First of all... what in the literal holy graces of everything that is good was shared on national television Monday and Tuesday night as the "Season Finale" of 'The Bachelor?'
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the show, I only ever watch the highlights and the final episodes of the show because who doesn't love happy endings right? Well, a happy ending I did not get. Let us discuss the first part of the finale of 'The Bachelor,' shall we? I have strong feelings. VERY STRONG FEELINGS.
Fair warning, prepare to be SHOOK!!!!
The scene begins in the oh-so-beautiful country of Peru. This is the moment for everyone to see who gets the final rose. The final two bachelorettes meet the parents, which went well, I think. Except for the fact that Arie's family kept talking about Lauren on Rebeca Kufrin date's to meet the family. They clearly preferred Lauren by the way- until the dad changed everyone's mind. The one-on-one dates go well but Arie is still uncertain of who he should choose to be his wife.
With said uncertainty, one usually take a step back and tries to figure out how you feel and not toy with people's feelings right? That's not at all what Arie did. When it all came down to the final rose, he gave it to Rebecca Kufrin and proposed to her. But, even when he sent home Lauren, he told her he loved her and kept holding her hand. WTF dude? That is a total dick move.
Problem is... he DIDN'T know who he wanted to marry until the morning of the proposal.
That's a NO NO...
Regardless, I was very happy for Becca and to see her also happy was just refreshing. But... there was still an hour to go in the finale! I am sure the rest of America was wondering WTF was happening at the moment.
It turns out that months of being engaged to Rebecca still had that man indecisive. He still had "feelings" for Lauren.
Then came the unedited segment of the show. Becca went to meet Arie in LA in a happy space and was gushing about the rock on her finger without knowing that she was about to be embarrassed and have her heart dragged on LIVE television.
He broke up with her, AFTER proposing to her on television. TRIGGERED.
Honestly, this has to be the most cringe-worthy moment on TV. Arie claims Becca knew he was struggling and she felt like they were a solid team. He even reached out to Lauren. WTF? The 'unedited' break up lasted for 40 long minutes. She was the most composed human being going through a break-up.
He chose her because she was the safe choice! The safe choice? I honestly don't understand why Los Angeles is not in ashes right now. I would've ripped him a new one. All hell would've broken loose. I'm mad and embarrassed for Rebecca. I AM FUMING.
He had no remorse whatsoever. NONE. NADA. AUCUN. And it bothered me, personally, that he 👏🏾would 👏🏾 not 👏🏾 leave 👏🏾. He was just always in her space. She repeatedly asked him to leave and he just stood or sat there with no guilt, whatsoever. And he kept touching her.
And screw ABC for filming the breakup. Who raised the producers and people behind the cameras? This is downright cruelty. I cannot write all the things I think about this guy because it would be an epistle.
THE AUDACITY!!!!
