjustments...

Dramatic yes...will this last..i dunno.Maybe she loves that he loves her...i dunno...

but what I do know is..
I still love this show.

ATR (after the Rose)

Des wears an oddly studded white dress
Des loves her ring.
Brooks seems like he's on anti-anxiety medication
Drew says the most lovely words..but seems like he has some anger underneath..but he said some pretty textbook k
Des and Chris look really good together....like they should be in picture frames..
Speaking of frames..Chris wrote ANOTHER poem..in a frame no less...

And the next bachelor is....
Juan Pablo
YEAH!!!
te quiero Juan Pablo
