We were promised two things about this final episode: a “shocking conclusion “and “the most controversial in Bachelor history.” Rather than recap this last step in the journey, I want to comment on how well the Evil Genius Producers (EGPs) kept their promises. As to the first, it was not fully delivered. Nothing is shocking... Continue Reading →

Night 1 of the 2-Night Finale was a LOT. And we've been promised another drama-filled night including supposedly a spoiler-proof After The Final Rose.  I'm quickly summarizing moments from Monday night that got my attention with so much to look forward to.
