Spoilers, spoilers and more spoilers!
If you aren't caught up, don't read this thread.

So, that Becca... How do we feel about her final choice? (I've only just started the finale so I don't even know yet!)

JLyn821 · August 2018

Eh. I think her season with Arie completely effected her decision. Arie telling her she was the “safe” choice when he should have followed his gut and taken the risk on Lauren had to have made her rethink her decision.

I think Blake was a better fit for her. Heck, she admitted she thought it’d be him at the end the entire time. And then all of a sudden, she says she let their relationship blind her to other guys? I think she didn’t want the “safeness” of Blake even though they were obviously crazy about each other and better partners.

I don't think Garrett is as good of a match for her. Yes, they laugh a lot and that’s important, but I feel like she wears the pants in that relationship and they aren’t really partners.

Totally agree with the above! Becca and Garrett are not going to work in real
life at all.

This season son made me realize how incredibly boring Arie and a lot of the girls in his season were that Becca seemed cool and interesting, she was a total bore all season.

Anyone watch Paradise last night? Looks like they’ll be some fun hookups and good drama!

I really thought it was going to be Blake. Garrett seems more like a buddy or a brother.

I think Blake loved her more than Garrett did. I guess time will tell! I will probably watch some of BIP but right now I have only DVRed it.

I didn't like Becca as the Bachelorette to start with - I thought she was a snooze. But out of the final two, she chose the right guy. Blake was a loose cannon and got way too emotional; he would be a jealous partner. Not that I was in love with Garrett either, I would have chosen Jason. I don't think they will last. The best couple ever is Sean and Catherine.

Now bring on Bachelor in Paradise!

Whaaaaat?????????? I so thought Blake was the better fit and Garrett was sort of boring. I did like both of them but I'm still totally surprised. Wow.

Also her breakup speech is horrible. "I thought it would be us the whole time, but then it wasn't" poor Blake.

Yep. Totally twisting the knife after stabbing him in the heart.

Well it's nice to see that her and Garrett are still totally happy after the show. Anyone remember these clowns?....

yosemite2018 · August 2018

I do have to say, I don’t think I have ever seen someone that giddy on ATFR as she was. I do think she took more of a risk but she has said from day 1 that Garrett reminds her of her dad which is clearly very important to her, and I also don’t think you can fake the happiness she showed on the after show.

JLyn821 · August 2018

I do like the format they used better. I like that they showed the break up with Blake and then talked with Blake and then Becca. Only to then show the proposal and Garrett and Becca. It was a better flow.

stothi · August 2018

What's this Instagram fiasco they made references to?

ETA: ah, Googled it. Yeah... I wouldn't have been so nice about that. He knew what he was doing when he clicked like on that ish.

MandyMost · August 2018

I agree they seemed super happy, but I still don’t think it’s going to last at all. The Instagram fiasco (that Garrett has a history of “liking” racist, misogynist, and other hate-related posts, including one claiming the teenage Parkland shooting survivors were crisis actors hired by liberals) is just one piece of it. I think Becca wants an equal life partner, and Garett just wants someone to be a wife and mother. As soon as real life hits they’re going to realize they’re not compatible!

And speaking of controversy, the long-haired guy from this season will be on Paradise, and HE apparently has a history of sending unsolicited dick pics to women, but claims it wasn’t harassment because they never told him not to do it?! Has anyone else read this? He seems totally oblivious to why it’s offensive and inappropriate.

jumpy57 · August 2018

Hahahahaha!!!! I have not read about the dick pics. Does that ever work? It must like 3% of the time for it to still be a thing

stothi · August 2018

@MandyMost I did not hear about that, but that guy always gave me the creeps for some reason. I'm glad(?) to hear that my creep radar isn't totally broken.

mrsman2018 · August 2018

Someone I know, her friend dated Leandro (long haired Leo) and she dated his friend. Not surprised that she said he is douchy.

mrsman2018 · August 2018

Now that the Bachelorette is over, we can talk about BIL! I am just not a big Colton fan. And where do they go that there are so many crabs? That would freak me out.
And bring back Scallop Fingers. ahaha
