S28 E11: The Finale

[dizzyd]

Well apparently it’s not a dollop of Daisy sour cream because only Daisy cottage cheese will do. I don’t think I can handle a whole season of that.

Kelsey's already wearing her wedding dress.

I thought that too! 😂

But I really like Daisy’s red dress.

[Jaundiced Eye]

Did I hear right? Before Joey introduced Kelsey to his family, did he describe her as silly? So silly? Seems like an odd thing to say about your intended.

[LakeGal]

This season did not have the final 3 women staying together.  They did not show them going on overnight dates with Joey while the others waited for them to return home.  It is nice to see them all care about each other.  

[Riplet68]

I'm enjoying watching Rachel and GAbby react to everything.  When Joey didn't give Daisy any affirmation, and when Daisy showed up at Kelsey's door; them putting their heads together and covering their mouths to whisper frantically to each other was great.

So yep...never seen before - one ette going to talk to other before final ceremony

They both are really sweet, tbh.  I think it is nice they can be so nice to each other and mature about it all.

Daisy, Kelsey, and Joey are just all such genuinely sweet and kind people! Maybe we really are watching a Hallmark movie. The way Daisy and Kelsey were both just crying for each other and wishing the best for each other. I guess it’s kind of an odd situation, but they really do seem like they’ve become best friends.

[WatcherUp2]

I've heard cheerier music at funerals.

[dizzyd]

Ok that’s a first, haha!

[JenE4]

Why is Kelsey in the car first?!? Oh, Daisy is driving, too. They are in the car together?!? Whaat?!?  I am dying! Bachelor First, indeed!

[Riplet68]

Jaw drop!

Did producers put them up to this for a new kind of torture?  I love that they all seem to really care about each other

[Lamb18]

I don't know if I'd want my rival seeing my love propose to me, or if I'd want to see him proposing to someone else.

[DEL901]

No Jesse greeting?   I guess he knows wishing her luck wouldn’t be the right thing to say. 

[KenyaJ]

Okay, seeing Daisy and Kelsey in the limo together legitimately shocked me. Jesse wasn't lying, LOL.

[FlyingEgret]

Did Daisy yawn as she was walking toward Joey?

[Lamb18]

Daisy owned that non-proposal.

[DEL901]

They are really setting Daisy up as the next Bachelorette, aren’t they?

[dizzyd]

Aww these girls got me tearing up! My right reasons are showing!

[JenE4]

Oh, damn. Why am I crying? Good news, we absolutely won’t need to put up with a Maria season (just Paradise).

[WatcherUp2]

Well, Daisy really earned her Bachelorette spot, assuming they hand it to her.

[Jaundiced Eye]

Walking herself out like a Queen!

[Lamb18]

Anyhow, Daisy sure gave an impressive Bachelorette audition.

I still think she should not accept the bachelorette and get with cute John. 

[KenyaJ]

So I said during Joey and Daisy's fantasy-suite week date that I felt like both of them were positioning her to be the next Bachelorette, and this episode definitely sealed it. But I can't be mad. She showed a lot of grace and those last two scenes with Kelsey were really lovely. This is like the nicest, kindest, Bachelor season ever.  

[adhoc]

I'd bet hard cash money that someone fed Daisy the line "If I can love the wrong person that much, think how much I can love the right person" (paraphrased).

That sounds definitely like a bachelorette setup. But who knows?

Also: I was thrilled for a few seconds when I saw both young women in the car. But the "surprise" was not really that dramatic, IMHO.

[Riplet68]

That last line of Daisy's makes me question her genuiness. "...Imagine how much I can love the right one."  Sounds too rehearsed.  I think she really had feelings for Joey, but she's always saying the right thing it seems - though Joey usually seems to also.

Daisy earned Bachelorette. Let her have her moment. John can show up at the mansion like Nick Viall or Chris Bukowski before him.

[WatcherUp2]

Jeez, Kelsey, can you please walk a little faster? You're not walking down the aisle.

[dizzyd]

Forget about the next bachelorette, are they going to make Kelsey’s dad the next silver bachelor?

[Diana Berry]

Joey has good taste.  Gorgeous ring.

[KenyaJ]

Awww, my heart just grew three sizes. They're adorable together. 

[DEL901]

Two really nice, low drama people found each other.  I think they have a real chance to make it.

He did everything but flat out tell her to pack her bags.  I really didn’t like the coldness but is it better to do it that way than be blindsided at the final rose?  Guess so.

I don’t think he was allowed to tell her and send her home.    They already did that with Ali and Chris.  They needed another first.

Zach and Kaity are still together.  She takes girls trips with gabby, Ariel, baby Jess and the others quite a bit.  So you can get the guy and still make life long friends .

I agree. I’m usually cynical, but i think these two have a real shot. There seems to be genuine love between them (that even Daisy saw). This doesn’t seem to be just the usual Stockholm Syndrome, made-for-TV “engagement.”

[Lamb18]

I'm happy for Joey and Kelsey. They seem like they really love each other.

[alexa]

This is the first couple I have liked in several seasons.

[Lamb18]

Daisy looks different but I can't figure out why.

[DEL901]

It is nice to see his parents united for their son, even though they are divorced.  He gets his niceness from them, I’m sure.

Laugh lines around the eyes are gone.  She’s very gracious.  Giver her credit. 

[WatcherUp2]

That's probably the least acrimonious rejectee talk with the Bachelor on AFR that I can remember

[Riplet68]

I really, really, really hope they are genuine and they make it. I also hope they are really as nice in real life as they are on the show.  This is the first season I've actually enjoyed watching all the way through. Joey had some really amazing, truly seemingly kind women.  Daisy looks different cause she's in her "time to announce the next bachlorette" dress.  Bur for real...her face does look different for some reason.

I like that the women really care for each other

[JenE4]

You came into my life for a reason [so I can be Bachelorette].

Might just be the makeup but I think it’s the eyes.  She looks more polished.  I like the Daisy Clampett better .

IKR? I've watched this show since Andrew Firestone's season, and it's so refreshing to see nice people being nice to each other and genuinely wishing each other well. As much as I love a trashy season full of drama, this season was a nice palate cleanser. 

[JenE4]

Daisy’s hair was frizzy this whole episode from the Mexican humidity. Her hair and makeup are professionally done and perfectly polished. And that dress! Wowzas!

[dizzyd]

We’re in for a hallmark bachelorette season aren’t we? I’m already imagining all the cliches coming out of the limo. 

[WatcherUp2]

Are the Golden Bachelorettes in the audience gonna stampede Kelsey's Daddy?

[JenE4]

I think I might agree with Jesse that Joey is the best bachelor ever. I’m just really impressed how Joey, Kelsey, and Daisy handled this whole thing. They’ve restored my faith in humanity. I don’t think we’ve seen such Right Reasons contestants since the creation of social media. Team Right Reasons (for the first time in 22 years)!
