S24.E12: After the Final Rose

Just because Barbara's a self-centered witch doesn't mean Madison isn't one too.

If I was jet lagged and production came and got me and my family up, did out make-up and hair and placed us on the couch with the cameras and cameramen in my face ... and then kept us there for three hours while my son sat outside with a whiny, indecisive girl who couldn't make up her mind whether she wanted to come in and meet me or not.  I would be inclined to dislike her, too. 

I don't know why anyone would assume it was production's fault, the Webers must have asked what the hold-up was a dozen times, and clearly they were told it was Madi not wanting to come it.  If it had been any other reason they would have found out in that time.  Then Madi breezes in and doesn't apologize, just starts telling them the ways in which their son didn't measure up to her standards and how she's not sure about him.

Madi's sneer and snotty winks while Barb was talking about the delay and the lack of apology said everything to me.  If it had been production's fault that would have been the time to say so, but no, Madi's was all "That was the past, I can't change it."

Evidently, apologizing when you're wrong isn't on Madi's list of Christian standards for herself, of forgiveness, or thoughtfulness of others, or respect for elders, in fact her standards are all about herself and how she expects others to treat her.

Final score for me:  Peter, Barbara and Madi all deserve each other.  Hannah Ann is no doubt happy with her performance and her escape.  Bring on the Clare show.

Sorry but I understand Barb's concern and personally I think Madison is a self indulgent privileged SOB looking for her 15 mins of fame. Sheknew coming onto the show that Peter had already done the dirty deed with Hannah and that he let his small head think for the big one. She knows what may happen in a fantasy suite. She should have long ago let her beliefs about the subject and how it may impact their relationship be known. Twitter is full of millennials who are so PC and see her as a strong woman and Barb as a nut. Wait until they have kids and are in a similar situation - it's not easy.

From a person who's parents didn't approve of their pick for a spouse - it's tough and they already have so many differences between them. Bet they break up within 4 months as Peter is not going to change his ways. Right now - she's the forbidden fruit he can't taste.

Another reason why I wanted Mike for the bachelor - this guy is a wimp.

Well, well, well, mama Weber didn't do herself any favours tonight but one thing I will say, after voicing her complaints about Madi (waiting for 3 hours, not apologizing etc etc), Madi never addressed any of it, she just had this smug expression on her face and a smirk which makes me think there's more to this than meets the eye and Madi isn't necessarily an innocent little flower in this car crash series of events but I guess we'll never know for sure. It just strikes me odd that mama Weber would like HA so much and loathe Madi.

Trashing her son's chosen candidate was never going to achieve anything other than make her look like a classless nutcase.  At the end of the day I agree with her that this relationship will never last so why all the aggro, just sit back and watch it blow up and then you can have your precious son back.

Because there was probably a longer story that wasn't worth getting into on TV, and she is smarter than Barb and knows it isn't worth arguing about something on TV without having the time to share the whole story.  She actually did stand up for herself more than once.  And who would be all smiles and flowers when you have Barb angry at you on national TV simply because you aren't HA?  I mean, I can't really feel Madi is in the wrong here especially since we have no idea about the 3 hours thing, and as someone said earlier, that was really on Peter to explain--he was bringing her to meet the parents--for the 2nd time essentially)

We have no idea any of it was Madi's fault or that Peter didn't have anything to do with it, etc.  I guess I see it all in a completely different way.  I think there wasn't much Madi could do to appease dear mom, ever.  She already wasn't HA and that was going against her.

YES! to this entire post.  So much UGH to go around.  Barb is.....just Wow. She's alot. But I don't blame her for her feelings about Madison but she surely could've handled herself better than she did.   Madison, I just cant put my finger on it but she just seems so unpleasant.  I saw no great personality, none of the things they wanted us to see in her.  She's pretty but that's about it.  I applaud her for sticking to her convictions but she must've forgot she went on a trashy TV show called The Bachelor and somehow she forgot to mention her convictions until the night before the fantasy suite.   Hannah Ann, I was impressed she told Peter off, but again she also must've forgot she went on a trashy TV show. The very premise is that this person is in multiple relationships at the same time until the very end so I didn't get her big "gotcha" moment when she accused him of being in 3 relationships.  Also I get she was pissed but she's started feeling herself a little too much during the screw you speech and I thought she went a little too far considering she knew very well she was his second choice.  She looked great on the aftershow though.  Peter Peter Peter, I like him, I cant help it. He's a wishy-washy man baby, probably can thank Barb for that, but he did OK standing up to her on TV.  He's not a monster, he's just bland and not cut out for this.  So in my opinion they're all insufferable.

Barb is not wrong about Peter and Madison's incompatibility and she is also a crazy person.   Pete's Dad also made a good observation about the early stages of a new relationship being the fun, happy times not the angsty, mirthless, downright depressing energy that Peter and Madison's relationship is filled with.   I would say there is a zero chance those two work out.

Nevertheless, Peter's family is very dysfunctional and Barb is waaaayyy too involved in her adult son's lives.  The sons share the blame for continuing to live at home and not cutting the cord.  Peter is emotionally stunted which explains why he goes into his goofy, pouty, brooding, puppy eyed behaviors instead of acting like a grownup and owning his actions.

Hannah Ann gives some more information:

https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/hannah-anns-1st-post-bachelor-interview-revelations/looking-back-and-ahead/

Quote

Timeline Breakdown

She also explained the timeline. Filming wrapped right before Thanksgiving in November, they spent New Year's together and ended things at the very end of January. Before flying out, she asked Peter to give her a heads up if he was ending things — he did not.

Quote

Looking Back — and Ahead

Watching the season was "really helpful" for Hannah Ann. "It’s helped me work through any unresolved feelings I had toward him because I’m able to see how he is consistently indecisive and confused. And who wants to be with that? That doesn't make me feel secure in being with him," the model shared. "So it’s really helped me move forward because I know I deserve more than someone half loving me. I deserve someone that’s going to give me 100 percent, and I felt like me being so clear and not playing mind games with him, that he would give me that in return. But really, he was just reckless with my heart."

Maddie and Peter will surely be broken up by paradise, and she and Hannah Ann will be a hit there. Madi is much better off in paradise than with Peter because at least there, she will have a lot to choose from and can pick whoever she wants. I predict Hannah Ann will be the Hannah G of last season in paradise where all the guys will say they are here to meet her. She's pretty and sweet. Kelsey will be the one who likes all the guys, cries constantly.. but they friend zone her.

Madison is a spoiled rotten B**CH.  Don't worry Hannah Ann, Madison will dump Peter soon.  Madison is so spoiled she just didn't want to lose a competition since she eats from a silver spoon.  Once the winning feeling wears off, she will dump him.  She doesn't love him or his family.  Such a joke.  Shame on Harrison for going to visit Madison and push the "fake" love she has.  She just wanted to see herself on tv one more time and show off some of her clothes.  Everyone can see that Hannah Ann is gorgeous and genuine-not ugly, fake and self-centered like Madison.  Oh by the way-lose the ugly eyelashes, Madison.  Do they naturally curl that funky way?  I never expected the Bachelor to allow someone so ugly and rude to be a contestant.  All Madison cares about is herself.  If my daughter ever treated another adult like she treated Peter's family, I would want to crawl in a hole and die.  Nobody wants their daughter to grow up to be disrespectful and rude.  

Hanna Ann is the winner of this show.  She is the only one that came out smelling like a rose.

I am still confused on the Hannah B part...... did Peter say something to HA about closure with HB, AFTER they got engaged??

From the article:

Hannah Brown ... Again?

Hannah Ann didn't reveal if Peter really reached out to his ex, Hannah Brown, but did say when he told her he wanted "closure," Hannah Ann hadn't seen the episode yet, which featured them getting cozy. "I had no idea. ... When he brought that up, I'm like, 'Wait what?' ... Why should I feel comfortable with this? This is something where you don’t feel like you’re ready for any kind of commitment let alone engagement. That was the first red flag. I was questioning my own self."

When asked if he got the closure, Hannah Ann said, "No. That was about a week before we broke up."

Yup to both.  Just exactly what did Barb thing she was accomplishing?  Peter was already seen as week willed and indecisive... now mommy is trying to run the show for a 28 year old gainfully employed (for now) son?

I'm sure that all his future coworkers and passengers have the utmost faith in and respect for a man who still parties all of his days off, still lives at home and brings his women to spend the night (and spend the morning with mom cooking him breakfast).

 So I read through this whole thread to find out why Kelley was there.  So there really was no reason?  I thought maybe it missed it because  I watched it on Hulu this morning.   Was she just there to appease those who were upset she was't on   the WTA?   

Why was the ring guy there?   To make us think there would be a proposal?  

Chris kept saying something along the lines of, " you think you know how thing end up, but you don't."     Sorry Chris , but that is pretty much what  I thought would happen and I think that's what most of us thought would happen.  ha ha

I did not expect Barb's audition for  Monster - in -Law, Unhinged.    That was fun.  She was so awful.  

I did enjoy all the snark in this thread and I agree with everything.  

I just wish somehow, Barb could have been punched in the face by someone.  Anyone.

I think Kelley was there because she specifically wasn’t invited to the “Women Tell All”, because production was afraid of what she might say.  There was a lot of backlash, so it appears that she was invited last night so that production could show no hard feelings.  

Neil Lane was there with his collection of rings because production was hoping for a happily ever after, Peter gets down on his knee, proposes to Madison, and the family all hugs and sings koombaya (sp.?).  Obviously did. Not. Happen.

Thank you! No one asked Madison to compromise her values. They asked her to understand that those do not match Peter's and that he will likely not be changing to match hers.

And it seemed quite clear that the 3-hour holdup had nothing to do with production, but with Madi not wanting to meet the family or continue on in the process. At that point, I'd have had Barb's reaction - s&$% or get off the pot, honey, you're not that important.

And then she self-eliminated anyway. Tiresome. She's as indecisive as Peter and ya know what, I think she's as self-righteous and judgmental as Luke P. She just gets away with it because these sort of "values" are more socially acceptable coming from a woman. 

If it was my brother, my friend, my dad, my kid - I, too, would be all for choosing the person who said they were in love with my family member and showing the door to someone who was just wishy-washy and rude. 

I get that hating on Barb is fun, and man did she leave herself wide open to it (have some common sense and cover up the crazy for the cameras),  but I have seen cracks in the oh-so-perfect Madison facade from the get-go, and last night just showed me that she's basically as self-centered as Barb and has zero ability to apologize or show warmth.

What I didn't like about Madison is how she kept repeating that this is her journey too. I mean, no one told her it wasn't. She said it twice, once to Peter's mom during meet the parents and second time at the ATFR. It's like someone coached her to say it or she came up with that on her own and was very proud of it and has to keep repeating it, when the person she is saying to (Barb) did not question that.

And she is no better than Peter in her wishy-washiness. She told him during Fantasy Suites that she couldn't continue with him if he had sex with others, then she left in the middle of the date, then she came back and accepted his rose, then she came to Meet the Parents sulking and being "in a mood" (to quote Victoria), and then she left again! And now she is BACK because Chris Harrison went to get her. Not Peter, but Chris Harrison.

Peter is less sincere with Madison than Arie was with Lauren, because at least Arie went himself to get Lauren. Their relationship is doomed. I don't think she even really likes him at this point.

Thinking back on all this, I wonder how much Madison was forced to come back for the live show. I don't think she's actually with Peter at all, and I don't think it will last even if she's entertaining the idea. I kind of think the producers needed someone there at the end, since the whole season was a train wreck.

I still think she conducted herself well in the face of someone who was unhinged. There is no excuse for the mother's behavior whether or not she liked Madison. I don't like plenty of people but have never gone off on someone like that, especially not in public. Madison will be fine - it's Peter that the mother hurt with her nonsense.

I don’t watch the show but I listen to a radio show on the way to work that is obsessed with it.  So my question is why doesn’t Barb and Pete just move to a state they can legally marry?  They’d probably both be happy because let’s face it....Pete is gonna be  living  with mom and dating younger versions of her....forever.

i know the type.

Ive actually dated the type.

It’s actually kinda spooky when you look at a picture of someone’s  mom when she was your age and she could be your sister.

You got it right, Judy. Lots of people are saying there’s no way to know whether Madison kept them waiting, but we saw this all on TV! Peter was with his parents and they were wondering where Madison was. Then he gets word that she’s there so he goes out to bring her in, and instead of going straight in, they sat down on a wall and had a very dramatic talk. Granted, we don’t know whether this took 3 hours, but this was certainly Madi “wasting time” unsure of whether to continue on the journey. Barbara is dramatic so she makes it about “meeting her” but it’s really about whether she wants to forgive Peter. Then they finally go inside and Barbara immediately jumps in on where were you and what’s going on, and the whole family has a talk about their problematic relationship.

I'm not convinced that Kelley was there as window dressing.  I think they might've had a sit down with her, except that the whole last hour of this monstrosity was tied up with 'As the Stomach Turns' with Peter, Madi and Barb.  That went on so long, it pushed the show 4 minutes past its ending.  Certainly any hopes they had for Kelley getting a segment were dashed when that ate the show.

I haven't read Reality Steve yet, to see what he has to say about last night, but the best thing I can say about it is:  Thank G-d it's over.  These people must never darken my doorway ever again.

However, I think it is rude to keep someone waiting for 3hrs and not offer an apology.  Yes, it was most likely production that delayed things but Maddie would've appeared very classy by saying,"  I was told to show up at [insert time].  I had no idea that you were waiting 3hrs for me.  I apologize."  Instead she just smirked.  This made Maddie seem ill-mannered and did not show her in a good light.

Madi has probably never been personally attacked like that harridan did ever in her life.  It's tough to know when you're being attacked how to appropriately respond in a way that won't just make the attack worse.  I've been there.  Madi didn't know where it was coming from and she couldn't break the fourth wall and tell the truth, so she kept her counsel and deflected.  I have no problem with her response.  His mother deserved nothing out of this scenario that she tried to make all about her when she had no business in it.

I agree with the part about her being wishy washy with her feelings and "expectations." But I think she was valid in saying it was her journey too . Peter's mom kept making it like Madi was the devil because her values didn't match up with baby boy's. Her saying that it's her journey too was more of her telling his mom that this was none of her business and Peter is not the only one who is affected by what happens. His mom didn't like that she had any opinions or say in anything. It is normal to ask someone not to sleep with other women if that person is serious about an engagement with them. If he knew she wasn't the one, fine.. but if she is the one.. then have the courtesy of not sleeping with two other women days before proposing.

I would think it would be up to Peter to take the lead and apologise to his mother. 

I know no one wants to hear about Dr. Phil here, but when there are issues with the in-laws, it's up to the biological child to take care of those issues.  Peter needed to stand up to his mother's attack and put a stop to it.  He was probably told to some degree to let it go on a bit, but it went too far and, by the time she finally ran out of breath, it was too late for Peter to do much of it.

It's one of the few things I agree with with Dr. Phil:  the bio kid must manage the bio in laws.

Not so sure she will agree to do Paradise.  That's just not a venue she will be able to operate well in.  Way too secular and in too much violation of her personal ethics and standards.  I will be highly surprised if we see Madi in the franchise anymore, given her experience.

Barb is not wrong about Peter and Madison's incompatibility and she is also a crazy person.   Pete's Dad also made a good observation about the early stages of a new relationship being the fun, happy times not the angsty, mirthless, downright depressing energy that Peter and Madison's relationship is filled with.   I would say there is a zero chance those two work out.

Nevertheless, Peter's family is very dysfunctional and Barb is waaaayyy too involved in her adult son's lives.  The sons share the blame for continuing to live at home and not cutting the cord.  Peter is emotionally stunted which explains why he goes into his goofy, pouty, brooding, puppy eyed behaviors instead of acting like a grownup and owning his actions.  

If they think the Madison relationship was bad, how about Victoria? ALL his relationships were bad, and it’s because of his passive father and overly involved mother. That was real. Those people are messed up little monkeys. Peter has been taught to respond to histrionics and difficult relationships.

Sorry but I understand Barb's concern and personally I think Madison is a self indulgent privileged SOB looking for her 15 mins of fame. Sheknew coming onto the show that Peter had already done the dirty deed with Hannah and that he let his small head think for the big one. She knows what may happen in a fantasy suite. She should have long ago let her beliefs about the subject and how it may impact their relationship be known. Twitter is full of millennials who are so PC and see her as a strong woman and Barb as a nut. Wait until they have kids and are in a similar situation - it's not easy.

From a person who's parents didn't approve of their pick for a spouse - it's tough and they already have so many differences between them. Bet they break up within 4 months as Peter is not going to change his ways. Right now - she's the forbidden fruit he can't taste.

Another reason why I wanted Mike for the bachelor - this guy is a wimp.

I respectfully disagree.  Barbara's concern is for herself, not Peter.  She wants a daughter-in-law she can control, and Madison proved not to be that.  It's not her business if Peter is making a mistake; he's an adult and that is his choice.  It's no surprise that the two Weber boys look so young (I believe Barbara said the brother was 25?  He looks to be no more than 18!).  They are treated like children.  Barbara's prying and involvement in their life is not normal or healthy.  

I do agree that Madison could have handled herself better when it came to informing Peter of her beliefs.  She should have told him plainly and much sooner about keeping herself for marriage.  As for him sleeping with other women, I think she was trying NOT to give him an ultimatum and I respect her for that.  I also respect that, unlike Luke P, Madison was basically quiet about her faith and not self-righteous and preachy.

Why did Madison look more sure of their relationship than Peter during ATFR? When asked if he still loved Madison, he took a long pause before saying "yes". Like he had to really think about it. And when Chris asked him where does their relationship go from here, he took a long pause before saying they will see how it goes, step by step, etc. His answers are all reasonable by normal standards but this is Peter, who loves using hyperbole and grand declarations.

Mother deserves all the Internet trolling she's getting, plus then some. Is she that much of a dumbass that she doesn't know how this show works? And is Dad laughing his ass off at his wife becoming laughing stock gifs and memes that will last forever.

Peter is WAY dysfunctional, and now we know why. And he's not going to change. Any woman he marries better get ready to move into Peter's bedroom in Mom's basement, where they will live forever.

 

So true! He is the ultimate mama’s boy. Run Madison!

That was awkward to watch. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a parent so openly hostile to the Bachelor’s pick. I agree with the dad that they have their work cut out for them if it’s this tough in the beginning.

I'm going to make one more comment and then really try to shut up.

My absolute favorite moment of the night was when Hannah Ann told Peter that if he wanted to be with a woman, he needed to be a man.  The look on Papa Weber's face was priceless!  He looked at Batshit Barbara like, what does she mean?

He was probably afraid mommy would come on stage and scold him if he said yes.

Actually, he didn't say "Yes," he said "Yeah," which is not exactly the definitive answer that "yes" is.

I'm glad to know my instincts were right. I disliked Peter during Hannah's season and disliked him so much this season that I quit watching. But I have to say, last night kept me glued to the tv (and to this thread live posting, so much fun!) and as another poster said, I could have watched one more hour of the Demon Mother Dreck Peter show.

I cannot imagine what the people who live next to Demon Mother and who work with Moma's Boy Peter think today. How can anyone take him seriously or want to be on any plane he pilots. Although I can't imagine him having friends, so there's that.

I totally agree - his mom is smothering Peter and his brother.  ugh

Madison probably thought that if he fell in love with her the rest would fall into place, so she did not tell him about her values/beliefs earlier, so he would give her a chance.  I sure hope she realizes his family will not let this relationship work and finds someone more suitable.

the Webers must have asked what the hold-up was a dozen times, and clearly they were told it was Madi not wanting to come it. 

Which creates drah-mah, what this franchise and TPTB are all about. No one ever said this franchise is honest about setting people up to be hurt, start crying, create ... DRAH-MAH!

Madison was right to say, basically, "Get over it and move on." Something Demon Mother can't do, obviously.

Peter's parents got a free trip to Australia. IMO, they are the whiny asses. And Demon Mother getting a "no" to her asking if Madison is "madly in love with"  her son ... WTH does she expect? I'd be worried if anyone replied "yes" to that stupid question.

Oh, and the Hannah Brown “closure request” definitely happened while he was engaged to Hannah Ann. HA had the brilliant line of there being three women in their engagement—that he was still hung-up on both Madison and Hannah B, too. 

This morning, I listened to an interview that Hannah did with Rachel and Becca on their podcast.  Peter and Hannah got engaged in November.  Right before the show premiered in January, Peter informed Hannah that he was going to speak to Hannah Brown, again, because he needed closure.  Hannah Ann said she didn't understand why and it made her upset.  However, the icing on the cake was when she saw the show and the scene where Peter and Hannah B were curled up on the couch and he was crying about still wanting to be with her.  Hannah said that right then and there, she decided to end it.

OMG, Peter gave his mother a rose! My guess it's his Final Rose and he has found his True Luv 4 Evah. Now he just needs that Neil Lane ring to seal the deal.

While it was good fun watching this final rose dog pile, I am resentful, VERY resentful, that it turned into The Barbara Show, and she is all gloaty about it today. Like she's some big star now or something.

I'm waiting to hear she's got her own reality show now. That's what she was going for the whole time with the OTT everything and fake crying/no tears.
