Agreed. I thought Dylan was being sincere in trying to get to know Sarah, and she seemed a little bit interested, but she must have been not enough interested to make it worth Elise's wrath. Also, I think Sarah is more attracted to people who are not attracted to her. Did he do or say something in particular to make people think he was using her, or just a feeling he wasn't being genuine?

But the thing is... Wasn't Michelle there for the RIGHT reason? She met a guy and hit it off! She did exactly what she was supposed to do! Why aren't they paying for the televised wedding of her and Putz! Only wait... It wasn't in front of the cameras. That is really the right reason... To make a tv show. The silly moralizing is too much already, Chris Harrison.

I can't believe how much delusion we missed out on with Elise during her season. Dylan, learn to be direct.

Marquel, you're a brave man. And dumb. What timing. But Michelle, that was a lot of crying for Ben if you were that interested in Marquel.

Yahoo.com spoils the finale right on the main site...it says "spoiler alert" but then a few words later has the name of the winner, you don't even have to click, so it is pretty hard to avoid. I stayed spoiler free for so long! If you are spoiler free please don't visit Yahoo!

Well, also, remember Josh was the one who got extremely upset with her about even having them take the lie detector test and they kind of fought over it. Even if she didn't pick him in the end, I'm sure that must have crossed her mind. Also, with the other exposed lies, she wasn't given a choice. She might have said no again to all of them if Chris H had left it up to her. They might be nice sometimes, but Brian seems like he can be an angry dude, and so does Chris the Farmer. I think Chris has Jake potential, based on his attitude toward Nick and JJ. If Chris becomes Bachelor, I wonder if his DUIs will be an issue. I don't think JJ is a smarmy or bad person, just socially awkward and inappropriate.

As Stephanie noted in her recap, I thought it was extremely interesting that there was some extra footage of Josh when they were going through the final two, including poetry. I think the episodes took great care to emphasize the concerns Andi had about Josh and hide a lot more romantic content. In either case, it seems both men are genuinely in love with her, and it also seems from watching that she has very strong feelings for both of them. It will be a very interesting ATFR. I also do not understand the Marcus love. I don't get why people think he is so beautiful. Yes, he is conventionally attractive with nice features. But... something about him just seems wan, and bland. I think many of the other guys are more attractive. But personality influences how I think about this so much, so maybe this is just because I think Marcus is boring and young. Dylan looked a lot better with a haircut. My recording cut off after Chris H handed Andi the letter. Did anything happen after that?

Word to everything you said about Nick, truthaboutluv. I think they are all jealous. My sister and I were comparing him to Courtney-- he's got her moves, but without her meanness. I have only seen him be nice to everyone else; he just annoys them unintentionally. Josh is beginning to scare me. I don't think they have a healthy dynamic.

Complete Nick fan here. I totally see it and have since he stepped out of that limo in the cute polka dot tie. (When Chris Harrison said he didn't see what Andi saw in Nick the first night, I thought, are you blind?) He's got those soulful, intelligent, searching eyes that can make you feel really special, and I think the key to why Andi won't get rid of him for a while (not spoiled) is in the "he really sees who I am" comments. He is being real, or at least projecting very strongly that he is. This type of sensitive guy can sometimes get away with being selfish or arrogant; why is why the trait is MY 'watch out' trigger. But Nick's arrogance at this point is completely fine -- shouldn't all the men who have a connection with her feel like they have a real chance? I thought the other boys were being jealous and annoying - especially JJ and Cody. Josh also is definitely a front runner - she can't get enough of him. He's not my personal cup of tea, but I thought he was being earnest. If anything, too earnest - he takes himself way too seriously. Location gives him big points here - she's always considered him a real life possibility. Third, fourth, and fifth all votes for Marquel as next Bachelor!!!! I find him incredibly engaging, smart, handsome, and fun to watch. Was soo sad he left instead of Cody or Dylan or Brian! Speaking of Brian, I noticed that in her blog, Andi talked about how they played with the frog's legs at dinner, so maybe it wasn't as horrible as they showed on the episode and could explain why she is giving him another chance. And it did look like a horrible date on the episode.
