S19.E12: Finale Part 2

[dizzyd]

Well I’m glad they weathered the storm of the online onslaught. Shows maturity and they’re willing to talk through the tough stuff and make it work. What a difference from the other pair or Rachel with anyone. 

[phlebas]

if ABC sweeps the blackface thing under the rug, it’s going to backfire on them.  Especially if they do pick another generic white slab of beef for Bachelor.

[Diana Berry]

I was fooled I follow Erich’ s  IG account.  Really didn’t think they were together.  Just a lot of hanging at the beach with his buds, going to concert with his mom, friends wedding this past weekend.  I just wasn’t feeling they were together. 

[Jaundiced Eye]

I'm strangely fascinated watching Gabby manage to sit AND cross her legs in such impossibly short skirts. It's almost supernatural.

I loved the peacocks screaming during Rachel' and Tino's.

Jesse, it really does not sound like it was a big deal. Drop it.

[EarlGreyTea]

Forget the cheating scandal, address the blackface! That's the bigger issue.

[SallyAlbright]

It amazes me that not one but two women were into Erich's mullet 😂

[truthaboutluv]

Why is Gabby wearing a seatbelt (excuse me, I've only just now paid close attention to what she's wearing)?

Also it's clear that Gabby has completely drank what Erich's selling. Now I'm not saying he's lying or full of shit. Just saying it's clear she's not willing to give him up because of this ex-girlfriend situation. She was head nodding like crazy as he spoke.

[Lamb18]

Isn't anyone going to offer condolences to Erich for his father dying? I thought Jesse would say something.

[TheFinalRose]

Who knew you had to be a monk for months before applying for the show. This is nonsense. 

[DEL901]

Oh, god.  There is still an hour left.  

And they are not mentioning the blackface incident. Cowards.  

[Meowwww]

Ugh.  Rachel going on and on and on and on.  Dude can’t win.  I have a giant headache. 

[Lamb18]

What is there left to show for a whole hour?

[alexa]

See Rachel, sometimes things aren’t perfect but you try to work through it and actually let the other person speak.

Wait, there's a whole other hour?

Maybe Rachel and Aven had a fight while Gabby was on, and they're gonna let her disembowel Bachelor #2 tonight.

[Diana Berry]

Do I want the nice guy that Rachel dumped to be bachelor??  
 

of course we will get at least 30 mins of BIP previews.

They should address it. 
Erich needs to be able to explain his decision to do this. 
Many people do things out of ignorance or stupidity vs. being racist.

He needs to state his case.

I’m more concerned about his actions and deeds overall.

[Jaundiced Eye]

Jesse, you tease! We can only dream of never seeing Rachel again.

[DEL901]

That strap on Gabby’s dress looks like her underwear slid down.  

[Amy Beth]

Why does Aven want to be with Rachel? I don’t get it.

[Tuneful]

I feel bad for Tino. I wish he had gathered his pride and not stayed and groveled to the extend he did. Remembering Zach, who didn't declare Rachel is an a***hole or bonkers, but he was clearly holding back. And she has clearly expected it and enjoyed it every time a guy grovels. How do you say entitled?

My guess…. Rachel asked Aven to explain again, but they are stuck in another look where he tries to explain and apologize, but she wants more.

I feel like her dress is the winner in the Project Runway unconventional materials challenge which required using seat belts.

[Kiss my mutt]

I think they paid Aven to take her out on a date so she doesn’t complain to producers about how shitty her season was.

So, there will be an After the After the Final Rose special where she berates him again?

[Stats Queen]

I thought Jesse was a good host until the reunion- he was just, not good.

Tayshia by herself or Harrison would have been better.

She's looking too thin IMHO. 

She's probably already dropping the pounds on DWTS. Everyone does, and she doesn't have any to spare.

If they did, I applaud them so I didn’t have to see or listen to her entitled mopiness anymore. But still wtf Aven! How much did they have to pay you! 

[Kiss my mutt]

Jesse let the dressing down of Tino go on way too long. It’s like he checked out. Or maybe he didn’t want to get yelled at by Rachel.

I wonder if the producers encourage audience reactions in advance. I don't want to live in a world where anyone could possibly support Rachel.

[tennisgurl]

We’ve got a Bachelor! And more importantly, I’ve got an excuse to make lots of Emperors New Groove references! 

Edited September 21, 2022 by tennisgurl

[Jaundiced Eye]

A lot of us called it with Zach. It was too obvious.

[dizzyd]

So 40 minutes for Zach! Is he the youngest Bachelor? I’m glad they’re not doing a split season coz this season was a mess. And Puddy!

[nickp1991]

 Poor Rachel should have gone to therapy after Clayton rather than being made the Bachelorette

[Diana Berry]

Yay Zach please be a nice bachelor .  He is a good believable cryer.  I see a future Mesnick

[DEL901]

So, if Aven and Rachel don’t work out, will she show up at some point expecting Zach to take her back?

[phlebas]

[DEL901]

Apparently, filming starts Monday.

Aven was hanging out with the other bachelors this past Weekend on IG.  I think it’s producer shenanigans 

[b2H]

Beautiful and interesting women.

Hmmm…. A cache of influencers again?  It just seems good candidates are hard to come by for this show after two decades.  Learn something from the Aussie version or something.

[TheFinalRose]

Zach saying five or six You Knows in one sentence. Ugh.

We'll get to see how fast Zach can run.

[Lamb18]

Oh it's a preview before filming! Just like someone who met three guys at the end of the Bachelor before filming for her own season started.

[Kiss my mutt]

Watch Rachel go on Zach’s season now!

[Jaundiced Eye]

I'm not convinced Zach was really that into Rachel in the first place, but watching all the crazy BS has got to be making Zach grateful to have escaped Rachel the lunatic. 

[tennisgurl]

I’m already calling Rachel crashing Zach’s season, announcing that he’s always been the one for her, after Aven doesn’t respond to one of her texts fast enough. 

[DEL901]

Part cute idea.  Part sucks for the part of the audience whose view is blocked.
