Rachel's parents look so pissed.

They should be relieved 

[Kiss my mutt]

Gawd, I hate this show. I bet that was a fake rejection in Iceland. Where at ABC do I send my bill for my broken tv. 
I just don’t care anymore.

Worst. Ending. Ever. 

Well, Jake and his anger issues toward tacky ol' Vesuvius or whatever her name was is always going to be the worst, but this is close.

[Lamb18]

So maybe Cassie is the next one after all?

[Daisy]

honestly.... well.  if she's happy, i guess.  again I have to say she's a better person than me. because I wouldn't be able to get oer that argument in iceland, being told "i was love "most"" and seeing how he treated other people as a backup. 

[dizzyd]

This is just like Matt and Rachel! Although they got back after the show but still and they’re still together. Good luck to them.

Jake and Vienna at least got to the Final Rose Ceremony with a veneer of affection/love. Their breakup, and I agree with you that it was AWESOME TV, still came months after the season was over.  

[DEL901]

She made him suffer when she left Iceland and suffer while these last few episodes aired and he couldn’t spoil the ending.  She has him under her thumb now.

That's not a better person for you.  You have more respect for yourself.

[DEL901]

She has all the power in their relationship now because she’s shown him she won’t put up with his crap and will walk. 

[Kiss my mutt]

This was only the most shocking finale for how sucky it was

[Amy Beth]

I repeat, did Susie watch the show back?

[dizzyd]

Imagine showing the kids this if they make it to that stage. 

[DEL901]

He has such a smirk on his face.  I still dislike him. 

[EllenB]

I guess Gabby and Rachel won't be bridesmaids if these idiots get hitched.

[Melonie77]

This does not make any sense.
Despite all the "likes" Susie managed to clearly spell out why she felt she was treated so badly and how he was not her person...and now she's back? And here I thought she was a nice person for managing to be kind when making her case.

So now I find myself turning cynical and thinking Susie wants something out of this. Could it be the chance to establish an influencer brand or has Clay-Man been offered a spot on Dancing with the Stars which would put Susie on camera in the audience?

he either spilled all the tea. or she doens't care because technically she "wins". she got a lot of sympathy and she still gets the guy, so win win for her. 

[Lamb18]

She looks at him like "I've got you now! Ha ha!"

Good point. I hate this show too but I can see the Iceland rejection being scripted and this whole thing a set up to make it The Most Shocking Finale EVER. 

Yeah ... fake. But pay attention, everyone will be talking about it and these two will make ALL the talk-show rounds now. It's a win-win for them AND the franchise. And Neil Lane. Now Clayun's dead-eyed responses to everyone makes sense, he's just a crap actor.

[alexa]

She is not in love with him.  Did you hear how fake that was?  And he still is stone faced.  

[pennben]

Susie: You treated two other girls like shit for me…that’s love.
 

At least two losers are taken for a bit to spare others in their orbit.

And Neil Lane

who this?

[PBnJay]

Yeah, and they just happened to have a rose backstage.

But wait, no engagement or NL ring reveal?

[DEL901]

Wonder how much she is being paid to rehab his image?

[alexa]

This is all so fake.

[JenE4]

Sorry. I’m not going to be Team Clusie. Nor Team Sayton. Yes, Team Sayton is the perfect couple name for this match made in hell.
 

[dizzyd]

Demi has had a sour face through the entire show. 

[DEL901]

Just now, Daisy said:

who this?

The jeweller who always provides the rings. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I feel dead inside about this proposal and I love proposals!

oh wait, saved by the rose.

[TiredMe]

Does she really love that big lunkhead?

[Lamb18]

He supplies the engagement rings.

This has to be their couple name. At least until next week, when we get the US Magazine exclusive on how, despite fighting for their relationship, it's over.  

I think ABC really thought that they owed Clay-en some redemptive arc, and they paid Susie to do this.  She agreed, but drew the line at the fake engagement. 

[DEL901]

He didn’t quit his job for her. With the way the show portrayed him, I am sure he was asked to leave.  He was in sales.  Who would want to deal with him?

As for him moving, or pretending to move, like I said, Susie now has the upper hand. If he wants her to help rehab his image, he is going to have to make sacrifices.

Weirdly, both Gabby and Susie say they are best friends and that the other would definitely be a bridesmaid in their future weddings! Becca Kufrin asked them on her podcast. This show truly is strange...

[lgprimes]

Whoa. And to think i thought she was the one with self-respect! 
gross.

[Lamb18]

Maybe it's Shanae!!

Could be Serene.

[Daisy]

Both?
The last time they did that didn't one of them get voted off like Survivor?

[Amy Beth]

It’s Joe Millionairess!

[dizzyd]

I definitely approve. This is going to be like Joe Millionaire.

[Kiss my mutt]

Gabby AND Rachel? I’m okay with that!

[Lamb18]

Both of them?

Someone in wardrobe must have helped Gabby fit a dress.

[truthaboutluv]

A season of two leads competing for the same guys - what could go wrong? Oh I can already foresee the shit show. Let's enjoy all this "girl power", "we love each other so much" right now. 

Because no one really expects that the producers aren't going to find a way to turn this into a them pitted against each other shit show, right?

Edited March 16, 2022 by truthaboutluv

[AuntieDiane6]

Maybe they'll fall in love WITH EACH OTHER. That would be the most shocking Final Rose ever. 

[Daisy]

so basically "not clayton."

[DEL901]

Gabby’s wish list…the opposite of Clayton. 

[JenE4]

I knew he was going to say both. Thank goodness they’re not voting one out night 1 like they did with Kaitlyn. It’ll be a buddy show like this season’s Joe Millionaire.

[SallyAlbright]

For those who watch Joe Millionaire, how does this work? Do they both date the same guys, or is the group somehow split in two? What if they each have the same favorite guy? 

[Kiss my mutt]

I don’t think Big Tony is ready for this.  

[EllenB]

Jesse, you already asked that.

[Lamb18]

So that's why Gabby's and Rachel's parents are sitting next to each other.

And the last announcement: Grandpa is going to be the first senior Bachelor!

Susie got the bad bargain out of all this.
