We met Colton Underwood in Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette." A large part of the series was focused on the innocence of Colton. Walking into a rose ceremony that could've brought him a fantasy suite, he pulled aside Chris Harrison to discuss whether or not he was expected to do anything that night. Sadly, Colton was sent home at that rose ceremony and got to keep his "innocence!"

One of my favorite things about summer is "The Bachelorette." It begins towards the end of the school year for me, so I look at it as a final gift for all of my hard work. I become so invested in the show and the people that I often find myself yelling at the TV with the arguing contestants.

On Monday, August 6, viewers watched Bachelorette lead Becca Kufrin finally get the happily ever after that she so deserves. Unfortunately, not everyone, myself included, believes that she chose the right guy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that Becca has found her one person and that she is happy with her choice. I wish her and Garrett nothing but the best. However, watching Garrett progress further into the season after receiving the coveted First Impression Rose made me increasingly concerned. This concern stems from a series of pictures on Instagram that Garrett "liked".

On the season finale of "The Bachelorette," Becca told Blake that he worried too much and that her relationship with Garrett was less instantaneous. First of all, it was normal for Blake in his situation competing with 27 other guys for one girl to worry and wonder if anything he had with Becca was real. That anxiousness meant that he's human, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be a great life partner. Second, Becca gave Garrett the first impression rose so how less instantaneous can their relationship really be? She said throughout the show that she could see herself marrying Blake, that he challenged her, and that they were so alike. Then who did she choose? Yep, still not Blake. We can all relate to many of the thoughts Blake had after his broken proposal. First came the hurt, and then came the healing.

Millions of viewers across the United States watched the dramatic three-hour season finale of ABC's "The Bachelorette" on August 6.

Although the show has been criticized for its cheesy plot of a hopeful single finding lifelong love on a reality show, I have always been a loyal watcher of the intense moments and emotional heartbreaks, ignoring criticisms for the simple, lighthearted entertainment.
