Colton Underwood finally got his happy ending.

However, it wasn't a traditional Bachelor franchise ending that concluded with an engagement. This season, like every season, was promoted as "the most dramatic season yet" and this time I think they were right. When Colton was down to his final three women, Cassie, Hannah, and Tayshia, he declared to Cassie that he was in love with her and only her. Cassie didn't feel the same way and broke up with the bachelor.

Colton was so heartbroken that he grabbed his wallet, jumped a fence and ran away from the production crew. Host Chris Harrison and producers were on a manhunt looking for Colton. When they finally found him, he declared he was done with the show.

Colton wanted Cassie and only Cassie so he did what he thought was necessary to prove his love. He broke up with the following two women the next day. He went from dating 30 women to zero women. He went to Cassie and told her what he did, and she ultimately agreed to take it day-by-day with him.

The live show finally came and the couple is still happily together. They are boyfriend and girlfriend but not engaged. I love this. Don't get me wrong, I love this franchise and would never miss an episode, but I never agreed with the idea of getting engaged to someone after only a handful of dates. I admired those who stayed strong to their beliefs... a.k.a. Peter Kraus.

So congratulations to Colton and Cassie. Hopefully one day they get their engagement. I respect that they are taking their time and getting to know one another before rushing into a proposal.
